-
DJ Quik
-
I Ain't From The West Coast or Nuthin' But How Much Love Does E-40 Get. Cos' Its Usually People From The East Coast Who Don't Feel Him.
-
where i live, near L.A, when a DJ QUIK album is about to drop everybody is hyped up to buy it. Well since I live in South Gate, everybody is pumped for a cypress hill realease too.
-
PAC
-
PAC
he said other than 2pac though.
-
no one living inside the westcoast can't reply cause whut u sayin is bullshit , u don't know whut goin on back there, thats a fact
-
In every l.a. neighborhood....M A D L O V E to the cypress hill,especially in East L.a.
Other dudes....Mc Eiht,W.C.,Bad azz,Ras Kass,Jurassic 5,Dj quik,Suga free(!!!!!)
-
Prolly more fo the underground heads people respect like X Raided, Lil-CS and rappers like E-40 etc. I think people on the streets feel close to them since they don't depart from their roots and become famous.
-
since i'm one of like 3 people who are ACTUALLY from the westcoast on this forum here is who is liked and who's not
liked A LOT
snoop
dre
suga free
cypress hill
nate dogg
daz
kurupt
ice cube
dj quik
too short
jayo felony
wc
and loads of latino rap
e-40 and most of the bay area people don't get much love down here but up in the general bay area they do
i dunno basically it depends on which side of cali you live in, north of Fresno it's more bay area with a few exceptions like snoop and dre ....and south of Fresno it's more L.A. underground and west coast main stream with like a couple of exceptions

and who are those 3 people? Im from L.A
-
Im from the west coast as well... Where else is everybody from?
-Engelwood
-
does tray dee get lots ofrespect on the streets.
-
I'm from Cali... about 1 hour away from L.A... the big bad Inland Empire 909 area!!!! Represent!!
But yeah.. I think Big Jake's list was pretty accurate. I would have named exactly the same people. They're right about the Bay Area rappers too.. they dont get as much love down here as they do up there... except for a few.. E-40, Too $hort, Dru Down and maybe Rappin' 4 Tay back in the day.
The thing is.. alot of people out here aint into the underground scene. Everyone likes that Mainstream Gangsta Rap. People still bump all the old shit all the time, shit like West Side Connection, All Eyes On Me...
Suga Free, all the girls jock his cd... expecially ¨I'd Rather Give You My Bitch¨.
WC... straight West Coast Representative... of course he gets love.
Ice Cube, Dre, and Snoop... straight West Coast Legends.. of course they get love.
Dj Quik... all the people who know about him, know what's up... al the people who dont.... can suck a fat one!
But Overall.... the #1 person out here that has the most clout... the one EVERY FUCKIN BODY loves... and bumps... (even more than Dre)....... SNOOP DOGG. Out here... he gets more love than Jennifer Hewitt.
-
Im from Los Angeles Cali. Out here, its mostly Pac [duh], Dre/Snoop, Xzibit, Eminem, Cube, Eazy, Nate Dogg, Dogg Pound, Pharcyde, Rass Kas, Cypress Hill, Mack 10 basically..........Those seem to be the most respected west coast artists here, from what I can gather.
Most bumped album: All Eyez On Me. Been the most played album here from 96' and still is......
-
Like Criminal said... Snoop gets more love than anyone. OGs, BGs, wannbes, never was, they all love Snoop. Hell, my dad loves Snoop. Overall, I think Snoop gets more love and respect than anyone. The other rappers get love, but most respect and love is Snoop. Snoop Dogg is on the west coast what Jigga wishes he was on the east, the undisputed king.
-
^^^Pac is still the king....
-
yeah... but in the living sense. Biggie still king of N.Y., but Jigga and Nas are fighting over that. Snoop has more popularity and respect than any other living rapper. I love 'Pac, but I think it's time to move on, and the art form should grow.
-
for those in Cali how is Dre respected on tha streets
-
"But Overall.... the #1 person out here that has the most clout... the one EVERY FUCKIN BODY loves... and bumps... (even more than Dre)....... SNOOP DOGG. Out here... he gets more love than Jennifer Hewitt." ;D
-
m dogg jay z and nas are fighting over NY but i thought bleek jumped in and said he was bigger than nas in NY.
DATS WAT I HEARD IS DAT TRUE.
does suge knight get respect on da streets
there aint no rappers in sydney where i am from.
-
I know people in N.Y. though college that said during Christmas, Nas had the streets with the guys, and Jigga with the girls, and those not into hip-hop much.
As for Dre and Suge, people like Dre, but his not like Snoop, who at least when I'm home, is on the radio every other day, and has his Dogg Pound, which people love. Dre doesn't do much publically, so his not on peoples minds as much. Suge is feared, but not really love, and some wish he would just leave. If his not bring 'Paac from the dead, then people don't care. Street respect, Suge is a gangsta though not loved; Dre hasn't had really any respect since the Eazy E beef, which people started saying Dre's a great entertainer, but not a gangsta. Snoop, everyone thinks his gangsta, and the whole Crip shit makes it seem more real. And for those that still wouldn't let 2Pac die, everyone has been pumping 2Pac since I Get Around, and every car since then has had 2Pac all the time. Street people thought of him as a cool muthaphukka that isn't gangsta, but doesn't need to be, 'cause his cool. Snoop is almost like that, though the crip shit adds to his flavor.
-
Well, Im from tha Bay Area and in here Dre and Snoop get luv from tha stations and some of tha artists but no gives a fuck bout them on tha streets.......Them real gs wouldnt mind jacking them......lol.....(just like wat happened 2 lil wayne in frisco)
But anyway tha person dat gets tha most respect in tha bay is hand down "1st" ANDRE NICKATINA and "2nd" BROTHA LYNCH HUNG.
It's amazing how King Nicky aka Dre Dog aka Andre Nickatina has gotten people's attention over tha past couple of years........And ofcourse there's Lynch who's tha OG and been down wit tha bay since tha early 90s.
E40 and peeps like Richie Rich and Luniz etc. still get alot of respect tho, I mean I seen Richie Rich at a car show a month ago and he had a million niggaz all over him kickin it and shit.........But they dont get as MUCH respect as they did back in tha 90's dats 4 sure.........
Ah and 4 tha people who said Too Short, well yall are wrong b/c Short Dogg moved outta tha bay a couple of years ago and doesnt come back much anymore, he never even records here anymore, He's shit's all based in tha south now, He lives in Atlanta also.........I know my brother's production team and some of their affiliates said one time dat people are starting 2 question Too Short's Loyalty and shit.........lol, It waz hella funny tha way they were saying it.........But on tha real peeps forgetting bout Too Short b/c of his acts..........
-
Iam from Los Angeles and it seems that the top three respected rappers are (in no particular order)
Snoop
2pac
Dr.Dre
Everybody gets all hyped up when they release their albums
Kurupt,Daz,Nate etc.... get hype but not as much as them. Respect varies on who you ask thougy
-
Snoop
Dr.Dre
Everybody gets all hyped up when they release their albums
OK, yur talkin bout tha fans here..........On tha streets its tha total opposite.........

maybe up in northern cali but not down here
anyway about dre
everyone loves him in southern cali, he's not THE most popular rap artist down here but he's one of them, and people are always sayin' "ahh hell yeah that's new dre beat turn that shit up cuh" white black mexican and jew that's what most people in the street and anywhere in s. cali in general say when .....let's say "put it on me" comes on dre's the most beloved producer down here hands down
suge knight
it's like jay-z no one really hates him out here but no one likes him at all either, the only time you hear someone talk about him is when people say
" oh he's the one who had pac and biggie killed"
"he's the dude that played uncle phil on fresh prince"
or in jokes like
"damn that fool looks hungrier than suge knight at an all you can eat buffet"
"man slow down, stopping eating that (insert food item here) so fast, it ain't like suge knight's around the corner to gank you for that shit"
and yadda yadda yadda with the fat jokes
or if someone says "man i was having a good time until...."
then someone interupts and says "until suge knight messed every thing up"
i ain't hating on suge but the only time you hear anything possitive being said out here is when some biggie hater says "i'm glad suge shot biggie"
plus what m dogg said
-
I DON"T really think that peepz really know...cauze even tho they know and meet peepz....it"z only a small percentage of people so we can"t really take it as objective or real info...
-
im from philly but i stay in the oakland, cali now and i know who gets respect on the streets over here... yukmouth, keak da sneak, brotha lynch hung, c-bo, e-40 hmmm there is a few more but those are the big ones
