I started on this back in early 2009, after MzAshton sent me the Hip Hop Odyssey mix from Jaguar Skillz. Me being me, I said "it's great, dope, but....not enough West Coast! I should make a West Coast version!" I was basically talkin outta my ass, but then said....shit, why not?

I worked on it for a few months back then, and just lost interest in it..shit was too overwhelming. Had to do so much research on it to make it balanced, and I just burnt out...but always said I'd finish it.

After DJing Paid Dues, making my website, and having waaaay more buzz than I did in 2009, I started back up on it a month ago. Had to cut it down to 500 songs from about 900...so I for sure "missed" a few tracks just because I wanted to include a variety of artists and sounds. I coulda made 500 songs from only using Snoop, Pac, Cube, Too Short, Quik, and Mac Dre.

It goes in order from 1981-2012....covers all the major eras of West Coast Rap. Took a good 80 hours or so to complete it. Making it balanced was for sure the hardest part...my main base is more 25-35, L.A. natives who prefer the commercial and club side more than the Underground side, but I wasn't gonna cater it to them only.
