The LBC's Crooked I speaks with Oakland's Sway on the disconnect between the new and old West. Crooked feels that the West Coast OGs like Dre, Cube and Snoop have failed to embrace the next generation of Cali up-and-comers. This is the inspiration behind his potential project with Glasses Malone and Bishop Lamont called No Country For Old Men.
Though Crooked is speaking most specifically about LA, this disconnected individuality is something that all of Cali needs to combat. While the South's biggest stars continue to unite and cultivate new talent, we are out here fighting for scraps. Crooked blames this on a gang banging mentality, but I just think we don't see the big picture. If Cali's generations and regions can unite and create a movement, then we are creating more fertile soils for more of our folks to get put on. This is the inspiration behind the 1West movement that will be using www.wethewest.com as its vehicle.
As 38thNotes' endorsement of the 1West movement, here is a track featuring Long Beach YG Crooked I and Oakland vet Yukmouth (Just ignore the Ray J part).
