All these new WC rappers are nothing....

[Bch]

^^

what do you like about sampling so much?? if you still like it.. go live on dj premier, madlib, kanye west, alchemist, havoc those guys are still heavy sample based producers

music now is much better produced and engineered frequency wise , and effects also that era of gangsta rap had its time .. now everythings evolved so much .. about the only thing i dislike about this era is the simplicity of the lyrical content .. cuz i can still remember bumpin the wake up show, and kurupt calling out cappadonna on stage at the unity show when wu tang came out here back in the 90s way before the internet era..  but blame JAY Z he started that.. his lyrical shit was never tight however his flow and subject matter got him where hes at right now

[Elano]

also that era of gangsta rap had its time .. now everythings evolved so much

sure  ......and all these new rappers are CRISTIAN rappers

[Bch]

lol oh so u wanna hear that bang bang bang im from sony lap top compton crip ill stab you with a spoon! shit

thats coo i had enough of that shit personally i just wanna hear good muzik with talent of course.. theres plenty of artist infact the market is so oversaturated with gangsta rap ever since 2pac its just boring now unless u have a multi-dimensional artist like crooked i

[Elano]

you talk about these new rappers like they're different.....when the truth is they aren't

[dubscheisty]

back then u could sample like a mufuka now you gotta replay shit new cats ain't talkin nuttin' these days back then there was alot of shit to talk ya dig

[Bch]

there is more emphasis on word play now elano then there was back then thats from an RAP SINGERS prespective and im not just speaking on NEW west rappers im saying in GENERAL .. thats how rap stuff has evolved... with a double time spit/ inheriting a dirty south country tone and slang even if you grew up in the city and didnt talk like that or werent from around there! shit like that

[smegma]

What do you think created this enviornment though? A lot of the old stuff and old ways of thinking. Re-building after destruction is never easy and the news guys don't have it easy.   

A lot of these 'new' guys bring nothing new to the table. That's not even so bad, but it is bad when 95% of em suck. You can say they don't have it easy, but that's none of the audience business. Step your game up!

Unlike some people here (I am aiming at nobody), I don't really care about the gangsterism of the lyrics, but I would like to hear some melodic instrumentals again, which actually occurs somes time but not too often.

And a lot of new WC cats are getting big, from the top of my head: Young Maylay, Shade Sheist, Problem...

[D-Stress]

agreed.

[cStyle]

the problem with these new cats is they dont have this signature westcoast sound to them they beats sound like eastcoast and downsouth ripoffs cuz evrybody too hard tryin to go platinum and gold and focusin on makin records that appeal to a brighter audience, but thats bullshit if u ask me!! I say go back to makin these dope ass records for what the westcoast is known for havin fun havin a good time in the studio and knock these records out which appeal to the westcoastfans cuz im 100 % sure if u knock out a bangin ass record with nothing but bangers on there which could be considered a classic people will automatically buy it cuz these fans love these classics!!! U dont even need a fuckin video on mtv cuz the record promotes hisself via word of mouth! U wont do these crazy numbers in the first weeks thats logical but i think on the long run good records will never be forgotten and people still buy them after years so...just my 2 cents

i agree 200% with you.
for example....the G FUNK is a west coast sound,not the only one but one of the biggest styles of the west coast, why is "dead" now ?
even warren g is far from that sound now (and his new song,'virgin',is wack). I don't know why there isn't an evolution of this genre 

[MY FIRST LOVE WAS HIP HOP]

well, we have not seen one of these new west rappers blow up as of yet, i wonder who will be the first? if any.. Of course, we have to define blow up.

[daggo]

few artists like Scrooge, Holy-D or Jayman still stick to that former sound I love but the main releases today aren't original enough IMO, like G-Funk and Gangsta from the 90s were ... That's why I can't listen to the late Westcoast music. Comparing Eastcoast & Westcoast raps, I'd say Eastcoast hiphop today is closer to the Golden Era Flavor than Westcoast hiphop is ( listen to the last KRS One LP, it's off the hook or even Ghostface Killah... awesome )
peace
