Not Eastcoast, but Da Brat's first album -- Chi town rapper with an ATL producer collaborating to make a G-Funk album. Heavily influenced by Doggystyle.

Jermaine Dupri's whole aim with Da Brat was to make her into a female Snoop. Hints the West Coast embracing her earlier shit.

Biggie copied the G-Funk sound for his singles, when I heard the album it was completely different, I was just thinking what's this bait and switch horse shit. I'm glad I ripped it off.

I remember Biggie doing a freestyle over some Dre beats and it was dope, just imagined if he signed to Death Row...

cool posts, y'all...
yeah, it seems that eastcoast rap with "westcoast"-sound is rare...not really surprising, since the in early to mid 90's the eastcoast-westcoast "beef" was all over the media

 i think when the west sound was dominant it increased how much east coast rappers talked about being gangstas and guns but cant say i recall many west sounding songs as far as production and style?
