I'm trying to make a compilation of 90's west coast rap.
Here's what I have so far:

2Pac - California Love , -I Get Around
Dr. Dre - Nothing but a G'Thang, - The Next Episode
Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day
Luniz - I Got Five on It
TWDY - Player's Holiday
Shade Sheist - Where I Wanna Be
Bone Thugs N Harmony - Crossroads
Westside Connection - 3 Time Felons
Snoop Dogg - Ain't No Fun
TQ - Westside

et al.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Some Mac Dre?

Couple Bay area guys:

MC Hammer "You Cant Touch This" (1990)

Sir Mix a Lot "Baby Got Back" (1992)

Above The Law-"Call it what you want"
W.C.-"West Up"
The Click-"Hurricane"
Compton's Most Wanted-"All for the money"
DJ Quik-"Tonite"
Jayo Felony-"Whatcha Gonna Do?"
Cypress Hill-"Latin Lingo"
MC Breed-"Aint no future in your frontin"
2Pac-"Pain"
Kid Frost-"No Sunshine"
Young Soldierz-"Eastside,Westside" (Try to find the extended album cut)
L.A. Nash-"'64"
Dogg Pound-"Ridin', Slipin' and Slidin'"
South Central Cartel-"Gang Stories"
C BO-"Ballad of a Menace"
Too Short-"Cocktails"
Warren G-"This DJ"
Eazy E-"Just Tah Let U Know"

Ahh, my era

The Coup - Fat Cats, Bigga Fish
Del - Dr. Bombay
Any Digital Underground

oh, and upgrade from "I Got Five on It" to the remix version!


slight nitpicky corrections: Mix-a-lot is from Seattle (but he still qualifies ), Bone is from Cleveland, and MC Breed is from Michigan - although I suppose Breed's sound is that West Coast GFunk style

boy, you needs some Biggie in dat mix, yo!

The West Coast Rap All-Stars - "We're All In The Same Gang"

Yeah this tune's a Cali classic. You can still hear it played on stations in the wee hours of the morning.

wasn't biggie an east coast rapper?

Yes...I half think he was joking.

= J

Although Easy E. gave Bone Thugs their start, they were from Cleveland.

How about Mac 10, WC & the Maad Circle, MC Ren, Dru Down, E-40, Coolio, Ice-T...

E-40 : Slurricane (not sure if west coast but worth entering)
Eleven Five : Garcia vegas
Del tha funkee homosapian : if you must - Mista dobolina
RBL Posse : Bammer Weed
Warren G : Regulate
Xzibit : Alkoholic
NWA : F the police - staight outta compton
Digital Underground : Same song - Freaks of the Industry

The Dove Shack - Summertime In The LBC (If you can't find their cd, the track is also on The Show Soundtrack).

The Alkoholiks - Only When I'm Drunk, Last Call, Daaamn!, Let It Out

Above The Law - anything off their first album, Black Superman...

I second the upgrade from the album version of I've Got 5 On It to the remix

King Tee - Act A Fool

Anything off the Dogg Food album...

So many choices, so little space

So how many remixes was there to this? I remember being pissed off buying the album when the single hardly sounded nothing like the memorable cut that was always playing on the radio. And then there was that other remix that had Spice 1,DU,and Richie Rich.

Good call on Dove Shack. "Smoke Out" is another good track to check out.

Thanks everybody, awesome suggestions. I might have to make a couple cd's now.

that's the one I was referring to. w/E40, Shock G, Dru Down, Richie Rich, Spice 1

I'm kicking myself for forgetting Above The Law and RBL Posse. "V.S.O.P." by ATL and "Sort of like a Psycho" by RBL are two of my all-time favorites

Blackalicious - "Alphabet Aerobics"
Jurassic 5 - "Jayou"
Ugly Duckling - "Everybody C'mon"
Souls of Mischief - "93 'til Infinity"
Del - "Mistadobolina"
Aceyalone - "Annalillia?"
Latyrx - "Lady Don't Tek No"
