EAST COAST

East Coast hip hop is a form of hip hop music that originated and developed in New York City, USA during the 1970s and early 1980s. The style emerged as a definitive subgenre after artists from other regions of the United States emerged with different styles. East Coast hip hop has been noted as the first and original form of hip hop.  In contrast to the simplistic rhyme pattern and scheme utilized in old school hip hop, or the call and response style exhibited in the crunk genre, East Coast hip hop has been noted for its emphasis on lyrical dexterity.  It has also been characterized by multi-syllabic rhymes, complex wordplay, a continuous free-flowing delivery and intricate metaphors.  While East Coast hip hop does not have a uniform sound or standard style, it tends to gravitate to aggressive beats and sample collages.
