West Coast Rap

Description

West Coast Rap is characterized by its laid-back beats, funk influences, and smooth flow. It often features synthesizers, deep bass lines, and a relaxed yet confident delivery.

History

West Coast Rap emerged in the 1980s as a distinct style of hip-hop originating from California, particularly Los Angeles. It gained prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s with artists like N.W.A, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg, who brought a unique sound that contrasted with the East Coast's more aggressive style. The genre often addresses themes of street life, social issues, and party culture.
