I like how everyone  who agrees with this doesn't see that Dre and Snoop still sell loads and loads of albums... just cause the source, xxl, mtv, bet, dont give a shit, doesn't mean the fans dont, we could give a fuck about what they think... and anyone who thinks the east is totally different than the west is stupid... musically yes, but on subject matter, hell no... the top eastcoast rappers right now, today, at this very minute are singing "oh boy" (camron) , "i get high" (styles) , and "gangsta lovin" (eve, alicia)..... and let me tell you all something... for all you "im waiting for crooked-i to blow up" people... he will be rapping about the same damn shit, so don't even go on about subject matter because it's not just the west, but RAP IN GENERAL...  check this

Top 10 Rap Hits
1. Hot In Herre - Nelly
2. I Need A Girl pt. 2 - P Diddy
3. Down 4 U - Murder Inc
4. Oh Boy - Cam'ron
5. Dilemma - Nelly
6. Still Fly - Big Tymers
7. Nothin - N.O.R.E.
8. Grindin - The Clipse
9. Move Bitch - Ludacrise
10. Gangsta Love - Eve

Not one Westcoast artist on that list or in the top 20, but all those songs include some content like this...

"I'm a gangbanger, I smoke weed, fuck bitches, pimp hoes"

i totally agree....i've started a couple threads before saying the west coast is in a slump or is washed up...anyway...the west is still living of the old death row glory days...the only ones that can sell any units is snoop, dre, xz(because of dre production, 2pac)...other than that...no one has any hits or sells hardly any records....its really sad cause there are a lot of great upcoming west coast talent...roscoe, crooked i, knoc, ...and every one would rather buy another average snoop dogg cd...who is way past his prime!

You got a point, but I dont think the lyrics are the reason that you dont have any West Coast Rappers on TV except for 2pac/snoop/dre/xzibit. i mean you got young eAst coast rappers like Freeway, Beanie Sigel, cam'ron ja rule nelly etc etc, their lyrics arent better but they do commercial music in my eyes with Radio Friendly beatz and thats the reason they get airplay

I agree 100%.  the whole "I'm a gangbanger, I smoke weed, fuck bitches, pimp hoes, and I love my mama" routine is played out.  The west coast is flat out redundant now.  The Snoop/Dre we are hearing now is the same shit we heard 10 years ago when you get down to it.  It's the same sound.  This is why The Source, XXL, Vibe, etc. don't show love towards the West Coast.  This is why MTV and BET don't play as many west coast videos.  The Snoop/Dre act is stale.  The new west coast artist is an artist who can rock the mic and rock a party.  The west coast needs a facelift in the next year or so, starting with Snoop and Dre retiring so that the new crop of mc's aren't being held back so Snoop and Dre can hog the spotlight.  

Xzibit, Rass Kass, Crooked I, Techniec, Bad Azz, Eastwood, Roscoe, E-White, Soopafly, Spider Loc, Shade Sheist, Knoc-Turn'al, etc. need to force Snoop and Dre into retirement.  They bring a new sound to the west, and hopefully new producers can step up as well, because the sound is starting to get played out as well.

That's fo sho. Dre produced a remix of a rolling stone song n calles himself a gangsta. :D

Every dre beat sounds like forget about dre.
The problem is that for many people dre seems to be "the westcoast". Same wit feminem.

But thats another story.

I share the opinion of ma man gangsta t, the west will never become boring. That's it
