Your favorite 2011 rap album from the west coast
« on: December 13, 2011, 02:13:47 AM »
Now that there are only two and a half weeks left this year, it's time to ask the obligatory qquestion thats asked at the end of every year: Which is your favorite album from the west coast in 2011?

I'd also like to have a discussion going, so it would be nice, if you could drop a comment when you have voted and why you have voted that particular record. If it's an album not on this list, then tell us why it deserves to be on there.

My choice would clearly be Kendrick Lamar's "Section.80". He is what the west coast needed, hungry, talented, ambitious and he actually drops a message. The beats on Section.80 reach from mellow and laid-back to modern and pop-ish flavored cuts as well as jazz-funk and old school sounding songs. His delivery and style is the best I have heard in a long time. Although he is a lot different and I don't want to compare him, he reminds me a lot of Tupac in some ways. He stands out and seems to have his own view of things and doesn't bother with regular rapper's dreams. So to me, Section.80 deserves the title "Best West Coast Rap Album 2011".

I liked the DJ Quik albums and the new music from Terrace Martin. Doggumentary was cool as well... There's an album I can't wait to hear and that is, not west coast though, Common's new album. Everything he dropped so far is really tight, so I'm really looking forward to that one :)

Section80, rap album of the year. I have enjoyed other album that are on the list as well.

dude that describes all but 5 names on this list. If he's going to list 15 other anonymous monotone underground rappers, he might as well include the ones I like, right? Let me guess though, you thought Snoop or Game had the best album of the year, since those are the only ones people were talking about outside of the internet.
