Best West Coast Rap Albums Every Year From 1984-2014

[Free Suge Knight, Gucci Mane, & BShmurda Welcome Home Tray D]

If Kendrick had signed and blew up with J.Cole and repped North Carolina EVERYBODY would make a big deal out of it.  You can't get away with shit like that anymore.


You think French Montana would be reppin Miami if he would've signed with Maybach EXCLUSIVELY?  Yeah okay









And really you couldn't even get away with that shit in real life ever.  That's part of the reason Pac got hit and had to do so much explaining towards the Beginning  - the shit just didn't make any sense and needed a further explanation

The Fresh Prince wasn't claimin Bel-Air, that nigga claimed Philly

I guess, but Touche', so be it.  It's your world









But I actually have a small beef with Rosenberg from Hot97 too.  Silver Spring isn't D.C., but yet he claims it.  In real life you could NEVER do that.  City Niggaz would go in on you and take your lunch money n call you Champ to your face.  Without you knowing they're disrespecting you silently to your face.  If a nigga call me Champ I'll call him Champ right back immediately and watch him get caught up in himself (it's in their eyes), for those that know the history of the word anyway, which is actually alotta them



These niggaz weak foreal.  All you have to do is just mention Baltimore and you'll see how quick they act right.  I'm not even trying to be sarcastic either.  You wouldn't get a Baltimore nigga on no shit like that tho.  Them niggaz a totally different type of breed.  These City Niggaz spoiled and don't even realize it.  And they'd probably be ashamed of it too.... tho there has been some form of gentrification


Most people that were born here or stayed in the area for a while don't even move back here.  I'd almost make a wager with you on that if I wasn't hip that there's an Exception to every rule in life.  But if u professionally polled it the ratio of people who return is probably 1:10.  I'm sure y'all know somebody from over here.  Ask them yourself if they're planning on moving back here or in the area.  Don't just take my word for it









But have fun in your thread

best album in '94 from the west coast was Thug Life



but i'll take Illmatic over Thug Life

His main sound, especially in the beginning.  His main Producers outside of Eminem & Sha Money, his writing on "The Documentary", his beef with Game... His signing of Spider Loc (or can we not count that becuz he wasn't an amazing artist or on your radar?).  The fact that he was signed to Interscope (which was predominantly a West Coast based entity with some exceptions to the fact).  



I'm sure there's more West Coast related 50 Cent ties but there's really no need to go over all of that or play a childish game of hypotheticals & hypocrisies
