..... gradually becoming boring. Compared to the East Coast it is. Theres only a fews artists in the West that still get my attention (Ras Kass, Xzibit, Crooked I ...erm that's it). I'm sick of hearing about pimpin/whores/been gangstas - It wouldn't be so bad if they actually changed there lyrics every now and again but they don't. Lyric wise there years behind the rest. Its a good job they've still got tight beats.
I agree 100%. the whole "I'm a gangbanger, I smoke weed, fuck bitches, pimp hoes, and I love my mama" routine is played out. The west coast is flat out redundant now. The Snoop/Dre we are hearing now is the same shit we heard 10 years ago when you get down to it. It's the same sound. This is why The Source, XXL, Vibe, etc. don't show love towards the West Coast. This is why MTV and BET don't play as many west coast videos. The Snoop/Dre act is stale. The new west coast artist is an artist who can rock the mic and rock a party. The west coast needs a facelift in the next year or so, starting with Snoop and Dre retiring so that the new crop of mc's aren't being held back so Snoop and Dre can hog the spotlight. Xzibit, Rass Kass, Crooked I, Techniec, Bad Azz, Eastwood, Roscoe, E-White, Soopafly, Spider Loc, Shade Sheist, Knoc-Turn'al, etc. need to force Snoop and Dre into retirement. They bring a new sound to the west, and hopefully new producers can step up as well, because the sound is starting to get played out as well.

I love the west coast music and I think I will never get tired of it.
