TOP 10 WEST COAST RAP SONGS OF 2011


Wes' wes' y'all...some real tight tracks outta the left coast that didn't 
dissapoint one bit (obviously not talking about Kendrick Lamar who
shouldn't be mentioned at all being so overrated despite sum good lyrics).
Bay Area Rap will be handled seperately.


First up, all these tracks are really so close together it's kinda 
inadequate to say number 10 is inferior over the top track i chose. 
It just had to be done. 
And of course there were several other amazing tracks 
I just could not include in this top 10.

1. Brotha Lynch Hung - I Don't Think My Momma Ever Loved Me
Regardless if this track is the best west coast cut
or not, to me this deserves the top spot. The hook
alone makes me put on a puff-daddy-missing-you-b.i.g. 
type face. It is so deep and Lynch's lyrics are even more so. 
Topping off with an eerie beat and this was an easy choice.


2. Mack And Malone - Clint Eastwood
This one could've been my favourite this year.
The beat is straight up classic and i could listen to
this one over and over. Mack & Malone together
proved incredible. They are tight as on here.


3. LBC Crew - Feels Good 2 B DPG
Not sure when this track was made, but if there ever was 
a distinct West Coast sound to love, this is
it and it was refreshing as hell to hear this drop this
year. Gangsta Funk to the fullest. DPGC 4 L I F E!
Snoop's verse was clearly from the golden days tho.


4. Mack And Malone - Until The feds Came
Holy shit. You'd never expect this from these two,
but the whole album was a big surprise. This track
is flat out amazing. Crazy ass hook for real. 


5. Brotha Lynch Hung - Sooner Or Later
Talking about crazy hooks. Crazy ass great hooks.
Another sick track from Lynch. He's got a way of
pulling you in as soon as he drops his first line. 
Perfect beat for such a track aswell.


6. DJ Quik - Poppin
The backwards kick adds so much to this already
dope track. Quik is awesome and he come more than
 correct with his Book Of David. This track is a beast.


7. Glasses Malone - Jus Waitin'
Something about this that makes me love it. The 
happy tone thanks to the harmonica perhaps or the
simplicity of the drums with a catchy piano tune?
Bottomline, i love it and Malone's rougher voice is
perfect on it and makes for a great combo.


8. LBC Crew - One 213
One more from LBC because, as with this track, it just
captures that west coast sound and you gotta love it.
Daz's verse is the epiphony!


9. Slim The Mobster - Martyr
Even though this clearly got a east coast vibe going
on and Prodigy is featured, this had to be added.
Slim The Mobster is definitely up and coming and this
track proves that he's more than the west coast 50.


10. The G.A.M.E. - Ricky
The use of the movie samples like done here is just
brilliant and why this track made the list. On top
the whole beat and the instruments throughout set
this piece to high standards. And Game kills it.
