Title: Snoop Dogg Planning West Coast Dominance, Introducing New Unified Groups Of West
Post by: T-Dub on July 14, 2006, 01:35:09 PM
While the South is currently dominating Hip-Hop, West Coast rap icon Snoop Dogg is confident that his beloved region is ready to reclaim its top spot.

With his new solo album Blue Carpet Treatment, due in October, the Long Beach, Calif., rapper hopes to restore the West's dominion.

"I hate losing. I'm a sore loser," Snoop told AllHipHop.com. "That's why when the West Coast was losing, I had to come step the game up so we could get back in the game. We just want to get noticed one more time and then once you notice us and start to hear us, then you'll start to feel us."

Although the West has been unusually silent in the rap scene the past few years, Snoop sees recent activity as a sign of change.

"Ice Cube's album is out doing tremendous things right now and E-40's record came out bangin'," the lyricist noted. "Keak Da Sneak did his thing, my n***as Tha Dogg Pound just came out [and] they s**t smoking. Everybody's gearing up for my new record so it's coming back around. The Waist Deep movie just came out, which is West Coast s**t. So it's like the movement is coming back full circle. It's got to come back home."

To further capitalize on the West's momentum, Snoop is developing two new groups in an effort to present a united front.

Western Union is comprised of artists from Los Angeles, Inglewood, Long Beach, and Watts, while the War Zone is based in Compton, Long Beach, and Watts.

The new factions include artists such as Supafly, Bad Luck, MC Eiht, Kam, Goldie Loc, and Lady of Rage.

"My thing is trying to build the West Coast up by putting n***as together and formulating groups so we can learn how to group up as opposed to putting n***as out individually," said Snoop. "I figured if we do groups and then one member shines, then we can push him solo. Put the group first and that way everybody eats."

Never one to shun controversy, Snoop expressed discontent at artists from other regions who take advantage of the West's dormant state.

"I'm fin to put a stop to all that s**t," he said. "All you motherf**kin' suckers that ain't from the West Coast, n***a, your pass has been revoked. Time out. We need our b***hes back, we need our lowriders back, n***a. We need all that back n***a -- with interest. We don't need y'all comin' out here wastin' time shooting our videos in our hood and then by the time we want to shoot, it look like some s**t we stole from y'all. Get the f**k out of here.

"They know not to confront me and I wish one of them would," Snoop continued. "I'm talking to every last one of you n***as. Straight from the Dogg's mouth. All that doing videos and s**t out here n***a without checking in with Snoop Dogg is over with."

But Snoop said his frustration goes deeper than artists using the West as a background for videos. The rapper also feels that people on his coast are being overlooked for possible employment opportunities.

"A lot of these n***as just come out here using us, and not using us. If you gonna come to the West, start using some of these n***as and give them jobs," said Snoop. "I can't come to your town and shoot a video without hiring some of your people and checking in with the right folks and what not. I'mma get ran up out there. Come on man. Show some love."

Snoop Dogg's Blue Carpet Treatment hits stores October 18.

Not sure why he thinks people need to check in with him to shoot videos in LA but I like what he is doing aside from that.  Groups made up of people like Eiht, Kam, Lady of Rage, etc NEED to be done.  This isn't about the south or the east, it is about us supporting our own legends.  How are we not going to support MC Eiht or Kam?

I usually agree with him but thats just stupid. Especially coming from his mouth, the man who worked with EVERYONE in the biz (nothing wrong with that).

This is all just to create buzz for his new LP (which I cant wait for  8))

Bad Lucc is a rapper.  And he didn't talk at all about his album, I guess you are falling victim to this controversy stunt.

You puppets are funny believing this shit.  All this shit is about promoting his new album which I couldnt give a shit about, just like that west coast conference was all just a stunt to promote his tour with Game.  Ive learned over the years that Snoop only really cares about himself and doesnt really give a shit about anyone else.  I used to love Snoop but the last 6, 7 years I think he has been a phony.

and what's this bullshit about the South dominating hip-hop?

as far as I'm concerned, nobody is on top right now, what is the South doing right now that everyone can't stop talking about?

that stuff was 1 year + ago



overall sounds cool but I don't think this is goin anywhere in terms of how he sees it....

it's all politics, it's up to the industry and how much money people wanna spend to shove it down others throats, that's what gets big

I see bullshit and people eat it up, it's because these corporates push it so hard that it's forced on people and it sells

kind of a lose/lose situation, hopefully it works out tho.... I really don't even care too much anymore, getting inside stories on the industry is slowy ruining music as a whole for me

What Snoop sais is right, BUT if talks like this, he should do it like this! I cannot understand why he's talkin bout "wstcoast stand up" and stuff but he plans to feature artists like Ne-Yo, Akon, R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder, Brandy and people like that on his album... then I read about a song with E-40, Goldie Loc, MC Eiht & Daz+Kurupt! WOW! Just 1 song full of westcoast and that's it? I think that Warren G won't have any beats on it even like Dre. I hope Snoop will think about his trcklist for his album again, then he had spoken very well in this interview, but if not, it was a whole bunch o' shit!

You gotta be kidding me. T.I., Rick Ross, (Cool N) Dre, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Lil Wayne, etc. These are the busiest dudes in the game right now. They're everywhere. They're all from the South. They're all more successful than anyone else in the industry at the moment. SO that would mean that the South is dominating the Hip Hop industry, because the top artists right now are ALL from the South.
