SOHH LEFT COAST
Best Of '06: The West Coast Video of the Year
Posted on December 28, 2006 2:18 AM
So my pick for the West Coast Video of the Year was a late bloomer; there weren’t a whole lot of videos that really put up any competition, but when this one showed up, it became pretty clear that the race was over.
And for the slow learners, I’ll explain it to you again; you might have your own pick for the West Coast video of the year, but this is my choice. And my choice is Snoop Dogg's “Candy (Drippin’ Like Water)”.
I’m not sure what it is about this video that does it for me, and I’m not really expecting any of you to agree with me on this choice - there’s no crazy ass theme to the video, no crazy special effects or pyrotechnics, and no Hype Williams-esque cinematography; in fact, the vide-hos aren’t even all that great-looking. But for some reason there’s just something about seeing Snoop revived out of his decade-long blunt coma that just makes my motherfuckin’ day. Take a look for yourself...
I guess it helps that the song itself is dope, and that Big Snoop brought through E-40, MC Eiht, Goldie Loc, Daz and Kurupt to kill it over a Rick Rock beat. As expected, all of them show up for the video (including Rick Rock), along with an unexpected surprise: Ladybug from Digable Planets swings through - and she’s looking a lot better with the longer hair - to lip-synch her vocal that was sampled for the hook. And if I’m not mistaken, I saw JT Tha Bigga Figga in there as well...
At any rate, lemme know what West Coast video you were feeling in oh six...

tell me when to go was the best west coast video...candy was my second favorite
tell me when to go was the best west coast video...candy was my second favorite
I have to admit that Games 'Let's ride [Strip Club]' has to be my favorite west coast video of the year ... mainly because it has an old school west coast classic vibe ... and it isn't a half bad song either ... definetly not the best song of the year from the west coast though ...
followed by Snoop Dogg's 'Candy' and yeah Tell Me When to Go was ok i guess ...
btw eighty ... thanks for reminding me ... its good to see MC Eiht still alive and rapping ... does anyone know if he has any knew cd in the works?
Peace
I SWEAR 2 GOD, E-40 HAS TO BE THE WORST RAPPER ALIVE, PERIOD!
This ni99a flow is repulsive, and he has an entire region idolizing his horrific vocals....ughhhhh
Nevertheless, the WEst Coast Vid of the year has to be Snoop & Akon "I Wanna" just my personal favorite, more eye candy than the Hershey Factory. And Game's Strip Club is a close second bcuz it did give me that old school West Coast Vibe. Real Talk!
PEACE II THE USUALS!
BROOKLYN STAND UP!
ONE BLOOD !!!
OH and BK DUDE is a punk ass trick for that
E40 comment!
E-40 tell me when to go hand down
E-40 tell me when to go ,hand down
west coast music suck ass real talk
E-40 - Tell Me When To Go. Period.
WHY WE THUGS.....ICE CUBE.....EASILY!!!!
He took it to a lot of hoods and represented wit that one, long before Game came along wit his supposedly "street oriented" video. Cube gets my vote, hands down.

Chitown playa-
You fake ass, wanna be down ass, call yo self a chitown playa but ain’t from the Chi ass, Michael Jordan dick ridin’ fair-weather fan ass, call yo self a hip-hop connoisseur but don’t know shit ass nigga!
Sit yo bitch ass down somewhere (In Suckaville, USA) punk! I still ain’t forgot how yo bitch ass be spewin’ all that unwarranted hate; you fuckin’ poodle! Ol’ sugar eyes ass nigga!
You ain’t even from the Chi, callin’ yo self “Chitown playa”. Let’s see, you ain’t from the Chi, but that’s part of yo handle; I guess it’s safe to say yo bitch ass ain’t no fuckin’ playa either. You fuckin’ weenie!
Jordan been retired for what… 3-4 years now? And you still got his dick in ya mouth bitch nigga!
Oh yeah… I like the Tell Me When To Go video.
I've never seen that video "Candy" but now that I have........it's trash.Lyric's trash, video concept....trash. West Coast video of the year....I haven't seen that Ice Cube one, but I thought that dropped last year, anywayz...DPG Cali iz active, song isn't all that, but you got EVERYBODY in the video, and it's a west coast anthem(even though it's not that tight). I think what's even better than that, (but I know won't get any love) Murs "L.A.". I'd hate to exclude my bay area peoples, who are a huge part of this west coast stuff we got popping off, or may "Daygo" folks (Mitchy Slick, Jayo Felony) But that is the best damn song to rep for L.A. since Tupac(who's not from L.A.) was alive. If you haven't seen the video, go to myspace and look murs up, or check youtube.com. Song is dope, video is dope. Hands down best West Coast video of the year.
I agree, Murs "LA" was dope but overall, DPG's "Cali Iz Active" come on that vid had EVERYONE in it. Who would think you see DJ Quik b walking with cats like MC Eiht and Evidence chilling in the background? Come on thats west coast unity.
"cali is acktive" was a acktive video. But "one blood" was waaaaay more hood wit it, and i aint never seen shit from Murs.

I tried to post the video for Mur's "L.A." Sohh Left Coast has to review all video's posted to keep people from posting Porn or whatever, so we'll see if he let's it post, if not, I'll just put a link up
....and that's why hip hop is dead. Nobody care's how much dude's record sold. To top it off, dude who posted that bs (twice) has the name "Gunitwho" keep the trivial, childish stuff we refer to as "Beef" (cuz it's not really) alive. All people focus on is sales. That's all you so-called fans focus on, so therefore, that's all the so-called artist focus on. If the artist focuses on selling records, it takes away from his focus on making good music, because all though it's possible to make good music that sells (hard but possible) It's alot easier just to make music that sells. That's why we have garbage lyric's with simple hooks, and diss records in abundance. It wasn't the south that killed hiphop, it was the focus on soundscan. Hip Hop once ruled the music world, because although it was our (innercity youth) stuff, it was so real it couldn't be denied. Everybody had to give it credit, no matter how much they tried not to, you had to. Now nobody gives a shit about hip hop, not even the people who listen to it, that's why they support the bs rap.

can you do the same thing for banks yayo and mobb.
without changing the #
NO CAUSE THEY BOTH FLOPT HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Brillyance...LA was a hot video it's definitely one of the better videos. I liked his whole album and it had real lyrics and beats on it.
Cali Iz Active
Why We Thugs were hot too but...
Tell Me When to Go was hot with the black and white look. I thought that was one of the better videos this year.
It made me miss the Bay for real.
Yea yea tht candy vdieo is the shit!
Might have to check that snoop album.
I think its stupid to even ask what is the best WEST COAST video, when is the lasts time someone asked what is the best East Coast video. The main thing that makes me laugh is because New York hasnt been putting up the numbers they used to HIP HOP IS DEAD ? Fucking hatters, Nas is overated and so is Jay Z, nobody in the West thinks either one of them is top 3, if they do they are new to hip hop. I guess because the South and the West are doing better number Hip Hop is dead right, well I hope it stays dead because I am sick of radios pushing East Coast music down our throat so we have to listen to it. To anyone who thinks E40 is garbage dont know shit about Hip Hop, E40 was saying shit 10 years ago that people are trying to pass as there own this today, you may not like his style but respect the Game.
Oh and Tell me when to go was the best West Coast Video....
Bay Ryder
RIGHT ON POINT SOLO,WE DONT LIVE THAT HIPHOP LIFE IN CALI WE LIVE REALLITY LIFES HERE WE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT RAPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OR HIPHOP,LIKE EVERY BODY IN NEW YORK THINK THEIR ALL RAPPERS AINT IT FUNNY,THEIR ALL LIKE CLONES FROM I ROBOT
yo, e 40 wasnt playin when he said he was growin some dreads....them shits is coming in...lol..
there is a tie when it comes to best left coast vid...
why we thugs...gutta as fuck
cali is active....solid ol' west coast
tell me when to go...fun wit the dreads
PAMOJA!!!
Respect game for what??? What has he done?? Sold records?? So what. Who gives a shit about selling records. When has selling records made you important to hip hop. It may make you important to MTV, or BET, or Power 106, or Hot 97, but selling records don't mean shit to hip hop. Graf Artst don't sell records. Breakers don't sell records. REAL DJ's don't NEED to sell records. Hip Hop isn't only this rap shit. People got that fucked up. This page is called So Hip Hop.We don't live that hip hop life here we live reality lifes??? Only difference between Cali and New york is the weather and the project buildings. Hip Hop is dead, not because East Coast artist aren't selling, it's dead because we're supposed to respect some dude like Game, for what reason I don't know. His raps are all fronts, he talks all this hardcore shit, but he was a stripper. He get's a butterfly tattoed on his face, which I didn't trip on, that's his choice, but then he's so bitch, he can't stand up like a man for his decisions and get's a CHANGE OF HEART and covers it with LA. I respect E40, and that video "Tell Me when to Go" was dope, but don't forget Murs, Dilated, Hiero, Planet Asia, and others. That's what I'm saying. Hip Hop is Universal, real is universal, and fake is universal, Game is as fake as a fake dude on the East Coast(ex. any bullshit battle rapper who talks guns and coke with a college degree) or a fake dude from down south(ex. bullshit rapper who talks about he's a pimp and he's a hustler when he was a janitor in high school, and had to be forced to whoop a dudes ass who was restrained after dude beat him up) I read the sohh NY dude's stuff, and I read the sohh ATL dudes stuff, and they biased as hell. The sohh left coast dude is decent, but he need to show more love on a constant basis to artist who aren't speaking on that bull, not just an occasional blog about underground dudes. Just like Little Brother said the south isn't just one thing, the West isn't just one thing.

Nice post brillyancestar, but I never said anything about respecting The Game ! When I said respect the Game I was talking about E40, and yes I have major respect for E40, that cat is from my hood and always stops to give love and give back to the hood .. Magazine St. Ryder Vallejo Ca. that how we do it in the Bay. A lot of people dont know shit about E40, all they know is his new stuff, go back and get the Federal album, or The Click, Major Way,,,, Major Way was one of the best Hip Hop Albums ever, so when I say respect the game I am talking about 40water. I could care less about THE GAME, I like his music but as far as a person he is funny to me. Oh and I agree most rappers are fronts, but E40, B-Legit, D-Shot , are real turf grinders , and ryders. Like I said I like your post you have a lot to say I respect that, but the one thing I disagree with is the college degree part, shit hommie I know plenty of Real Ballers and Killers who went back to school and got degrees, just because we come from the streets doesnt mean we have to end up here.
Bay Ryder.
E-40's you and dat... do Go... But they should have had a video for MUSCLE CARS! That would be my #1 pick.

@Brilliancestar-
If you look at older blogs, every time I try to post about some underground shit, people get stupid, not to mention indifferent.
But I still post about underground stuff fairly frequently. Stay posted.
This is garbage, Im sorry but this just aint the shit. I guess it is true about ATL, full takeover of the rap game. Atlanta owns R&B and Rap.
