Westcoast Artists to play a major roll in 2007?

[shaydee]

Dr Dre - Detox will hopefully drop later this year.
The Game - Third album will be his best imo.
Bishop Lamont - Should take over the mixtape circuit like Game did in 2003.
B-Real - Known to be recording a solo album, with the right A&R direction he could be a major commercial success.

Surprise act:
THE LUNIZ - I think Yuk and Knum will come back, with a new label situation.


Please add to the list!

Damani
Ya Boy
G Malone
Bad Lucc

All fresh new talent that have great potential to have a fantastic year if things work out right, the attention is certainly building!

Can't forget about Mr. 50/50 Omar Cruz.

Indeed, my bad on that one, theres so many!

The Luniz and B-Real will never have a major role in hip-hop again.

Ya got guys like Bishop Lamont, Glasses Malone, Ya Boy, Omar Cruz, Clyde Carson, Mr. FAB, The Game. But a side from these rappers, most these fools don't know how to run the rap games and (sad to say) might never be major factors. Even the guys I just mentioned have a good chance of falling flat on there face.

I don't see 3rd tier artists like the above playing a major roll for the west, nobody outside of west coast forums have even heard of them. Omar Cruz needs a super hot single, otherwise he won't make an impact.

Lot's of people have heard about ya Boy and Glasses Malone. Their BWS connection really helped them.

Yea thats ignorance right there, damani created a hell of a buzz last year, g malone did too...the a&r's are paying attention and thats what matters right now...

So? Cali Iz Active didn't sell shit. Tha Dogg Pound will have to completly switch it up if they want to be major players again.

so they are two westcoast legends releasing ther last(hopefully not) album dumbass, thats why. whats cali iz active got to do with tht?

I agree with Ted is famous. If Daz Dillinger can't go gold with JD, then those 3rd tier acts won't make it because they bring nothing new just like how everyone was ranting and raving about Sly Boogie and Crooked I a few years ago. They will never play a major roll because they just can;t cut it with the 1st (Snoop, 2Pac, Dre, Game, Cube) and 2nd (Xzibit, E-40) tier. They may have a buzz in Califnornia, but nowhere else. Ras Kass may make a come back. I was hoping that Kurupt would sign to a major. Too Short may make a surprise single. There is nobody else worth mentioning, really!

B-Real could follow up success with the D12 record. cmon, hes Dr Greenthumb!

CIA flopped hard, so did Daz's album. I just don't think Tha Dogg Pound can releasea another successful album. Them being West Coast legends isn't relevent to the rest of the world.

i didnt know the thread meant the whole world, thought it was just west coast
