Title: Who's The Most Underrated Westcoast MC
Post by: kingpin_4eva on January 20, 2003, 10:10:17 PM: I'm truly a big Westcoast fan. In your opinion, who's the most underrated westcoast mc. In my opinion it has to be Ice Cube, because he dropped more than 2 classic albums,Amerikkka's Most Wanted('90),Death Certificate('91) and The Predator('92). To make another point, that is 3 straight years with a classic album. Runner-up will have to be Dj Quik. What do y'all think?

Post by: S.G.V. on January 20, 2003, 10:14:18 PM: Boots Riley...from The Coup...nobody even brings his name up...hes one of the most thought provoking Emcees since Chuck D and KRS-One...

the most played down has to be Crooked I...since hes signed with Tha Row...ever single DPG fan hates him...lol..and deny his true talent...

Post by: West Coast Veteran on January 20, 2003, 11:34:41 PM: Ice Cube is considered a Top 10 MC of all time by the majority of hip hop fans.

Kam has always been underrated and I'm still waiting for The Self.

Post by: M Dogg™ on January 21, 2003, 04:46:16 AM: Chino XL is not westcoast, his from New York, and his not Mexican, his Puerto Rican. Anyways, most underrated as of now... hum... Evidence, 'cause Dilated People are just the straight shit. Realize.

Post by: CharlieBrown on January 21, 2003, 11:52:38 AM: Rakaa Iriscience, everyone always mentions Ev or Defari, but never him and he is better than Ev (IMO) and more consistent than Defari (but when Herut's on point, he kills it).
Title: Re:Who's The Most Underrated Westcoast MC
Post by: Tha_Reverend on January 21, 2003, 12:05:53 PM: King Tee. Nobody knows who he is around my hood. and he gets very little talk around here on wcc. He is a DOPE artist. and I really dig his old school shit too. like ACT AT FOOL is as old school soundin as you can get.
Title: Re:Who's The Most Underrated Westcoast MC
Post by: On The Edge of Insanity on January 21, 2003, 12:07:18 PM: I would say both member of Dilated Peoples, Defari and definately Ras Kass as well as far as the mainstream audience is concerned.

BG Knocc Out & Warren G

:o When did Warren G become a MC??
He's hella underrated as producer, but not his mic-skills..

Anyways, I would say people like..
Defari
Bad Azz
Goldie Loc
Jayo Felony
King Tee
MC Ren
Hittman
Time Bomb
Sixx Two
Crooked I
Roscoe
Mista Grimm
Ras Kass
Phats Bossi
hmm... I musta forgot somebody..

I agree that The Coup is underrated too, but I haven't heard more than 4-5 tracks from them..

I would say WC is the most
underrated
i would say Dub-C if he didn't come out with that wacked out album "Ghetto Heisman" the streets is the only real tight cut. You can tell dub is trying to hard, he needs to start spittin his shit instead of reading it.

Warren G has no skill on a mic? c'mon...
Title: Re:Who's The Most Underrated Westcoast MC
Post by: Kaidy on January 25, 2003, 03:08:24 PM: Chico & Coolwadda - had one of the best rap albums of 2001

Short Khop - he's dope even though his album was only aaaaight.

ATL - They have some classic albums but are really overlooked imo

Well... no.
His lyrics are ok sometimes, and he has a nice laidback flow, but he's not an MC.
^^ His lyrics, or should I say other peoples lyrics, as he has people to ghostwrite for him..
If Warren is a MC, then Dre & P.Diddy is the same, and that doesn't make quite sense..

He has ghostwriters but mainly he wrote most of hes shit himself & Warren even co-ghostwrote some songs for The Chronic..
