I've been saying for a long time there needs to be some kind-off topographical map for rappers locations.

It could include poverty levels as well as popular dance moves from said area, ie "jerk-movement terrority"

I think there's a wealthy amount of good information for a good debate coming from talking about the east and west coast. It's just like discussing different bands in genres.

People wanting to compare artists on a music forum? Surely not...

but your comparing outdated artists based on an outdated perception of their geographical "allegiance" so-to-speak.

It's not relevant to the artists, the genre, or to the fans anymore. It was an effective media ploy from two decades ago.

I am not even having the debate, I just listed the West Coast rappers I like from the list available on Wikipedia.

I know there is no real difference, just a matter of how many happen to be from which coast, and the blind luck of them being better in your eyes.

But I don't see it as being "outdated" at all. We talk about old music all the time, it's part of the forum.

I see what your saying, similar to comparing Chicago style jazz to new Orleans or something.

Difference is it was a smaller world, and as a result more clear distinctions in sound and character.

East vs West is just so general, and really only revolves around a handful of artists anyway (snoop, pac, biggie), it's just a really trite debate.

Well it's better than asking whether people prefer American music or British (which doesn't even specify a genre), but we have a thread for that debate.

Was going to mention this. There's also a Beach Boys Vs Beatles thread.
That's apparently not a stupid conversation to have.
