While it's probably not going to be a mainstay to the A-ton blog, I've been listening to copious amounts of west coast rap this fine Wednesday evening. As of late I've mostly been listening to artists that will be featured at the Sasquatch Music Festival which I will be attending the 29th-31st(!!!). It's been nice going back to my "roots" so to speak (I know, I know, I'm from the NW not the W, though I'd never kill for the thrill I'd cut for the cause) and just scratchin' that itch that is the dopeness of the West.
To get the jump off jumped off, a lil Ice...
Ice Cube - Check Your Self
Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day
Souls of Mischief - That's When Ya Lost (music video)
Some new blood that I've heard plenty about but have explored only in passing, Nipsey Hussel reps the West haaaard. While I don't condone his occasional use of auto tune, I do enjoy his deeply rooted, west coast beats that almost seem lost in today's glossy, pop-hop. As far as I'm concerned only time well tell if he has the staying power of the greats, but in the mean time he sure got some jams! Oh, and did I mention The Hundreds backs him? Follw sheep, follow...
Nipsey Hussle - Piss Poor
Nipsey Hussle - Ridin' Slow
Nipsey Hussle - Black Superman (Featuring Smoke & Numbers)
Nipsey Hussle - Hussle In The House
Aaaaan right back like a yo-yo, some old cuts again
Above The Law - Black Superman
Cypress Hill - Dr.GreenThumb (uncensored)
Cypress Hill - Illusions
Probably one of the Doctor's sickest songs, Keep They Heads Ringing features one of my most favoritest beats eva.
Dr. Dre - Ring Ding Dong
Dr. Dre Featuring LL Cool J - Zoom
Another dash of new schooler...
Fashawn - Hey Young World (Ft. Aloe Blacc & Devoya Mayo)
Fashawn - The Score (feat. Planet Asia)
Oh and this guy? Yea I guess he kinda West Coast too... Arguably one of his best album's, Doggystyle will always hold a special place in my heart.
Snoop - Who Am I ( what's my name?)
Snoop - for all my niggaz and bitches
Snoop Dogg - Pump Pump
Aaaah, feels good don' it?
