The number one west coast track this year was Knoc-Turn'al's Gangsta Lean. 

Bishop Lamon'ts Everyday though it didn't particularly have that west coast vibe and The Game's Spanglish are my runner ups.   I also enjoyed Crooked I's three bitches but I don't know if it'll stick.

1. Ice Cube - Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It
While other MC's yank that soulja boy or let a bitch have what ever she likes and all that god damn bullshit, Ice Cube drops knowledge. Cube is still raw as a dirty needle. The best west coast song in 2008, in mater of fact it's the best song of the damn year, gangster.

2. Bishop Lamont - Grow Up
I'm not very familiar with Bishop's music but after listening this song, I think I should study more his works. Bishop  rhymes well and is funny at the same time "You bought an Iphone, but live in ya mama home. Got to wait till shes asleep, before you can bone.". Dre gave him a nice beat, although the hand clappings are quite a cliche. In my opinion this song describes profoundly most of the small criminals on dubcc.com.

3. Ya Boy - 100 Bars of Death
Ya Boy is my favorite of these west coast new comers. I know he dropped a debut three years ago but he need to release a new album. What can I say about this song? Boy rhymes steady over a very dark sounding beat. I don't know who produced this but it is gooood.

4. DJ Muggs & Planet Asia - Black Mask Men
Gotta love that synthesizer loop. This song is a nice mixture of that old west coast sound and traditional east coast sound.

5. Some weak ass LAX track from The Game
Yarrr :pirate:
