13. Snoop Dogg
West Coast rap and Snoop Dogg are completely synonymous with one another. While most East Coast rap is a bit supercharged in nature, Snoop’s laid-back presentation completely encapsulated the early ’90s in Long Beach. He’s produced banger after banger — and has done it for an extended period of time. Snoop earns a ton of respect on that basis alone.
