Lol that proves his point. He said noone ever refers to BEP as West Coast because they make radio music and not gangster rap. They fact they don't make music that's "dope for the streets to like" and despite the fact they make pop rap, at the end of the day, they are the biggest West Coast Rap group right now

Hahah, exactly. What's funny is the majority of the people here are from Europe yet they only want to hear from rappers talking about the high crime rate in parts of California.
But about Black Eyed Peas....they may be more pop now but their early shit was dope. And Will I Am has some dope solo albums. But then again you still might not feel it since its not about "the streets." What I don't get is why hip hop has to be about "the streets" for you to listen to it. No other music genre has any rules like that.

That's not true, whenever I hear a new artist I don't care where he's from, if he's spitting nice I'll fuck with him.
I am not overlooking the fact that alot of good artists have emerged from the West in the past couple of years. While it is surprising, it still pales in comparison to the number of artists of this caliber that are coming out of the Eastern area.. Just the way it is..
For the longest time I Thought Alchemist was from the East... Just by listening to his style of production.

Maybe not you specifically, but definitely overall. You'd have to be blind to overlook how gangsta shit dominates this forum. Whenever someone posts something by an alternative rapper it gets overlooked, while all the Death Row or Crooked I threads have pages and pages of responses. How many non-gangsta west coast rappers have you even checked for this year?
BiggBoogaBiff:
there's like 20 people who actively post on this forum, get over it already. look at this thread
LyRiCaL_G:
This albums pretty dope! I aint frontin, im still checkin this shit!
Oh and about the westcoast, its true, its been steriotyped to the point that if it aint gangsta, it aint west. Lets be real. If you all are past that stage, thats dope but in general, if u a westcoast rapper...usually gangsta needs to be put inbetween the westcoast and rapper part ;-)
There are dope gansta rappers out there though and dope more lyrical rappers out on the westside but yo lets be real...gangsta or not, the likes of bishop lamont was nothing special at all.
