Ok, the east coast started hip hop, but gangsta rap started out here..
Easy, Cube, Snoop, Dre, Ren, Pac, Too Short, E-40, Kurupt all pioneers..
my question is, what happened? after death Rows reign ended, the west fell off.. who do ya'll think is hot and can resurrect the west for the future.. is there hope?

Hmm,interesting question actualloy.As you said,most of those rappers did fall off, but Too $hort is more underground i would think,but if he was 'overground'(dont know what thats called) hed probably ressurect it cause he sik.Snoop is garbage now,Dre,never was real hot except for some shit in NWA.Easy was undisputely the best in NWA,Cube was good also but now that hes in Westside,hes wack.Ren,E-40,and Kurupt,ive heard theyre names but never theyre music.I read an article saying some of the Outlawz still made records.If those people became,well,big,theyd be ressurecting the west fo sho cause they have raw talent.I dont know what else to say but....2PAC FOR EVER!!!!!!!!

ya true but there are still many hott rappers from da west espesially in da underground u no but there have there time at da bottom im sure things will change and theyll b on top agen things change

Yea I heard the Game (in g-unit) from L.A... He's cool, he might get us recognized a little more.. Do ya'll remember Locksmith? he was the one who lost to Riegn Man in the first MTV Battle.. i'm in his city right now, Richmond Ca, and he is making some good music.. he has a Song on Kazaa called "What is it" and he gets a lot of radio play out here.. plus on the Wakeup Show, he ripped Jin, and he's just crazy off the dome.. what do ya'll think of him?

oH, IF YOU HAPPEN TO LOOK FOR HIM ON KAZAA, TYPE IN HIS NAME OR "FRONTLINE".
HE IS THE FIRST ONE RAPPIN ON "WHAT IS IT"...

"Magazines wanna know, where the fuck L.A. been
Almost died in the same car suge got grazed in"

thats the game off lloyd bank's album. i thought that line was real hot and its got somethign to do with this thread. but about the game he'll never blow if he keeps playing the back with g-unit. look how hard banks had to work to get out of 50's shadow. yayo and buck wont blow either...yayo cant rap and actually buck might sell in the south but he's not that good either. game is signed to dre i think he needs to get away from g-unit and focus on making mixtapes and getting a good buzz going and then after a year or so drop his solo album. hes wasting his deal being that other guy on the lloyd banks song. he needs to create a buzz then maybe hell blow real big and bring it back to the west coast.

Hey have you heard of this new cat name GORILLA BLCK? that nigga sound like BIGGIE he got that new song out with that reggae beat and I just found out that the nigga is from COMPTON. But anyway i think Snoop will always be the one to keep the west coast afloat.

^Now I know you suck dick...

If it wasn't for NWA, ya'll wouldn't be rappin, ya'll would be singing like some of ya'll do now. no gangsta rap, ya'll would rap about stupid shit.. you sir, suck dick.. the greatest rapper of all time got his game in the west, and layed his head in the west... suck my dick, dick sucker.. yo mama is played.. Death Row popped way harder than anything ever bitch. snoop, dre, pac, kurupt, bitch what are you sayin?

Too Short Was the first nigga to rap about bitches.. download "Freaky Tales" on kazaa.
that's 1983 ho...

E-40 spits the most Slang in the game and is the ultimate trend setter...

If it wasn't for Cali, hip hop wouldn't be hard, everybody would be gay rappers..like u
