Rappers with a west coast (influenced) style

[R-Tistic]

What rappers can you name that you feel have a west coast style of rap? I wouldn't mention the ones like 50 who may just talk about thug shit, but the ones that if you didn't know anything about them and you heard em rap, you'd think they were from the west. I wouldn't mention Kurupt, Xzibit, or any of the rappers who moved here but they claim to be west coast. Also, say where they are really from.

-MC Breed - I have only heard Future in ya front, and I used to ALWAYS think he was from LA. I even thought he was sayin he was from NHC because he was like "Now I got dollaz in my pocket, I'm from rollin" but he's from Flint, Michigan

-Kriss Kross - I have heard people call em Snoop Dogg clones, and in their style, they did sound a whole lot like Snoop on some songs. I won't front though, their last album "Young, Rich & Dangerous" was hot as hell. They are from Atl.

-Da Brat - I have also heard a few people say she was a bit of a Snoop Dogg clone, and I do think that her style sounded a bit like his. She's from Chi.

-Lady of Rage - She was considered a west coast rapper because of who she rolled with, but she even said she was from Virginia. She definitely rapped west coast as hell though.

DFC... Bree's brother and another guy, their album Things In Da Hood is a g funk classic!

Quo... some kids, think they came out around the same time as Kriss Kross, had a lot of westcoast beats on their album...


that's all i remember now...

Bone Thugs - They came out with their own style but it fitted with the Westcoast style at the time, plus they were with Ruthless, so people assumed they were from the west, even tho they repped Cleveland in the songs.

Lil Flip sometimes sounds a lil westcoast to me.

Master P in his old days made some westcoast shit.


As far as Kriss Kross and Da Brat, JD just copys whatever was popular at the time.

Bone - man even thought the repped E. 1999 and St. Clair, Cleveland they were closest to the westcoast style even though they had their own. Also, they came up with Eazy-E and they were on Ruthless a westcoast label.

Yeah, "Young Rich and Dangerous" was hot!! Especially "Some cut up", the first track...that beat is FIRE. Shame it is that short.

bone thugs in their early albums sounded very west coast

[GangstaBoogy]

Bone Thugs dont sound West Coast at all.

I used to think Mc Breed was from the West up until next year. Other then that. Scarface seems West influneced.

I agree with the choices of Bone Thugs, Da Brat, Kriss Kross, MC Breed, and the Lady of Rage based on what everyone else said.

Anyone remember a female rapper named Boss who was from Detroit I believe. She had a song with AMG called Mai sista issa bitch or something like that.

[R-Tistic]

I was thinkin BONE, because they definitely just seemed west coast. But they didn't have a west coast style or accent, even though they didn't really have a Cleveland style either.

Ey, was MC Breed's album good? I only heard that one song from him, I've NEVER heard anything else he did, unless I just didn't know it was him. But KDay is makin that shit a classic because they play it alllll the time.

I remeber Boss, tha bitch was sicc.  I have a couple of her albums, she did a collab with Spice-1 and AMG, but my favorite shit is Run Catch and Kill, I was on a another site and that she been laying low because she had kidney faliure and is on dialais but they said she's makin a comeback and is in the studio to drop another album.  Get Well Boss
