Basically.

Game got a lil help from 50. Snoop got back in the picture with the PIMP remix. Lil Jon is helping E-40 out.

Those are three rappers from the West that get their shine right now. No, the West isn't back.

Exactly. He brought some shine on cats like glasses, bishop and lil eazy. Regardless if you argue that they would have made it on there own Game opened the door for them. Bishop wouldn't have gotten signed to aftermath and glasses wouldn't have gotten 1.7 million :o to sign with sony and Game working with lil e only boosted his fame. But after Game's album came out people were buzzing about the west coast. And you can tell by how the underground is moving right now. However, after Game's album there wasn't really much. Quick had a great album which didn't sell to well, Mack 10 flopped, I'll not even mention DPG. Things kind of fell a little. But a lot of beef has been setteled, people are willing to colaborte a little more and now it's the west's oppurtunity. Game didn't bring the west back, it takes more then one person, but he is the starting force on it being brought back (if it does).

I thought Game would have at least opened doors for LA artists but Warren G, QUik, Mack 10, DPG, Kurupt all did horribly and they usually sell alot more. And as for the Bay, nobody is pushing units. E-40 has the chance and by actually putting rappers from his region on his album ( unlike The Game ), he is opening doors for guys like Keak da Sneak, Federation & Turf Talk. Im an optimist but I really think MyBlockTheBay will help jumpstart sales for 06. Let's see how well Balance does on an independent this week, and we will have an idea

Game did his part. He created a buzz, put the spotlight on the left coast, and pushed units. It's not his fault none of these other fools capitalized on it.

He gave record labels faith that a West Coast Gangster rapper could move units.

yeah, you need many artist sheading lights on the west, game just put a spot light on la, and e-40 is trying to do the same thing, but no one is being able to step into the spotlight

Dude, yall just dont pay attention because alotta of you are to busy paying attention to certain people. check hip hop connection out in the UK, (For those in the Area) I get love all over the world, and I aint go front, Game made westcoast hip hop a viable commodity on a world wide basis, regardless of who helped him. I dont advertise my business cus its nobody's concern outside of me and my circle, but Ive met with 2 major labels over the past month, and Im just weighing my options now. A lot of this attention is due to dude making the noise he did

How did game bring teh west back?I think he helped,But if u look at the rap game,the west been  doing  a lil something on and off,shit both of the east siders album went plat,and they didnt have 2 kiss nobody ass and dickride the eastcoast 2 do it,they was on 106 n park,snoop dogg been on the count down every since 106 n park came out,Crooked i will make a mark in the rap game if he ever drop,and crooked a make the west look good,BUt Game helped,,just like the eastsiders helped,Now tray d is tight as fuck,way underrated,But back 2 the subject,game did the same shit snoop been doing since forever,so how game bring the west back when snoop been keeping the west in the game and holding the west down every since he came out,game was show and proof that dr dre can take anybody with no skillz at all and make them a star,game skillz is a lil bit better now tho,
