San Quinn-  I give u my word
Messy Marv-disobayish
Keak the Sneak-Countin others peoples money

Last one I just got although it may have been released last year.  So cal aint representin this year.  Thats the good think about being from cali.  One of the regions will pick up the slack.  Although that song with knoc and nate dogg is one of my fav this year.  As is that Get Loose and Did I do that by suga free.  Hi C cant rap but the beats was tight.  Spice 1 got that song on his newest album with trey d that is def tight.  But as albums as a whole, par and sub par is my ratings.  The bay records I just listed, eat all them so cal albums up.  We gotsta get it together.  Sly boog where u at homie.  Jayo, Game, Daz, come on yall.

damn, this just made me reallise I don't really have even one favourite West Coast album for 2004...

The Lil C Style album was aiiight but that's really the only thing I've copped from the West...

By the end of the year though, my top 5 for 2004 should be (if these albums end up being as dope as I'm anticipating)   

1. Daz - So So Gangsta
2. 213
3. Game - Nigga Witta Attitude
4. DPGC
5. Snoop Dogg

yup, I'm on that DPG tip but there hasn't been much else that has impressed me lately...

Later this year, if released:

Xzibit - Weapons of Mass Destruction (should be good)

Snoop Dogg - R & G (i can only hope)
Daz - So So Gangsta (it will prolly be aight, wid a couple dope tracks)
Game - NWA (I doubt it will be good)
Eastsidaz - Gangbang Muzik (The Bootleg was good, so this should be too)
BadAzz - Executive Decizions (Should be really dope)
Kurupt - Against The Grain (Probably will sucks, but i have hopes)
Sly Boogy - Untitled (Should be incredible piece of hip hop)
Crooked I - (i forgot the name of his album) Should be the best of 2004 if he actually does it
2pac - Ghetto Gospel (I dunno if this is still happening, but should be good)
