13485161, Piggybacking offa nother post-- hip.hop artist that exemplified...
Posted by Somnus, Thu May-25-23 05:59 PM
the region they claimed as opposed to where they were originally from
biggest example to me is Digable Planets and their repping of Bklyn
most notable offer is "NOISE" off of Blowout Comb
it just reaks of BK back when BK was REALLY BK
honorable mention would of course be Luda and his contributions to the already deep soundscape of ATL
add on.

He always struck me as not from LA. Didn't know he was from DET though.
|
13485209, I’d be interested to hear a better example
Posted by grey, Fri May-26-23 04:25 PM
kurupt shaped some of the culture in a way that I was surprised to learn he didn’t move til his teens. gucci up there but he from the south so it ain’t really as anomalous.
|
13485174, Gucci and Jeezy

13485189, Tupac is the greatest example of this for me.

East coast kid, moved to Oakland late in adolescence, and is now one of the first people that comes to mind when you think L.A. / SoCal Hip-Hop.

13485193, Not sure if "exemplifies" applies, but Jay Worthy is an interesting case
Posted by mrhood75, Fri May-26-23 11:45 AM
He's originally from Vancouver, moved to Compton, and now makes some of the better late '80s/'90s-influenced So Cal gangsta rap shit out there. He's a West Coast Griselda affiliate, just put out an album with Roc Marci, and is Grimes' step-brother. Kind of a fascinating situation.

13485196, bruh that shit is mind blowing still.......
Posted by tomjohn29, Fri May-26-23 12:43 PM
He opened for Gibbs years ago....and i was thrown off when he came out
|
13485199, He’s also a white Indian who throws the word nigga around
Posted by DaKidFromHaiti, Fri May-26-23 01:23 PM
But he seems to be certified and no one has checked him up to this point so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

13485214, agree but it probably does depend on where you grew up
Posted by bearfield, Fri May-26-23 06:29 PM
i grew up in the mid-south and not even in the one city in that region that had a distinct hip hop scene so this kind of regional provincialism never made much sense to me. it probably matters more if you grew up listening to local groups with their own style based on the greater regional sound at the time
|
13485216, it never mattered
Posted by seasoned vet, Fri May-26-23 07:21 PM
good music is good music
