I listened to Eazy and X so much I think I know they whole catalogue by heart....Then its just NWA, King T, Ice T, Snoop, Dre etc etc and every once in a while I try with the newer cats The Game, Lil Eazy, Lil Rob...lol thanx for the overview
Well, pretty much the only two rappers on the West Coast who have done anything worth a shit since the 90s' are both pictured in your profile, so I assume you must be pretty familiar with them.Otherwise, it's just a lotta washed-up gangsta veterans trying to convince the world they're still relevent (like they're still Crippin' at age 40), mixed with some backpackers and alternative rappers who are never gonna get touched by the majors in a million years. In that respect, I'd say you're pretty much caught up. Welcome to the West.

That would pretty much catch you up on the 90s'. After that, not a whole lot of newer artists that are any good, except maybe Jayo Felony.
Was Westside Connection's first album any good? I got Terrorist Threats.

What about Quik? I only heard him on featured tracks and I heard some of his beats...what about albums?
