11/16/06 - Who's Got Next For The West?

that-damn-good · 11-16-2006, 05:13 PM

SOHH--It’s pretty much been established that Snoop, Too Short, E-40 and The Game are the bosses of the West Coast right now. But it’s been a minute since any new artists out of the West have made a nationwide impact, and with the current focus that’s recently settled on the coast with the most, we’re due to have some new talent making some waves any day now.

While it doesn’t seem like Snoop is really trying to break any new artists right now, Too Short and the 40 Water have been pulling double duty to guest star on the albums of just about every rapper coming out of the Bay right now. And now that Game has released his sophomore album (with no BWS guest spots? Hmmm...), it’s possible that soon he’ll be pushing the next artist out of his camp. But there’s a whole underground scene out here that’s flourished for many a moon and it’s entirely possible that the next big thing might just come out of nowhere. While you might be familiar with some of the following artists, there might be some that you’ve never heard of. Also, I might not be as up on the L.A. underground as some of you dudes who live down there, so if there’s someone making moves down there who you feel might be on the verge of catching some fame, shout him out.

Glasses Malone (G Malone) is the frontrunner right now, and pretty much a shoe-in. Dre’s got his back, Big Fase 100 is his manager and the man is a beast on the mic. What the West needs now more than ever is for a lyricist to step into the spotlight, and this just might be the dude to take care of that.

Spider Loc- With the G-Unit Affiliations, the whole world already knows his name, but he’s gonna need to show and prove if he wants to show the world he can stand on his own two, especially with the rapidly growing disdain for all things Curtis Jackson.

Strong Arm Steady Gang (Krondon, Mitchy Slick, Phil Da Agony and Chace Infinite) -- While there’s no questioning his lyrical abilities, ex-Likwit Crew member Phil Da Agony has been in the game for over a decade and hasn’t really accomplished a whole lot in that time, and Chace Infinite has already released a ton of classic music as one half of Self Scientific. But this just may be the squad to make those two -- as well as Krondon and Mitchy Slick -- household names. While they lost their big name endorser after parting ways with Xzibit, they stay busy, and it’s looking more and more like DJ Muggs just may step in to promote the fuck out of these guys.

Juice- We keep hearing about Game’s stable of Black Wall Street artists, but this is pretty much the only one of them that has any buzz going...

Clyde Carson-... other than this dude. It’s been a big year for The Team, but it’s looking like Clyde might jump ship to run with BWS full time.

Sky Balla- This guy almost has an East Coast type of flow, and plenty of NY connections to boot. His style is different, but he’s still all the way Bay with it. Dig around for Lifestyles Of The Hoodrich & Famous, it’s pretty nuts.

JT The Bigga Figga -- This guy’s a fucking legend in Bay Area hip hop and it’s ridiculous that there are still people sleeping on him. He’s been making some power moves lately, so keep and eye peeled because you’re definitely gonna be hearing his name a lot more in the upcoming months.

Young Hoggs -- A whole different side of Compton. If G. Malone blows up, don’t be surprised if he takes these cats and Quiz with him to the top.

Big Rich- E-40 cosigned him, XXL and several other hip hop mags did features on him, and his single got national airplay on BET and MTV. He’s got the buzz going, and for people that have always been in to Bay Area hip hop but are looking for something a little more grimey than hyphy music, Fillmore Rich is that dude.

Ya Boy- I’m pretty sure he’s dropped his Black Wall Street affiliations, but he kept a hold of the buzz and shows no signs of stopping.

Mob Figaz- It’s been a big year for The Jacka, and although Husalah was recently locked up on a dope charge, he’s got a steady stream of new releases dropping that have been turning heads. When Hus gets out, I’d bet on all that pent up energy releasing on the world, and once a few people finally notice these dudes, they’re bound to add a huge number of new fans to their already solid fanbase.

Doey Rock -- This Sac town representative has been doing his thing for some time now, and has a pretty hefty buzz going in the Capital City, and now there are rumors that he might be the next new artist on E-40’s Sic Wid It imprint. Time will tell, but Doey’s definitely got a lot to say for anyone who’s willing to listen.

There are a ton of immensely talented underground artists out there as well that are a little more on the backpacker tip, but based on what hip hop fans are paying attention to these days, I don’t really see anyone blowing up from that scene, as much as I would love to see it. When the world looks to the West, they look to us for gangsta shit and nothing else, which is unfortunate because there are a ton of emcees out here that really need to be heard, and a lot of them have been grinding for a decade-plus without blowing up on a national level.

Drewshady17 · 11-16-2006, 06:49 PM

Man the only bosses of the west Are Dr Dre Snoop Dogg and Too Short.Gayme and E 40 ain't no fuckin Bosses.The are wack as fuck.Gayme ain't have no Wackwallstreet artists on his album cause there ain't none.All of his artists leave his label cause its wack as fuck and they now Gayme is frontin on everything he does.Here is what I think of these upcoming artists.Please somebody step up cause Gayme will soon be in a coffin.G Unit

Glasses Malone-He left Wackwallsteert and now he is on his own.He ain't even good so he ain't comin up Dre has his back ?????.Chance of blowin up is about 50%

Spider Loc-G Unit west in the house.Has a big chance and is the front runner to me for sure with 50 and G unit behind him.His flow is decent and he can get a bunch of features and good producers since he rolls with 50.All it will take is for him to finish a CD get a good single and release that shit which will be tough with all those artists on his label.Chance of blowin up is about 75%

Strong Arm Steady-Xzibit left the crew now and the have no mainstraem promotion.Chance of blowin up is about 10%

JT The Bigga Figga-He's been around for a while and ain't blowin up yet.It ain't happenin.Chance of blowin is about 5%

I ain't never heard of these Dudes or just heard a little bit but if they get a chance to Shine they might blow Up
Juice
Clyde Carson
Sky Balla
Young Hogs
Big Rich
Ya Boy-who was on Wackwallstreet and now is not.He can't fuckin rap.
Mob Figaz
Doey Rock

And where the fuck is Bishop Lamont at Dre is backin him up and after Detox gets released if it ever does look for him to blow up for sure.And don't forget about Infamous G Unit artist 40 Glocc.And a person who has mad potential and can spit is Cashis look for this Shady 74 Gangsta to explode after You Don't Know is taking over the charts.Also Lil Eazy has been doing big things.Re Do the list and add them in or your list ain't shit.
