So true. Could you imagine bumping this on a perfect sunny Spring day without a cloud in the sky in Oakland, Houston, or even Maryland? Some West Coast music is depressing too, but not most of it. This sh*t sounds so cold and hopeless that you might need a blanket on an 85 degree summer day! I love this sh*t, but it even makes me depressed sometimes...
Life's a bi*ch by naz & AZ - one of the most depressing rap songs ever..
To overlook the contribution of the Bay to rap music is criminal.
Songs and albums like his gave birth to the West Coast Rap scene as well as the Down South scene. Without Too $hort and this album, there would be no Snoop or Eightball & MJG or UGK...
Paris's controversial sometimes racist raps about politics and society predate that of Immortal Technique, Dead Prez and even Ice Cube's most scathing views on Death Certificate...
I'm old enough to remember a time when a lot of rap music was influenced by the West Coast...
It's funny. Masta Ace is from Brooklyn. But this doesn't sound or look like Brooklyn, does it? This sh*t goes hard though.
Bone Thugs are from Cleveland, but If you didn't know that you would guess Cali...
One of the most West Coast sounding records and groups to never come out of the West Coast. Sh*t is classic nonetheless...
This doesn't sound particularly East Coast, either. Listen to those slowed down wandering synths. What region of the country has that sonic signature? It's a shame because Boot Camp came with some of the hardest, most gutter sh*t to ever come out of the East Coast prior to this pandering garbage.
The Geto Boys sound like they could be from Oakland or Compton right here! That throbbing bass and those synthesizers are indebted to Cali G-Funk and Mobb music.
This also sounds very West Coast. It sounds like Scarface could have grown up in the same hood as Spice 1 on this track...

You must forget Houston has a reputation for putting out bland and depressing music too.
Cats in new york could careless where somebody is from we bump hot ish regardless. This had new york going crazy when it came out. Biggest misconception about ny, is that we're haters
