The east coast fell off big time tho in the late 2000's... there's been next to nothing interesting coming out of NY for the last 4 years. OB4CL2 got overhyped because it was OB4CL2, Dipset is done, Jada and Styles are still the only ones who can spit worth a damn in D Block and BP3 was garbage. Corey Gunz never did anything with his career, Cam's washed up and that Nas & Damian Marley was just average. The whole NY scene has been stagnant anyway... people still rapping on the same premo beats and spitting the same flows... NY needs a new direction.
Ditto....
And yeah I was let down by OB4CL2 myself, the first one was like my 6th grade soundtrack.

If that new Mysonne song everybody in NYC is going crazy over is any indication of what yall got then I think the rest of the country can wait fammo.

OB4CL2 was a good album but that's all it was... it wasn't a new OB4CL like people hyped it up to be, and I didn't want it to be either. NY rappers spend too much time trying to recapture the 90's.
all of CA's been putting out crack in the last 5 years with newer rappers like The Jacka, Nipsey Hussle, Yung Brodee, J Da Vinci, Planet Asia, Pretty Black (RIP), Jay Rock, J Stalin, Husalah and vets like San Quinn, Yukmouth, Messy Marv... the list goes on. Here's some songs:
I normally don't like songs like this but this beat is fire. I don't care but this is my song (and the beat ain't wack lol). This is one of the songs that's on the radio in NY right now.
Dr. Dre (The Chronic)
Snoop Doggy Dogg (Deep Cover, Doggystyle, Murder Was The Case)
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (Thuggish Ruggish Bone)
Nas (Illmatic)
OutKast (Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik)
Wu-Tang Clan (36 Chambers)
Scarface (The Diary)
Rap fell off sometime around 1996. The best time was 1993-1995. West Coast vs. East Coast was stupid. Scarface was from Houston. Bone was from Cleveland. OutKast was from Atlanta. All that East Coast vs. West Coast thing killed hip-hop. I liked the L.A. gangsta rap sound (Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg) better than the New York sound. But I liked some New York rap like Illmatic and 36 Chambers.

I already knew it wasn't going to be good as the first one. I happen to think OB4CL 1 is the best,most complete hip hop album of all time. Part 2 was definently better than anything that came out in 2009 though and a return to real music in my opinion
Nipsey hussle "got next" though. Even as a ny guy, i need that real west coast flavor in my life,its been too long. The industry better not papoose him
