Name Rapper(s) That Could Bring the Westcoast Back on Top

[kingpin_4eva]

Can someone name a rapper that could bring the westside back to the bestside. I could name a few, but i'm going to feedback on what everybody has to say.

[2paclbc]

I THINK ICE CUBE AND WESTSIDE CONNECTION COULD BRING BACK THE WESTCOAST

[M Dogg™]

I wish I could say Ras Kass, but I doubt people will buy his stuff, and I had all kinds of hope for Xzibit, but he turned into a Hollywood gangsta. So I don't know, Ice Cube, nah, people don't take him serious, Snoop, only if he gets Bad Azz in the forefront, Dr. Dre, maybe in sound, but who knows if he can pull a saviour out his pocket yet again. I don't know, I really wish people would buy Ras Kass. Though 50 Cent is more a west coast rapper than Rassie, but that's all good. Go Ras Kass, go Ras Kass.

[eastcoasta]

50 cent will be rappin on a west coast label... that will possibly bring an opportunity to a homegrown west coast rapper.....

[S.G.V.]

The Game...Techniec...Bad Azz...Crooked I...Planet Asia...Sly Boogie....Dr Stank...40 Glocc...and many more

[40oz GRApHire]

Fuck Roscoe, Im going for:
- Sly Boogie
- Dr Stank
- BG Knocc Out (yes he will return)
- WC (Hes always on somethin' phat)
- Calico

[Don Seer]

my runners are (in order)

Ras Kass
Crooked I
E-White
Soopafly

theres a few more i forget them right now.. label of the year.. iv life baby

[Hatesrats™]

Crooked I is my only choice at the time....because of his skillz + Delivery + Anticipation + Tha Row nostalgia  + and everything we have heard Crook spit on sice the get-go, he has never appeared on a wack track eva...IMO

I gott to give it to Crooked.
followed by Ras Kass..

The Vet's like Dre, Cube And Snoop ect...don't count cause they already transended the area....they are Bigger than a coast. They have become a Standard by which all West-side music is measured by.

The Younger Generation has to blow this place up....Pass the torch to CROOKED.
Westsiiiiiiiiiiiide
Hatesrats 2000Tre

[ExZit]

[BL7]

Ras Kass
Crooked I
E-White
Soopafly

Yup. I think Sly has a chance too, and maybe Roscoe.


Peace

If by saying "That Could Bring The West Coast Back On Top" you mean.... "That Could Make Some Poppy, Industrialized Rap"... then I dont really care homie...


They tried to do it with Xzibit... tragedy...

Ice Cube never was tha same... Ice Cube's a legend and all but after he did "We Be Clubbin" and got on that Club shit... It just aint tha same...




I aint really worried about West Coast shit or any Underground shit on MTV... I'd rather not see it on MTV, cuz it's usually downhill from there...



And just to clear it up for tha people who think I'ma hater... Aint nothin wrong with a Rapper  being successfull...just dont let tha money change ya... keep it tha same, keep it about tha music...



I'm just waiting on tha next foo' to Blow Up IN the West Coast... waiting for some new cat to come up out of nowhere and start some noise and get people's head turning... maybe Sly Boogie... but just anybody..

[AxleF]

Sixx John for sure.  Cant believe nobody mentioned him.  He spit fire on that track he did with Nate Dogg:

Roscoe,Nate Dogg n Sixx John - Nasty Girl

He showed major skill!!!!  With the right label and production he could blow IMO.  He can successfully make the cross over and appeal to Easty fans just as well as Westcoast fans.

welll if youre talkin about bringing it back as far as commercial attention , then i say:

sly boogy
roscoe
crooked i
soopafly

^ those 4 have the talent, skillz, and charisma to bring it back. others have the talent but not the charisma that is needed for commercial success..

[Kaidy]

I'm tired of that 'put the west back on top' shit. it's the same story every year. By 'on top' peeps mean the most recognized or selling big numbers. It won't happen! The music industry is horrible right now, hip hop has been bastardized by corporations, and listeners don't care about reality rap in general, and certainly not the west coast.

Like the homie 909 said, it'd be nice just to see a few artists do real good IN the west coast. someone who all us west coast fans could say 'yea hes the shit'. fuck big sales, fuck videos, fuck radio (nobody will ever get on radio without major backing any more, they killed the radio). Just some shit we all like and respect.

The West Coast had its day in the sun, its time to take it back underground and just make great music without trying to cater to any rules or demographics. What would be nice is if there could be a major outlet for the underground heads to hear new shit and support it, without having to go thru the major label channels and stress about putting albums out. U know we all get pissed when our favorite artists dont sell shit, well we should get over that and just make sure WE support who we want to.

i think there needs to be a big time west coast mix tape scene, that would be dope. A lot of peeps aint interested though cuz they dont see big figure$ in it, but that would be a good way to go.

 

[verbalassaulta]

right now...lets all be honest ...there isnt one...the all may make a good album but no one currently is good enough to bring back to mid 90's era....especially with a lot of big name west coast artists selling out(snoop)
