who took the westcoast where it is today

Come ON

YOU SHOUL BE ASKIN, WITHOUT TOO $HORT OR N.W.A WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN WESTCOAST RAP??

NWA, Too Short and Ice T without a doubt

Snoop and Pac woulda been nothing without them ^^

YOUR RIGHT HOMIE, IT WAS THA NIGGAS LIKE TOO $HORT AND MAD DRE THAT KEPT THE "REAL" WEST ROLLIN. EVEN GIVE ABOVE THE LAW SOME CREDIT. DOGGYSTYLE WAS GOOD BUT IT COULDNT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO SAY IT WAS WHAT KEPT THA WEST HOLDIN IT DOWN.

NWA (with Ice Cube) and then Too Short

the question is: Would there be an east coast or a No Limit without Tupac

Look at all the biters

Ja Rule
DMX
Master P
C Murder


Dr. Dre and NWA definately put down the groundwork for the West Coast, but Tupac perfected it, and even now we look back, and wonder how one man could have been so fuckin talented.

nwa changed the game for not only the west but the whole rap industry.

West Coast Worldwide: Ruthless, Ice T, Death Row, Too Short...

West Coast from a Bay/Sac perspective: Sick Wid It, YBB, In A Minute, Black Market, AWOL, Get Low, Dogday etc.

i agree they started it all.

I don't really think the westcoast in a literal sense was ever really represented except for 2pac. LA cats always throw up the W, but might as well throw up the SW because I see so little collaboration between nor and so cal. Just recently have I seen some LA cats rappin with the bay artists.

Eazy!

Mac Dre keep us rollin..... then E-40 is controllin it now!!!!


at least thats what i think o well we all got different opinons....

west coast will always come tight

The west was already tight but when the industry shifted coasts rappers like PAC, SNOOP, CUBE, MC EIHT, E 40 elevated it back on top please believe it.

i agree and thats all good, but some people need to be put to sleep cause they shit just tired.

Dr Dre has alwayz been the backbone to the "West Coast" sound from 84' to 2002... Dre has been the influence for producers West to East. He's been responsible for or connected with almost everything big in Hip Hop that's West Coast related ie NWA, Death Row, Snoop, etc... Dre is the West Coast.

my opinion.

Artists who put it down for the West:
CMW
Ice Cube
NWA
Ice-T
King Tee
Too Short

NWA and Too $hort for sure
