Happy Father’s Day to all dads out there!
We’ve seen a few Hip-Hop Father’s day lists over the past week – most notably HHDX and AHH – but we felt a few Westcoast representations had been missed.
As this is DubCNN and westcoast is what we do, we’ve compiled a solely West Coast focused list of Fathers Day or “Records about fathers” – some positive, some negative – no matter the content, all are worth a listen!
Tupac and Xzibit both feature twice, with other appearances coming from Snoop Dogg, Blu & Exile, Double Vision, The Game, Busta Rhymes, DJ Quik, Suga Free, Aloe Blacc and Mista Cane.
Below you can see the tracklist and some details about each track!
