Bad Year for tha West

[Tha Psycho Hustla]

the west aint the same.
the classic west coast sound is dead.
the whole hip-hop is on some down-south/or shake ya ass in tha club shit.

[Iliveinthefuture]

the west coast won't be on top until all these delusional ass west coast fans magically disappear

I gotta agree to that title thread, it was a bad year compares to 2006 and 2006 was a bad year compares to 2005 etc... so I guess 2008 gonna be even worst...
At least there is a few dozen acceptable albums this year, new Mess, Quinn comp, B.A., B-Legit, XL Middleton are coming... lets see

This hasn't been a bad year at all for the West Coast.  This will be the year you'll remember down the line where all the future big time artists were just coming up.  This is actually a real exicting time for the West Coast, with all this new talent finally finding their traction and getting ready to take over.  Thank God we've got street albums to tide us over, and there have been plenty of excellent ones that have dropped throughout the year.

Noth much came out this year so in 08 they have to prove themselves. Otherwise the West will just fase back into the darkness.

 Ive been trying to get cats from this forum to do an interview with me, but I guess since were not being talked about on every site any longer, Im OLD news, and that's the problem with the WEST COAST SITUATION. I was one of the first artist with something cracking I ever saw post here. There isnt any genuine luv for the artists or the coast, and Im talking about from those who r suppose to be SUPPORTING THIS SHIT!! I still view the various sites all the time & its always the same shit, "he's the shit", "he aint shit", "he dont keep it real" ALL THAT BULLSHIT!! that's the problem WE R 2 FUCKING DIVIDED. I feel its okay to have your favorite but support all of us. I remember when people swore IV LIFE RECORDS was going to bring the coast back, I also heard variuos artists including myself stating theyre gonna bring the coast back. BUT the truth of the matter is it's gonna TAKE THE "WESTCOAST" TO BRING BACK THE "WESTCOAST" I mean everybody, web sites, internet heads, radio personalities, fans,veteran west coast artists, New West artists, etc. all of us, the power has always been in the people, and thats not just with rap, thats with "ANYTHING", UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL ALL 4 ONE & ONE 4 ALL!!  BUT maybe thats to much like right, Ive also learned that most people have a bad habbit of just being FUCKING STUPID!! Im a LEADER, Ive always been, but I like to wait & see what muthafuckas r really gone do, but Ive been quiet fucking long enough.

  I think their's been genuine west coast love on this site. You should drop some more music instead of an interview... Just my opinion.

what do ya'll mean by saying its a bad year for the westcoast. How do you judge a bad year? sales and radio spins yeah it was a terrible year for the westcoast but music wise. HEEEEEELL NO!!! I enjoyed good music as usual from the westcoast this year. Snoop, Bishop, G.malone,Taje, Terrance Martin, Madlib, Meech Wells, Daz, Crooked I, WC, Cube, Superfly etc.

The westcoast had a great year music wise but if you consider sales and radio spins then yeah the west lost.

Daz sells 2,000 copies in 2 weeks not a good look

Who are you talking about? Taje? Stix? Crooked I?

NONE of these so called "New West" rappers will ever blow up. Why? Because there is absolutely nothing marketable about them. Nothing.
