NWA/Easy E,Ice Cube,Too $hort, Ice T and others out West were blazing trials and putting their own stamp on what originated in the East.Įnter Tupac Shakur. East Coast Rap was suffering an identity crisis with New Jack Swing as the main driving force of the time.Įnter the dominance of West Coast Rap. Fast forward to 1990.rap was at a cross road. RUN DMC changed the game and pushed rap to the front of music as a truly viable format. I was in NYC when RUN DMC was breaking out in 1983 and break dancing was breaking out in basements on linoleum in the hood. Like Tupac I was born in NYC but raised in Northern Cali. I grew up while rap was taking hold of the world.
