hey hey lets not forget www.raptism.com  if we gonna include streethop then u must include Raptism ! and Que, man, Raptism should have been on your poll on WCA about 'other sites visited' hehe

but i always thought Snoopsdogghouse was run by B.B Bashore? he started it, and ran it for ages but like like JD Bastin from pacup.com he got too busy and sold it off or moved it to G Litts server. ..

thats how i think it went anyways ...

Yo BPG, i was one of the original posters on your site man, i loved that shit..........you're right though., Snoops dogghouse was CRAZY, the audio they had was incredible.  Still looking for that Mase song produced by warren g they had...............

I was one of those guys from your board that was mad with the merger; i never posted ont his board for like the first year, but its all good now........but really, the sites were way better back then........

Thats a dope post man.  I used to be on Snoops Doggpound  pretty much everyday, infact, BPG's site was the reason I found DUBCC...

[Que (signing off)]

Gambler I dont class Raptism as a Westcoast site. I guess I forgot it , its one of the best sites there is. Streetflop.com used to be owned by the same guys that did TooGangsta and ThaRapScene.

Yeah BB did snoopsdogghouse then left the site when he went back to study or something. But I think BB = G Litt. I know for sure she owned that site and all the audio since day one. In fact do you remember in 2002/2003 when she tried to bring Snoopsdogghouse back? The guy that braught it back was called "G Dawg". . .

G Dawg was G Litt

If I sat down and thought about it, I could expose so many, there are so many "imposters" and "phoneys" around, G Litt aka G Dawg aka BB aka Prophet aka "mess4age" (on AIM nowadays) aka a lot of other aliases.

Litt is the well known 2PAC Bootlegger, known for having rare material. She had a lot of hook ups back in the day from Radio stations and stuff, shes ripped off so many people over the years. Indian Canadian chick.

I knew Jordan from Pacup.com back in 2000.

Good shit.

damn I forgot about wckillaz.com that was one of the best West Coast sites to go to for news/mp3s

[Acgrundy]

The real websites that started this whole thing were:

The true "OG's" I would say were, NWA2K, Chronic Overload, my boy KrazyQBan's shit (NoSeeds.net was going to be KrazyQban & Nino Brown in 99), Playa P's Death Row Records Site (inc Matty Jory's DR Newz), G-Locc's Death Row News, DRHQ, DEATHROW2K (I tried to get KPac back in couple of years ago), Snoopsdogghouse (ran by G Litt from hiphopspot.com), O2Deathrow, Westside2Real, Hitemup. . .

Then you had the audio sites who started posting mp3s: TheShiznit.cjb.net, Tha Thug Pound (Which was Lil Jay's original WC2K)

Also the West Coast Affiliates (this forum, DPGC2000.net, Westcoastaftershock, Westcoast2k, WCKillaz, Snoops Dogg Pound, The Shiznit), G Funk Era. . .


Later on came. . . . Tha Rap Scene, TooGangsta.net, 2Untouchable, WCRydaz, Rapindustry, DUBCNN, Streetflop.com etc

yep I remember a lot of those sites.  I used to check that shit for news all the time.  then I found snoops dogghouse, and all those ones bpg listed.  I remember downloading mp3's off those old ass sites.  It would take me like at least an hour for one song.  I remember buying mixtapes off the sites too, of unreleased and rare stuff.  then a couple years later Napster was created, and I got hi speed net.  Napster was the greatest thing ever, and imo the best music search engine there ever was.  wcc was the first forum I ever signed up on.  I browsed it for a long time as a guest, then finally one day I registered and posted something.
