DJ Mustard Says West Coast Hip Hop Was Dead Before He, YG Broke Out

[Foul Mouth]

P.S. The West was indeed dead and in fact still is even with DJ Mustard. Because the last and only time the West was really relevant, at this point more than 15 years ago, it had a distinct sound, and it was having that sound that made it relevant. Without a signature sound you can have individual rappers blow up, like Kendrick Lamar, The Game before him, etc., but you can never really talk about the region being on top of the rap game.

i think artists need to stop worrying about bringing up a coast and focus on bringing up themselves.

not one west coast (hip hop) producer (that ever made any noise) has kept one signature style. Dr. Dre had a different style with WCWC/NWA (w/ Cube)/NWA (w/o Cube)/The Chronic. if he didnt change his styles, he wouldnt gone no where him self.
