Document Summary
Nuthin but a g thang chapter 4 straight outta compton. Neoconservative opened an offensive against the inner cities. Ne(cid:449) yo(cid:396)ke(cid:396)s (cid:271)elie(cid:448)ed (cid:396)eal hip hop (cid:449)as o(cid:374)l(cid:455) people f(cid:396)o(cid:373) ne(cid:449) yo(cid:396)k a(cid:374)d (cid:449)e(cid:396)e (cid:862)sleepi(cid:374)g o(cid:374) cali. (cid:863) This cali bias was mostly because the big hip hop media outlets were all based on the east coast and were afraid they would lose business if the hip hop scene shifted to the west coast. This neglect gave other non-new york hip hop artists room to breathe and grow and develop their own sound/attitude. Eazy e with the help of priority records created ruthless records, the first explicitly gangsta rap based record label. Around this time grew the birth of place centered rap. In new york, they never rapped about exact locations, well that all changed because eazy e wanted to put his city.
