fair enough, though I don't agree. I think there are sonic differences regionally that matter more to me when categorizing people (IE Dr. Dre vs. Premo vs. Timbaland), and I definitely think complex lyricism started in NY and is thus a defining feature of east coast rap (though it can certainly be argued that it only originated there because the entire genre did + NYC has always been an artistic hub in general). like, no one would ever hear Biggie and think "hmm, I wonder which part of America he's from?" Same with Snoop and Scarface. but Wayne is kinda anyone's guess cuz he's all over the map in terms of his sound.
whatever, I've probably put way more thought into this than it deserves. at least Bags makes me know I'm not retarded, which is weird to think lol
