I was too until NWA. They just blew things up for me. Until then I was a BDP guy.

I'm alright with NWA, but everything after that from that part of the country just sounds like dre jizzed all over it. Snoop, Tupac, it's all the same. Give me the grit of what was coming out of New York at the time any day.

Definitely. I only really got into NWA because it was new. Didn't listen to too much after Cube left. East coast I listened to all the time. BDP, Redhead Kingpin, Eric B. and Rakim, Beastie Boys, Kool Moe Dee, etc. I could listen to that stuff all day long.

I started this conversation saying early to mid 90s. Illmatic came out in 1994.

And if we're going to get later than that we can get into those first couple Jay Z records.

Spoiler: show

If we're talking early 90s, I'm absolutely a West Coast guy. There's definitely more West Coast in my ten favorite rap/hip hop albums of all-time than East Coast.

In some ways, we're just different people.

Different strokes for different folks.

And so on, and so on.

And shoobee doobee doobee...

Every time I play I Want You Back on the jukebox I think of you.

Because you want him back?

Should we start a West Coast v. East Coast rap thread?

because it was on the mixtape he made me

I Want You Back is such a great song.
