90% of East Coast rap/hip hop sucks, IMO. But De La Soul kick ass.

Also, this is the most predictable pole of all tim. Rich, old white people know of only one rap group from the 80's - NWA because the Feds tried to play moral police and shut them down.

Who are some of the big name East Coast hip hop artists from the late 1980s and 90's that you would consider sucky?

I'm not limiting that statement to 80's/90's, but Jay Z, Method Man, Public Enemy, WuTang, Nas (after his first album).

Straight Outta Compton launched the greatest era of rap, the greatest sub genre of rap (gangsta rap), and introduced two of raps greatest talents (Cube and Dre).

Without straight outta Compton and the style and talents it brought to the world, there would be no Death Row Records and thus no Death No Defense.

Eazy call.

Eazy does it, DNC. I can see the rationale for N.W.A. being mor chinfluential than P.E. overall, but it's not a rather easily sort of thing. P.E. was the great leap forward if you will in term's of the stance of the music getting more political and angrier, while N.W.A. came along and upped the ante.

I REPEAT: NO STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, NO DEATH ROW DEFENSE.

Well clearly they look like a number 1 seed after throttling Public Enemy. But this is a college football related message bored on the west coast for old white guys afterall.

speak for yourself

How does one know this is a shit pole by a shit polester? Maybe because 5 of the options received no votes at all. It’s almost as if said shit polester had an agenda when setting it up.

I forgotten more about shit poling than you'll ever know, Salem Kewg. Zappa's pic is on the front page of this shit hole, not Ryan Leaf. Don't forget that.

Front page???
