That's really a hard choice here, but I gotta say that the you've displayed the most reasonable (and probably only) paths that will be taken, production wise, in the future.I agree that the west needs to stop depending on Dre, but if Detox does come out, I'm almost certain that it will have some impact on the West Coast sound.What I WANT is the west to have a totally new sound, something unheard, doesn't matter if it relies on samples or creativity.I really can't judge hyphy, cause I haven't been paying much attention to it, but the most reasonable thing to say is that the new west sound will evolve from Hyphy or it will be like #5 (which I'm voting for)
I went with number 5: "not G-Funk, but a strong West Coast sound combined with elements from other coasts". Bishop Lamont's "Up & Down"-beat is a nice example of what I mean: it has a clear West Coast vibe but it's far from G-Funk. Storch can come up with some really nice beats if he wants to.On the other hand, I like what New West producers like Dem Jointz or Dae One are doing, but their sound reminds me of "G-Funk with a twist". I'm feeling it, but it just doesn't do it for me anymore. In my opinion, music should always develop. G-Funk was the sound from the 90s, and if we wanna hear that sound, then we can listen to those albums (Foesum, The Twinz, etc...). As for now, the West really needs something different.That beat on the last Relativez album (I think the song is called "Gangsta". It was the last song, the one with Mitchy Slick & Young Hootie) was pretty banging too! If the West Coast's new sound would sound like Storch's latest beats and that "Gangsta" song, I'd be extremely satisfied.Good topic btw.
The whole Trauma album was #1...The Westcoast sound should adapt the sound from that album. The shit was someting new and fresh but still had lots of G-Funk and sounded very 'westcoast'
