Does The Game represent Westcoast Rap?

The game is the future of westcoast 'mainstream' rap. Do you think that he will be looked at as a california rapper or another member of g-unit?

After he comes out and blows up and leaves G-Unit alone, they'll see him as a California rapper

He definitely reps the West Coast constantly in his songs (whether he talks about lolo's, the gang scene or khakis and Chucks, etc..), but I see it like this:
Once he's blown up, he'll have to key to the door. Meaning: he'll be in the position to let his collaborations be known. For example, if he should collaborate with other West Coast cats, other people will check those songs out ("cause he's a tight MC"), and at the same time, they'll get to hear the featured rapper too, and maybe finally realise that the West DOES have talent.

But anyway, yeah, I think he's doing a good job in representing the West.
Can't wait till January 18th to finally cop that shit...

well, there's no doubting that his success right now is due to the fact he is with g-unit. I think if he wants to have a good career he will want to continue to work with them and not pull away. That's just me.

Most likely he'll be fucking with g-unit too much after he blows up, so he might not exactly bring the entire west back on the map as in showcasing new artists etc.

Everyone thinks of Young Buck as a member of G-Unit before a southern rapper, I think its the same thing with Game. Also look at who G-units fans are, little teenage kids from the suburbs, they're gonna buy anything with G-Units name on it regardlessof where the artist is from...

Yea, i get the same reaction from people, but when I say he's from cali..they're like "yea, finally, some new westcoast shit!"...well, thats cause i do live on the westcoast...as far west as you can in Canada.

but i've been listening to game for about 2 years now...dude's repped the west as best as he can...ppl in the west are mad cause it's not their favorite artist who's gonna blow up..i bet if he wasn't part of G-Unit and JUST with Dre, then ppl in the west would give him more support...but i say fuck who he's with...if his songs are dope, thats all that matters..dont give a shit what kind of flow he has if it's not wack

the only reason he is popular and is going to blow up is cause he rolls with G-Unit and has Dre's support.  He is a cool rapper and all, but when it comes down to straight how you sound on record, there is nothing at all about him that stands out from a hundred or more other westcoast rappers.  I see him going multi-plat and sticking around with G-Unit and Dre.  and why wouldn't he?  I don't think too many people necasarilly care where you are from nowadays, as more opposed to who you are affiliated with.  there is a good chance that if 50 cent woulda chosen Devin, Crooked I, and E-A-ski as his G-Unit that they would be huge too.
