West Coast hip hop

West Coast hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop music from the West Coast of the United States. It gained prominence in the early to mid-1990s with the rise of G-funk and influential labels like Death Row Records, Lench Mob Records, Ruthless Records, and Aftermath Entertainment. Early West Coast hip hop, starting in the early 1980s with Duffy Hooks' Rappers Rapp Records, was more fast-paced and influenced by electronic music. This sound was characterized by DJ-centric performances, exemplified by acts like World Class Wreckin Cru and Egyptian Lover. The scene initially focused more on DJing than rapping.
