How to Get Hip Hop New & Mixtape Downloads

West Coast hip hop is under rated in my opinion. Artists such as Snoop, The Game, and E-40 have been trying to resurrect the West Coast demand within the rap and hip hop fans world wide. That's cool, but the mainstream bandwagon is unaware of the unsigned hype that's actively trying (or not) to get heard. Lyricist such as Mykestro, Kendrick Lamar, and Bambu possess the skill and substance of what in my eyes define Solid West Coast hip hop. To each his own, I guess.

If you are not familiar with the hip hop scene. Visiting the hip hop websites I mention in this article is enough to get you in touch with the subculture. The hip hop world is divided in two classes, the most recognized one is "mainstream", which consists of artists like Snoop Doggy Dogg, The Game, and the late Tupac Shakur in the west coast, and Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and Nas in the East Coast. The second class which is made up of independent and unsigned lyricists consists of musicians either trying to make it to the popular mainstream, or those who refuse to change their style in concordance with the popular demand. This class is referred by many as the "Hip Hop Underground".
