and just because a rapper has put out an album or two that hasn't fared well, doesn't mean they don't have marketing potential.  shit I remember being a big twista fan back in 97 with his adrenaline rush album, 7 years later he blew up.  so which westcoast rappers do you think have marketing potential, maybe say why.  heres mine

jayo felony - I'm sure you already know why I think he should blow up
Bad Azz - he makes good party songs, and has vibe of an rapper that could be popular
e-40 - now that he is doin a album wit lil jon he might get his well deserved respect
roscoe - with "Game" type promotion for Philiphornia, roscoe coulda been "game" status imo

i agree with the roscoe comment he should be way bigger than he is right now
 

Suga Foot

I think Crooked I is very marketable.
 

We Fly High

i always thought mac dre was marketable. he just has good charisma and like in a positive vibe. i think thats more important in determining marketing potential than skills. like just the type of energy the person puts out, like he said, he was a rock star trapped in a rappers body.

Roscoe
Young Rome
Smigg Dirtee
Bishop Lamont
Mitchy Slick

Scipio: From a Marketing standpoint, he's perfect. He has an appealing style, not too regional, but very distinct. Scip has the appeal to women, that's the biggest reason he's so marketable.

Yukmouth: Godzilla showed he could actually make Universal music. His image (The way he dresses) is very much relateable for East Coasters (Boots, Minks, etc). Image/Look is one of the most important things in Marketing.

Spitfiya: Very Charismatic, has the hot lyrics and flow. Again, has a relateable image to people outside of the West.

Just a short list, not even close to complete, but just an idea of the Marketing schemes that would work for most West Coast rappers.

I think Crooked I is very marketable.

why? thats a pretty blanket statement.

people want more of a back story than "he a rapper"

good marketing has virtually nothing to do with skills
 

GangstaBoogy

good marketing has virtually nothing to do with skills

sad but true

thats the reason Ali Vegas, Papoose, Murder Mook, etc cant blow up

Ali Vegas is very marketable. He was one of 3LW's "Boyfriends" in their video. It's obvious he had some appeal to the eyes. The label must've not known how to spin that.

I know his voice ain't nothing special, but I think E-White is marketable coz he speaks the truth about the state of the rap game.  And personaly I think he got a great voice and a great flow.

i personally dont think roscoe is that markable unless they use the car crash died and came back theme.
