Go to this thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=2973000) in the WEst Coast forum to list the Top 4 R&B and Top 4 Rap Artists from the West Coast. I would've created the original thread here, but not all of them live in LA.

I'm not rap and r&b fans.

I only know about rock, punk, metal and pop.

No offense, but then why are you in a thread about R&B and rap? Kinda common sense. But no matter what, the West is weak when it comes to good music. The west is over with when Dilated Peoples put out their wack album Neighborhood Watch.

Snoop Dogg has REALLY fallen off nowadays. C'mon, you can do better than that. You say you like rock, punk, metal and pop, and all you can come up with for rap is Snoop Dogg? That's just plain crazy talk. I might as well go ahead and say that the best rock group ever is Simple Plan.

Yeah. Simple Plan is pretty good.

Why was Snoop Dogg really fallen off? Is Jay-Z from west coast?

Snoop dogg abandoned his roots and is making queer music with Pharell btw he did not invent the phrase "drop it like it's hot" Juvenille did in the song back that thang up and no Jay-z is not from the west coast he's from Brooklyn so if you don't know anything about rap why the hell are you posing in this thread

No. I know about rap little bit.

How Jay-Z took great trip to Roxy Threater in West Hollywood, He have song with Linkin Park together, it make new album with mixed rock and rap.

Leave me alone, I don't feel so well with you.

hahahaha, I was being sarcastic. I heard that Simple Plan shit, worst thing i've ever heard. "Have you ever..." some gay shit. C'mon now, even my punk rocker friends think they're gay. And I agree with Iggmasta. Snoop fell tha fuck off and isn't making anymore good music.

While Juvenile did the song "Back That Azz Up," technically it was Lil Wayne that invented "Drop It Like It's Hot", as heard at the end of the song -- also heard in first verse of BG's "Hot Girl."

No, not some, ALL. Every punk rocker at my school that's a dude doesn't like them. I'm guessing they're like the B2K of rock music.

Is there any black rocker or African American rocker?

Actually, if you look it up, black people INVENTED rock and roll music, if you need proof, read this: http://www.soul-patrol.com/funk/rock.htm
Heres a straight quote from the site: In my opinion, this phrase is an "oxymoron", since rock & roll was invented by Black people Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, etc) and stolen away by the likes of "Elvis the Pelvis". This makes a "rock music" by definition Black music.

Like I already said in the West Coast forum, I almost quitted listening to rap these dayz; I believe everything is so weak.
So my top 4 list of all-times would be:

NWA (every member of the team)
MC EIHT
TUPAC
PARIS

I'd put ICE-T as number 5.

That's why it's good to get into the underground or old school. Hip-hop is being ruined by bastards like Chingy.

Trust me, I read on Edge Metal maginize about Snoop Dogg. If Snoop Dogg don't doing well with hip hop then he will change his way. He is interesting on heavy metal music, part type of rock. He will become first black metal. He is still part of hip hop too.

That's fine, If you don't believe me.

It may be but I don't care. He always was a West Coaster since the beginning; I am talking about the Digital Underground times.

I'm totally down with you.
Remember how Hip Hop was really tough and hardcore back in the day?
"Amerikkka's Most Wanted", "Death Certificate", Eiht's "We Come Strapped" that had the first double "beware" stickers in the entire rap history that said: "THE LYRICAL CONTENT CONTAINED ON THIS ALBUM SOLELY EXPRESSES THE VIEWS OF THE ARTIST..." in addition to the usual "PARENTAL ADVISORY"... lol lol
The 80s and the 90s gave us powerful stuff.

I know man, NWA was real and raw with it. You know somethings wrong when Roy Jones Jr. and Britney Spears take a chance on the mic. It's gone from the Ghetto to straight Hollywood. There needs to be more realness, rawness. Money can really change a person.

Sometimes I think there was more "freedom" back in the day.
Rap was at the start, there was nothing, there wasn't a "commercial role model" to follow yet, people like Ice Cube did what he wanted to did, told what he needed to be told.
Was it all about different times then? "Less" money to earn?
I like dudes like Paris, who never gone astray.
And one of my favourites is still Geto Boys' Scarface.

I believe pac was originally from Oakland but moved to LA.

And Snoop Dogg sucks now. All he says now is S N Double O P, D O Double G blah blah blah. And Not only did Lil' Wayne come up with Drop it like its Hot but he also started the onomatopoeia Bling Bling.

Tupac was born in Brooklyn.
But like I said, it doesn't mean nothing; he always represented the West.

He was in Oakland before he moved to LA, but he wasn't born there.
