Tha Eastsidaz - Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz
1 recommendation
"The singles that came off this track are so hot that they might burn your ears by simply listening to them. Make sure you listen to Snoop and by only blazing chronic and raising up Chevys."
Snoop Dogg - Tha Last Meal
1 recommendation
"It's definitely no Doggystyle nor is it a Doggfather but it doesn't matter this album still bangs. "Lay Low" is one of my favorite, most quoted and most memorable rap songs."
Xzibit - Man Vs Machine
2 recommendations
"A really solid album, Xzibit's MVM album was a more mainstream approach to his traditional brash underground street style. A really cool song on the album is Choke Me, Spank Me (Pull My Hair) because Xzibit alters his singing voice to sound a lot like DJ Quik."
Xzibit - Restless
1 recommendation
"Hot damn was this a good album or what?!?!? Xzibit tore up the radio stations with this one, his breakthrough album. I think he started to deteriorate after this point but his next album was still really good. Listen to "Get Your Walk On.""
213 - The Hard Way
1 recommendation
"Take the laid back drawl of Snoop Dogg, mix in a Westcoast All Star like Warren G and add a smooth talking mack daddy like Nate Dogg and you have 213; the baddest rap group ever assembled since the Westside Connection. These guys bring back that old g funk feel and Nate Dogg's vocals create the catchiest choruses in the industry. Sooooo gooood!"
The Game - Doctor's Advocate
1 recommendation
"This CD usually gets a lot of flak for not being as good as The Documentary but I think all of that is rubbish. Sure Dr. Dre didn't produce this CD and it didn't sell nearly as many copies but if you were to actually listen to FULLY listen to both CD's (not just the singles) you'd find that this is a far more rounded CD. Personally, I like both of them equally."
Tha Dogg Pound - Dillinger & Young Gotti
1 recommendation
"I have bumped the songs of this Dogg Pound (now known as D.P.G. for legal issues) CD since it's release in 2001. Unfortunately it didn't sell many records but there are some really great hip hop classics on this album. Try listening to "Coastin'" if you want a high paced, g funk party starter....."
Kurupt - Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey
1 recommendation
"My older brother and his friends were in love with this cd and I couldn't help but following suit. Kurupt is great when he raps with Tha Dogg Pound but his solo work is really cool too.....I really reccomend the title track, "At It Again" and "Da World.""
The Game - The Documentary
3 recommendations
"I remember this dropping in high school and revitalizing the Westcoast Gangster Rap. This is a staple of anyone who loves rap, especially if they love Westcoast rap. GREAT CD!"
Straight Outta Compton - N.W.A
2 recommendations
"This CD hits you like a ton of bricks and does not stop. It is a classic. When this came out it was like when punk rock first came on the scene. This has that same energy of telling what life on the street was like, etc. It also gave us Ice Cube and Dr. Dre! If you don't own this you need to!"
2Pac - All Eyez on Me CD
3 recommendations
"This is 2pac's finest hour. This man changed rap music forever with his poetry and knack for being smart while still being street. A must own for anyone who loves hip hop."
Too $hort - Get In Where You Fit In
1 recommendation
""Too $hort baby I'm so hard, pimping these h*es on the Boulevard" Ahhh if you miss the sweet sounds of misogyny mixed over funky ass, old school west coast 90's beats then this is your album. "Get Some Lovin'," "Money in the Ghetto", "B****** Betty" and "I'm a Player" are classics."
Kurupt - Kuruption! Bi-Coastal Edition Volumes l & ll
1 recommendation
"This CD is split into 2 discs, one is in the style of West Coast Rap and the other is in the style of East Coast rap (Kurupt was from Philly but he moved to Hawthorne, CA). This CD is a classic, regardless of which coast you live on and I believe that it is Kurupt's most successful solo venture to date. This album also has "C-Walk" on it, one of the chillest, most OG songs ever recorded."
Kurupt - Tha Streetz Iz a Mutha
1 recommendation
"This album was released in November of 99, although it is close to the new millennium it doesn't qualify for my "Favorite Rap Albums of the 2K" list. It's all good though, the 90's was a hot time for rap and Kurupt tears it up on this CD. "Represent Dat G.C." and "Step Up" are great songs too."
The Wash Soundtrack
1 recommendation
"Ahhhh another Westcoast treasure. Don't get me wrong, the whole CD isn't perfect but there are some really good classics on this one, namely the title track."

"SCARFACE! ...you don't know 'bout 'dis...if you don't know..know ya know lol funky freaky fresh beats... :)"
Too $hort - Shorty The Pimp
1 recommendation
"Another great Too $hort album. $hort dogg definitely tears it up on this one, "Step Daddy" is as memorable as they get."
N W A - Straight Outta Compton
1 recommendation
"Witness the strength of street knowledge. Listen to the ill raps that got Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Easy E started. Dope!"
