A mate of mine was saying last night he hated West Coast hip-hop. So I thought I'd put together a mix of stuff he might like. When he said he hates West Coast hip-hop I think he meant he hates G-Funk era gangster rap. Personally I love it, Doggystyle is one of my favourite albums and I come back to it a lot more than I come back to other albums I listened to in my youth. Anyway with this mix I've steered clear of the gangster sh1t and hopefully shown that there's more to West Coast hip-hop than George Clinton samples.
