SOUTH niggaz LOVE the WEST

[King Of The Greater Los Angeles Area]

People hating on the south cause they sound like the west need to realize the south has always loved the west coast and openly admitted being influenced by the West. Master P and No Limit always used to give it up to the West. The whole bay was pretty much down with P. Even Cash Money, Birdman and Weezy had Tha Dogg Pound on their album. But just overall ive never seen any south artists disrespect the West

[J. B A N A N A S]

Almost every Screw tape made has a gang of west coast songs on it, Screw said C-Bo was his favorite artist.
Too $hort lived in ATL and plenty of bay area rappers have hosted southern artists on their albums so I know the love goes both ways, its not just the South appreciating the west.

that's cause P was doing westcoast music and started in the bay before relocating to NOLA in 96-97.


that Cash Money is a bad example, there isn't too much Dogg Pound / Cash Money music out there except for the song on Like father Like Son and that song on the Carter II that has Kurupt on the hook. Mack 10 was signed on Cash Money for a while, same for Glasses Malone. Tyga is currently signed. Cash Money did several songs with E-40 (Baller Blockin, Look at Me, Flamboastin, that song with Birdman on Money & Muscles) and they used to appear in each other videos every now and then.

i'd agree with you if we were talking about the 90's, when westcoast music was influencing the whole genre, when Sick Wid It dropped Southwest Riders and South Circle were sporting Eazy E hats in their videos. when Too $hort was pushing platinum thanks to Mean Green. nowadays, there's no real southwest connection as there used to be before, the south has its own sound and the west isn't as relevant as it used to be. the average youngsters and people in their 20's don't really know the westcoast scene, i experienced it firsthand, whereas in the 90's, places like H-Town, Baton Rouge, NOLA etc. were bumping westcoast music heavily. if people like Totally Insane, JT The Bigga Figga, C-Bo managed to sell 100k independently, that was cause they had distribution and following in the South as well.

by the way the South doesn't sound like the West, there are places like Texas, Memphis, or Louisiana where they used to make G-Funk records a lot, but that era is long gone.

Jeezy been rocking with the West in the last year or so as well

[bouli77]

yeah Jeezy's a huge westcoast fan, he got everybody tripping when he mentioned B-Legit in his Top 5 lmao.

come to think of it, some of the biggest southern rappers of the 00's are influenced by westcoast artists : T.I., Rick Ross, Jeezy, 2 Chainz...

[Blood$]

if I recall correctly Young Buck said Brotha Lynch was one of his favorite rappers too

[BiggBoogaBiff]

dont tell me your one of those non-blacks who use the word "Nigga" online freely like youre actually about that life?

[weedhead]

Yall some stupid muthafuckas on here mayne...the west is made up of people from the south ..long beach is nothing but missisippi tennessee, alabama and other southern regions whom people like snoop,cold 187,doc,ect parents are from the south....do your research euros.

[bouli77]

lmao @ euros, op's name is King of San Fernando Valley ffs, and yet he'is a euro, some members are killing me, each time y'all catch feelings about something, you blame it on the alleged european identity of the poster when most of the time you're talking about peeps from the states. smdh.

you're right though, weedman about what you said. Nate is from Clarksdale, MS, Snoop's family is from MS as well and cousins with Brandy & Ray J lol, Daz grew up in Oklahoma. Spice 1 was born in Texas, E-40 & Mac Mall's extended family is from the South. Domino is from St Louis (Midwest, but still country), etc.

if I recall correctly Young Buck said Brotha Lynch was one of his favorite rappers too

yeah Young Buck has to be the most striking example of Southern rappers born in the late 70's that are westcoast fans. I mean dude signed C-Bo & the Outlawz on his label, fucked heavily with JT The Bigga Figga, Daz, B-Legit, etc.

you can tell Trae loves the west too, dude took beats from Explosive Mode 2 for his Life goes on album (Smile), collaborates regularly with westcoast rappers (C-Bo, Yukmouth, Messy Marv, Philthy Rich, etc.)

i don't only use the word online, i'll say it in person too if its appropriate

[King Of The Greater Los Angeles Area]

bouli77 i see what you're saying and i kinda agree but what i mean is that even if the south's sound is expanding these days its still rooted in the west

[BiggBoogaBiff]

dont tell me your one of those non-blacks who use the word "Nigga" online freely like youre actually about that life?

i don't only use the word online, i'll say it in person too if its appropriate

no u wouldn't.  u would reason with yourself and take a more humbler approach than that

the west coast was originally unflunced by east coast then like 10 years later west coast at last got their own sound unless you count the bay sound who came before g-funk . the west coast bay sound was an influnce on the south first not g-funk..  the south originally was influnced by the east coast & the west coast bay sound . 
WEEdman  & bouli77  ,it does not matter where there parents are from .  to count as west coast or count as down south in hip hop, you have to come out of south or the west coast with music.  D.o.c.'s music came out in south first not the west coast .  so D.o.c. is down south not west coast.  if it matter where your parents are from in hip hop  then 2pac is east coast & kendrick lamar is not west coast but midwest  . 
I am also been question who came up with singin g-funk style that Domino or snoop dogg are known for. i  think Domino & st louis invented that style first .
