A look at the rise of hip-hop in the West Coast 

Love that genre.

That was exactly why I told myself one day I'm going to be a new West Coast hardcore gangsta rapper

West Coast HipHop dates back since the 70s and exploded in the early 80s with Club Radio and Uncle jams army. ICE T kick off with Wreckless not six in the morning

GMA, you can’t be serious. Only a 4 min. segment on the history of West Coast Hip-Hop? 🤦🏾‍♂️

I know right

Hip-hop would've never been what it is today if 2pac never came onto scene. (We might have had a different hip-hop). But when we think of hip-hop... it's hard not to think about 2pac.

6 in da morning... Hood Classic

When it comes to West Coast hip-hop, L.A. (Southern CA) is always gonna get first dibs. Here we are in 2023 and Bay Area (Northern CA) hip-hop is still overlooked. Only Too $hort and E-40 get recognized. The opposite coast felt that we weren't lyrical, wordsmith enough, the Jheri curls dripped too much and basically, the overall culture was a detriment to society. Basically, the West Coast destroyed the black community. I was a kid during that period so I simply enjoyed the music and kept it movin'. G-funk forever on mine.

🔥🔥🔥🐲

Crazy Ice T was from east coast as well as Pac.

abc, you guys as a whole team need to do more homework; beacue, Latinos, Chicanos, contributed just as much as our black brothers & sister to hip hop especially on the West Coast.

No wonder east coast have so many famous rappers than west coast

West side for life

Cube 🌎👑🐐

If you don't like or love Hip-Hop you're the problem

Not bad parents just mis understood

Leave whoopie alone

This is all wrong!!! If you’re watching this you’re being misinformed. West Coast Hip Hop didn’t start with Ice T or NWA. This is so disrespectful.
