Most Under-rated West Coast Jam in History?

[TraceOneInfinite]

My vote:

"East/West Killaz"

[Soopafly DPGC]

I'm assuming you want the criteria to at least have been a single or had some general exposure and not some underground song no one has ever heard of. If that's the case, i will say:

Eastside LB - Twinz

No there's no criteria really

"Eastside LB" is a nice choice

"Still a G thang" by Snoop is up there

I know that it did pretty well but that was 10/10 track imo

actually another one is "Hooked" another Snoop No Limit track from the I Got the Hookup soundtrack

In that case:

We Don't Love Em - Top Dogg 

Amazing beat by Quik, great flow by Dogg.  I know he got caught up in that 2pac/Snoop Dogg clone war with Realest and created a lot of negativity so I don't think many people gave that song a chance....but now that's all over with, looking at that song in retrospect objectively on it's own, it's really an amazing song.

Good choices...

"Still A G Thang" is a good choice because it sort of gets overlooked because it was in that lost period of Snoop's career.  He even shouts out Dre on the song "u need to get at me".  It's sort of an updated version of the o.g classic "G Thang" and he raps, "No Limit is the label that pays me."  The production is tremendous, lyrics dope, and Snoop's style (we didn't call it swag back then) was in top form still from the Death Row days.

^^Pretty much the same could be said of "Hooked" except that it wasn't a single that saved a solo album, and didn't have the Dre connection/history to it

This could be a good choice in the sense that the song has an extremely low rated and most hate it because it was that era when Death Row's best idea was to try to get a copy of Snoop (Top Dogg) and a copy of Pac (The Realest) while simultaneously dissing them (fun times).  So the song has an extremely low rating so if it's actually a likeable song then it definitely qualifies as most under-rated

My Honorable Mentions

Mel Man - "Shittin On the World"
RBX - "Blunt Time" (I was banging the o.g. of the track, this used to come on my parents car radio often in my youngest days)



^^Notice so far all 3 of my most under-rated picks are from Aftermath Presents

Next I got an unreleased Pac gem I never heard anyone really give enough props to, but this is a great, classic, timeless track.  It's not really even a love song they go into spirituality, contemplation, existentialism, philosophy —  "Play Your Cards" Pac and Outlawz



Next, I know a lot of people love this song, but it should've broken mainstream.  It never made radio or video in the midwest.  It developed a sort of cult following, but it should've been big like Will Smith "Summertime" and Coolio "Fantastic Voyage" or Warren G "Regulators".  It should have been one of those huge summer jams and platinum.  It did come out on the greatest doc and soundtrack in history "The Show".  But that soundtrack didn't go platinum because of this song, it ironically went platinum because they scammed everyone by putting Dre and Snoop's names on the tracklist, lol (which was the only reason I bought it, and it ended up being my best purchase ever, but by accident)

‘Good Life' by 2Pac, Big Syke and EDI.

One of the OG versions from the Until the End of Time album, and I think recorded during the same session as Hit ‘Em Up according to studio footage, but almost the polar opposite of that track.

It's like peak Death Row, top of the world, untouchable 2Pac and both Syke and EDI come with nice supporting verses as well, and there's a great vibe to the song.  Love the beat with the wah-wah guitar and it just makes you feel good listening to it.

Definitely one of my favourite 2Pac tracks and would have fitted in really well on All Eyez on Me.
