Clearly it was won by chin-checkin because the G’d up roster of West Coast heavy weights all came to deliver a message: “How The West Was Won.” Produced by Adrian Scott Productions and Live Nation, the crowd was sold out at Irvine’s Verizon Ampitheater, bouncing in a sea full of W’s in the air.
Headlined by Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, and The Game, the show was a retrospective of the history of West coast hip-hop including: Dj Quik, Suga Free, Xzibit, WC, Too Short, E-40, Mack 10, The Eastsiderz, and Glasses Malone.
From DJ Quik beseeching the crowd to recognize that he is the greatest producer alive, to Ice Cube threatening anyone who thinks his acting career has made him soft to “Check Themselves before they Wreck Themselves” the legends of the West could not be denied.
