The Greatest Release Day in Rap History Pt 2: The hooks that made 5 classic albums

article image placeholderWas September 29, 1998, the Greatest Rap Album Release Day Ever?
But one thing that I like that he mentions as well in the article about particularly the East Coast West Coast Divide is I suspect the strategic approach responsible for its success is also what now keeps listeners at arm's lengths in avoiding regional identifiers and golden era tropes. The production can feel polished to the point of sterility, so that's the question I have for you listeners. How do you feel about how the East Coast West Coast Divide has been played out in hip hop?
