We as west coast fans also need to stop knockin our artists for "their sound". You know why the south sells? Because they did not compromise their sound. They kept it hood and country with the slang and beats. I people love it now.
You got people wearing chucks and khakis, using west coast producers and c walkin in they videos (Puff) and they aint even from the west, so that arguement that people do not want or like west coast music is bs. We love Fred Wreck and the dude was nominated along with WSC for Gangsta Nation, but in the same breath we are like "oh nobody around the usa is gonna listen to Fred, or Battlecat or whoever makes beats out here. So what does Fred do? Make a hit with G-Unit on they soundtrack that is a smash AROUND THE COUNTRY! Battlecat? Gangsta Boogie, G'D Up. Those were big songs for Mack and the Eastsidaz. We got some serious heat on the boards and on the mic yall. Support it or don't listen to it.

Just like the West's G-Funk was hot in the mid-90s. But the South ain't gonna be on top forever. A few years from now, ain't nobody gonna be checking for Lil Jon, Three-6, Young Jeezy, and all these other country niggas cause they're all putting out the same bullshit over and over.So don't act like the West needs to follow the South's example, cause if the South keeps doing what the West was doing 10 years ago, then they're gonna be in the same position we're in right now.Quote from: d-nice on June 19, 2006, 02:26:10 PMYou got people wearing chucks and khakis, using west coast producers and c walkin in they videos (Puff) and they aint even from the west, so that arguement that people do not want or like west coast music is bs.

It was the closet the West has come to a resurgence with Snoop, Tha Eastsidaz, WC, and Xzibit popularizing the dance, but it was just another trend that was over as soon as it had begun. You're behind the times if you think anyone still gives a shit about the C-walk now except the niggas who are rip riding in L.A.Just face it - the West is dead and it's gonna stay dead as long as cats like you demand that West Coast rappers only put out the same bullshit music over and over. The West needs to be more like the East, not like the South or the Midwest - it needs to innovate and give people a reason that it's still relevent. But it's just not doing it right now.
I understand that C-walkin died, but you missed my whole point. If the trends and the music is so "dead" then why do you have so many people copying it (Dipset). It must be something about the trends and the music people like or want to emulate.
Where in my opinion did I say they need to stay the same. I said producers like Fred and Battlecat continue to put out hot music. They are west coast producers right? You can be innovative and still be from the west. I really don't give a fuck whether or not people think it is dope or not. That is a opinion at the end of the day. DJ Quik BEEN dropping dope shit. Planet Asia, Balance, Crook, Ras, the list goes on and on. The west aint just about Gangsta Rap or hyphy, but they get the mainstream attention. We have as diverse a music culture as any coast.
What you want, are rappers to sound like the east and the south now. I agree with you on the music needs to be innovative and grow, but if there are artists out there that are doing it would you recognize it. Because I see quite a few. They may not be mainstream and people aint really checkin for it.
Sittin' On 23'zIt's Craccin All NightFaknass HoesDon't Sweat ItMake Dat Pussy PopNeva should've made tha album.............after my second listen i'm feeling tha album a lil' more but it's a disappointment to be honestWhat the hell are you talking about ? Those are the best track imo.Yayos album >>> this Snoop is the shit though. He is on fire lately
Why the fuck can mc's from NY rap on "Premier" or "Pete Rock" type of beats & get away wit it without anyone calling their shit outdated or saying they should work wit artists like Diddy but everytime a dude from the westcoast does a G-Funk track y'all say he's stuck in the past or should make more mainstream sounding tracks???
