Imma be honest I don't think it's even gonna last till December

Musically and Culturally I do not think they are there as a collective

Definitely not on a level of a East Coast or Down South

No knock either. I f*** with the West. But I see this more so as a flash in the pan over a sign of things to come.

I just can't see Mustard beats n Sharked Drakeo flows taking over the culture

DJ hed was on social media yesterday saying he had a convo with Kendrick n it looks they gon run it for the rest of the decade

But I ain't seeing it

they arent even running it so

You can’t really say they running s*** when it’s only 1 guy popping lol

The "west coast" "running" s***:

kendrick n tyler alone packing all yall out especially the east LMAO

It’s just Kendrick and Tyler from that commercial standpoint of running rap

Always it’s BTS

SZA and Doechii are basically west coast since theyre on TDE.

Kendrick
Tyler
ScHoolboy Q
SZA
Doechii

Yeah the west got this..

corporations running s***

the west ain't really running nothing lol

Didn't future and trav outperformed the west this year alone?

SZA is from ST LOUIS

Mustard sold 13k

YG sold 7k

Kendrick & Tyler sold 300k / piece

I don't consider West to be running s*** even tho Kendrick and Tyler had a great year. I feel like they're running the game as individuals.

I honestly think it takes a collective (more than 3 artists) to really change a landscape and make an impact.

90s west coast you had Pac, Snoop, Dre, Eazy E, Ice Cube

East Coast 2000s had Jay Z, Nas, Diplomats, DMX and eventually 50 Cent

If you want to take it to more recent ventures then ATL 10s with Thug, Future, Migos, Rich Homie Quan, OG Maco (yeah I will add him in here because B**** U Guessed it helped bridge a gap for the scene before Bad and Boujee)

To me this is the definition of an area running s***, when you got various artists from the same area ticking boxes and making noise

i hope not cause the west coast got the worst regional sound idc what nobody say

but regardless it’s just two niggas ain’t nobody gonna be spinning some lefty gunplay or whoever in maryland

Yes I just can't see the sound being the main sound of hip hop

If we go to that then it would be a reduction from where we at right now.

Sonically the South pushed Hip Hop to new heights

We gotta keep on moving forward

Idk about the whole west but kendrick is gonna keep yall niggas crying all year no doubt about it

has west coast music even influenced anything in the past decade

i dont even think west coast is top 3 in terms of music influence in the past 10 years

east coast spawns copy cat genres in entire different continents

Earl from over that way so they got it

I don’t see the West Coast running rap

I fw West Coast music but they don’t have any young stars, gang politics prevents them from collaboration and putting on new guys and Kendrick himself can’t carry rap with how he’s been moving quietly throughout his career

High iq post. Major labels actively encouraging and catalyzing rap beef so as to garner one last big revenue pull from a genre they are actively dropping a plethora of artists from and rotating out of financially.. Nobody sees the big picture it's wild lol

This a very very bitter thread with the usual tragic suspects, that’s all I see.

Fax, south was so majorly responsible for the growth of hip hop in the 21st century
