LA literally doesn't think about NY half the time

"Mecca" (stolen from someone else's culture) mfs love to look down on people

@JR Already dropped knowledge about that 50 Cent bit so you can go on continuing to look stupid and show have no idea what you're talking about. His mixtapes Power of the Dollar, Guess Who's Back, 50 Cent Is the Future were getting heavy play on NY radio, and Power of the Dollar dropped before he even linked up with Dr Dre and Eminem. He got dropped by Columbia not because NY didn't like him, but because of his gang and crime involvement after getting shot and viewed as too risky for Columbia to keep on the label.

How and when in the f*** was Rick Ross ever claimed by New York? What? Because Diddy and Irv Gotti tried signing him? That's all it takes for niggas to be claimed by New York now? His previous demos and tapes before changing his name to Rick Ross were all recorded and released by labels owned by Southern rappers

Nigga signed to Def Jam and immediately dropped his debut Port of Miami. Nigga was never claimed by NY and he never claimed NY himself.

Someone who clearly hasn't listened to Azealia's music lol.

look at this s***

It's okay to just admit you were wrong bruh lol I don't even care about charts but it's obvious that her and her label wanted to chart with the song. They wouldn't have gone to such lengths with a rollout for the single, putting pre-orders for the single, and using her t*** to promote the video if they weren't. This is just common sense.

Black Muslims don't exist anymore apparently

Swear as this thread gone on it's been a lot of people exposing how little they know and how dumb they are

Dearborn Michigan has more Muslim people than NYC

always amazes me how when you tell these streaming obsessed dudes that numbers have no bearing on the quality of whatever music it is, they’ll agree with you—then they’ll turn around and use the numbers to either inflate or detract from X artist or Y album instead of critiquing the actual song/artist itself lmao

exhibit a in why denouncing your old music to prove yourself to twitter stans does no favors

Nigga conflating 50’s infinite beef within the city with how he was received by the people of New York

How tf did this get 51 pages what did thr topic get changed to

Those diss tracks came as a result of bruh having to start recording music in Canada after he got shot nine times and dropped from his label cause niggas was literally tryna kill him, again, due to gang related s***. Despite that, people in NY were still playing his music and bootlegging his his first studio album cause the streets wanted it that bad. It was still getting played on New York radio.

Treach? You mean Naughty by Nature Treach? The nigga is from f***in New Jersey not New York. That whole group was formed in NJ and would frequently claim NJ when people confused them for NY artists. That's one of the things they made a point to make clear because they had that much love for where they were from. Queen Latifah, another NJ rapper, along with Tupac (is the one who helped get them on

The Pac "hate" literally only happened after he got out of jail and started beefing with Biggie and Bad Boy. Even then the "hate" is stretch because back in the 90s they would still play Tupac's records on New York radio. There were still east coast artists from NY and NJ who would either collab with him or shout him out on their records because he had so many connections with artists, producers, and DJs from there cause he's originally from the east coast.

51 pages is crazy

I just want to say banks is better than doja cat

Nigga shut the f*** up ya just dumb, wrong, and loud about it

Like it's so crazy man people in NY were still rooting for 50 despite him beefing with so many gangbangers and rappers in the city lmao what is bro even talking about

And that suddenly means Black Muslims no longer exist...? Black Muslims don't face Mecca when they pray?

Are you even from the east coast bro? Were you even alive in the 90s?

"He didn't get his credit because he not from NY".......even though Naughty by Nature would frequently get play on NY radio back in the day and would sell out shows in the city throughout the 90s.
