Human: I haven't listened to much rap in my life but I heard some 2Pac the other day and i really liked it. Can you recommend similar old school west coast gangster rap?

Assistant: I’m very glad you like 2Pac’s music. I think he is a very important artist.  For other rappers in the same general style as 2Pac, you might like to try:

Nas

Wu-Tang Clan

Compton’s Most Wanted

Mobb Deep

This might seem like a really, really broad category. If you just like west coast gangster rap or rap about Los Angeles, I think it would be hard to go wrong with Big Pun, Snoop, The Game, and more recent artists like Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, and Mac Miller.
