Imo no one can ever replace Nate Dogg but with his condition and all slowly getting better I don't know if he will ever get that chance to shine like he did when he started doing hooks for everybody.
Kokane seems to be coming back slowly and will always be known for one of the best hook master from the West.
I think Butch was pretty good at 1st but then imo he seemed to get to cocky and I haven't liked any of his shit since he stopped fucking with Tha Eastsidaz and all them.
Oh yeah Bo Rock is good too but I aint heard from him in a long time.
-
Nobody can't fuck with Nate Dogg, that's for sure but after him i'd say that Butch Cassidy and Kokane are the only one that come close.
-
dont take this the wrong way...as much as i respect nate doggs enormous contribution to west coast music, i have always found him to be overrated..i dont find he sings that well...you ever see a live performance? i hope he gets better though and does what he loves..
with that said, ima have to go with kokane...
-
Butch Cassidy, Kokane and Bo Rocc... but Bo Rocc aint been heard of in years...
-
Surprised nobody names LV. Duke's mad underrated

Bo Roc has his solo out since March 9th. Check the thread! He's a dope singer. After Nate i would put kokane, bo roc and butch cassidy.
Some people talking about Nate singing live, i never had the chance to see him ( did he ever went to Europe? don't think so) but i often have a weird impression on his lives, like the mic is fucked up or something.
Just check his solo work, one more day, brown skin... he definitely knows how to sing!

What about Knocturnal and Suga Free
-
Nate. Kokane. Butch. L.V as mentioned
Bookie loc? also had some tight hooks on some Goldie Loc joints.
-
Kobe kills all the hooks he does. I mean, it's a long way to Nate Dogg status butwho's doing it better right now?
And XL Middleton is not an outstanding vocalist but he definately got the melodies!
-
Butch cassidy
Nate
LV
Bo-Rocc
in that order
and what about Kobe, he's dope too ?
-
Nate is best, then comes Kokane -> Butch Cassidy -> L.V.. and at last Kobe is doin good job, but thats it for me, these are the ones im always waitin to drop the hook
-
i love Dion's hook for Game's " Ol'English". That song was off da hook!
-
Marsha Ambrosius

Yeah, Knoc is underrated. He got alot of classic shit too. Most of this board turned against him cause of his "beef" with Game.
-
nah theres other reasons....lol
you consider more of a rapper or hooker? lol
and no he aint no hook master....he will never be in the same list as those

-
the answer is nate dogg.
-
Kokane & Kendrick Lamar
all the names listed so far obviously deserve to be there, but this is a good shout
-
I mean obviously I want to mention the legends, but Kobe is KILLING it right now.
-

Nate.
-
Kobe = autotune so he can't sing
-
Kobe = autotune so he can't sing
He uses it relatively often but he can do without!
-
levetti from the bay area who used to be on e-40 and the click albums,to me he is the most overlooked forgotten artist of all time nobody talks about and gives respect to,he was the bay area nate dogg in the 90's i don't know what happened to him, and i think at this presents time who i think is the dopest hookmaster is matt blaque from frisco.
-
Nate dogg, or Zapp (yes, I know he isn't a true westcoast rapper at all, but I guess really Talk Box is what I should be saying, but still Cali Love)
-
Yo I've been fortunate enough to here some of the homies Clinton Waynes hooks and I thought dude could do anything due to his versatility but to be honest his hooks have improved greatly!!!!! Waiting patiently for desert eagle!!!
-
marlon from tha relativez album is dope
and yeah levitti is one of my favorite
-

oh yeah, where's the proof?
real singers don't use autotune

I dl'd his mixtape and there are songs on it where he doesn't use it. Took a quick look to find one of them on YouTube but couldn't find them. So the truthis out there! :D

Nate Dogg is all time best but Butch is the shit right now ("so gangsta" - "all i see" = classic for me), he should have the same recognition as Nate sooner or later. Bo Roc is OK too
-
Nate,Nate,Nate,Nate.... 8) 8) 8)
What abaut that man who's singing hook on Game's LAX files track.sound nice 8) 8)
-
I think my favorite hook singer after Nate is definitely Lil Half Dead but then you got plenty killers such as Mike Marshall, Butch Cassidy, Bokie Loc, Kokane, Blaqthoven, Jelly Roll...
-
Nate. Kokane. Butch. L.V as mentioned
Bookie loc? also had some tight hooks on some Goldie Loc joints.
L.V fo sure, i knew i forgot to name 1
-
he aint from the west but devin does some dope hooks for west coast albums. But yer Nate = the king. too many classics.

can't be bothered to check the mixtape, but do the no autotune parts suck?
-
Marsha Ambrosius
She is dope as fuck and underated, she aint from the West though as she is from the UK
-
Another person coming up major James dude is sick
-

Kobe is definitely the best hook guy out of the westcoast right now,nobody else is even close.Nate is gone and butch hasnt done shit lately.And like Tpain,he doesnt need auto tune but he uses it well,it adds to his vocals it isnt his everything.
-
Nate >>>> Kokane >>>> Butch > Knoc
top 4
Kobe could jump Knoc if he keeps killin' shit but it'll be tough to get in that top 3
-
Shit I forget to put Clyde Carson on my list.
-
signed to a westcoast label...lol
Marsha Ambrosius
She is dope as fuck and underated, she aint from the West though as she is from the UK
was, i'm sure she's not on aftermath anymore

Nate is the king of hooks.
But i really enjoy Kobes hooks at the moment. And the autotune isnt obvious. He does it well.
-
well it's not like you can barely hear that he's using autotune
-
All of the greats have been mentioned already. Obviously Nate Dogg is king, but I've got love for Butch Cassidy, Kokane, Bo-Roc, Jelly-Roll and all of the female hook singers from the DR era.
-

And XL Middleton is not an outstanding vocalist but he definately got the melodies!
Kobe does kill
kobe is from the west coast? is there any dope songs that got that westcoast flavor that has him in it?
-
Nate Dogg hands down.
Levitti, Mike Marshall, & Matt Blaque from the bay.
Jewell & Michel'le were on some major hits in their day.
Montell Jordan, people kinda forget he's west coast.
