I like both, gangsta & non-gangsta [sounds terrible]. I love DPGC, but I can't forget on Stones Throw, etc. Murs & Slug are good dudes too. Shit's kinda hard:

Post by: D-Stress on June 04, 2008, 02:17:05 AM: i think the artists mentioned, just keep spittin some battle rhymes and rap about NOTHING.no meaningful song with point/or story in it, so there nothing like "dance with the devil".all they do is talkin about how dope they are.

How do you mean it? You speak about ''non-gangsta'' rappers or gangsta rappers?

Post by: Nima - Dubcnn.com on June 04, 2008, 08:40:38 AM: BLU & EXILE. I interviewed Talib Kweli yesterday and when I asked him about West Coast cats first thing he said (aside from Strong Arm Steady, Planet Asia and Chance Infinite who he mentioned before) were BLU & EXILE.

Why do you think that they're boring? Lootpack got a lot of things to say. Underground classic.
