its not west coast nor is it south western state. its just West as in wild wild West back in the outlaws days, not west coast because its not on the coastline of the pacific ocean. it is part of a region called the Southwest.  If youve been to Arizona, its a lot like Cali, at least in my opinion it is from the countless visits there.

Hell yeah its west. Isn't the IE in California, and we not that close to the coast. Philly and Boston are Eastcoast, ATL, Texas and Miami are the south, then AZ, Las Vegas, LA and the Bay are the westcoast, throw in Seattle too, 'cause Sir Mix A Lot did his thing and that's the West. I'm still on the fence with Denver, I have to hear something come out of there, but AZ is westcoast. Everyone I know from AZ use to bump that westcoast and now they are producing those rappers that sound west.

The "West Coast", "Western Seaboard", or "Pacific Seaboard" are terms for the westernmost coastal states of the Western United States, comprising most often California, Oregon and Washington. Arizona and Nevada, while not coastal states, are also often included in the West Coast due to their proximity to the Pacific Coast and their economic and cultural ties to California (such as Arizona's two largest universities which are members of the Pacific 10 Conference). Although not part of the contiguous United States, Alaska and Hawaii do border the Pacific Ocean and could be included in the West Coast. As of 2007, the estimated population of the West Coast ranged from approximately 50–60 million, depending on which states are included in the estimate.

good point(s)!

if you gotta be ON the coastline then damn... compton aint got no beach... the IE aint got no beach... pomona, south central, watts, inglewood... no beaches. it would basically just be long beach and oceanside.

i wouldnt give a damn... if the whole state of montana decided westcoast music was the shit and rode wit it for years and years (i mean generations)... ill give em the stamp in my book

i consider arizona as much as the westcoast as the mid-west is. heavily influenced but they have their own uniquness.








its not west coast nor is it south western state. its just West as in wild wild West back in the outlaws days, not west coast because its not on the coastline of the pacific ocean. it is part of a region called the Southwest.  If youve been to Arizona, its a lot like Cali, at least in my opinion it is from the countless visits there.

u trippin homie, the homeboy goes to college over there, brought some boys from arizona and they dont know how to act right, fo was bout the get fucked up. dumbass small town niggas gettin too comfterable.

Well put.. I consider it the Wild West. From infamous shootouts at the OK Corral to oulaw Native Americans like Geronimo fighting for his people, this is where a lot of that western history happened. Musically though I don't think we've got any particular sound that we can call our own.

That arguement is flawed because Philly is considered East Coast, but it is also inland.
I guess it all depends on what Arizona identifies itself as.

You know the only reason why people are even arguing this is because you don't see more artists from different western states out there (mainstream). Does not mean they don't exist or that because they don't have a coastline they ain't west.

dang, last time i posted there was only a couple comments and now its on its 2nd page. well, i dont know why its such a big deal. put it like this, GEOGRAPHICALLY, its not west coast just West. But as far as music, lifestyle, culture, etc; its West Coast, if thats what the question meant.
honestly my first time(5 yrs ago) to Arizona, i didn't even know we were in Arizona until i woke up when we were stopping for gas in the outskirts of downtown Phoenix around midnight and let me tell you that part of Phoenix was fuckin gutter man. it look like the hoods in Cali. im talking bout dudes in their Regals and Cutlass drinking in the parking lot. it was kind of uneasy.
