What rappers can you name that you feel have a west coast style of rap? I wouldn't mention the ones like 50 who may just talk about thug shit, but the ones that if you didn't know anything about them and you heard em rap, you'd think they were from the west. I wouldn't mention Kurupt, Xzibit, or any of the rappers who moved here but they claim to be west coast. Also, say where they are really from.
-MC Breed - I have only heard Future in ya front, and I used to ALWAYS think he was from LA. I even thought he was sayin he was from NHC because he was like "Now I got dollaz in my pocket, I'm from rollin" but he's from Flint, Michigan
-Kriss Kross - I have heard people call em Snoop Dogg clones, and in their style, they did sound a whole lot like Snoop on some songs. I won't front though, their last album "Young, Rich & Dangerous" was hot as hell. They are from Atl.
-Da Brat - I have also heard a few people say she was a bit of a Snoop Dogg clone, and I do think that her style sounded a bit like his. She's from Chi.
-Lady of Rage - She was considered a west coast rapper because of who she rolled with, but she even said she was from Virginia. She definitely rapped west coast as hell though.
-
DFC... Bree's brother and another guy, their album Things In Da Hood is a g funk classic!
Quo... some kids, think they came out around the same time as Kriss Kross, had a lot of westcoast beats on their album...
that's all i remember now...
-
Bone Thugs - They came out with their own style but it fitted with the Westcoast style at the time, plus they were with Ruthless, so people assumed they were from the west, even tho they repped Cleveland in the songs.
Lil Flip sometimes sounds a lil westcoast to me.
Master P in his old days made some westcoast shit.
As far as Kriss Kross and Da Brat, JD just copys whatever was popular at the time.
-
Bone - man even thought the repped E. 1999 and St. Clair, Cleveland they were closest to the westcoast style even though they had their own. Also, they came up with Eazy-E and they were on Ruthless a westcoast label.

Yeah, "Young Rich and Dangerous" was hot!! Especially "Some cut up", the first track...that beat is FIRE. Shame it is that short.
-
bone thugs in their early albums sounded very west coast
-
Bone Thugs dont sound West Coast at all.
I used to think Mc Breed was from the West up until next year. Other then that. Scarface seems West influneced.

I agree with the choices of Bone Thugs, Da Brat, Kriss Kross, MC Breed, and the Lady of Rage based on what everyone else said.
Anyone remember a female rapper named Boss who was from Detroit I believe. She had a song with AMG called Mai sista issa bitch or something like that.
-
I was thinkin BONE, because they definitely just seemed west coast. But they didn't have a west coast style or accent, even though they didn't really have a Cleveland style either.
Ey, was MC Breed's album good? I only heard that one song from him, I've NEVER heard anything else he did, unless I just didn't know it was him. But KDay is makin that shit a classic because they play it alllll the time.
-
50 CENT HAS A WESTCOAST INFLUENCED STYLE AND FLIPPED WIT EASTCOAST SLANG HE'S STILL WACK THO

I remeber Boss, tha bitch was sicc. I have a couple of her albums, she did a collab with Spice-1 and AMG, but my favorite shit is Run Catch and Kill, I was on a another site and that she been laying low because she had kidney faliure and is on dialais but they said she's makin a comeback and is in the studio to drop another album. Get Well Boss

Definitely Bone.

He had that song "Gotta get mine" with 2pac, and he also had a song with MC Eiht, I can't remember the name of the track. It's easy to think he's from the west, he was always working with west coast rappers.
-
Chingy got a westcoast flow and voice
-
yeah 50 do sound West Coastish, mainly cuz of Dre's beats.
Ja Rule - he always show love to Cali
2Pac - you can tell he got his style from the West
oh, and of course Eric Sermon
-
my choice would be Scarface, Gheto Boys had a westcoast feel to it.
-
2Pac - you can tell he got his style from the West
Thats cuz he is westcoast
-
i use to think scarface was from the west when i was younger
same with bone thugs
and i never knew lady or rage wasent from the west lol
-
anybody from the east that blew
-
jim jones
-
Chingy got a westcoast flow and voice
disrespectful to the West
2Pac - you can tell he got his style from the West
Thats cuz he is westcoast
he's from New York buddy
-
I forgot to mention...Lil Bow wow and Lil Romeo definitely rap with a west coast style. We all know Romeo was just a product of his dad's money and he wasn't much of a rapper, but Bow Wow was actually decent as far as his flow and devliery goes. I was just watchin the video for "Let's get down" with Jazze Pha and he definitely rapper like he was from the west on it.
-
DMG definitely had a west coast style.
I used to think he was a west coast rapper before found out he was from the mid west.

slimm thug
big gipp (from goodie mob)
mr mike (from suave house)

Whats your point? Xzibit is from Texas. Roscoe is from Philadelphia. Kurupt is not from the westcoast either.
2pac moved to Marin City, CA when he was 17 and thats where he started hustling and learning how to rap, which he formed his first group called Strickly Dope with ray love.

thanks for the life story.
Kurupt & Roscoe both repped the West since they came out. Xzibit started usin the West as his gimmick to blow up since he was fuckin with Dre.
Pac only came out with all that Westside shiet cuz the West was hot. Listen to his first 4 albums, he wasnt screamin out Westside then. all that Westcoast shiet and beef with Biggie was all for publicity.

Yeah, he repped Bay Area in general from 1988 to 1995.
Then when he joined Deathrow in 1995, after suge posted bail, he bought a house in Malibu and repped basically the Westcoast in general(mostly LA) until his death in september of 1996
