| | West Coast hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The origins of West Coast hip hop can be traced back to the late 1970s, after quickly jumping coast from its creation in New York City, where it was mainly prominent in block parties and some clubs. |
 | | However, The West Coast scene became truly established during the 1980s as hip hop music first gained national appeal, and established itself in California in general (and in Los Angeles in particular). |
 | | While the West Coast still got some exposure such as Dr. Dre's sophomore album 2001, Xzibit's introduction to the mainstream, and Snoop Dogg's continued crossover appeal, most artists like Warren G, Kurupt, WC, Mack 10, DJ Quik, and Daz and the remaining veteran artists of the 1990's continue to struggle for recognition among music fans. |
