But by removing the bias....I would say that the younger crowd just doesn't get into these true west coast songs as much as they may to "Laffy taffy"...but there have been many west coast songs that have been just as catchy as Laffy Taffy, without being as watered down. But i'ts just a domino effect....if everything on radio the last few years did sound like "Cali is active" then the younger crowd would like it. The young crowd basically likes whatever they hear, and that's what molds their preferred style.

Even though i dont think D4L had that much success to be a proper comparison, i'll still use them as an example.Back in 1992- rap was considered 'black music'.. It was music we put out to express our ideas and our feelings of the time. We had civil injustices, police brutality, the riots... Thats why The Chronic was good. It was a soundtrack to the street. They were played on our radio stations. Remember, MTV and VH1 didn't play rap at first. It was mostly BET..Nowadays, rap is not considered 'black music' anymore. Theres so much multi-cultural love of rap music. So nowadays you got the successful rappers diversifying their content to appeal to the mass crowds.. Thats why D4L get so much play on the radio rather than Daz who seems to be stuck in 1992.So for us older fans who still remember what rap used to stand for, we get upset when we hear these fake-sellout songs that is just trying to appeal to the masses with simple beats and catchy phrases. And like the guy said before you, this happens to ALL genres of music.
