I think that a lot (NOT nearly all) of them are boring, personally.

Defari is GREAT and the best of those u listed

also the visionaries are insane

but the first defari cd is a classic IMO

Everybody gotta love Lootpack. Damn, Madlib is the man! Hands down.

I like both, gangsta & non-gangsta [sounds terrible]. I love DPGC, but I can't forget on Stones Throw, etc. Murs & Slug are good dudes too. Shit's kinda hard:

i think the artists mentioned, just keep spittin some battle rhymes and rap about NOTHING.no meaningful song with point/or story in it, so there nothing like "dance with the devil".all they do is talkin about how dope they are.

How do you mean it? You speak about ''non-gangsta'' rappers or gangsta rappers?

BLU & EXILE. I interviewed Talib Kweli yesterday and when I asked him about West Coast cats first thing he said (aside from Strong Arm Steady, Planet Asia and Chance Infinite who he mentioned before) were BLU & EXILE.
