Neighborhood watch is a disaster :( Charted with Kanye but thats it.
I love them though, but I thought they hit rock bottom with that release. |

Looks as though you are primarily an east coast fan. Most of it doesn't really do it for me. Notorious was tight though. Even though west coast didn't have the right message and the vocals sometimes meant jack, they had tighter beats with more melodic elements and I always preferred their flow. |

West coast had Tupac, Dre and early Snoop. That was it.
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Snoop - Doggystyle
basically sum up the g-funk era.
Other than Tupac, west coast has been very disappoiting.
Underground has a somewhat solid base over there, but it can't compare to the east.
They now have this movement over there called "hyphe" and is very similar to crunk. Bunch of 808 drums with catchy synths. No lyrcal display what-so-ever. Hopefully it never comes to the mainstream.
Also, that ****** The Game is claiming "the return of west coast" he's a in joke. His album is terrible on the lyrical. Beats are amazing though.. due to Dre and Kanye.. but The Game is doing nothing new for the industry.
West coast can find their survival only in ZION I. Only these cats can save west coast. The Game will sell, but he's not even doing anything new nor is he doing West Coast type of hip-hop. No g-funk on his "The Documentary".
P.S. If someone mentiones The Westside Connection, I'll slap them back to mothaland.
edit: along with Dre, NWA too. Cube was good in his early days too. |

east coast will always be best for me. the west was always ok (eg. i always thought nwa had hot beats and i loved the chronic and ice cube's early solo stuff), but overall i always thought it to be light years behind the east in terms of flows, content and creativity.
i dig del and the hiero crew tho and i was vibing the freestyle fellowship in like '91 and '92.
on a side note, i will never understand the respect that tupac gets -- i've generaly found him to be mediocre in every way but i know i'm in the minority; don't even get me started on those grunting barbarians from the south that dominate the airwaves today... |
