Hey Ma

I noticed one thread in this section about the Murs & Slug Felt 2 album which was good to see, cuz it seems like most of the stuff flooding this area is the same old watered down shit with a different colored diaper. (no offense to g. malone/bishop lamont/crooked i fans but thats what it is, i like it too but it gets boring quick)

My question is, what are some recommendations for California rappers or crews that don't constantly trip off money and stupid stuff in their lyrics?

Is there anyone here willing to discuss this?

Paris, Zion I, T-KASH, Living Legends, Kam, People Under the stairs, Sick Symphonies, etc.

All of the above are dope and not constantly talking about the shit you mentioned above.

absolutely.......i'll just list sum of my favorites that any open minded hip hop head should feel (aside from murs)

people under the stairs
blu & exile (their debut album 'below the heavens' is the best of the year imo)
dilated peoples (and all their affiliated projects i.e. evidence's 'the weatherman' the likwit junkies, dj babu mixtapes, expansion sound system. etc.)
sick symphonies (althought they do have a heavy street edge)
self scientific
psc aka luckyiam (not TI's wack ass group)
living legends
aceyalone
abstact rude
planet asia (the older 'cali agents' era stuff is his best)

...thats just a few off the top.......

I can't believe you all forgot to mention The Coup,damn. Shit they released one of the best albums last year if not the best,"Pick a bigger weapon".
Their whole catalog is dope. Don't sleep!!!


Most def. I would be hard for most to name some artists like that because they are really not promoted out west other than a chosen few. It's sad because their is really some dope rappers out west pushing that positivity and got real skills and will never get that push other would promoting bullshit.
