THE REASON WHY THE SOUTH IS ON TOP AND NOT THE WEST or EAST

[Sanford - V. President of the Dangerous Crew Movement]

its because the south makes PARTY MUSIC..ru fucking kidding me? This the LONE Reason, bitches and dudes will buy this shit. Aint no bitch coppin the Rass Kass cd, but a bitch will by Young Joc cuz ITS GOIN DOWN

exactly.  bitches be goin crazy over that shit.

a homie i think i pretty much agree with you, especially since u emphasized not bringing back the old sound, because it aint about bringing back nothing. when you hear some southern hip hop or east coast hip hop, even though any given artist may try out different sounds in the interest of being more "universal", overall they still have a sound to them. some of it lies in the production and sonic aspect and some of it lies in the overall swagger of the artist themselves. we've been lost out here for so long that we dont have a sound anymore, we know that the old sound aint working but we dont know where to go with it for the future, so the west coast doesnt have a sound right now. my personal feeling is that our sound has traditionally been funk-based (NOT G-FUNK, JUST FUNK) so i think that wherever we take it in the future should be a new evolution of funk, thats what were best at, thats whats in our blood, and trying to come out with this "universal sound" aint gonna cut it because we wont sound natural doing it until we've established our own defining sound.



XL, i feel what you saying!!

But honestly what will the new evolotion of funk sound like???
It's gotta be head snapping, for sure!!!

But some how i doubt this will happen....!!
Only very few artis are doing Funk..and when they do, it sounds a little bit like  94/95..which is not bad, it's smooth....but still the same!!


Peace!
laced Out!

exactly. The west coast g funk was the party music of the 90's, it's the same thing then as now. Go back to '95 and try playing Illmatic or Cuban Linx when you have chicks in the car and see the reaction you get. Then play Doggystyle and see the reaction you get.

It's the same thing. The south makes party music, the chicks eat it up and the fellas like it because the chicks like it. It's basically the same thing that 2pac told Biggie, make music for the chicks and the guys will follow, more or less.

real spit, couildnt have sait it better

the WEST IS PARTY MUSIC!!!  It always has been.  Its that when u play a south song u know what ur getting.  U know its gonna have alot of bass and its gonna have those 808's.  No matter what artist it is, as long as its from the south.

If MTV plays one song wit that bass and 808 and then theres another song from somebody else wit bass and those 808 and people are liking it, then they find more of the same sound and then everybody around the country is listening to it.

If MTV plays lets say Bishop Lamont and people like it and then play another person from the west like Rass Kass, they dont have the same sound so Bishop Lamont can blow up and become the next "Game".  While Rass Kass never blows up and people dont really care for him and his music and sound.

Game is a perfect example.  He is from the west.  He blew up.  But he doesnt really have a sound.  So no one else from the West blew up.  So its not a whole movement.

OMAR CRUZ can be what brings the westcoast back.  Because he is bringing a whole new sound to the table.  Hes bringing a movement.  Hes bringing those beats wit that latin sound so there unique.  Hes bringing a bunch of Latino Rappers together and bringing that Latino sound to the table.
He is the only one wit a chance to bring the westcoast back other then Dre

[Big_Ron]

All I have to say is that the west and south should come together and do something like that "SouthWest Riders" compilation that E40 had put out.

the south will be dominatin' till people get tired of the shit. G funk gangsta rap tired the public, eminem's shocking antics tired the public....I hate to say it but it's the slightly more subtle poppy approach like jay z and 50 that has longevity to it(as far as commercial appeal). it'll happen, like anything else

But seriously, are Dre's beat Westcoast??
I refering to the more recent ones???
IMO, i think Dre's beat are non-coastal.(not to say,they are not good,they are really dope)..folks will always refer to it as "west-coast" cuz Dre is from Compton

When folks talk about westcoast music..only two things come to mind IMO, **Funk/G-Funk* or *Dr Dre*

Dre's beats are Westcoast.  from Westside story to snoops imagine.
It has that westcoast sound because of the pianos and the strings which is what alot of westcoast rappers use.

live instrumentation in general is a more west coast thing, east coast production at its best flips a few good samples together a la premier/rza
or some good midi shit LOL a la got urself a gun.

Cool!
Well i've always felt that Westcoast Music was more based around live instruments!!

As for Dre, think he is trying to change the sound of Westcoast music, until he finds something unique!!!

Just as long as he keeps the bass line phat, am gon bump it!!!
Bass lines to me are an indication of Westcoast music..esp when they have that smooth subtley bounce to it!!!
a mixture of live bass & synth Bass!!!!
