I've noticed the lack of discussion of newer rappers from LA/westcoast. I dont see anything about Skeme, Shawn Chrystopher, Odd Future, YG, Casey Veggies, Dom Kennedy etc. Theyre dropping some hot shit and getting recognition nation/worldwide, except for dubcc and why is that? Why does everyone want to still hang onto some old washed up shit and creating false hope that your favorite artist will drop something equivalent to something from when they were in their prime? Its like a crackhead who cant put down the rock, still smoking hoping to feel that high he felt when he first got high. These new rappers are repping LA to the fullest but yall aint give them no love. Why is that though? Can someone please explain this logic.

Because nostalgia and most listeners grew up on that "old" music and sometimes it's hard to give props to kids as old heads. because you always look up to OG's and not kids. EVERYBODY HAS THERE OWN GENERATION. And if u can't except that than don't get jealous or butthurt.

I've made threads for Skeme whenever he drops a new track and they always end up buried :-\

thats the lamest explanation ive heard. kendrick had mc eiht on his album, dj quik had dom kennedy on his album, snoop had problem and nipsey hussle on his album so "OGs" are giving props to the new generation of west coast rappers so wtf are you talking about "its hard to give props??" youre being narrow minded and ignorant. im actually from LA and grew up listening to the same shit too but i grew up and decided hey let me expand my horizons and see what else is out there instead of being a closeted mind.

i've made threads about Casey Veggies and Dom Kennedy in the past. I made a discussion thread about IamSu's album and no response, I created a thread about Jhene Aiko's latest album and barely got any response, lol. just this week I made a thread about Yowda being signed to MMG and I got like 0 response lol (it's all good i'm used to making threads that bomb lol). YG's album has been discussed at length though, and there was a thread for DJ Mustard's album. I check Shawn Chrystopher, Polyester the Saint, Jay305 whenever they drop something
the same old "washed up" comparison is silly though, the music that dropped in the 90's was definitely timeless and still needs to be discussed cause that's the principle of this forum and because unreleased shit from that era emerge regularly, that's what put it together and there's no reason to NOT discuss it because the coast is on the rise again (artistically), I think everything can and needs to be discussed, even what you consider washed up rappers.

thats what i mean though, you get minimal responses about these new guys when who knows where their career might lead to, might lead to something big or might lead to become the next jayo felony or something. its all about the westcoast though or else this place should be called 90sdubcc. i love seeing these new cats on the rise and showing everyone that the west aint dead. plus they put out some fucking bangers that make me go woah

The only NEW artist i cared about was Bangloose & his career died, because nobody supports new rappers. so i said fuck it. Plus these new rappers will never be on that legendary movement that the old rappers where, whether they from East,West,South,Midwest Coast. example from the east coast they will never be a b.i.g., nas, jigga, ll cool j, dmx, busta rhymes, rakim, epmd, Public Enemy, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, WuTang, Big L, Mobb Deep etc etc etc.

the only new artist I fucks wit from the west is GQ

Fredde Gibbs and Big K.R.I.T. are the closest we'll ever get

-

-

no, there's only sites like Dubcc that tear the new artists down
-

-
Big fan of Odd Future here; will be interesting to see what music direction they take as they mature both artistically and literally.

love this song, it's like Terrace Martin & Kev Brown got together and dropped a hell of a beat
https://www.youtube.com/v/4smLYUOlkUE

https://www.youtube.com/v/wdyrcBgBICY
cool little video and excellent song, lol @ them playing the nes though
-
he should be dropping a new album soon, hes got some new singles out, they bang for sure.
-
a newer westcoast rapper that should never be mentioned though is tyga. ol dookie ass rapper, fuck him, everyone else is money though.
-
I fucks with YG heavy, been supporter of OF (especially Mellowhype) since Bastard, 100s since Ice Cold Perm (but now he's over with music), Skeme is cool, never got into Nipsey, Dom or Casey.
I'm really digging Vince Staples ever since I heard him on Earl's recent singles - Blue Suede is a banger. Other than that I think everybody is at least neutral towards the whole TDE camp.
If I want to listen to new artists I know where to go but I come here because there isn't any place in the world I can go to read/discuss opinions, reviews on artists that are "washed up". I don't know, I like it here and how things are. I guess if I really want to talk about new artists I'd go to reddit on hiphopheads or reactivate my account on the KanyeToThe forum.

c-dubb....i post his slaps on here and cats never peep, even tho he pays homage to all the vets and is heavily influenced by nothin but west coast legends. sad.

Are any of them good? Dom can't rap, Odd Future was a one trick pony. Haven't heard of the rest.

C-DUBB FTW

From the newers (from 2010, maybe earlier) I found me K-Capital & Tha Hookstah (CPT), Cuzzy Soprano (LBC), C-Siccness (San Diego). Give em a spin!
And also bumpin now Big Tone & Lil Coner (Bay Area). But they from 00s. Big Tone can be called a vet already i think. This is for the west heads! 8)
-
these new corny gang banger rappers are wack. its 2014, that shit is corny now, time to move on.
-
2013 was the year of Kendrick, while YG & Mustard had 2014 pretty much on lock - now we're in 2015, so who do you got to make some noise from the West mainstream-wise? :)
I got my money on Dom Kennedy as the "West Coast Next Big Thing" 8)
But I'm still waiting to hear some good music from the newcomers like Nipsey, Problem, 100's, Hopsin, Polyester Tha Saint, Fashawn, Mann, D3 Tha Rockstar, J. Stone and couple other cats :)
