Back to the topic, I have been thinking about this a lot lately...

Listen to any classic WC album (I mean Real classics) or say 2pac tracks for example, The production is timeless....like 50 years later you could still bump some old school track and shit be dope! Thats what I think is missing 'cause again for E.G. 2pac tracks are 10 going on 15 years old now, and as I said before they will always be rememberd and bumped!

So yeah production wise quality isn't the same as before, but in saying this, I think West Coast has some of the best Producers, that don't get a lot of attention.

Battlecat should be up there with your Scott Storches, Dres, , Lil Jons, Timbalands, Neptunes, Swizz Beats (which is rediculous, 'cause Swizz beats has to be one of the shittier know producers around apart from the odd track here and there).

So Battlecat, Fingazz, Fredwreck, Rick Rock, Jelly Roll, LT Hutton, Dj Quik, Soopafly, Daz, Dr Stank, Sean T, E-Swift, Terrace Martin, THX, Damizza, J Wells, Meech Wells,  etc etc I could go on for ages lol...

I think WC is in good hands as far as producers.

I AGREE! WOKE UP LISTING TO WE CAN FREAK IT- KURUPT, produced by battlecat.   How old is that? It sounds better then anything on the radio now, and will still bang years from now, when we've forget this lacc of substance music out now days...   I see what your saying, the west does have the talant and producers, to create classics, but WHAT THA FUCC IS GOING ON??lol   i dont know why as soon as niggaz get signed out here or get a lil shine they wanna rush out to get one of these big name producers from the east, and make music that doesnt sound authintic, when we got all the producers we need in our own baccyard.  I would work with all the ones you listed above, before i worked with a Swizz or a storch and have a better chance at a  putting out a classic.

but what if they like them beats better?

stop with the dumb shit..just because you fan niggas want production from them doesn't mean they want it. we are the listeners they are the artists we chose what to listen to and what not to. They dont need to do shit that YOU want.

what if it sounds authentic to them?

just like you sayin a Battlecat production or any other westcoast producer shit sounds more authentic, maybe they feel like the eastcoast or the south producers shit sounds more authentic.

and it trips me out because westcoast fans are the most closeminded niggaz (not talkin about you directly).

like for instance, when they see a tracklist before they heard an album and see a few artist that THEY dont like..they call the song wack..even BEFORE they heard the actual song(s).

but if or when they put westcoast artist/producers they wanna check for the artist album, and then immediately call it a classic song.

[Big J/ Gain Green]

Im not saying it all has to sound west coast as in gangbang music, a whole bunch of claps and shit like that.  i also know people like differnt sounds an you cant limit yourself.. But we are talking about making classics again. i feel when you got a eastcoast or downsouth artist and producers making these songs,they are making hits on that sound, but because it is there sound! When you got a west nigga tryin to sound south or east not sayin its goin to be wacc, but its goin to sound like a carbon copy of a them other cats .

 So yeah tha song might bang and get play, but no lasting power, why listen to a nigga that sounds south or east when i can listen to Jeezy, or whoever elese. and your right the listener chooses what they like, and evidently they not liking what they hearing coming from my area, where  are the new Snoops, Ice Cubes, Quics, you know pepole who sond like them selves.   Me I like bangers, classics, i dont care about the name of producers, i just know the ones named are capable of giving some of my fellow West artist that sound we need again.

 I also say this because I've been in the studio with alot of these producers and i know they all got platinum sounds. That nigga JELLYROLL under rated, but people will see, the West Will Produce Classics again, There Already in the making!!! West meaning west artist and west producers,

Battlecat, Fredwreck, Rick Rock, Jelly Roll, LT Hutton, Dj Quik, Soopafly, Dr Stank, Sean T, E-Swift, THX, Mike Mosley, Ant Banks, Toni Capone, DQ3

All these producers arent active anymore as they were. They need to drop ther own albums/mixtapes if rappers aint coming to them.
