West Coast tracks you didn't expect to hear in the club
« on: February 22, 2007, 04:16:42 AM »
About a week ago I was out with a group of friends at this night club in Edinburgh, Scotland. I headed upstairs to the Hip-Hop floor to hear what tracks they were playing, mainly expecting to hear the same ol' same. Suddenly, of all the tracks, the DJ throws on Sly Boogy's "It's Nuthin'." I was completely shocked, since the track is hardly well known here and Sly's far from a household name - particularly where I'm from. If they were going to play some West Coast rap, I would have predicted the usual suspects: Dre, Snoop, 2pac, Ice Cube, and at a stretch Tha Dogg Pound. Hearing "It's Nothin" for a change had me totally hyped, and anticipating some Ras Kass or something. Alas, 'twas not to be since after that they went back to the standard tracks.

Anyone had any other experiences like this where you've heard a DJ spin a West Coast track that you totally didn't think would get club play?

Yeah, I guess it's a matter of location. Kurupt and Dre I would expect, but I wouldn't anticipate hearing the others a lot.

I remember people saying Hi-C and Suga Free's "Say Woop" got a cult following in UK clubs.

I'm at work at the moment, but I'm sure someone will be kind enough to do the honours...?

Damn, that is suprising, and you know that is a great track.

I was very surprised when I heard "Black Mercedes" at a club here in Germany. It made me very happy to hear it in a club.

Any westcoast track, the clubs where i live hardly play any hip hop so hearing california or regulate is rare and a nice surprise.
