Is it safe to say that Dr. Dre can't make "westcoast" beats anymore?

[.:Hercy Buggz:.]

Dr.Dre is prolly laughing at yall now, dude is on another level.. dude changes the sound of hiphop everytime he drops something, If I want to hear a west coast classic sound I'll go back to the archives or I will listen to some Xl Middleton

[jlegendary]

that "i am hip hop" joint that leaked sounded "west coast".

but dre moved on.  the next genre-defining sound he comes up with will be labelled "west coast" anyways.  g-funk was 15 years ago.

[Black Excellence]

dre can do what he wants. he still the greatest.

This is NOT a thread bashing Dre in anyway, it's just that I feel Dre doesn't make westcoast sounding beats anymore, no g funk, no cali sounding shit, nothing

what is a west coast beat today?  because what used to be west coast beat back in the day might not be a west beat today . so dr dre might be making the be new style west coast beats not the old school style that you are used to & stuck in .

[sofdark]

This Is Detox was def. a west coast beat.

At least Dre is active. I haven't heard pooh and battlecat for a long damn time.

[kevin t]

and were not apes anymore either, it's just evolution.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

It's funny how some people are stuck in the past for all eternity.. or they're just constantly 10 years behind the rest of the world.

Back when 2001 dropped, you had ninjaz going "It's alright, but it certainly ain't no Chronic, where's the G-funk? Where's the soul?"
When Detox drops, they will all say stuff like "It's nothing compared to the the G-funk on the Chronic or the thumping classic Westcoast sound on 2001"

They should just make an official "Internet Complainers' Guy To Westcoast Beats" so Dr. Dre has a guideline of how his music SHOULD sound in order to maintain his credibility with people who post on his threads talking about how "they are OFFICIALLY done with Detox" every other week. 

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

haha noone is done wit DRETOX
EVERYONE WILL BE WAITIN FOR IT
and its droppin in 2012

DRETOX WILL NOT LOSE
C.O.D. OR NUTHIN

shit that stands out, the shit he is making now i couldn't tell the difference if it were a lil wayne track, he is a painfully average producer, but once he drops something everyone is on his nuts.

honestly kanye beats stand out more than dre beats and i hate kanye

[Hittman2001]

I'm sure he can, but "does he want to?" is the real question.  I cant blame him though, no sense working with one style of sound your whole career.  it would get boring.

[QWICCSHOTT]

G FUNK IS DEAD

LET GO

dre shit is hella westcoast
maybe you aint coast enough to digg it

that "Topless" shit is hella westcoast

yeah, not to mention there are still plenty of producers with an old school twist in their sound.

Wheres the west coast sound going though? Maybe living on the west coast got yall deluded but the WEST COAST HIP HOP SCNE IS PLAYED THE FUCK OUT! The last west coast rapper to blow up was Game and although his lyrics are extremely west coast orintated his beats are hardly all replicars of the old gfunk or 2001 sound.

Id be disappointed if Dre was making beats that fit in witht hte current west sound - the fact he's taking it in another direction (with varying degrees of success) is a GOOD thing. Quik or Daz or Warren G can continue dropping G Funk albums but at the end of the day whose checking for them?
