HIP HOP : Why when fans talk about westcoast rappers PHARCYDE...SOULS OF MISCHIEF and many more never gets mentioned ?

Well that's because Souls of Mischief and all of them are underground and don't have a typical west coast sound. A lot of the time people only want west coast rap that has a typical style. I like all that underground west coast rap like Souls of Mischief, Styles of Beyond, Locksmith, Blu, Hieroglyphics, Blackalicious, Zion I, Living Legends and others more than a lot of the west coast rappers that people bring up, until I listened to all these underground rappers I thought that the west coast didn't really have much good lyricism. The only mainstream west coast rappers I really like a lot are 2Pac, the D.O.C., MC Ren and Snoop in his early days.

Phracyde and Souls of Mischief not only strayed from the norm. They also sounded much different than music in the west coast. Underground heads will listen to it and enjoy it but it’s not the same to west coast people. There’s not the same g-funk and synth that the other rappers were using. 

There not really west coast same way dilla or eminem isnt really Detroit. The ppl who live there dont listenen to that. Its more a spread out hipster like fanbase compared to like messy marv.
