i read your answers with my eyes open wide and i see some guys can't accept the truth.let's see what most of you said "its an evolution, music changed, g-funk is gone, old cats are dead not west coast hiphop, bla bla bla".some of you named some underground rappers and its really a shame.i accept that g-funk is no longer popular, its an evolution, but that evolution happened after dre's 2001 and brought a new era, now that new era is dead also and nobody on the west side could put something new instead of it.i love underground hiphop but im not talking about this.lets say old cats are gone, dre, snoop, dpg, xzibit, cypress and others...please tell me one new cat on the westside who is popular as much as old cats were in their age.if you tell me west coast underground hiphop are doing good albums worth to listen, ok! i accept that.i was listening underground rappers even when west coast music was so popular with legendary artists that i mentioned before.west coast hiphop is no longer interesting, if it changed, what we have now? just nothing. accept the fact guys.
Mustard and "newer form of g-funk"? No, thanks. For me it`s newschool sound with a bit of old west coast sound. Newer version of g-funk is for example Polyester the Saint or Cardo (I know, he isn` from west coast). So smooth and dope.

You're asking for a lot. There'll always be interesting music coming from the OG's but their time have passed and they probably don't have the drive or the creativity to come up with really interesting music, unless they reinvent themselves and transition to other things. criticize Snoop all you want, but him doing a reggae album and a funk album is more interesting than hearing him spit nonsense on gangbang rookie, in my opinion.QuoteMustard and "newer form of g-funk"?

So smooth and dope.it depends on the song, there are mustard songs like "smoking n drinking" which have very obvious g-funk twist. you might not like it, but it's there.I love Polyester as a producer but his raps are redundant, though. Cardo is a beast, too.

Cardo is a beast, too.yes its my opinion and maybe im too old fashioned romantic about golden age of west coast hiphop.but you also agree on westcoast music was in decline for several years.that is what i am talking about.kendrick's first album made a big impact on music industry, but we can't name his album "west coast hiphop" because he is just from compton.but you can definately call jay rock's "follow me home" album "west coast hiphop".anyway, as a west coast hiphop fan i'm not interested in SchoolBoy Q, Nipsey Hussle, G-Eazy, IamSu, FaShawn, and other dudes.because i listened to some records of them, and they are really ordinary.they are just underground rappers. they have no potential to make a big impact. but i appreciate their effort.
maybe im too old fashioned romantic about golden age of west coast hiphop.
well, u said west coast hip-hop is dead.....which is flat out wrong. if u look in the underground scene, we got lotsa talented artists still puttin out dope west coast shit. what u shoulda said was "mainstream west coast hip-hop is dead", which in that case, i would've agreed
good rap music in general is on life support, forget the coast
G-Funk may be dead but the West is not...
