Who is the Most OVERRATED West Coast Artist

[RichAzure]

I don't understand how Kendrick is overrated when he's been rapping since 04, 05 and now he's finally getting some type of buzz... would you rather a good rapper remain unpopular forever?

[HighEyeCue]

is this thread about currently or all-time?

[LooN3y]

lol man, its got to be GAME and NIPSEY


game was SUPPOSEDLY SUPPOSED TO BRING THE WEST BACK



SO WAS NIPSEY he was considered the next best thing.



both were lil above than average rappers nothing special.



but crooked and kendrick, wow prob the 2 best mcs on the west right now. lol overrated? u niggas are funny. so who isnt overrated and is popular that actually deserves it in the west?




props to anyone that names a better MC

@dude

I'm far from being "butt heart" I just think you niggas are stupid for always trying to pitt our artist against each other. Game is a gangsta raper, crooked I is a lyricist, kendrick lamar is an alternative hiphopper, nipsey is a throwback gangsta rapper, why do we have to pick one? Enjoy all their music, support them, and watch how quick the west blows up. Our shit is a failure cuz our fans are fuckin gossip girls. Stop always making it seem like we have to like 1 artist or the other

Cop section 80. Cop the red album. Cop follow me home. Cop beach cruiser. Cop million dollar story. Cop detox.

I'm not going to blindly cop albums just because thier west. I'd be shocked if red album isn't completely wack, like all of the singles have been. Detox sounds garbage by all accounts. Follow me home I will buy.

Game just sucks now. He doesn't have 50 to use as a crutch anymore.  Games a bipolar wierdo who hasn't made good music since doctors advocate. Get over it already like the rest of us. He had his run and made some dope songs but he's wack now. It happens. People just can't let go. The same people still clinging to snoop and dpg when they've been trash for a decade.

I think Hittman was extremely overrated

Kendrick is leagues ahead of Crooked I right now. I was a little disappointed in Section 80 tbh, after hearing people raving about it. But still, a decent album >>> no album any day. He's 3 albums ahead of Crooked.

Hittman was hella underrated...u ever heard his album with Aftermath? shit was better than anything Game has ever released, and nobody in the world currently knows who Hittman, is besides the peeps who post on this site.

^ hittman was boring. Dude couldn't stand out against xzibit, tha eastsidaz, kurupt, or mack 10 in that era and he had all dre beats behind him

Lol @ this dude saying red album will be trash because of the failed singles. The singles have all been attempts at radio success, he's held on to all the album bangers which is what he's known for anyway. Lax was dope. 3 dope albums and I'm supposed to "get over it"? Nah not making sense at all.

[OG Jaydc]

Lax was fucking wack.Same with all his mixtapes since lax

[Chamillitary Click]

It's easily Game & Nipsey.

Crooked I isn't overrated because he's obviously one of the dopest spitters on the West. He may not have the albums, but he has the material that proves that.

Kendrick just dropped a great album & people are showing it love due to how good it was.

Lil' B is an awful choice because nobody thinks he's good. He dropped an album that was better than expected. Didn't make it a "great album" & nobody is talking about him like he's going to make any sort of impact.

Game? He's considered by some, one of the better rappers we have in Hip Hop. He had a single "White Soft Porn" that you guys treated like porn before it came out & it was average as fuck. He's supposedly the "savior" of the West & his new album is shaping up for disaster because he wants to sell with the big boys. Going back to Aftermath was the stupidest thing he could of done.

Nipsey? I can honestly say, I don't think I've ever been seriously impressed with one song this guy has ever made. Yet, people act like he was next in line to take control of the West. He's got an average flow with below average, nothing special lyrics & it just makes for a total disappointment for somebody who was supposedly going to be really good.

[OG Jaydc]

I think certain people are so desperate for a westcoast artist to get big they co sign every mediocre gangsta rapper ie. Nipsey

Hittman easily held his own when rappin with the greats... shit, he wrote most of "2001", which is a classic. was King-T boring too? they had a similar style, which i think is dope as fuck.

I've still yet to see any confirmation of this actually being true. I heard he was back on Interscope, we see that he's back fucking with Dre, but I haven't seen anything official to validate the claim that he's Aftermath again. He may be fucking with the label but I'm not sure he's actually back on the roster.

All I'm saying is, he's being treated like a member to that label. His music is clearly leaning towards a more pop sounding Hip Hop. He's pulling a Dre/50 Cent, trying to find a hot single to catch the radio. If he was just doing his own thing, we'd probably already have R.E.D. by now.
