Honestly, with all the naysayers of the west saying that.."west has no talent.." or "people on the west aint talkin about shit..." get my drift?
all them niggas is ringtone fans. since the early stages, west coast has put out heavy hitters.
take gangsta dresta and bg knoccout for example, i consider them amongst the best lyricist, writers, rappers, and most potent flowers in the game, they got remote recognition.
and i dont even need to mention mitch because hes a perfect example of this unfairness.
why hasnt quik and e40 been all over bet and mtv and vh1? ice cube and ice t is smart, them niggas went and started acting.
i understand that a lot of niggas just got a REAL west coast flow, like niggas in the east got they little "yo yo son" flow, and niggas in the south got they little "mayne my teeth is shinnin" dirty south flow. studies show if you dont break out that coastal sound you wont break out the underground.
got damn it, it pisses me off when niggas talk about the best artist, notice 3 times out of ten, someone would recognize.....eazy e. 10x of 10x they will only mention biggie and pac. those niggas is tight, but they as well as every other rapper probably would have taken an entire diff approach to their game if it wasnt for eazy e/nwa.
and you mean to tell me that some little kids callin themselves jerks and wearin siz1 jeans get all the air play, club play, etc play they want? im not hatin on the niggas but they are kinda the light of the west coast to the invisible eye. and you cant deny it.
point is, excluding the few typical successes[game,snoop,dre,??? cant think of anyone else of the top of my head]
west coast simply gets no love. im not sure if niggas is intimidated by us, hatin on us, thinks rappers from the coast are too risky, or just dont respect us any more. now i know we get a little love here and there but with all the talent we got we should be running the game, underground and mainstream.
What more does the majors want?
