	East Coast Rap - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
		Since hip-hop emerged out of New York City, for a time all rap music was 'East Coast rap.' By 1979, hip-hop parties were being exposed to communities outside the South Bronx--where the music had all started--and this eventually led to the art form being recorded and released on vinyl.
		Run DMC was the first rap group to legitimize the genre by gaining acceptance from mainstream media.
		East Coast rap was individualized as a genre after artists from other parts of the United States (chiefly the West Coast) emerged with different styles of hip-hop.

	Gangsta rap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gangsta rap is a subgenre of hip hop music which involves a lyrical focus on the lifestyles of inner-city thugs, criminals and gangsters.
		However, gangsta rap is by far the most commercially successful strand of hip hop and achieved considerable chart dominance during the later two-thirds of the 1990s, during which time many gangsta rap artists moved towards a more pop-friendly mainstream sound.
		Gangsta rap is usually credited as being an originally West Coast phenomenon, due to the influence of Ice-T and N.W.A, though Schoolly D, BDP and Kool G Rap are East Coast rappers.

	East Coast hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		West Coast hip-hop was focused in Los Angeles, while East Coast hip-hop was based out of New York City.
		Artists like Kurtis Blow, LL Cool J and Slick Rick were the closest thing to superstars that hip hop had yet produced, and all were firmly rooted on the East Coast.
		Though East Coast hip hop was dominant through the 1980s, N.W.A. 's Straight Outta Compton put West Coast hip-hop on the map, and marked the first challenge to East Coast's dominance.

	Glenn Beck.Com - Gary's Music Review
		Rap is an integral part of this subculture that did not evolve or exist in isolation from its other major components.
		Although the sound of East Coast rap wasn't completely uniform, from the mid- to late '80s it tended to gravitate to more aggressive beats and sample collages, and many MCs prided themselves on their technical dexterity in crafting lyrics.
		The rise of Southern rap further ensured that East Coast rap could no longer dominate as it once had, but the '90s were hardly a wash for the region.

	East Coast Rap Community on IMEEM
		Early East Coast rap was actually really silly, goofy stuff--with rarely any swearing, if any.
		Even Public Enemy, the first militant, politicised rap group that advocated social change and awareness infused with Black Panther-like aggression, kept things on an even keel with the comic relief antics of Chuck D's sidekick, Flava Flav.
		All this changed, however, when rap's influence was taken up by a second generation of artists.......who were not from the east coast, and were not amused at all about East Coast Rap's toothless smirk.

		At the dawn of the hip-hop era, all rap was East Coast Rap.
		All of rap's most important early artists were based in the New York City area — old-school legends like DJ Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, the Sugarhill Gang, Kurtis Blow, and Run-D.M.C.
		As rap grew and became more diverse over the course of the '80s, productive scenes began to spring up in other locations around the country; nonetheless, East Coast rap dominated through most of the '80s.

		But Del's rap isn't as grim or violent as Ice Cube's is, in fact, he's been known to include something in his music that's far too uncommon in most rap: humor.
		Snoop rapped on The Chronic as much as Dre, and his drawled vocals were as important to the record's success as its P-Funk bass grooves.

	Why I Miss The Coastal Rap Wars
		On the other hand, I remember what east coast rap was like in the early nineties, and for the most part, it really sucked.
		That was when east coast rappers like Kid n' Play and Big Daddy Kane danced about in silly sequined outfits and tall high top fade hairstyles, and produced crappy R&B tinged dance tunes.
		At the same time, the "gangsta" style of rap was emerging on the west coast, pioneered by artists such as Ice-T and N.W.A. (for those of you who don't know, the original line-up of N.W.A. included Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Eazy-E).

		West coast rap is okay, and im not a fan of gansterrap, but i love new school and hip hop.
		i think that west coast rap is dead, because the few succesful rappers from the westside are dead, with the exception off snoop dogg and dr. dre, all other west coast music sucks, southern rap is off da chain, stuff like pastor troy, oomp camp, 3 6 mafia, outkast,ludacris...
		Why do people care about coasts?, is hip-hop so simplistic that people can relate to it as coasts...A coast has way too many artists to clasify it as a style...no coast makes bad music...west coast music will never die because people will keep being born...

		Therefore, the purpose of this review is to highlight particular east coast rap favourites of mine that don’t get half the respect that I feel they deserve.
		In fact, I rate this record as highly as Common Sense’s – I used to love her, in terms of originality with the title of the record (Basic instructions before leaving earth) and the abbreviation encompassing both the religious and social overtones of Killah’s lyrics.
		Like so many other artists on this second list of great east coast rap records, I think that I would have lost a lot of credibility had I not included a P.E. record, and this shaded the top spot ahead of ‘Bring the Noice’ which is also one of my favourite ever east coast tracks.

		Biggie was a gifted storyteller with a sense of humor and an eye for detail, and his narratives about the often violent life of the streets were rarely romanticized; instead, they were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility.
		He was interested in rap from a young age, performing with local groups like the Old Gold Brothers and the Techniques, the latter of which brought the teenaged Wallace his first trip to a recording studio.
		In November 1994, West Coast gangsta star Tupac Shakur was shot several times in the lobby of a New York recording studio and robbed of thousands of dollars in jewelry.

		However, N.W.A.'s 1989 gangsta-rap landmark Straight Outta Compton set the stage for a more identifiable West Coast style — its sound was hard-hitting and minimalistic, its lyrics alternating between violent hedonism and righteously angry social commentary.
		However, West Coast dominance soon crumbled — 2Pac was murdered in 1996, Dre jumped ship, and Death Row CEO Suge Knight was jailed over business practices.

		Early rap records, commonly called "old school," were made by DJs scratching records and playing drum loops, with MCs rapping over the resulting rhythms.
		As the genre progressed, hard-rock guitars and hard-hitting beats were introduced by Run-D.M.C., the first hardcore rap group, and the scratching techniques were replaced by sampling.
		By the '90s, gangsta rap, which originally was in direct opposition to such pop-oriented rappers as MC Hammer, had become smoothed over and stylish, and consequently was more popular than ever, as evidenced by the success of pop-gangsta Puff Daddy.
