Alright i just ment like the westcoast should bring a new sound without trying to sound like everyone else. i dont care if its popular or not. i love the gfunk sound but i wouldnt mind hearing something new but that doesnt mean they have to do what mtv bet wants and have that sound everyone else has now adays. What i love about the west is the funk influence in the beats. i think by trying to sound like everyone else they arnt gonna blow up if thats what wants to happen. they need to bring something completly new. also unity not enough of it. i dont think westcoast rappers have to spit about gangsta shit but when they do over south beats it dont sound right with there flow. so id like to hear a new flow that matchs some hard new style beats <snip>
also to the artists that were just mentioned only one good there is crooked i. ya boy? not only is that name stupid as hell so are his lyrics and so are his beats. i cant see him blowin up. if people wanna blow up they either need credit already or something totally new or promote the hell out of themselfs.

The rap artists of yesterday grew up on funk, soul, jazz, etc (real music), so they had a completely different influence back then. Today a lot of rap dont even sound like music, just noise over drum patterns and I think that has a lot to do with a lack of real musical influence. If there is gonna be a new sound in rap, its gonna take for real musicians to create it, not some all in one "producer" with a synth and a software loop program.

5-6 years strong for funk? you must be crazy. there is so many styles of funk just like there is rap/hiphop.. from 50s - 89/90 funk was around and strong. from james brown to chuck brown to parliament to prince to gap band to zapp & Roger and so many others. also in 87 funk was still strong cause they had a label called budweiser same as the beer but was owned by don king he had contests held in every major city and each winner had a 12 inch put out. theres 1000s of these rare 12inchs around. even still people still have funk george clinton parliment just droped an album this month. also to me funk evolved into rnb. for instance gap bands charlie wilson went from funk to singin rnb. he evolved from funk into the rnb. but rap isnt going anywhere either but im ready for the next style already. i hope that whatever it is they have listened to lots of music from the past. i think artists need to understand more about music history and producers too and not just makin stupid beats. i wouldnt mind hearing more instruments in there too.
