[fabtoxicp]

dat would have to be either pac or snoop - but ima have to go wit snoop, since pac is dead and he will also always be tied to New York in a way

[OG Hack Wilson]

Ice-T because he was the first to do the gangster rap! Secondly Eazy-E for bringing us N.W.A. Ice Cube used to rap like the beastie boys when he first started.

All of the artists mentioned have all added there own legacy to the west.

Cube, Ice-T, Eazy, Schooly D laid the groundwork

Pac and Snoop along with the others mentioned helped push it to even greater heights, but those 2 really took it to the next level.

you guys understand the term "icon", right?

MJ, Kobe = icons
Babe Ruth, Derek Jeter = icons
Eminem, Biggie Smalls = icons

how can you guys say Ice-T like he is some mega-popular celebrity? i'm willing to bet 90% of the entire world doesn't know who he is or couldn't tell you much about him; didn't he have a MTV or VH1 show? that probably gained him more popularity than he had when he was rapping lol.

if i was walking down the streets & asked people; are you a fan of Ice-T?

the thought processing in their head would be;

[Muhfukka]

id say as far as "icon" probably snoop

[Davizz]

Proably Snoop for his longevity, 2Pac is kinda bigger than the West plus he's been for half of his life on the East, I would go with Eazy-E.

[DJ SUGAFREE QUIK]

i'm going with Snoop Dogg.

Dre & Tupac are rap icons; meaning, most people (average hip hop/mainstream fan) associate these two with rap purely; like the first thing to come to mind when thinking about them is "both made HUGE IMPACTS in the rap game".

Snoop is still dropping albums, still throwing up the West & that's how he will be remembered; WESTCOAST BABY.

Pac will be remembered as the greatest ever & Dre will (sadly) be remembered as Eminem's producer; but no coast connected to them.

so the answer is Snoop if you're looking for poster boy of the West Coast.

if you just mean the biggiest icon that happens to be from the West, it's Pac, no question.

Agreed.  NWA did bring west coast rap & gangsta rap to the rap scene.  Hardly got any radio or video play & still got over.  Snoop Dogg, he's known worldwide.  As he said in a song, he's the only rapper ever known by your grandmother.  And your preacher & your teacher.  What other rapper is that well known?
