Title: Best Rappers in West NOW!
Post by: felipebtu on April 13, 2011, 03:26:24 PM
In your opinion, what are the five best rappers in the West Coast at the moment. (2011)
 (counting the songs released from January 1 until today).

 1 - Kendrick Lamar (not even need to comment)
 2 - Schoolboy Q (Setbacks showed his lyrical ability to the extreme)
 3 - Kurupt (his verse on Blow My Horn, Impossible, Killin Me Softly let the top 5 yet)
 4 - 'Don Kennedy (why? Don Kennedy Original Mixtape)
 5 - KK of 2nd II None (for a hiatus and back with incredible verses in Quik TBOD)

what are your top 5?  8) 8) 8) 8)

Off the top of the head in no order:

Crooked I - Consistently spit hot shit
E-40 - I don't like all the beats he uses but his flow is still the shit & unique
WC - New album is the shit and he still spittin like he always does
Kurupt - The feature I've heard him of lately seem like he has his spark back
Snoop - I'll get some hate but Snoops new album has some classics on it

lol, so let me get this straight. Everyone here has Kurupt and not Ras Kass on their list when Ras Kass has bodied Kurupt on both HRSMN tracks and had a much better solo project. Only on dubcc...

Brotha Lynch Hung - Bizzare, odd, either way he's unique, and unlike any of these fashion rappers like Ya Boy, and other dime a dozen rappers out there
XL Middleton - His smooth sound, is what comes to mind when thinking of West Coast. Takes feedback well, and has a smooth flow against his own work

Would have put Crooked I, and Rass Kass on the list, but these 2 are what comes to mind

1/ Philthy Rich
    Dude is mad dope and he's grinding hard, albums and mixtapes are top notch and he keeps dropping quality videos on a regular basis.

2/ Kendrick Lamar
    Really talented, K.Dot is all I'm looking for as far as westcoast music, he's lyrical, he's street and he def got skills.

3/ Kurupt
    I'm looking for what he got next but he's always here and despite the fact that he's no more relevent regarding his lyrics/content, his mic ability still amazes me.

4/ E-40
    He's an OG, he's putting real raw and gutta music every year and as an mc he still relevent.

5/ Mitchy Slick
    One of the realest spitta right now, never been disapointed by any of his projects and the last SAS album is a modern classic to me

4 - 'Don Kennedy (why? Don Kennedy Original Mixtape)

People really need to quit sleeping on this dude. Great production, smooth flow, on-point lyrics. "From The Westside With Love" was one of the best releases on the West in my opinion from 2010. Be sure to check his album "Futurestreet/Drug sounds" as well. All his mixtapes are available for free @ datpiff.com

you'd mention Young Hootie and not mention Crooked?

YG Hootie and Crooked I can't even be compared. Their music is completely different, Hootie is a gangbanger, Crooked is on some street-knowledge and lyrics orientated type of shit. I'd prefer the dumbed down hardcore shit over the lyrics to bump regular.. street tales over wisdom. I'd read a book or watch a documentary when I wanna learn something. But Crooked is dope too don't get me wrong.
