Title: West Coast Hip-Hop Is Back On Top....
Post by: operation stackola on June 25, 2011, 09:16:36 PM
Lil B, Odd Future, Kreayshawn, Kendrick Lamar (and the only one shown love here is Kendrick???) Isn't it crazy that: Baaam!!, just like that, after everyone thought there was no hope for the WC, a movement has finally come. The OG's are still doing it, but it's time to pass the torch and the future looks brilliant. These artists have made me care less about Detox as a resurrection of the WC. They've already done it.

Nope, been up on 'em for a minute ;) It's just that it seems Dubcc hardly ever discusses the new. All those dudes that you listed above are NOT on top of the game like the ones I mentioned (and most likely, will never reach the creative and popular status of them). Oh, I'm not from Europe either, :laugh: but it's all good brederin

Internet runs shit. You don't have to be too smart to figure that out. I don't see Nipsey, kid ink (who????), or those other dudes getting the notoriety as Lil B, Odd Future, or Kreayshawn. Puffy is all over Lil B and Odd Future's dicks, RZA wants to work with Lil B (already put it down with Kendrick), Kreayshawn signed a million dollar deal with Sony....Fck radio play, it's all about the Internet (worldwide audience/ask Justin Bieber lol). I do wish the rest of the artists listed well, but... :-\

If you can make it in NY, you can make it anywhere http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDFvx25UhiI  Oh yeah, Lil B isn't only on the net: Coachella, SXSW, touring and selling out shows all over the map, MTV appearances, XXL Freshman, wrote a book, cookin' dance, resurrected Swag.... Kreayshawn doing it big, too: going to be directing Red Hot Chili Peppers new video. These are signs of potential superstar status.

Plus they're only the tip of the iceberg. You also have Shawn Chrystopher, H.O.P.E., Chuuwee and loads of others (even those I don't know about). But like someone else said, it ain't G-Funk so this forum doesn't bother...

Post by: Jimmy H. on June 27, 2011, 07:08:01 AM
In my opinion, hip-hop moved past regional dominance a long time ago and you're not likely have to that again. California will have a rap scene like everybody else but it's not like the 90's were they had to fight for everything. Back then, New York had everything on lock when it came to rap music and even though Los Angeles had created a great, new sound, they were struggling to get the respect. After that, it was the South and Midwest trying to prove that it wasn't just Cali and NY out there. Today, it's too much of a melting pot to break down in regional terms. It's not about just pushing your own. Eminem is the biggest artist of the last decade but it wasn't like he was strictly pushing all his boys from Detroit. He did give D-12 and Obie Trice their shine but when it came time to really make money, he got 50 Cent. 50, in turn, saw money in Young Buck and Game. Today, the labels and entrepeneurs are trying to find talent in every region so they can hit all those untapped markets. There's competition and pride in where artists come from but it's not like the top New York and L.A. rappers are only working with people from their Coast.

k.dot was horrible when he was k.dot, didnt u hear the first tracks he put out? dude was lil wayne 2.0, horrible.

but i dont like lil b so that might be why i dont support him, but yea dude i went to the key club couple weeks ago for the homies bday for ab soul n school boy q, kendick made a special apperance for moscato too.

its not about new act or old acts....these new acts are releasing garbage. and everytime theres an album promised its cancelled.

Crooked I has been giving us freestyles for the past decade...im interested in albums not mixtape trash. So if there is an album out, ill buy it regardless of whether its an old/new artist.
Eg. Tech9ne could care less about being on MTV or being popular with the masses...but he still just put an album out. That "All 6's and 7's" is hot !

some of you expect another All Eyes On Me...thats never gonna happen again. Sorry to say but its a fact.

Ya Boy/Kendrick Lamar/Jay Rock/G Malone are all potential heavy hitters for the west. Glad Jay Rock and Kendrick got their projects out and found a lane they can run through. YB is on the cusp of something big too and with Akon & Interscope backing him he can make an impact if his material is done right. G Malone may have gotten a bit stale but still is very capable. Those other fools like Lil B and Odd Future Im not really a big fan of but then again I havent listened to very much of their stuff either. Cataracts and Far East are great for mainstream music too.

Since when did Hip Hop have all these sub-genres, isn't that what killed Rock & Roll?
Care to name a few of these "Abstract Hip Hop" acts, in all my years of listening to Hip Hop it's never been advanced or anything. No matter who raps or when the song was recorded, the subject matter is always the same (gangs, violence, weed, being broke, black power, bitches, hoes, bling, money, corrupt government, racism etc...).

i guess instrumental/abstract hip hop originated from instrumentals (beats). simple as that. i know some people would find it strange to call this music hip hop while there is little rhyming in it.. or no rhyming at all. Nevertheless it's hip hop subgenre... it has originated from the same culture but went a bit further. it focuses on music, not rhymes. i guess there are many people like me who simply got bored with "classic" hip hop and moved to instrumental one. Just like you said.. it's hard to find brand new topic when it comes to lyrics. Music can speak more words imo... you can write your own story to these instrumentals... you don't need mc...

i guess the biggest name of instrumental hip hop from the west is Dj Shadow (many fo you probably heard about him. btw. i wen to his show in May. shit was amazing!). My most recent favourite is Dday One (L.A.).
just like i said - it's not an easy listening music so not many people can dig this...


edit: i don't know if abstract is the proper name. some folks in my surrounding use it but can;t find it anywhere on the net. but fuck the names anyway...

 Isnt that rapper "Mann" from the west? havent seen him mentioned but seems like he has had songs on the radio and videos on tv down here in Australia. I aint heard much from hiom but at the pub the other day the song he did with snoop he sounded pretty decent an the beat had that old 90's feel to it.
 If i remember the song he did with 50 had a similar vide/feel.
 Not sure if he selling big or not. He is west, right?

i guess instrumental/abstract hip hop originated from instrumentals (beats). simple as that. i know some people would find it strange to call this music hip hop while there is little rhyming in it.. or no rhyming at all. Nevertheless it's hip hop subgenre... it has originated from the same culture but went a bit further. it focuses on music, not rhymes. i guess there are many people like me who simply got bored with "classic" hip hop and moved to instrumental one. Just like you said.. it's hard to find brand new topic when it comes to lyrics. Music can speak more words imo... you can write your own story to these instrumentals... you don't need mc...

i guess the biggest name of instrumental hip hop from the west is Dj Shadow (many fo you probably heard about him. btw. i wen to his show in May. shit was amazing!). My most recent favourite is Dday One (L.A.).
just like i said - it's not an easy listening music so not many people can dig this...

edit: i don't know if abstract is the proper name. some folks in my surrounding use it but can;t find it anywhere on the net. but fuck the names anyway...

That "Our Music" joint is off the hook! Props for that.
Oops, I guess I must've missed the word "instrumental" in your first post (sorry for that, lol). I guess it's an instrumental with instruments playing on it instead of a MC spitting then (sorta like noise music?).
Dday One's tracks (or beats?) don't sound west coast at all, grimey (or groovy whichever fits). Awake & Aware's pure fire...

someone mentioned earlier about the new artists being internet obsessions? The internet is bigger than the streets, at this point which means they wont sell shit anyway because everybody is going to download it.

However crooked i is the biggest internet obsession i've seen on here. So you can't tell me only the new artists are big on the net.

this forum also never gave a fuck about so called instrumental or abstract hip hop artitsts. And as far as i know there is a strong scene of this kind of hip hop in LA. Some LA cats who make abstract hip hop have made great worldwide careers.... but on the other hand instrumental/abstract hip hop is not an easy listening music. it's rather for people with advanced music taste. maybe that's the reason...

Since when did Hip Hop have all these sub-genres, isn't that what killed Rock & Roll?
Care to name a few of these "Abstract Hip Hop" acts, in all my years of listening to Hip Hop it's never been advanced or anything. No matter who raps or when the song was recorded, the subject matter is always the same (gangs, violence, weed, being broke, black power, bitches, hoes, bling, money, corrupt government, racism etc...).

I don't think there's a genre called abstract hip hop but I'd call Deltron and Busdriver abstract. And Mika 9, Aceyalone and hundreds of other artists make music that isn't any of those topics you mentioned. There's hip hop about everything dude, the subject matter isn't the same at all. This site is in love with 90s gangsta rap though, so those are the only rappers who get discussed here.

Since we're talking about success outside of an internet fanbase, how about LMFAO? They're west coast, they rap, and they're MUCH more successful in the "real world" than Lil' B, Kreayshawn, Odd Future, Nipsey Hussle, G. Malone, and Tyga combined. Some of you probably wouldn't know that based on some of the trollish posters that have emerged on this forum, but outside of your houses/apartments/mothers basement, in bars and clubs, nobody's playing Lil' B, nobody's playing Odd Future, nobody's playing G. Malone, nobody's playing Nipsey Hussle, etc. Out of all those discussed in this thread, the only ones that will get spins are Kreayshawn ("Gucci Gucci"), Cali Swag District ("Teach Me How To Dougie"), and Far East Movement ("Like A G6"). You ask people that regularly go out to bars/clubs to name another song from each of those artists, they will draw blanks. Real Talk.

LOL, stop.

You're comparing Odd Future, Kreayshawn, Lil' B & Kendrick Lamar to Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye, Wayne & Drake?

Those names are billions & billions of miles below the game's elite sellers.

West Coast Hip Hop is dead.

I'm aware of that fact. However hip hop's main topics are the ones I mentioned, I'll take a listen to the artists you mentioned and see if I can be convinced otherwise...
(At the back of my head I'm expecting a dope ass rap about corn for some reason lol)
