Is The West Coast making a comeback?

[d-nice]

Alot of vets came back and did albums this year. That is why I want to see what the new cats will do in 07. Gotta show the world the west is in good hands once the vets leave. BTW, I am really anticipating Maylay and Ya Boy right now. Those 2 are my favs out of the new artists at the moment.

hip hop will never die

G. Malone, Bishop Lamont, Omar Cruz, Ya Boy, Mistah F.A.B., The Federation, The Team, Lil Eazy-E. What more do you need from 2007?

[WestCoasta]

i think this year the west certainly seemed like a step forward than the previous year

ya to me it's the best year since 2001... after that there hasn't been too many good albums

but this year you got some big names dropping and it is a step forward

Good to hear people are going to give some new cats a listen. So many people putting the west in the grave man. It might take a little bit but we got some talent out here.

i probably could use some adjustment to listening new cats.....  i already few ..and ain't hyped about it...so far.

I am glad west coast artists are doing collabos with Game. If they would not work with him after all the disses and G-Unot madness, he would have been done. All these artists working with him on the west is showing steps towards more unity out here.

He should reach out to the new artists coming up also. It would mean alot to have Game on these albums even for the recognition it will bring. Game is very lucky that he is accepted on the west for the most part. It kinda would have been a catch 22. Our biggest new artist not accepted would have meant going back to find another artist, and then that would have meant the same ol rappers out here having to hold the torch. It's time for Crooked I to drop something also.

give it up


the more I think about the 'West Coast' place in music, I start to feel like a loser

take it for what it's worth, don't take it so seriously

I could give a fuck if Snoop Dogg and The Game flop

I'm tired of politics in music and fags everywhere hyping wack shit up

that goes for East Coast, South and West.... it's all garbage except for a select few here and there

i can kinda agree with you there... it makes me feel like im "waiting on pac to return" so to say...

more than that, i get pissed when i hear people say GAME BOUGHT THE WEST BACK, IMO, Game bought Game to the top, no one else... in order for game to put the west "back" on the map, IMO, he'd better drop some chronic/2001 shit, with 2 features on EVERY TRACK, needs 150% put into production, and a few more things....

IMO, west is right where it needs to be; among (us) fans..... who the fuck wants to buy a CD full of shit you hear all day on the radio?...

[d-nice]

^^^Definitely needs to be among the fans, but you got supposed "west coast fans" saying the west is dead. I agree there is some albums and artists following the same formula from the 90's, but there is some new and fresh music out here. But like I said, It is good to know that people still are supportive.

Nigga all i gotta say is MC Eiht - "STILL DRIVEBY MUSIC "  you will learn not to bet against the best sorry clowns !!!!!!! Geah Compton King is still comin Strapped !!!!!!!

[MediumL]

The early 90's was a time when the west was at it's best but at the momment there isn't much on offer. Compared to say the east which has a lot of old and new cats making good albums. I'd like to see what happens with hyphy but tbh it sounds to similar to crunk for it to really take off. Hope someone like Dre can come up with a new west coast sound...

[youngmessnucca]

man, fuck no, not right now at least.
