Adding to that...it's funny how we feel "West Coast music" should sound, and how we define it. If you wanna be technical and follow music.....the so-called "West Coast sound" that most of us are familiar with was HEAVILY influenced by 70s n 80s Midwest, South, and East Coast funk, and aside from Sly Stone, there weren't many west coast artists who contributed to that sound...it was Roger n Zapp (Ohio), George Clinton n Parliament (Jersey), Ohio Players (Ohio), Isley Bros (Ohio), James Brown (somewhere in the south I think), and the list goes on. So even our sound is not truly west coast as far as music is concerned, but only for what we have made it become in rap.
I aint no big fan of it and especially not now when its tha new 'trend'. I like sum artists from tha bay but I've been fans of them since they hit tha scene example Spice 1, Yukmouth, B Legit etc.
