I think the Quality in rap (any region) is down as a whole... Especially West Coast.. I would Say PSD B&B... Everyone sounds the same now a days. Whack beats, whack production... and mostly garbage lyrics. I know you all will hate on it, but Drakes album is nice... he has a variety, has some substance, along with a nice flow and good lyrics. All in all, Rap sucks... really... Sad to say, esp. West Coast... Im used to the NWA's, The RBLS, Mac Dre's, Ice Cubes, The Tay Snake Eyes, 40 in a major way, Black Superman, Spice 1, Pac, etc.....etc..... etc..... Shit no sucks, bottom line..... Actually Im gonna stop fucking with rap, seriously.... Disapointed! I think the best thing out of West is Black Hippy... Q and KL are raw... and I actually usually dont feel LA music, still dont...but shit, Bay shit is garbage. Sorry... dudes putting No Effort into it these days. There a couple of nice cats, but no Professionals anymore
Anyhow, thats my 1 cent!
