2010 a rebirth of west coast rap?

[Jimmy H.]

lol at this haha, imagine if every west coast artist waited till dre dropped an album before they released theres and see how long they will be sitting on that muthafucca,oh it's basically been like that, then equals wonder why shit ain't pop'n,cause even the damn fans want everybody else to wait on detox smdh yell

Truth. It's not like Snoop ain't gonna make another one WITH Dre after Detox drops. Last I checked, Snoop was doing okay.

[RedMagic213]

the only west coast albums that will be released, and would grab any attention would be RED and I AM THE WEST

it will be another year of mixtapes from the The New West unfortunately. wish the kids get their act together and get on the shelf. Maybe they should make peace with Dad and as for child support...

ITS ICE CUBE NIGGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's not a West Coast comeback. It's the same people who've been dropping albums. The releases just all happen to coincide on the same year, this go around.

The reason why I consider this a comeback is that the music is sounding way more like back to the roots compared to the last years. Just listen to the lyrics or watch the visuals. I know that these people aren't new, but the it's the music that counts. I mean look at the combos: Dre / Snoop, Dre / Cube, Murs / 9th Wonder, Quik / Suga Free, Kokane / ATL that's on some back in the day shit.

and when you listen to the dj quik snippets, now this sounds just beautiful to me.

I hope y'all get my point now.

The west never left. There will always be good music if you are looking.

If you think the West will make a comeback to the mainstream, you will be disappointed. Detox will move a couple million units, RED will go either gold or platinum, and then it will be back to the usual. Regardless of how good the music is, it ain't gonna bring the west back I can guarantee.

[Si-Chiggedy]

I'm still not talking about moving big units, I talk about the quality of the music and the set of collaborations.

[Turf Hitta]

LMAO every year somebody makes this thread...

2009 was a great year for music, I don't know where you were.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

lmao are you kidding me?

2009 was like the shittiest year I experienced musically, especially rap related. It was poor, even "BlaQKout" wasn't as good as it could have been. You can try to prove me wrong but I can't think of 2009 being a great year for music. 2008 was weak but 2009 just "topped" that imo.

You're crazy, 2009 was a great year for hip hop, and better than the past few years. There were a ton of dope West Coast releases as well. Strong Arm Steady's In Search of Stoney Jackson, Souls of Mischief - Montezuma's Revenge, Gift of Gab - Escape 2 Mars. Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones. Sene and Blu - A Day Late and a Dollar Short. B Real Smoke n Mirrors.

By the way, In Search of Stoney Jackson = best west coast release of the year imo.
