Everything I make beats. I need an example of a song

I guess I'm too far under these big brains around here. Ok, when you're listening to a song. You nod your head to (one) specific instrument in the beat. You may nod every second, I may nod every half a second. We're both on beat but rocking to a different beat in the same song. Fuck it. I can't explain. Lol

It's like the dude that's clapping on the off beat. Or is he on and everyone else is off?

Lets also not forget Mobb Deep Epmd Eric Sermon is sick dont get me started on Jigga and Big. Dudes like Canibus Beanie Segal and the incomparable J to the muah killed the flow game. As far as beats are concerned some of tge greatest and best known club bangers come from east coast rappers. Pick any Jigga album I can show ypu at least two. Remember the Bad Boy era of 97 to 98. GUnit had the xlubs on smash from 2003 to 2006. And besides hot beats there was a lot of good lyrical content with heavy base. Lean Back by that boy Joey Crack was killing the clubs in 2004 oh lets not forget Big Pun.
Hate or love it you go down any rappers list of their favorite top ten rappers most of the dudes are from the east coast and bring me any billboard list from 2005 and back and most of those hits are east coast songs except 92 to 94 when Snoop and Dre had it. Its cool to have personal preference but dint crazy now lol

I'll give you the bad boy era and some g unit stuff, but look at that style vs KRS one, Raekwon, ODB. The popular ec shit was trendier...that's why it was popular. Hard core ec rappers are not the most popular shit, except maybe in NY. I've made no bones about the fact that I'm completely biased...two minutes in the music thread and you'll know exactly where my passion lies.

I tried to find an example of what I'm talking about, but I'm nauseous at this point riffling through all that ec crap. I just clipped about 10 ec videos and the delivery of vocals is no where near as smooth as wc rappers. Outside of the vocals, the beats suck balls. Again...no where near the beats in this wc shit.

We can agree to disagree. I've already admitted to being completely narrow minded when it comes to my music!

I'll give you "most literate" just because I'm feeling generous and I can't think of any evidence to fight that claim right now lol. But "verbal dexterity, breath control, pacing"...lets be honest love, they do fine with breath control and pacing because they're just talking! If my little white ass can keep up with their lyrics, it can't be THAT challenging! Plus, they're not even trying to stay on point with the beat...where's the difficulty there?! I'm the queen of freestyles, and that's where I usually judge the true talent of someone's flow...WC has EC beat at every turn.

I don't mean to imply that California doesn't have any MCs, they have many. It's just that to me California was the beginning of the dominance of the music over lyrics. I am a huge fan of Ice-T, NWA/Ice Cube/Snoop/Dre, Digital Underground, Souls of Mischief, Dilated Peoples, Alkaholics, Jurassic 5, and, even though I hate slow rhyming, Too Short is a legend. So I have love for the West Coast. You know what's funny? There was a similar debate in 1950s-60s jazz about the hard cerebral NYC sound vs. the laid-back, breezy California sound, best exemplified by Wes Montgomery and Chico Hamilton. Cali tunes might be best for raising the roof at a house party and have much broader popular appeal, while NYC beats are better for head-nodding and breaking and appeal to intense hip hop fans. So I agree that both have their place, as do the butt-tunes from the South.

And I just had to rep you on this. Lol
