West coast album of the year so far?

[dubsmith_nz]

Should include Tyler The Creator up on that list even tho most of the heads on here dont like the kid but he's one of the biggest la rappers to make it without the nwa tree branch invovled

For real, one of the biggest west coast albums this year. I'd go with kendrick though, still getting the most burn from me

[Deuce-Deuce]

I dont really wanna turn this thread into a RED album discussion (there are enough as it is), but overall it doesn't sound like a West Coast album, theres a couple west coast tracks but it doesn't have a West Coast sound to it as a whole.
And you think it should be classed West Coast beacuse of the features?
5 West Coast features (Actually 4, I wouldnt class Snoop as a feature) but how many non West Coast features? Wayne, Drake, Rick Ross, Beans, Young Jeezy, Wale. Thats less West Coast features. But as I said its how it sounds overall.

It doesn't matter what kinda sound the album has or what features it has. It's still a West Coast release.

So Ice-T's Cop Killer is West Coast?
or are gonna excuse that one because its not a solo record

[Blood$]

dammit I forgot Tyler too 

overall that album was ok, but it had some of my favorite songs of this year (ex: "Golden")

[D-TalkX]

Soopafly - Best Kept Secret....easily

And if that's not a "West Coast" release, i don't know what is....He's a West Coast artist and that CD bangs hard.

[Blood$]

I need to hear both D.A.Z. and Best Kept Secret lol

Ice-T represents the West Coast and he's considered West Coast, even though he was born in New Jersey. It don't matter what sound albums have if they are released by an artist from the West Coast, they are West Coast releases.

It's a toss-up between Kendrick and Game. Q is right behind them, that "Setbacks" surprised the hell out of me.

Also enjoyed Quik's, Ab-Soul's, and that's about it.

I also don't understand how Tyler, The Creator can't be mentioned on this. It's like as soon as someone from the Coast gets mainstream recognition on this forum, they forget about them and/or hate on them (see Game and Tyler).

[Funkstradamus]

1. Soopafly
2. Snoop Dogg
3. DJ Quik
4. Daz
5. WC

I don't anticipate anything coming out and changing my Top 5 except maybe that 1st Generation if that ever drops
