Yea I'm from Harvey. But Chicago folks talk country all over. I hear it in my talk and I cringe cause it sounds like that St.Louis with heavy 'air' sound that sound like 'urrr'
Whurr y'all gone be after work? I'm trying to come through when I'm done.

Saying "yeah the hell they do" isn't convincing, but okay moving on. You're the first person I ever heard of saying West Coast rappers have Southern accents,

trust me, Im not the first

The Dogg, The Doctor, & Death Row

Snoop’s Upside Ya Head

While Dre handled the beats, Snoop Doggy Dogg (now shortened to “Snoop Dogg”) dazzled us with his flow and his wordplay. Who would’ve ever guessed that a dude named after a Peanuts character would become a gangsta rap star? These days, that “dude” is an icon, whether he’s making records, doing commercials, or hosting risqué films. Ever since Dre showed up with Snoop on “One Eight Seven”, the track from the Deep Cover soundtrack, Snoop has been well known for his cadence, his wit, and his distinctive southern drawl.

The Dogg, The Doctor, & Death Row

which wouldn't make us well....West Coast.

Im speaking about Aframs out West, not the entire West Coast

1. Cube never had "Southern tinges" (Him and Pac also had similar deliveries, so yeah your first mistake was comparing him to Long Beach rappers),

so you can count him out for whatever the hell reason you threw him in here. L.A. with Cube, especially has a different inflection when compared to Long Beach where Snoop, Nate and Warren are from, regardless all 4 their accents are strictly "Californian".

Pac and Cube didn't sound the same at all Cube also sounds southern tinged





compare pac's accent to suge's who has that southern tinge

2. On Snoop, you telling me his voice in these songs sound even remotely Southern? There's a raspiness to his voice too (1:37 mark of "Who I Am"), which is common in this variety of West Coast accents (from here to the middle and even Norcal): rolls his syllables (especially "L" and "R" consonants) with clear-cut efficiency, - there's no drawl/twang, as he doesn't take forever to sound out words.





P.S. - I'm aware "thang" is Texan slang, but every region doesn't say it with all the "Southern grace" they do.

Snoop clearly sounds southern tinged

3. Nate probably sounds that way to you, depending on the how bluesy his melodies can get (that's happenstance bro, you're not exactly providing examples or proving anything) which isn't often. Having that tendency doesn't make one "Southern", various Blues styles are common in every U.S. region. Rather, at times he can have a "Spanish-ringing" quality to his singing (we're talking Long Beach natives here), based on his warbling, almost "cooling" vibrato and intervals he chooses in the 7 note scale of music theory.

4. Since you also mentioned Warren G, I'll just pull up "Regulate" (at the 3:01 mark) being the perfect example with the huge differences between their vocal registers, despite the same range in accent. Warren's voice has a thinner-mid, but drops his range to lower-bass when speaking in that section like a newscaster from over here, extremely clear and punctual. Nate's voice in contrast has an "oscillating", refined low-end even though his is bass too like his. How their deliveries articulate are very poised, aren't sloppy or slurring, and done neatly.



Idk whatever your perception of the West Coast is in SoCal, but unless you're from here you really won't LISTEN for those nuances and just assume "Deep and bluesy =

see above post

Southern", which is just ignorant in my personal opinion, as we don't sound "Country" either. Southerners who talk like this nikka or that nikka make fun of us usually for how "professional" or "perfect" we sound for those details I aforementioned.
Our enunciation is the clearest in terms of saying certain words, out of the East, Mid and South. If you heard of that "Hollywood voice" stereotype, that's where it comes from and why other regions make fun of us.

the only aframs who are almost void of clear southern vocalisms on average are from the north east. This isn't to say there aren't north eastern blacks who sound southern because generally speaking, aframs can have numerous accents with in the same region but the average west coast black rapper will sound more southern than the average NY rapper.

I think no matter where you from if you around real people and/or any kind of street is in you you'll recognize it in the music you rock...You could tell these cats wasn't no gimmick just like Bone, Psychodrama, Twista Do Or Die, Childrin Of The Ghetto...shyt our whole era lol
