    The west is already back. With the internet I don't think any coast is going to "dominate" but the west has a lot of talent right now.

    The west was building some kinda momentum the past few years on the underground scene with black hippy and blu and all, but y'all ? it up when y'all let Lil B get some shine

    Wasn't Nipsey Hussel, Russel, whatever his name is, the west's savior?
    How did that turn out?
    LMAO!
    Only ? making noise out there is them Oddworld ? , and it's not a good look that Frank Ocean leap frogged out the closet.

    The West will rise again, the movement stalled when Death Row crumbled and Dr Dre adopted Emenim.

    Now it's rebuild time, and it's loooking good but Chicago & the Midwest is looking good too.

    his fans only exist on the internet, don't know anybody who actually listens to that guy.

    it kind of sucks because there a lot of talent out there but of course people are just going

    to focus on that idiot. he doesn't even get love in his own city. check these vids out.

    Maybe if Game stayed with Fif and kept that fan base with him. I think he lost a lot after that whole saga. But Doctor's Advocate was one of the last big mainstream west coast type style albums to drop.

    The west sound peaked in the 90's it gets no better than that. I love west music but that gangsta ? is dying out people aren't trying to hear those type of records nowadays.

    I still bump game but he's done as far a being a big time artists. Kendrick is dope though. And has real talent maybe he can bring it back a little.

    Its a whole different climate right now, but what people dont understand Cali cats are different than the rest of the country. I think cats from the west are less likely to jump at any deal and really are not trying to make mainsteam music. What I hear from the west is more comparable to early east coast hip-hop. Its not formulaic like what you hear coming from the south and east. You dont hear about cats from the west dealing with the toomps, shawty redds, lex lugers. Theyre on theyre own tip. Thats what ive always liked about the west. Theyre not a bunch of ? ryders jumping on a track with whoevers hot.

    What do jigga have to do wit this thread clown? This deranged groupie talks about jay hov more than I do

    The difference between jigga and the west coast is he stayed relevant from 96 to 2012 thats why he's a livin legend

    The west died when afeni pulled the plug on the ballerina after he was left respirator style and ya'll been irrelevant ever since
