SOHH LEFT COAST -

How the West Was Lost #1

Posted on January 15, 2008 10:00 AM

This post is numbered because this should really be an ongoing conversation. Not like you cookie cutters have it every day in the comments section, but with real intellect and arguments made from reality. We're not blind. There's a lot of great music coming out of West Coast artists, but it has hardly had a commercial impact since the early-'90s. We'll keep investigating why, but remember, let's just keep it civil.

l_0a991767ea0aaab7dc3b2be3562d7a92.jpg

As far as I'm concerned there are five reasons why the West's relevance isn't what it was:

(1) Nationalization of West Coast radio by Clear Channel and other conglomerates
(2) Lack of business foresight by West Coast pioneers
(3) Bad Karma (you know who you are)
(4) Globalization via the internuts
(5) Cookie cutter fans who demand that artists stick within that bass-heavy '92 gangsta rap format but still expect something new and different

This post is about #5. Giving new artists and, most importantly, new sounds a fair shot and the right support (when they deserve it) are the only way that regional sounds survive. New York rap used to push its sound every few months and up until the domination of ringtone rap, so had the South....but the West? There is no support for new sounds. So, with this diatribe right here, I ask you to listen to Blu. An artist who's lived all across Los Angeles and made plenty of Okayplayer noise in 2007. It ain't bass-heavy '92 gangsta rap, but it is his own sound.

"Love Don't" is one of two lead singles from his upcoming album with Detroit producer Ta'Raach, coming soon.

  • Despite this blog finally having a revelant topic, I think Craig has the Claps is still sugar coating the issue at hand. Only 5 reasons nigga?. . . shit I could give you bitches a million reasons as to why nobody fucks with you West Coast Faggots. But I'll play nice and keep Craig has the Claps wishes and just stick to the topic!!!


    Yes it true the West has been using the same old sounds since the Chronic. It's bad enough that you nigga are 3 hours behind with time zones and shit but I'm starting to think that Cali Bud has you niggaz stuck in the 90's. Fuck the 90's I mean 80's because you niggaz is still rapping over the same drums of "More Bounce to the Ounce" by Zapp. Just look at the way yall niggaz dress. You West coast fruits have been wearing the same Janitor's uniform since 91. Driving the same old ass cars since the 60's and still wearing the same sneaker Dr J learned how to slam dunk in. Like I said I could go on & on like Ms Thangs mother sucking dick but you get get the point.

  • West Coast is whack...all them niggaz do is rap about weed, gangbangin', and bitches....they are worse than East Coast.....what is so funny is that west coast niggaz look at Gayme is the savior of the West....but dude is garbage, he can rap yes....but what he raps about is empty as hell, and his constant infuation with Dre, 50, G-unit, Easy-E is getting sooooo fucken boring...Snoop has lost any credibilty, especailly with that whack ass Sexual Seduction, that sounds like some bullshit you'd hear in those all-white malls across America......Ice Cube is good, but that nigga is too focus e of Hollywood....Dr. Dre is joke.....he is the Puff Daddy of the West Coast......anit no one making no noise off that label.......he has all that talented and anit dong shit to promote anyone (Joel Ortiz where you at?!?!?!?!).....BWS is joke too....that is the new Death Row label.....not one single artist of Gayme label is coming out...all them muthaphukas will ever be is weed and gun carriers...and mixtape rappers.....
    And people hold on to Pac like white folks hold onto Elvis.....GIVE IT UP!!! Plus what's so funny he is not even originally from the West coast, neither is Ice-T.....

    Yall niggaz is funny!!!

  • yo one the west coast started getin selfish when they was on top. especially snoop with that c-walk shit. "this goes for all the kids and the R&B Sangers nigga quit crip walking if you aint a gang banger" stupid shit like that. when snoop signed to no limit made the south emerge and callabing with jd. which is a horrible fucking producer by the way. west coast rappers talk about the same shit, nigga every body talks about the same shit. the gayme is fucken wack. rass kass is way dope. hyphy is fucken stupid and annoying.

  • basicallly a lot of what was said in the first post, plus the lack of the target market being technology friendly has a lot to do with it. I work with artists and producers on marketing mainly and that is a big problem. No Def Jams, No Colombia's and I am talking about exclusively regarding the Bay. Plus the southern region and the northern region are like 2 separate countries. It's a myarid of problems but me and others are working on the solutions. 2008 will see the beginning of that change. I guarntee it.

  • Base heavy music is our culture, that's why yall region gangsta rappers, dont move units. we like that gangsta shit, that gorrila zoe shit was not gangsta, that's why he did not move units, young bloods dont have that bass heavy, that's why they fell off. PAC had to leave the east because they had some hatefull fag on the eastcoast, and had much love on the west, because he knew we are some real nigga out here unlike bitch nigga out there. pac had love from the bay to la, the only eastcoast rapper we knew was real. So he came to real spot of the region, the mighty westcoast. yall other region rappers, wish yall can do pac, and dr dre numbers. it does not look like 50 going to make it................lol

  • big jay from the bay says...
  • dr dre is why west coast rap isnt where it should be. Dr dre made west coast rap, and has abbandoned it. He barely works with any west coast artists. dr dre doesnt keep it real. also since dr dre was the founder of the west coast music, all other west coast artists just try to immitate the dr dre sound, which is just straight corny. some one new needs to come in with a whole new style for the west. also, the west was lost because all the fans are stuck thinking that no west coast artists are good except ICE CUBE DRE SNOOP and all the west coast legends. Let the new cats get some shine. there is some great talent in the west coast. THE GAME, JAY ROCK, JUICE, BISHOP LAMONT, DUBB, GLASSES MALONE, YA BOY, ROCCET, HOT DOLLAR dude these cats are coming up man. but no one will let them shine. but really what the west needs is a BRAND NEW producer who changes the style up, and a rapper who is not affiliated with dre at all who drops a straight classic. any ways west aint dead LAX is droppin soon homie.

Its a shame too there are so many talented rappers that get no play. If i was a rapper independent would be the way to go, but that plays into the fact that u get no radio play. It almost seems like a lost cause.

  • We do gangsta rap in L.A. We will stop doing gangsta rap when the bangin in the hood stops.

    THAT OLD SHIT ABOUT EVERYBODY SOUNDING LIKE DRE - GTFOH WITH THAT TIRED ASS SHIT CRITICS HAVE BEEN SAYING SINCE 1996.

    Gangsta music is dark and vilonet sounding - that is why it resonates on the west.

    Every other region copies the sound. The bottom line is that demographics dictate the market and likelihood of success.

    Niggas in the south support southern artists. The black belt will automatically give you a large market.

    Eastcoast cannot sell units and really has done that since everybody felt sorry of Biggie and bought his shit out of loyalty.

    Niggas in the south try to pump up their region by purchasing Southern artists music.

    Whites catch on after blacks in the South popularize their artists.

    Westcoast shit still sounds the best. Westcoast mixtapes are better than Eastcoast albums. I won't even comment on the South becuase most of that shit is shitty.

  • January 15, 2008 5:32 PM
  • West Coast Ryda!!!!!!!!!!! says...
  • The reason west coast fell out of the commercial limelight, becasue the powers that be are scared of Gangsta rappers getting knowledge of self and changing the game. Tupac was uniting Gangsta's all across the united states and the powers that be didn't like that. Suge Knight had to much power, the jews couldn't touch him, he had real killas on his side and he didn't take any shit from the devil. So the top white execs blackballed west coast artist because we were to real and we didn't fear anyone. Ruthless and Deathrow was the first black rap labels to sell millions of records. Trust me 2008 and 2009 is the west coast time to shine, but we are not depending on major labels right now we go independent and on the internet. The whole music industry is going digital. We don't make songs like soulja boy, and laffy taffy. No disrespect to the South because they have some tight artist. Keep a look out for Mr. Rex, Shot Calla, Tha Dogg Pound, Meech Wells( Producer), Roccett, Strong Arm Steady, Mitchy Slick, Bishop Lamount, 12 Sanatra (Producer), Focus (Producer), Young Dre, Hot Dollar, Guerella Black, San Quinn, The Game, Spider Loc, Juice, Eastwood, Hot Rod, Ya Boy, Dr Dre (Detox), Crooked I, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, WC, Joey Brown (Pasadena Finest), The Durty Unit, Bleu Davinci (Yeah he is from Carson Ca, BMF), Scipio, and much much more artist coming out from the west coast. Dr Dre's Detox is going to set it off in 2008, and from there the West coast is taking ova!!!!!!!Mark My Word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So Stop Hatin on the Best Coast. Our new rap style is called Gangsta/ Hip Hop we are focusing on lyrics with our gangsta trademark

  • West Coast Innovates says...
  • Without N.W.A. where would rap be? Without Too Short where would rap be? No hate on the East or South, but your favorite rappers are industry bangers who copy cat from early gangsta rap, that well started here. 50 owes his career to the west, Rick Ross (whose name alone spells west coast dick rider) owes his story book fable coke dealing rhymes to Ricky Ross, Wayne, Jim Jones, and Baby owe the "blood" affiliations to the west coast. All latin rappers, would be nothing without Cypress Hill, Mellow Man Ace, A Lighter Shade of Brown and Frost. Go ahead and make jokes about "Where are they now?" But after all that, ask your self this about the sate of hip-hop without west coast influence. "where would it be?" The answer is nowhere. The West made it possible for people to eat off of hip-hop. It made it possible for the South to rise up. It made it possible fo the East to get its 10 minutes shine, with those shiny ass suits. No we can slink back into obscurity and make our money here, cause nationally it aint half like it was when west coast artists were milking the game and causing a hate epidemic over there on the east. (Jealous ass cats like Tim Dog and Luke)

  • On the real, rap is just a hobby with cats on the West. It was cool when the world was on our nuts (NWA, Chronic, Snoop, etc), but we could give a damn. Them cats was making music for the West ain't nobody was giving a damn about being relevant to y'all cats.

    Just like now, cats on the West is making music to make the West bounce and we still ain't giving a damn about being relevant to y'all cats.

    With y'all east coast cats, it's like do or die. Cats wanna be rappers on the east coast like West Coast cats wanna play pro ball.

    It aint that serious for the West.

Nigga the whole world knows you niggas is some lame ass bamas, gettin loaded off cough syrup. YOU Niggas rap about smokin OUR weed, and OUR gangs, and say WE have nuthin to rap about. NOPE, its not that. Who the fuck does houston have that isnt old as fuck?? Scarface and Bun are the ONLY Houston rappers is respect. The rest are shitwater, pure trash. Everyfuckin bama with dreads and golds who says stereotypical shit on record with a Southern accent gets deals nowadays!!! Niggas know the west is the realest, the rest of the country is true lames. We rap about gangs and weed cause thats our lifestyle, just like you houston lames who ALREADY FELL OFF only rap about drank and cars. East coast people DONT EVEN SPEAK!! You niggas is worse than the South. "
    -------------------------------------------
    this fool is wrong as wrong can be... First off, we were takin the drank back to cali with us when the Master P and E40 days jumped off.... Plus them niggas came here and f*** w/ DJ SCREW...who put em on the game... Name 1 movie based on the west coast where a nigga mentioned "DRANK" "LEAN" or anything the such... BOyz in da hood..(40oz).. Friday (KOOL AID) and there are many more... Secondly, the south music never came from us bitin gangbangin.. It aint a houston artist recording mainstream who speaks about bangin xcept ZRO an TRAE cuz they street cred certified... ASK ABOUT EM IF U WANNA...
    ----------------------------------------
    And to the editor of the blog you are highly misinformed about producers still using old drums and the such instruments... Im from the south but i love recording from west coast beats because of the bounce. The point is that i grab instrumental beats from the heavyweights... Haven't yoou heard of "JELLYROLL" or "BATTLECAT". How about "DR DRE." "DJ QUIK" "STRONG ARM STEADY". GAME album was the last album I heard that actually had a low rider in the song that i havent heard in a long time...

I have been in the streets, been shot, stabbed somebody, but, never glorified it , because a real man is not proud of that, Nor do I wan't to hear some Idiot try to glorify it. Until RAP music cuts the crap, I do not condone it nor will I buy or listen to it. Fuck you Ignorant piece's of shit whether your White,Black,Latino or any other ethnicity.

  • Since rap is from the urban neighborhoods the music reflects the enviroument. In California unfortunantly gangs rule the urban neighborhoods so kids don't have much positivity to identitify with. In the South neigborhoods like music is more creative and diverse. You do have gangs and they are on the rise but you also have gang free neighborhoods were kids don't get strong armed into ruining there lives with stupidness. It's both sad and ugly that kids in California are not taken serious when they make creative and positive music. Or party music to that effect. I think also with the gang mentality of Mexicans kids are forced to join gangs to protect there neighborhoods and when they are out and about from Mexicans in California. It's sad but true.

  • there r many problems but ur coast isnt the only one lost, im not out west and i never hear anything bout any west coasters except for snoop and game. snoop is still straight and the game, he be great if he didnt name drop in half his bars. i mean e-40 didnt get any national attention till he hooked up wit little jon to exploit the hyphy movement. white people buy the records and they dont listen to hip-hop, they listen to rap. and the record label aint gonna promote no ones songs unless they come wit a dance. the business is lost, ringtone rappers our on the decline cuz they cant sell albums any more, and hip-hop is about to crash soon because of this. w/e u do, if u wanna make a hit song u better make sure its catchy, cuz back when everyone was makin up bs dances chamillionaire came out wit ridin, a song about racial profiling wit a catchy hook, u think if it had a different hook that wasnt so simple he be platnium today. same shit wit bone thugs when they drop i tried, the people just want different material in the same formula, no dance required

  • The reasons why the west coast sucks... 1.the major labels are not checkin for the west unless your ice cube,snoop,or dre 2.the west coast are haters,and dont support each other,which is why your main three(ice cube,snoop,&dre)has only produced one young talent(the game)out of all the wanna be rappers roaming the streets of california...3.the major labels are not checkin for new artist that make music that makes u think,they want bubblegum hiphop or hiphop slash r&b,and the west coast didnt know how to do it,yall had that stupid hyphy shit but it didnt resonate nationally and number 4. The west for the most part is wack and yall aint grindin hard enough,and when yall do find dope new talent like game and jay rock,yall dont support it,yall hate on em...... P.s. im not talkin about west coast street niggas,because i can probably walk down the streets of compton and inglewood and find a regular dude that raps,and he's shittin on the whole rap game lyrically but he's just not gettin no exposure or help because yall are haters.in fact the west coast created the term player hater,hahahahahahahaha...
