In new york all the rappers proclaim themselfs king of new york,talk about los angeles.....who's the king?????
For me......Dr.dre.
-
Snoop Dogg is the King of Los Angeles.
*Dr. Dre would have always been the King but I see him more of as a producer than a rapper.
-
Xzibit. He deserves the crown as the most skillful/talented West coast MC.

I totally agree with you. Xzibit deserves the crown for sure but back in the day doggstyle/chronic days it was snoop i think.
-
Ice Cube baby
-
it has to be the BIG SNOOP DOGG. I think he will never lose the crown until he passes away.
-
2Pac was...
Dre is the biggest in the WC industry.
-
CJ Mac...lol na....nobody is the king of l.a. in my opinion....snoop is close....dre too....skills wise...crooked i....but really nobody can carry the crown in my opinion....crazy CJ Mac...lol

well snoop is from L.B. .. but sure...
-
even though 2pac aint from L.A. he showed lotsa of love towards L.A. And everyday, there hasnt been a day that i dont hear someone bumping 2pac. so 2pac is the king of L.A
aint Xzibit from New Mexico? He dotn even rep L.A
-
aint Xzibit from New Mexico? He dotn even rep L.A
LOL.... Xzibit reps the west side, Los Angeles. ;)

i'm not where xzibit actually hails from.. but check this (fresh in my mind since i bumped it for the first in a long time yest)
"where you can find me and mines -- Los Angeles Times
Welcome to L.A."
"Xzibit - Los Angeles Times" from the 40 dayz and 40 nightz album
-
Personaly.....
I don't think this title mean's much.
The "Westcoast" should not play this game, we should just leave it in Ny.
Let them bragg & spitt King in every song.
There is to much going on out here in the WEST, to even have time to think about a blind title like the King of a coast.
But this is a tight topic, Cause I would like to see who yall' consider the king.
Peace

Xzibit was born in Mexico, but represents the west coast.

none of those cats are even from LA....snoop, dre, xzibit 2pac, none of them are from LA so u cant crown a king of LA...crown the west coast king 2 be snoop muthafuckin dogg tho straight up...dre cant be king because he aint realy a rapper...dre does alot for the westcoast dont get me wrong, but king, naw....and xzibit is tight but he aint on snoops level...just my 2 cents ;D
-
Xzibit was born in Mexico, but represents the west coast.
Actually I believe he was born in Detoit, Moved to New Mexico & later moved to la. Correct me if I am wrong?
-
you right homie
-
EAZY-E

the King of LA...
nowadays it should be that OG Ice Cube
or Ice-T ( but he ain't from LA though... )

DJ Quik.
His music, style and personality represents LA more than any other artist i can think of right now.

I'm from Southern California, big I.E., and we get L.A. TV, L.A. radio, L.A. weather report, L.A. everything. So I think I can honestly say SNOOP DOGG!!!!!! Oh and it ain't king of L.A., it's king of the Westcoast, 'cause L.A. and Oakland is not a rivalry, Oakland is the big homeboys up north, and gave us the great westcoast king ever, 2Pac.
Back in 1988, easy as Eazy Does It. 1991, Fuck You Ice Cube. In 1993 Snoop Doggy...Doggy... DOG. 1995 to 1997, 2Pac. (yes I'll give it to him after death, 'cause no one else had it) Then the throne was empty until 2001 came out, and Dr. Dre busted out with a reunition with Snoop. But Dre was never one for the spotlight, but Snoop is a pure superstar. Snoop was on Power 106 24/7, always on the Big Boy show. Snoop had his own radio show on 100.3 the Beat. Snoop was fuckin' all over the place. He made peace with the Crip gangs in the L.A. area, and kicks it with the Rollin' 60's, the largest L.A. crip gang. Snoop is on the streets, and in the radio. This makes him the undisputed King of the Westcoast. L.A. version at least. I know the Bay gots they own thing going too. But L.A. and the Bay share the Raiders, and we have shared kings, so it's all good. But Snoop is. Until either Snoop stops rapping, or Xzibit get the crown and runs with it, then we'll see. Xzibit I think will be the next king of the westcoast, but right now, Snoop Dogg, no questions ask. L.A. is his town, we love him, I don't know one person in L.A. that don't respect him. Suge can't get him, as the Crips out number the bloods 3 to 1. From streets to radio, Snoop.

You god damn right!!!!
L.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
To all the people saying Long Beach and Compton are not part of L.A. are right in a sense and wrong as well. They are part of Los Angeles County which is considered the Los Angeles area. It's the same as Brooklyn, the Bronx, Long Island and Queens is part of the whole New York Metropolitan area. I guess Biggie is King of Brooklyn and not New York. And Nas is only King of Queens.

i'm from Los Angeles jr. (Bakersfield's nickname) and like it or not Snoop Dogg is Commandor & Cheif of this muh fucker. when snoop started talking about wearing chucks and how OG that was....everyone here started doning it (with the fat laces and folded down tounge..like me ;D ) Every og here wears his clothing brand or wear those serial killer shirts, that have him blazing up on them, has them (i have a couple of the serial killer ones) Every one at LEAST uses or says his lyrics/style of talk when they talk...even all the preps/skaters/ect. and a whole lot of other shit that would take up half of this thread
so like it or not Snoop prett much has the whole southern region of california monopolized
there's better artists like xzbit, ras, and shit , no ones doubting that i don't think, but everyone around here likes snoop in one way or another
-
Can u describe the serial killer t-shirt?
-
it dont matter where the fuck u were born. its where the fuck u be reppin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Was and always will be Eazy E
-
Can u describe the serial killer t-shirt?
i've seen two.
theres one which has that "stoner" picture of snoop myrealname had on his profile.
theres another with snoop+dre point guns taken from the 'up in smoke' mini-movie.
-
Actually I believe he was born in Detoit, Moved to New Mexico & later moved to la. Correct me if I am wrong?
You're right... but he REPRESENTS the west coast.
-
Bigg Snoop Dogg ;)
-
Doc muthafucking DRE ;D

commercially, Snoop cuz he's everywhere and when people think of the west coast rap scene, they only think of the West Coast Monopoly (Snoop, Dre, Cube, Xzibit), which is pathetic. The only way a west coast artist can blow up nowadays is if they are associated with the West Coast Monopoly or just release pop/rap records. from a music standpoint, DJ Quik cuz his music has always been banging, I still bump "Quik is the name" once in a while. Some can say Eazy-E and Cube are the Kings because they put West Coast rap on the map. Pac can also be considered because for his time on Death Row, he brought attention back 2 the west. Of course, a true west coast king would have to represent the Bay as well, and not everyone from the Bay might choose Snoop to be the king, especially since Snoop bit their slang and went on tv and said it was his own.
All these people may claim the music part of King, but overall, as someone mentioned earlier:
Suge Knight. ain't nobody fuckin' with him.
-
*a true west coast king would have to represent the Bay as well, and not everyone from the Bay might choose Snoop to be the king, especially since Snoop bit their slang and went on tv and said it was his own.*
You are ignorant:
1)The "izzle" thang comes from the jazz music,it's a slang used back in the days in the jazz scene,so....the bay area has not invented that kind of slang!
*Pac can also be considered because for his time on Death Row*
2)His time on death row?He did 2 albums on death row,all eyez on me is one of his tightest album,but not the best.....
same thing for Makaveli.
Me against the world was and still his best album,a classic, and is previous works are tight too.
*commercially, Snoop cuz he's everywhere and when people think of the west coast rap scene, they only think of the West Coast Monopoly (Snoop, Dre, Cube, Xzibit), which is pathetic.*
Pathetic?Suge knight is the only one pathetic these days, always talkin about dre-snoop with nothing new from his label.....greatest hits,unreleased and shit like that.
Suge is a dumb ass ceo.

1. I wasn't talking about the izzle thing, I knew that. He went on BET and said he created "Pleasebelieveit" as one word. I also meant by that statement that the Bay and Sacramento area probably has other people in mind, such as E-40 or Brotha Lynch Hung, who've been in the game a long time and who haven't sold out or given a fuck about how much they sell, just as long as they make music for their fans, something Snoop hasn't done for a while.
2. before his time on Death Row, did u see Pac throwing up the dub in his videos of see him throwing the dubs up in pics before he went to death row? When Pac was on Death Row, he represented not just Death Row, but LA as well, examples include "California Love" and "To Live and Die in L.A."
3. where in that part of the West Coast monopoly did I bring up Suge Knight? once again, you misread what I said. What I as going for was that it's pathetic that the only West Coast artists that can come up are ones who are down with Dre and Snoop. Look at the East coast, you got people like Fabolous who just come out of nowhere and have a #1 video. Ask yourself this, would Knoc-Turn'al's video be played on MTV everyday if he WASN'T down with Dre or Snoop? would some of us have ever given a fuck about Hittman if he wasn't down with Dre? The answer to that is no. The West Coast Monopoly is holding back a shitload of talent from the west. Shit, Snoop's holding back people from his own label. His artists know that they won't sell shit on Doggystyle, which is why Tray Deee, Soopafly, and Goldie Loc have either released or about to release solo albums not on Doggystyle.
about Suge Knight, now that Suge is out of jail, don't expect to see any non-2pac old death Row material released ( infact, a lil bit of Pac news I might as well throw in, Crooked I's album is dropping before the new 2pac album). Suge is a businessman, and some of u might not believe this, but he knows what the fuck he's doing. Just to throw this in, what king of the West coast would be scared of someone supposedly lower than him?

actually all those words e-40 and the whole bay area in general didn't coin ANY of thoe terms, my mom was saying all that shit in the 60's and 70's and they came from LA and Chicago snoop's just useing the words he grew up with same with e-40 who's full of shit saying he made up those words like 'feddyoka' and stuff, and e-40 makes probably the same quality music as snoop btw
2. before his time on Death Row, did u see Pac throwing up the dub in his videos of see him throwing the dubs up in pics before he went to death row? When Pac was on Death Row, he represented not just Death Row, but LA as well, examples include "California Love" and "To Live and Die in L.A."
actually yes he was respresenting the west side on 2pacolypse now and stricktly for my niggaz, and in 94' was repping it STRONG on mtv footage BEFORE he went to the row, i'm not hating but that was a REAL ignorant statement that makes you look oblivious to pac's career

you just contradicted youself saying the only way somone on the west can blow up is by getting with dre and snoop , then saying that their holding people back. ok wtf....i'm sorry if you hate that but the reason why this is so is becuase the 'monopoly' is the ony ones moving forward and creating new shit, instead of using old formulas like every other artist on the west....people don't wanna hear tired gangsta rap no more....they need artistical direction.....and as for tray dee and goldie and soopafly releasing other albums.....those are albums made BEFORE dogghouse that snoop doesn't want to release...and all 3 are working on dogghouse solo projects....quit hating and stoping seeing crooked and acting oblivious

I never said it wasn't part of the South Central area.
but u said comptons not L.A....south central LA is the "southern part" of LA
-
but u said comptons not L.A....south central LA is the "southern part" of LA
Compton in essence is it's own city. When you drive into Compton it says welcome to the city of Compton not Los Angeles. Same with Long Beach, Inglewood, Carson, and Lakewood. It isn't part of downtown L.A. which is considered the "real" Los Angeles. Compton is it's own district/city in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
-
Brotha Lynch... king of something... i'm not sure what but damn hes tight as fucc..
-
about the whole compton issue
compton is really a city unto itself, but is apart of LA too
it's like this ,California is apart of the USA but it's a state unto itself
