okay, the topic pretty much explains it.
what are your favorite west coast albums that either didn't sell shit, or didn't get much love from other fans? These have to be albums that you personally thought were classics, not just any old cds you sorta like. Here's my 5:
1. Twinz - Conversation
2. DJ Quik - Rhythmalism
3. Xzibit - 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz
4. Swoop G- Undisputed
5. SI Riders Vol. 1 compilation

Kurupt's Streetz album. That probably is the most underrated west coast album of all time in terms of sales. Alot of it had to do with it coming out the same day as Dre's album. But most heads will say Kurupt's was the better album.
-
yup very true, I love that Kurupt album.
i thought of another one - Richie Rich's Seasoned Veteran. That shit was off the richter, shame his new one is so wack
-
you left out bad azz's word on the streetz, i read that that only sold something like 100,000, and of course, kurupts album was one of the best. the tash album was off the hook too. for that matter, you can say just about any alkaholiks album didn't get the sales it should have.
-
underrated was that Safe & Sound lp by DJ Quik. i was rockin that shit today and was like WOW. production wise that album is a masterpiece.
-
I aint ashamed to say it... Doggy's Angels
Tash - Rap Life
Nate Dogg - Both Of His
Warren G - Want It All
Ice Cube - War Disc
-
if you think about, almost all west coast shit besides 2pac,dre,snoop,and cube is virtually unrecognized really...peace-Tanjint
-
I aint ashamed to say it... Doggy's Angels
Why should you be ashamed?
-
i'd also have to say kurupts "streetz iz a mutha" album cuz i got it a while ago
\and its a dope bumpin joint
but yeah it dpgc2001 , ur right it did come out same day as dre album
but..
i gotta say that tha 2001 album is better than tha kurupt album cleary
i'm dissin kurupt or nothin cuz i love his muzik and he's dope as fuck but i gotta give out of those two albums to Dre
cuz his is just better with tha production but yeah both albums were tight, it's just dre's well im my opinion was better
but anyway yeah tha krupt album was undrrater and all u rap fans of tha westcoast should pick it up
-
Twinz-Conversation... i like every song on that cd... it's a classic
Peace
-
Yer Quik, Mc Eiht, CMW...slept on too fuckin much!!!
'FESU' , MC (from Texas) that braught me deeper into rap back in 94', his album was like a trend setter 4 me, Reminisce everytime i hear this shyt. I found ONE fuckin site with a track of his, here you go...
http://infoweb.net/reach/bands/fesu/fesu.ram& info...
http://infoweb.net/reach/bands/fesu/fesu.htmlnot the best track from the album tho.
I picked up a CD in 95' from this dude Gangsta C, cant find any audio tho, Maybe Napster? just this page...

Paris released that cd in 98 that was good too, here.. http://www.towerrecords.com/ra/hurlPNM.exe?/towerlink/~bb-450351/0167305_0105_00_0002.ra
G2TheOD fuckin damn right bro, S&S is crazy dope

Snoops Tha Doggfather and No Limit Top Dogg, thats two great albums wich never got the recognisation they deserved, cause people was as always hang up on Doggystyle.
-
strictly for my N.I.G.G.A.Z
i challenge anyone to listen to that shit and tell me it aint one of pac's best albums (especially "point the finger" that track is ill as fuck)
-
Kurupt, Doggys Angels
U forgot Makaveli I bumped that last night and it's a 5 mic classic and the Source ignored it and the East treat it like shit
-
i dont think you can say any Pac albums are really underrated since they are all platinum-plus records. same with doggfather, okay it got HATED on a little bit but again, it sold a lot of copies and true fans all like it.
just my opinion, dont hate :)
-
yeah good point
on the real tho, 'at the speed of life' is by FAR the best Xzibit album and is criminally underrated....
-
I don't know what u mean by that I was just saying that this album should be regarded as one of the greatest ever made in Hip Hop
U saying it is? It doesn't matter about sales
Vanilla Ice - 17 million
Greatest rapper and greatest album of all time? - Come off it
-
naw Jay Hammer is far superior lol j/k
i didnt mean its all about sales, hell no, but i dont think you can call an album underrated when its a platinum selling record.
and MANY fans agree with you that the makaveli cd is one of the best albums ever, its just the media who dont but who cares.
I think an album is really underrated when even the fans of that genre don't realize its excellence eg the twinz cd. g-funk was huge back in '95 and that album didnt go copper.
-
Safe I understand what ur saying now
-
1. No limit topp dogg
2. Eastsidaz
3. Streetz is a mutha
-
I know what ur saying about Tha Eastsidaz I never hear it praised in here - there's some real shit on there - just way too many guests
-
Underrated, These Should Have Sold More; Eastsidaz Is Plat., But Should Have Sold More Than A Jay Z Album, If You Ask Me...
No Order
Eastsidaz - Snoop Presents Tha Eastsidaz
Doggy's Angels - Pleezbalievit
Ice Cube - War
Twinz - Conversation
Warren G - I Want It All
Kurupt - The Streetz
Nate Dizzy - G Funk Classics 1 & 2 -"This Is For The Niggaz That WAs REALLY Down From Day 1... So Much For Death Row!"
The D.O.C. - Heltah Skeltah
-
TQ - The Second Coming. It shoulda sold more. It was a tight album. Same with Amerikka's Most Wanted, I want it All and the Peace Disc.
I guess some people don't appreciate quality albums anymore.
-
The new DPG!!!
-
Its not getting much love on the radio stations or TV either.
-
I agree with all those, Kurupts album should have definitly gotten more recognition, that cd has so many classics. and the twinz album is awesome, all those other g-funk groups like 5-footaz, foesum, dove shack, i cant even find their albums but i have heard most of their songs. I also think the Eastsidaz are underated, tray and goldie are great rappers along with snoop they are amazing and thats a hot album. and by the way, I like vanilla ice
-
DPG again!!!
-
I think the WSC album was kinda underrated. BTW, I reviewed it at the "Album Review" section. Check it out.
-
Millions of albums are underated...Xzibits first 2..
-
WC's album "The Shadiest One" i think that album is tight as fuck!... but doesnt get to much love
Peace
-
what smooth said..that is what i was going to say....
He had some tight as party songs on there also..it wasnt all about fuckin someone up..it was actually about him gettin fucked up at a party.....and dumpin.......shit had me laughin...and the Beats by Dj Toons were tight...
-
I got the WC album for $.99 with my BMG account. Its a tight album. Can't wait for his next one coming out on Def Jam.
-
WC and The Maad Cirlcle "Curb Servin" also...
-
Yeah, I forgot about that one. Its tight too.
-
Coolio "It takes theive"...
-
Coolio "It takes theive"...
it takes a thief went platinum so it really wasnt that underrated and it got 4 mics in the source so pretty fair ratings
-
Many MANY people hated on it though... ;)
-
...Andn your discography is missing "Untill The End Of Time"...
-
...And your picture isn't even showing...
-
Now it is...
