Yea a lot of the west coast stuff was very similar sounding to the south stuff in the mid-late 90s. There were always a lot of parallels to check for. I got in on that south stuff through west coast artists and like No Limit
## among like serious rap listener down-to-chat-about-joe-budden-mixtape-tracks friends i've had, there haven't been any that took the west coast seriously.There's always a lot more convincing that has to be done with east coast "real rap" heads but I just dont really even bother anymore tbf.

i love the first master p albums, when he was based in oakland.
houston rap was closer in sound to the west coast, even to the present, one corner of the "murder dog triangle" of regional rap scenes that goes cali/texas/kansas. a lot of early houston underground rap, almost everything released on rap-a-lot, street military, all the south park coalition releases, ganksta nip... really west coast.

P was my gateway into the world of southern rap and it was an easy transition. Outkast kinda before that but the Dungeon Fam sound is different to this other we're talking about anyway.

1997 release. Produced entirely by my favorite producer/musician DJ Quik. Suga Free is a pimp turned rapper.

suga free - street gospel
just saying this and not trying to sound naive on purpose: i don't really get the west coast pimp character. the same thing exists in southern rap but not really "the working side of pimping," pimping as a moneymaking venture, description of a real lifestyle. like 8ball and mjg get the closest on "pimps" + curls and gold teeth and the rules of degrading women. but most of the time, it's more about the pimp as ruthless trickster, a man that uses flash and cash, as well as verbal skills, to control women. by the time it gets to the east coast, it's mostly diluted to fucking a lot of broads and having a mean dick game, or the same kind of crack game as rap game metaphor (the verbal skills of the pimp character = metaphor for lyrical talent).
so, i get the african-american literary or folkloric or oral tradition meaning of the pimp, whatever. also-- and it's not something often addressed in rap writing, where it seems wrong to evaluate the claims of rappers, think seriously on their authenticity, add up the math on yo gotti's brick stats, but it's something i care about-- i appreciate suga free being a pimp and being able to prove it.
but it's another aspect of west coast rap that's fallen victim, for me, to parody and mainstream imitation. i still get a weird feeling about suga free's pimp narratives. i picture snoop in his pimp outfit, hanging out with don magic juan. i struggle to take it seriously.
also, there's something wrong with me that i can simultaneously treat a rapper long out the game imagining himself over the stove as a storytelling element or metaphorical thing and also prize the authenticity of dope game rhymes and slavishly fact check them but i get a queasy feeling about pimp rap. i'm cool with project pat blowing lines up his nose and kicking in doors but i take shit like this too seriously and the idea of making bitches suck dick for money after debasing them as an authentic topic for rap representation... not really feeling it. i feel like that white mainstream queasiness with shit like this is one of the reasons it's only entered pop culture as a joke... maybe.
i feel slightly embarrassed even breaking down those feelings, though. partly because i've publicly repped for some fucked up rap and privately considered its authenticity as part of its appeal. partly because i've shaken my head about ilm people coming on rap threads to note the disgusting elements of a lot of the music i unashamedly love and mostly just shaken my head at them for not being able to get what it's all about-- even shit like kanye saying he wants to be a dick instead of a swallower, people getting creeped out by that line, while i actually sort of like a suga free line like "suck my dick til you taste some snot."
whatever. i think i just take things too seriously. don't worry about it.
i like the breeziness on the beat, the way he can tell a story, even the buddy hackett sense of humor. but i'm glad quik has been confined to the west coast because i'm really not feeling lightweight 80s r&b beats.
best tracks: "if u stay ready," "doe doe and a skunk" ("slide slide slippity slide / because i heard it was a party jumpin on the west side / ride ride show ya ride / so i'ma drink this hennessy / and get my head real tight / now the rat-tat-tat strapped on my back back / not to jack / but to crack a playa hater talkin smack / now suga free don't dance but i might tonight / and my hoes can't go until my money is right / now i'm about to get ghost / after i g up from the feet up / and roll this weed up / let the car heat up speed up with the beat up / and rolllllll / hold the steerin wheel while i roll this endo / better known as the magic juan, the bomb, the antidote, the twilight smoke of all smoke / as i swerve by the curb with superb dayton spokes").

― dylannn, Saturday, 6 July 2013 22:26 (eleven years ago) link
the jacka, ap.9 and husalah - mob trial
i know jacka off cormega collaborations, a full track on legal hustle, where he seemed compromised by interest in east coast rap forms, into conflicted dope sales lyrical tropes, and this album opens with jacka sounding a lot like a haunted bay area cormega, riding in a box chevy lamenting the death of mac dre, .50 cal in his lap the only friend he can trust. after jacka riding rainy day new york beats and mob figaz gangsta tracks, the best moments on the first listen...1. husalah on "sleep with da fishes" every car he drives has the roof in the back pulling bitches in the mall on some noisy distorted drums smeared thick euphoric mess. talking shit on the outro as all the roars and squeals crescendo over top of him.2. "a gangsta's gangsta," which was created just for today, doooot doot doot doot doot, pineapple cream soda and just smoked the perfect amount of silver euphoria, 88 degrees outside on a saturday, car interior still smells like armor all. jacka nervous with his hand on his gun, that perfect round drum shape, jacka still with his hand on his strap whistling in the driver seat under california sun. feeling this. 3. quik on some '86 powerglide r&b, i can sort of appreciate it but it's not my thing, and i'm not really sure about the noise and speed on mob trial.... i like it on the surreal tracks, laying rubber in a dairy queen parking lot in a caprice... and i can dig it on "hott head," where it's turnt up way too loud, roaring synths and suddenly dramatic strings and hard drums, comfortingly familiar rhymes about sweeping up shells after you do the hit.4. "murder on my mind." husalah outshines jacka and ap.9 all over this album, just want to sit here transcribing his lines in all caps YOU WANNA GET FLY LIKE A GANGSTA / PUSH PIES LIKE A GANGSTA / BUT YOU SCARED TO DIE LIKE A GANGSTA / AND WHEN IT'S REALLY GOIN DOWN / YOU NIGGAS AIN'T AROUND / MAK-90 LAY EM DOWN / NORINCO 60 ROUNDS. -- someone listen to that and correct it, really hope it's a norinco shoutout. 5. "thrones and crowns," jacka in pensive storytelling mega mode again. amazing. 6. that fucked up chirp and piano beat on "gorgeous."
too many answering machine tracks and andre nickatina.
― dylannn, Saturday, 6 July 2013 23:28 (eleven years ago) link
Nickatina (dre dog) is an old gawd of the bay. Had his shine in the early 90s w out any crossover hits or any notoriety outside of the yay. He's just kept that regional cult following. He hasn't done too much of note since the 90s imo and his presence on anything anymore is like a bay stamp of approval.

and so blankfaced violent, dispassionate violent. violence as the core of the whole thing, not part of a dope game organizational capability to defend (opening track quotes ) and convincingly threaten or streets is chaos stay strapped or you might be taken under. just every hook KILL A NIGGA ROCK HIS ASS WITH THE SEMI-type thing ("cold body" ft kunta) mozzy has like this ultra hd first person shooter feel, hunting through the streets with like the album cover ak dripping blood. KILL HIM ON SIGHT / RISK DOING LIFE / MIGHT BE ABLE TO WIGGLE IF THEY DO IT RIGHT ("body 4 body"). especially without the backstory, the story about meaningless local beef oak park mack road vines of guys getting stomped at the mall, it's technically good with the flow and clean dark beats but the impression can be of mozzy as death squad middle manager, leading a morning pep rally to a team of shooters in khaki slacks and polo shirts leading a chant of NIGGA I KILL EVERYBODY ("nike" ft nelco). there's no specific target just corpses and the ones that got away for now. without cracking a smile showing much humanity, even on the tracks he's supposed to just bleak loading up the clip emptying the clip loading up the clip emptying the clip, putting the 40 in true religion jeans and going to sit outside someone's mama's house. rating: it's okay, technically proficient flow without any idiosyncrasy or much emotion. few guests offer shot of personality to bleakness. not really my thing.
