Title: Best non rap artist from the West Coast?
Post by: Turf Hitta on September 23, 2005, 06:03:39 AM
 I gotta say Raphael Saaqiq. Pretty much every artist from the west is overlooked and underappreciated, but its amazing how many people sleep on this man. His music is some make you feel good about bein alive music. He is one of the few artists left who makes REAL music. He reminds me of a more soul influenced Bootsy Collins. If there is a more complete artist out today I dont know about him. His arrangments are plush, thick and melodious yet he keeps it simple enough to still appeal to the casual fan. Just my pennies on that, who would yall pick?

I didnt know a lot of these artists were from the West. Since Jimi Hendrix is from the West I think he definitely has a place higher than Saadiq. Santana is the man too. Hendrix and Santana is really the only rock music I listen to. Rick James is from the West? I was always under the impression that he was from ohio or somethin.
