Pic related is mad underrated, by far the grimiest production on a wu tang solo album
Ka - Knights gambit is great, you'll like it if you like Reloaded. He has the same minimal type production.
Ethan Jenkins

maybe the greatest collection of DJ Premier beats ever.
the rapping is... pretty rough, but it's kind of charming (or at least Malachi is).
John Gray

how to tell apart east coast from west coast from the sound alone? are there some differences in accents of emcees that I'm not aware of? because from what I heard separating them on the basis of the beat aesthetic is kind of bullshit, even in the golden age. you got jazz rap, gangsta and gritty shit and so on on both sides. they're about just as diverse seemingly is what I'm saying. what's the catch?
Henry Bailey
Wow, he's barely the same rapper as when he worked with CNN. I actually like it a lot better.
Yeah, I'd heard Bitch with a Perm
The lines blur a lot, but the west coast uses more funk beats and the rappers are looser and used more double time flows. The Eastcoast rappers tended to be more monotone and use grittier beats. Compare Enter the Wu Tang to the Chronic. The early westcoast stuff has a lot of eastcoast influence, and the differences now are pretty superficial, but for a long time rappers from new york were reticant to adopt a lot of the innovations of westcoast rappers, which still exists today in the whole "real hip hop" Joey Bada$$ type stuff.

I always thought that The Chronic sounds the way it sounds because it's well... g-funk. it's a certain style obviously, of course it's going to sound different from east coast stuff. I don't particularly like it either way.
Enter the Wu-Tang on the other hand has always been some kind of a strong reference point for me amongst others as it's one of my favorite albums of all time and back when I heard 93 Til Infinity (the album) for the first time I was extremely surprised that it's NOT from east coast (up until that point I associated boom bap exclusively with east coast though so maybe that's where the problem is) I still can't tell what makes them west coast besides the geographical difference. I had never any problem telling the southern hip hop apart though, because well... generally there are actual audible differences which don't make this classification in particular arbitrary bullshit.
and if joey bada$$ is this much of a "real hip hop" advocate then no wonder why he sucks so much wew

Basically Boom Bap was eastcoast and G Funk was west coast. It probably wasn't called boom bap back when it came out, it was just hip hop, and the west coast style ditched a lot of the traditional hip hop elements, it relied less on sampling and turntablism and more on live instrumentation. Also, the eastcoast rappers tend to hug the beat a bit more, whereas the westcoast guys were often a lot looser. Of course there were acts that crossed over stylistically, this is an east coast rapper from 1993

Even in the south there was groups like Odd Squad, Y'all so Stupid and Arrested Development that basically sounded like A Tribe Called Quest.
Like i said though, over time the styles have sort of homogenized over time, through artists influencing each other. I think the main reason that the idea still exists now is just that the music press uses regionalism to market artists and people from different places still sound different. But yeah, especially with the internet styles merge together so quickly its almost pointless to bring it up.
like how quickly reverybody sounded like migos all of a sudden.
