I know some people will want more, but on the real, these are the only ones I think deserve to be up here. So who you think is the best to ever be from the west.
-
Makaveli Tha Don
-
I aint gonna vote cause its a hard decision but MC Ren shouldnt be on that list.Yes,he's a rap legend for the simple fact he was in N.W.A. but other than that,I dont see why he'd deserve to be on a list like this.MC Ren cant be compared to Snoop,Cube & so on.
-
Too $hort > MC Ren
As an artist I would put Dr. Dre as the top dog. Almost everything major that happened on the West Coast involved the Doc.
As an MC I would put 2Pac as the top dog not just on skills but catalogue, influence, etc.
-
B-Real, the GOAT of the WC. No rapper in westcoast history could have fucked with him. Ice Cube tried, even with Mack 10 and got fucked. B-Real, A LATINO, the greatest westcoast rapper ever.
::)
-
Any of tha liks...got more bounce and good punch lines in one song than most other vets got in an album, maybe not GOAT but if none of them are top contenders then no on deserves it
-
well Pac is the GOAT of all time of everywhere
so he must be the GOAT of the west
-
Voted: 2Pac
I'd have Too Short and The D.O.C. above E-40.
-
In my eyes it's TQ, but looking at it from an objective point of view it's either 2Pac or Snoop. You can bring up good arguments for both why they are the best from the West.
-
Eazy E should and Dr Dre should replace MC Ren and E 40 on that list...
-
Snoop Dogg
i dont care how many people are hateing on him now
you gotta admite sometime in your life he was your favorite rapper...
-
Pac, The Don Lives On
-
i vote for the young black male.....yea i agree mc ren shuldn't of been on the pole...even thou he's tight... if e-40 is on there then why isn't too short? i meen he started this bay area rap..... ???
-
did you really put Ren in there?
-
Snoop Dogg

The man who made 7 Day Theory.
Not just the greatest from the west, but the greatest period.

Where is Ice-T motherfuckers....Dont u know he is the idol of all the rappers we listen to, not only west artsit, south,east,all over the world...Fuck this pool
-
snoop dogg of course... pac is overrated imo
-
as an overall artist....Quik should be on that list, and he takes it EASILY.

Damn! That's is true. I mean it is already bad enough that some of the west coast's best artists are unknown on the east coast, but we constantly forget about Ice-T on the coast that he reps.
-
2pac

Dr. Dre

are you kidding me? too short better than ren? please. every song of too shorts is about pimpin. ren is way better.
-
cant believe im the only one who voted for 40......the real GOAT
-
Pac
-
Gotta go with Pac, and then 40-Water after that.
To clarify, I was going off of the list, if I wasn't it would easily be Quik.
-
why this list.
MC Ren - N.W.A. obviously. When Cube left, it was Ren that continued on and was the best rhymer in N.W.A. After N.W.A., he ran the underground for years.
Ice Cube - If I have to explain, please deactivate your account.
E-40 - Outside of 'Pac, maybe the greatest Bay rapper ever. 40's slang is now the norm, as 40 was the first to say seezy and use other slang now used by artist like Snoop Dogg.
2Pac - see Ice Cube
Snoop Dogg - see Ice Cube and 2Pac
why they got left out
Ice T - I almost put Ice T on here, but I don't think his albums or his career can match anyone up there. Sales aside, Ice T was good, and his career was solid, but I think of him like the Coolio, or Xzibit of the gangsta rap era. His the perfect face to put in the mainstream. But outside of that era his career was not much.
Eazy E and Dr. Dre - they didn't/don't write their own lyrics.
Too $hort - only really had two topics he touched on, money and hoes. He was good at it, his career is over 20 years and he stilll has radio hits. But not quite up to par. Like Ice T, I almost put him on the list though.
DJ Quik - As an artist, no doubt Quik should be on here. As just a rapper, well not really. I mean, Quik is nice, but compared to 2Pac and Ice Cube, I think Quik is not up there. Quik's lyrics were always his weakest point in his game, and he sometimes gets into the Kurupt Fuck a Bitch slump.
Any other questions.
-
just one - what?
-
You should have put Dr. Dre and Dj Quik in that poll. How you gona leave them out.

I'm thinking career wise rather than MC skills.
Too $hort released better albums IMO.
-
Dr. Dre... But I voted for Ice Cube, 'Pac is overrated IMO.
-
Eazy E and Dr. Dre - they didn't/don't write their own lyrics.
-
pac.
p.S - how did you make the poll ?

Hey where's the Doctor?
-

do u think Snoop never had anything written for him? Didnt Badazz write "Dippin"?
-
The D.O.C. wrote Snoop's lyrics on Doggystyle. That's why he hasn't been the same since.
-
snoop didnt write "lodi dodi" thats slick rick !!!
-
LOL atleast too short wrote his shit....
why this list.

Any other questions.
ren is tight as fuck ... but he didnt talk about alotta shit either....he talked about saying fuck the police, bitches suckin dick and about lame rappers in the game...while like u said too short also just touched the topics of money and hoes....but he also talked about the ghetto...but he was the originator of the bay....if ren is on there why cant too short be? and cube was actually the best rhymer after nwa....well this my opinion
-
ren is a legend no doubt but no way is he even top 5 from the west

Ice-Cube.
NWA to Lethal Injection.
Untouchable.

Cube and Pac are the only ones that come close for me. Voted Pac for having more variety than Cube imo. Voted Pac for getting shot several times ;)

Other than being in NWA, MC Ren as a solo artist has very little impact on the West Coast, period. He's a great rapper, don't get me wrong, but for someone to say he's not in their top 5 is very understandable. Hell, even top 20 is understandable.

This kind of thread is very very tired

2Pac...nobody else....

MC EIHT IS THE BEST PERIOD HANDS DOWN MUSIC WISE , LYRIC WISE , STYLE WISE , HOOD WISE AND !!!!!

B Real was untouchable at one point. He killed Cube, but they both dope. B is waaay underrated, Cypress are undoubted ONE of greatest to of ever graced the game.

He had a few amazing songs, like The Tower and Escape from the Killing Fields, but otherwise he dosn't come close GOAT status!

U trippin! He can be a pretty conscious rapper, 'The Ghetto' is a Westcoast CLASSIC :o

Thats a very weak rebuttle man.
Just face it, Pac is considered the GOAT by an overwhelming majority, and you can take this poll anywhere and the results would still be the same.

If 2Pac would have died, and no one would have cared, and his shit was still as tight as it was, you'd be the first one to say his the GOAT and that people underrate him. The reason so many people are 'Pac fans is 'cause his lyrics actually touch people's hearts. I mean, I love Cube, I love Too $hort, I love Ren, E-40, and all of them. But in the end of the day, no matter what mood I am in to listen to, 'Pac has a song, and 'Pac's lyrics have meaning, and are expressed with feeling. Everyone else, they are good, some like Cube, great, but 'Pac is a level beyond. And if 'Pac's death would have just passed like Eazy-E's did, or Big Pun's, you'd be the first to be outraged that people underrated him, and you'd be the only muthaphukka on your block listening to Makaveli.
