The Game Not Happy With Complex Top 50 West Coast List

[Pure Water]

When you think west coast you think Tyler?


He might as well be from Ohio

I do think of LA when I think of Tyler. I was there since Yonkers. Just because this nikka doesn't rap over G-Funk beats doesn't mean he isn't LA.

If you was around for the streetwear era with all those LA brands on Fairfax you would see a more LA nikka than him.

[Low End Derrick]

This list is even worse.

How long did Pac even live in LA?

From when he got out of prison already a world wide superstar for a few months?

Might as well put any rapper that lived in LA, like Travis Scott, Jay-z or whoever. Dude became a legend in the bay and was a celebrity transplant not on some Ice-T, Xzibit shyt.

Ice-T moved to L.A. in the sixth grade, that's an L.A. artist.

What about Kurupt? nikka from Philly.

 

[spliz]

Was the list an LA list or West Coast list?

 

[YeahN1ggaImmaLurker!]

Not mad at this list. I dont think Pac should be #1 tho. The only place in Cali that can really claim him is the Bay Area since he went to high school there.

 

[Barney Rubble]

What about Kurupt? nikka from Philly.

Kurupt moved at 16, so I'd definitely consider him from Philly. Pac was 13 when he left NY, then four years in Baltimore before The Bay. Xzibit moved to LA at 17. Ice T was 11 or 12, and went to Crenshaw High, he's the only one I'd consider a true LA rapper.

Snoop being over Cube is sum shyt I don't like

Kanye spent more time living in LA than Pac ever did. Might as well add him to the list

Pac moved to Cali in 1988 and had his first album out in 1991. I'll never understand how he's a West Coast artist when he was on the east coast a majority of his life.

 

[Dzali OG]

Game is right. Tyler the Creator is trash, Eazy and Dre weren’t MCs, Nipsey had one official album. I get Cypress Hill being LA legends but B Real isn’t a better rapper than Game

This!

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Cyssero Tho...

I mean to say that he's a Bay Area legend is kinda correct, family heritage, moved there before fame and all that.

But to call man an LA legend is shameless on the next level.

What's next Asap Rocky is from London and NBA Young Boy from Utah

Claiming a city you moved to at 17 is still crazy to me. You didn't grow up there. He was signed to a major and dropped an album in less than 3 years.

I kinda get it though, teenagers memory is short as fukk.

It’s like army brats and stuff like that too.

And they get new brothers and all that immediately too.

Basically it’s like 3 places that he can claim, but LA is not one of them. Only a person that would reduce him to east/west beef character would do that.
