You made it! Huge thanks to everyone who has joined us daily over the last 2 weeks for the 2004 DubCNN.com forums (DubCC.com) Top 100 West Coast Songs Of All Time!
Yesterday we took you through 11-20 with tracks from N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, Eazy E, Xzibit, Above The Law and Tha Dogg Pound.
The list – as with all lists no matter how democratic – was controversial and divided opinion not only on DubCC but to many online. The work to compile the list was led by DJ R-Tistic who has gone on to create incredible mixes for DubCNN including the iconic “Timeline.” The Top 100 really is a who’s who from across the decades with classic tracks you all know, to some lesser heralded cuts that you need to be exposed to!
We finish today with the Top 10 of the 2004 list! The Top 10 features indisputable classics – and also our only tied votes of the entire Top 100! Artists who made the Top 10 are some of the most successful artists from the last 3 decades of West Coast Hip-Hop! See below for tracks from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, 2Pac, Westside Connection, Luniz, DJ Quik and Ice Cube.

You can now head to DubCC and the original 2004 thread with all the comments on the list! Thanks for sticking with us over the last couple of weeks – who’s ready to compile an update 2014 list?
nice list of 100 songs … but I’m surprised to not see any E-40 or Too short song … strange.
Thanks for the feedback! They do though, sprinkle me and getting it both make the list!
Y’all are trippin’. No “Colors” by Ice-T? No “Jackin’ 4 Beats” by Cube? No Rodney O & Joe Cooley at all? And why is “How I Could Just Kill A Man” so far down? That’s top ten material. I don’t remember seeing “Pistol-grip Pump” either. No “Freaky Tales” and/or “Dope Fiend Beat”? Y’all could’ve dropped a few of those Xzibit songs and Dre songs. “Bang Bang” and “Some L.A. Niggaz” aren’t even top ten on the Chronic 2001. It seemed like this list was rushed or someone just said fuck it towards the end.
Hey Issac, the list was compiled by vote by members of the forum – wasn’t rushed or decided by one person it was covered by hundreds of peoples votes. We agree though it definitely missed some classics – and over rated some tracks, but remember this was done over 10 years ago in 2004 and some tracks that seemed fresh then haven’t aged well – so it’s indicative of its time! We’re planning to do a new one vote-able on the site so hopefully you’ll take part!
