Back in the mid 2000s how dry was the LA rap scene

[BlackonBlackCrime]

You had the game & snoop & ice cube holding it down during the ringtone era.

Bishop lamont, glasses malone, hot dolla, & damani was suspose to be upcoming.

Dj quik abandon funk for snap music " can you work it"

Roccet was with young jeezy but couldnt capitialize on the association

thats because in the mid-2000's west coast hip-hop was in the Bay

I don't know if people from the bay know how local their sound is.
A good majority of them nikkas weren't hot anywhere else.

that goes for pretty much all local scenes. Hence the term "local".

That was a rough Patch as the older heads didn't want to let go ..they weren't washed but they wasn't nescarrily what they once we're



The kids felt they was neglected.n not embraced the way they should have been either ..

The market wasn't tryin to let the west run shxt again either ..

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

It wasn't dry. The West was still being blackballed and the OG's weren't willing to hep the up and coming artist get to the next level. Talent is always around.

 

[BlackonBlackCrime]

Yeah the hyphy movement was in effect.Then jerkin came around along with the tattoo craze groups such as a2i, pushaz ink(YG was a part of it before rap fame) Nipsey came with the bullets aint got no names series & odd future

Drier than Patti Labelle's puzzy

People disrespected Game in recent years, on here, and on the internet in general but, he was a breath of fresh air in 2005 and was the new official dude who brought the West Coast back.

To add onto this point, 2005 should have been Clyde Carson's year to blow. Starting then for a year he had songs that could have blown up and made him a star.

[Mensch Fontana]

All underground. The team, western union, tde, glasses malone, nipsey hustle, bishop lamont. Snoop, dpg and cube put out some decent tapes

 

[NvrCMyNut]
