Classic west coast rap songs tend to be laidback and a little sloppy, but there are some tracks that I think are truly perfect, where there is no possibility for improvement. The vocals and the beat are top notch, the vocals fit the beat, and the whole vibe of the track just works. I'm going to nominate three songs as perfect:
1. Kurupt - We Can Freak It
2. Tupac - Hold Ya Head
3. Quik - Somethin 4 Tha Mood
I don't think these tracks can be improved. They were perfectly realized by their creators. What else deserves inclusion in this list?

Snoop Dogg - Murder Was The Case (Remix)
Dr. Dre & Ice Cube - Natural Born Killaz
Tha Dogg Pound - What Would You Do

Wow...seriously? That song to me is just filler with more talking than actual lyrics.
-
Klientel - Sherman Way
-
"Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" 8)
-
Crooked I and Luniz "Girl"

"Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" 8)
I would agree about this song, Ain't No Fun, and You Know How We Do It. These are real clean songs, where the creative vision was just perfectly realized.

Did the thread title say: West Coast Classics: Perfect Lyrical Songs? No it didn't.
It's the best track that N.W.A ever did together.
I rather listen to a song that makes me want to dance than do a drive-by.

To me, "perfect" applies to all aspects of the song. The music's good...but whatever, to each his own.
If I wanted to listen to an uptempo NWA song, I'd choose Panic Zone over S2D2.
