West coast album of the year so far?

[Enigma]

I honestly don't feel Kendrick gets too much love on this forum - I feel it's totally appropriate. It's not just this forum showing him love - it's Snoop, Game, Dre, Kurupt, and all the other legends popping up at his show calling him the new King of The West. There's a reason for all of this. NIKCC, have you even given his albums a proper listen? His substance is so much deeper than any emcee out at the moment, forget the Westcoast, I mean period. How Brotha Lynch can be mentioned in the same sentence as Kendrick is beyond me.

Btw, checked some of your material. Was digging the Freddy song. Just for a note, if you're gonna use an acronym for "L.A.M.B.", always put a period after the final initial as well

I dunno, I think Kendrick is good, but not spectacular. I dunno if u dig Lynch's shit, but he's a NorCal legend, and his recent albums have been straight heat. Did you like "DAAM" and "CHS"?

good looks on checkin the shit out...but yea, acronyms don't always need a period at the end. remember NWA?

Do some people just not understand the positive messages in kedricks songs? He's very uplifting/trying to pave the way for the young kids. Its awesome, nobody does shit like that, game will always have 1-2 songs on an album where he's on that level. Kendrick just dropped a whole album like that. Impressive. Wish more guys would rap like that.

1. Soopafly
2. Snoop Dogg
3. DJ Quik
4. Daz
5. WC

I don't anticipate anything coming out and changing my Top 5 except maybe that 1st Generation if that ever drops

You obviously don't listen to any new Westcoast music. Everyone you named is someone that's been out for 20+ years, and then you named 1st Generation.

lol

His style obviously stands out with all the attention he's getting. I find his whole presence and delivery original as fuck, no one else sounds like Kendrick, and he has the flow and content to back it up. Each to their own though, Brotha Lynch obviously makes music that's more suited to your taste, they're completely different artists really.

I dont feel Kendrick Lamar at all, that album wasn't that great, i'd say Soopafly's new album...SHIT was flyyy! and Jay Rocks Follow Me Home, was far the best albums this year, You can't forget Doggumentary aswell much loove to snoop D O

sure i do...Mykestro, Problem, Lil Eazy E, Curtis Young, Glasses Malone, Killa Krock, Bishop Lamont, Nipsey Hustle...unfortunately, most of New West Artists that actually make West Coast Music don't have deals...I listened to Tyler, Jay Rock, The Game, Glasses, & Kendrick  but none of them would i nominate for top 5 album of the year...Tyler's album is pure garbage, Kendrick's album sounds like something Talib Kweli would make which is cool and all but im not bumping it in the ride or at the gym, Game is trying to appease the college kids which is working cause his shits selling, plus if he had used most of the tracks he leaked and wasted on mixtapes his album could have been classic, i expected more out of Jay Rock & Glasses because both of their albums were suppose to come out 6-7 years ago but both have tracks i bump regularly...to sum it ...,most New West artists don't make music for me, they trying to make what hot on the radio and whats hot at the clubs...and every artists in my top 5 makes music from their heart (even Snoop did on this record), they all said fuck radio play im making music for me and my real fans...

Doggumentary was a pretty dope album from Snoop

[Enigma]

So basically, if they don't make 90's gangbanging music, it's not "Westcoast" music?

[polepositon]
