Tha West Coast 2011 Appreciation Thread

[D-Nice]

I just wanted to say this.

2011 I have been very impressed with the music that has come from the west. It's becoming almost too many to name as far as quality releases.

But the main thing I am excited and proud about is west coast artists coming together and supporting each other again. Especially the OGs with the younger artists. I think all it took was for new acts to get a opportunity to shine and put out material and if you a fan of good music, you can't help but support it. From the video with Dre, Snoop, DOC and Fred Wreck all vibing to Jay Rock to Snoop bigging up Kendrick, it's a good time to be a fan of west coast music. Of course there are always some bad apples in a bunch but overall people are bringing it.

My fav west coast album in 2011 so far would be 3 at this point that get constant rotation

Snoop Dogg- Doggumentary
Brotha Lynch Hung- Coathanga Strangla
Schoolboy Q- Setbacks

honorable mention- Section 80, D.A.Z., Book Of David and I can't wait till tomorrow to pick up Follow Me Home from Jay Rock. Feel free to add your 2 cents or your favorite albums from the west so far this year. And we still got 4 more months to go.

2011 has sucked for the west coast compared to previous years

I'm not saying it's a banner year back to the glory days. TBH I don't know if it will ever get back to that height or music in general, but most def there have been some great albums that have dropped this year

disappointing as hell compared to 2010, 2009, which weren't amazing years to begin with. Honestly its the last year I'd give an appreciation thread to. Nothing outstanding, a few good releases and a lot of disappointments/delayed releases.

Spice None speaks the truth. Not much to appreciate in 2011. However, we still got 5 months left in the year.

my favorite releases this year:

Game - Purp & Patron/The Hangover
Snoop Dogg - Doggumentary
Brotha Lynch Hung - Coathanga Strangla
DJ Quik - Book of David
Kendrick Lamar - Section 80
Jay Rock - Follow Me Home

E-40 and Yukmouth are some honorable mentions, I have that Schoolboy Q mixtape but only skimmed it

good album but not as dope as Dinner & A Movie

peep "The Coathanga", "Mannibalector", "Look It's A Dead Body", "ICU", "I Don't Think My Mama Ever Loved Me", and "Takin' Online Orders"

[HighEyeCue]

Kendrick Lamar Section 80 has been my favorite so far. I have yet to listen to the Brotha Lynch album. Quik's was pretty decent. I liked Daz album over Snoops.

[escowino]

My favorites so far, as far as albums, are WC "Revenge of the Barracuda", Strong Arm Steady "Arms & Hammers", Snoop Dogg "Doggumentary", DJ Quik "Book of David", and E-40 double albums. Also like certain tracks from Brotha Lynch, Schoolboy Q, Hopsin, Jay Rock, Mack & Malone, Snoop & Wiz, some from The Games "Purp & Patron", 1st Generation, Daz, Dawaun Parker, Black Hippy.

Also am happy the LBC Crew & O.F.T.B. Death Row albums were released (despite the mastering).

WC "Revenge of the Barracuda"
Strong Arm Steady "Arms & Hammers"

forgot about these for a minute

[BiggBoogaBiff]

I'm still trying to figure out what tha fuck is going on with Nipsey Hussle.  Is the nigga rappin or not smh?  Tha masses need Hussle.  Dude needs 2 do some damage control like TI needs to (when he gets out).  Tip aint out yet tho but he needs that ughh record again to take that place in history. 


anyways, i need some new Nipsey Hussle

[MistaNova]

This year has been impressive (better than last year IMO), some of my favorite releases would be...

*Jay Rock - Follow Me Home
*New Boyz - Too Cool To Care
*Lil B - I'm Gay
*Snoop Dogg - Doggumentary

Though TBH I got bored of all of these in like 2 days lol...
I hope Nipsey and Tyga drop their albums soon...
