D-Nice copy and paste the shit you find relevant from the previous thread and move it over here
Chad's review of Ego Trippin has got alot of people talking so I decided to make this thread. And it is by no means a diss to anyone. I notice with west coast artists in particular, fans are most critical of when they try something new or go a new direction in their music they almost write them off. Snoop is a example. Snoop is at a catch 22 with most. When he does gangsta shit, it pleases some but others are like he is living in the past. When he does shit with Pharrell (and he does have some dope songs with him) people automatically write it off as pop shit. If it's with Dre it's not as good as the Chronic stuff they did.So I guess my question is why can't people allow musical growth in wc artists? I know alot of the music in the 90's was incredible material but it ain't the 90's anymore. Why not have a open ear to what rappers are trying to do. Now by all means there is alot of wack shit out there and I am not talking about the weaker material. Drop ya 2 cents.
Because West Coast fans are 13 to 19 years old.. they were too young to dig the G-Funk Era, so its new to them, so they are wondering why the artists cant drop shit like that anymore, because they didnt not have the chance to grow with the artist and get with his evolution. and In my opinion... the West Is just a coast on a map, thats it, to me music is music, as long as its dope in my ears, and shiit West Coast Music aint about Gangsta Rap only... Look at Murs, Look at Madlib all those are from the west and they actually make music that people can relate too and grow to , but doesnt get support because it aint GANGSTA enough

Drop ya 2 cents.well i think it's because of multiple things; fear for the unknown, judging too soon and perhaps that they pay too much attention to the "gangsta" image of snoop.

Ice Cube has evolved a bit in his career, not as much as Snoop as far as the different sounds and everything. He went through that whole Clubbin/Don Mega stage. Snoop can't seem to make a album anyone would like IMO. LOL!
D have you heard "Ego Trippin" and if so what are your opinions about it?

LOL!Thing is...like I said before Ice Cube & Snoop Dogg are two different rappers, but fans do not see that because they were both big and known as gangsta rappers, and for now i do not see Ice Cube as a gangsta rapper, he is more on some political stuff, but because of the beats he uses and the way he flows people still see it as Gangsta rapper, but give Ice Cube's lyrics to Kam or Mos Def or Common and U'll get another view of it. As for Snoop well he is The Rap Male version of Madonna...
