West Coast Gangsta

The late 80's/early 90's gave birth to one of the most influential Rap genres "Gangsta Rap". Music from this time period has played a major role on influencing today’s artists.

O.G.'s like Ice-T, and N.W.A.'s Dr. Dre and Ice Cube were major players in kicking off the sound. Their protégé's Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac soon followed, bringing the genre to unimaginable heights.

Today, their influence can be found in artists from all different neighborhoods from The Game to 50 Cent, to Young Jeezy.

For some of the West Coast must-have's, here's a list of tones to check out: Dr. Dre's "Nuthin But A G Thang" & "Let Me Ride". Snoop Doggy Dogg's "Gin and Juice". Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day". Tupac's "California Love". NWA's "Straight Outta Compton".
