there should probably be something in here about the technical differences between East/West Coast rap. like beats, lyrics, flow, etc. etc. Trey-Z 00:01, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Every time I speak my mind I'm lyrically critical The pinnacle of being revolutionarily pivotal Beyond anything ever studied thats metaphysical Man fuck a minority, I'm not politically minimal But obviously terminologies that are statistical Are manufactured to be unequivocally subliminal Transmitted by monopolized media visuals So I riddle hypocritically pitiful criminals Habitually utilizing typical rituals With false pretense in attempts to be spiritual TO individuals who believe in biblical miracles Instead of themselves, because they're not thinking original And the color of their skin makes them feel invisible Like microscopic miscarriages lynched wit the umbilical Only a fuckin imbecile would think their uncorrectable Cause your susceptible to becoming more than a spectacle Remember that your flesh your blood and you body are dissectable Ill beat you until your vegetable And wake up in a hospital covered in poisonous chemicals In a fetal position wit your face sewn to your testicles Thinkin that you were kidnapped by extraterrestrials You got heart? I'm the blood that pumps in your ventricles

[edit] instrumental

in my humble opinion, the word "instrumental" should be substituted with something else. I just think it looks a bit funny when it is used in an article about music. Gwissi 22:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List

A list of well known East Coast rappers should be added. (same with the west coast) --Plankton5005 06:39, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

k, just none of you forget 2pac is a west coast rapper. it seems every time i go to the east coast they want to claim him. he repped the west coast his whole career.

[edit] Golden Age and Old School

There needs to be more of a general understanding of where one began and the other ended. It was to my knowledge that the Golden Age began in 1988. Most people say this. And this article could easily be disputed for the simple fact that it does not cite its references; thus, it's authenticity can be challenged. If no one debates this within two days then I will take it upon myself to change it.--Mphifer254 15:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just so you know...

There's a boatload of POV in the "Today" section of the article, if anyone's up for fixing it.

[edit] Why was this article trimmed down?

There used to be a lot of good info on here. What was the reasoning for getting rid of it all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.160.170.174 (talk) 01:49, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Most of it was unreferenced. Dan56 (talk) 01:58, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

So put "Citation needed." You don't have to delete good information. It doesn't take a genius to realize Nas wasn't the only rapper significant in the revitalization of East Coast.--Kickflipthecat (talk) 01:14, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
