Who cares about Jay and Nas? They both took big fat L's to Dre. Dude put out two albums that are probably listened to more than all of Jay and Nas's shit combined. Then again he's from the West. So I don't understand why y'all care about two rappers from a city that hasn't released a good hip-hop album since Pac shitted on it.

Keep taking those L's East Coast.

Solange made a comment about Dre becoming the first billionaire rapper.
Jay Z made a comment about not even being good enough to be a third stringer for Destiny's Child.
Shit went cray.

It's been a rough decade for the camel. People on Twitter said that beating in the elevator was punishment for making MCHG lol
Wu-Tang forever came out after Pac died.

Oh shit you're right. That's like the only one.
Lol @ stanning for Dre as the figurehead for the west after he spent most of his post 2pac time putting on a dude from Queens, a white dude from Detroit AND produced work for Jay-Z and Nas. Meanwhile Bishop Lamont is in the bushes soemwhere crying. And he only swept up Kendrick after 9999999 cosigns.

Nothing to worry about, King Kendrick is here to take his place on the throne.

You know how I know East Coast kills the West Coast? Cause we're in here talking about Jay and Nas as artist, you West Coast dudes always have to rep a coast. Being from the south, I don't know anyone who still listens to any Dre album, whether they consider it a classic or not. Nas and Jay still stay in rotation for most of my friends.

Please Dre owes a lot to the Eastcoast where the pioneers of Rap came from.

Yall really acting like the West has been on, all of these years, since The Chronic (and Documentary)? East, South, and Midwest been running yall in rap.

Before Kendrick, the only time anyone listened to West Coast rap in the last decade was when they were playing GTA: San Andreas.

I dunno about quality of shit but the west does start a lot of fads and lingo.

Let's be real the south has ran the rap game since No Limit came around. West is back though. Still waiting for anyone from the east (outside of ASAP Ferg) to release a good east coast album.

lol so many new york rappers are just treading old ground.
I always find it weird that west coasters stan Dre so hard. Post Pac what did he do positive besides 2001 (a great album)?
Give shine to artists not from his scene (ie neglecting his) and building them up as artists.
Create a sonic monopoly, resulting in mostly wack ass music imitating that strings Chron 2001 coming from Cali from 1999-2010
Buying up local talent and then shelving it.
Put on cornballs like The Game.

2 great albums>1 good album and 15 shit albums. At least Nas made 1 great album and 1 good album. Jay can't even say that.

Cam'ron alone is carrying lingo/fads for the East.
That's the funny part of the whole thing. Y'all have always had an interesting underground but it took a cultural ?????WTF???? of guys like Lil B, Odd Future, and Top Dog Entertainment to break the hold of monotonous garbage coming out of Aftermath and Dre's studios. Interesting how that ended up working out.
Delusional.

That's a weird dismissal of Dre. It's like saying what did MJ do Post-Thriller? Was Thriller not enough for your sour-ass?
What did he do Post-Pac? Meaning besides NWA, making The Chronic, Bringing up Snoop and helping with Doggystyle and producing hits for Pac? That's more than most already.
Post Pac he made 2001forced Game to make a really good album. Prior to that he gave 50 the break he needed and prior to that he produced most of Eminem's good shit.
And then he produced GKMC.
Damn right.
I woudn't want the not as good as biggie crown.

Yeah but dre ain't even from the skreets
He did not produce GKMC, he exec produced it.
Im not dismissing Dre. Im getting at TheKaeptain for using Dre as some west coast bastion when he's arguably been a bad influence on yall shit for more than a decade. He has done some great work in that time. But not for the West.
Hes a legend. Just responding to trolling with trolling.

Yea, Aftermath in general has been a pit of no return for tons of artists.
there are plenty of them.
Also the south ran that shit into a wall it exploded and now we have rap today.
That sounds like a insult, it really isn't .
He mentioned that he wanted his own people to produce GKMC, Dre only did that last track Compton iirc
I always looked at section 80 as a mixtape.
Still while I like GKMC, the hyperbole about him being the next big one after only 2 real releases is ridiculous
Two albums breh.

Why do you view it as a mixtape? It's by every definition his freshman album. GKMC was his sophmore album.
Besides those 2 albums he has had a good amount of features too.
I remember for some reason when 80 came out it wasn't considered a "normal studio release". I thought it was considered a weird hybrid.

wiki says it was digital only, sold through itunes.

That EP was wack as hell and Section 80 is merely okay/forgettable. GKMC is his best work yet. He's shown a lot of growth, but that Messiah of rap shit is lulzy.

I feel the same. It's unreal.
The TDE hype was so bad, people actually thought that lukewarm ass Schoolboy Q album was good
