Luda was one of the rappers who made the east and west recognize that the south had talent...even tho he's really from Chi. The south first started to get BIG from No Limit, and that's with no arguement. He was one of the few artists that had him and all his associates all over BET and MTV. Dungeon Family/Outkast were some of the first ones to break through too. Then Cash Money, then everybody else came.
im sorry yall are forgetting the TRUE GODFATHER of southern music that created all of what we know today and that my friends is
*drumroll*
UNCLE LUKE--the GODFATHER OF KRUNK and SOUTHERNLISTIC MUSIC
heck back in the early 90's late 80s when he was underground a bit even my cousins from NY and nevada were bumping some luke....i mean i guess my opinions on cali music is this.....
like cali music back then was great to chill, groove to, but just like now, if you wanted a real party you put on that good ole southern **** shaking music"RAISE DA ROOF"" COMEON GIRL AND SHAKE THAT ****", "BIG **** HOES GET WIT IT WIT IT!!"...i love cali music but only for certain occassions like cruising through the neighborhood or chilling with my friends or whatnot, but no hate against yall though..
You will always find a Snoop, Dre, Tupac, and Cube CD in my collection.... :wink: ... :arrow:
Does west coast music still exist..... :?
I wasn't going to touch this topic because you directly asked about the South But...I'll just throw a few things out there.
Yes, there are alot of people still influenced by the West. They influence because they made and are still making good music...But alot of the "hate" that the West received is from their artists always claiming that they don't get respect from Major labels, From Other artists, ect and then they proceed to downtalk other Artists (See Jayo Felony, GAME, Ect) to get on. The West really wasn't as united as it seemed to be in the 90's. It was really only one label that controlled the West and if you wanted to make it in Rap music and you were from the West you had to go through the Row. Once the Row crumbled politics came into play and The West was basically Blackballed from the industry unless you were with Cube, Dre, or someone else with money that could get you on.
On the Underground Scene the West is still alive and well. It's just on the radio and Tv where the West isn't being seen at the moment.
