How does one rapper falling off set the west back 10 years?

Cause Game is really the only rapper aside from Snoop that has had any kind of mainstream success recently. Personally I don't really care about how popular Westcoast music is, but Game falling off hurts the coast from a mainstream standpoint.

One rapper falling off doesn't hurt a coast. It hurts Game.

And fyi, Black Eyed Peas are from Los Angeles.

Good point, but you don't see the Black Eyed Peas representing the Westcoast to the extent that Game does (or at all for that matter). Like I said, I prefer underground hip hop to mainstream regardless, but I think it's hard to ignore the significance of a commercially successful rapper like Game falling off, especially on a coast that currently has very little successful mainstream artists. Even though Game didn't promote his artists as much as he should have, he was still a guy from the Cali gangsta rap scene that was selling as much as anyone.

How does one artist make a coast relevant? My point is that the west coast rap scene hasn't been relevant in years, whether Game was mainstream or not.

NAH RETARD I HAD ALREADY HEARD ALL THAT SHYT BEFORE, DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF THAT MUCH CAUSE IT AIN'T THAT SERIOUS HOMIE..IT'S ONLY YOUR OPINION AGAINST MINES ANYWAYS IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE IN THIS THREAD AGREEING WITH U ANYWAYS LMAO....END OF STORY IS THAT DOC'S ADVOCATE IS BETTER SIMPLE

I can't say I agree with him on the whole of the argument since I ain't heard a lot of the albums he listed. However since you're admitting to not hearing them in their entirety, it's a pointless debate. That's not even an opinion. That's being dismissive for dismissive sake.

Bingo. I wouldn't be surprised if the only west coast rap albums he's listened to since DA are from death row related artists.

[Sikotic™]

I'm just glad people are finally realized Game wasn't shit. Dumb nigga had everything going for him, and he blew it.

[C-BLUE]

the fact that he was a stripper with a pierced tongue makes Dr. Dre's wreckin cru days look pretty good

[So Parallel]

1 - the fans on dubcc make the westcoast look like a buncha stuck in tha past clownz when the rest of tha world just doesn't really give a fuck where ur from honestly (just make a good/enjoyable record)... cali swag district, tyga, neyo, nipsey, game, e40, Murs, and the list goes on.  even Waka had the West goin hard on his album.


2 - there isn't really a problem and it just gets OVER exxaggerated by people on dubcc mainly.  it all boils down 2 talent and not what coast your from (y'all still actin' like it's still tha 90's out here)


3 - how many people are actually on some "the west is dead" shit in 2010?  besides this shit it's virtually a non existant topic, everybody else I see talkin about the "westcoast" is usually saying how tha nigga (the subject at the moment) is either hot or garbage and not how Cali as a whole is off tha map (which is so far from true, y'all just need BETTER RAPPERS representin').  The rest of the world can't help that a lotta Cali niggaz aren't that entertaining as rappers and can't break the shackles.  


4 - the fact that 10 years later this is still a topic being created by delusional fans and marketers is proof enough that y'all are still in good shape.  If a new rapper wanna stay in Cali only then that's on him/her but if you're a smart business man then you would go out and turn over some rocks.  My man Hootie from Bompton is all over Waka's albums, I garantee son's fanbase just grew a bit stronger off of that move alone.  So if y'all are only paying to attention to niggaz that's local then yeah sure it's dead (i can definitely say the same for D.C.) but if you look past your backyard then tha game really ain't that bad all things considered.

agree with this

[friscoliving]

I think game's going to come with some hard shit for RED when it drops. He may reach gold. Hate it or love it he has a solid following and he will get 100,000 people the first week to go and support the cd. His final numbers will be aroungd 500,000 though. Which is good for now a days

[Jimmy H.]

Thing was Game got a nice buzz going but it was more West Coast 90's nostalgia than any kind of real movement. Labels who already had established West Coast rappers were making some money but they weren't signing anyone new to some huge deal. I mean if the West was back in the spotlight heavy, things would have materialized everywhere. G-Unit would have pushed Spider Loc. Crooked I, Jayo Felony, Jay Rock, Glasses Malone, Eastwood, Bishop Lamont, all of these guys would have had albums already. If it were as big as some people say it was, some major would have given Game a label deal for Black Wallstreet and made a killing. The thing was G-Unit had a new artist and the West had a guy who made it cool to talk about low-riders and listening to N.W.A. and Snoop again. That's cool but you have a window on that and nobody really jumped when the time was good.

How are you not mentioning the weatherman LP?
I'm going to say it's almost classic.

EDIT: And like I said earlier, we need to differentiate between the different types westcoast music.
Nothing wrong with the extended soul assassin fam & Hieroglyphics.

People here are basically discussing the death row gangster rap.
