Many of us are in the mood for West Coast music this week. Well, here’s some West Coast music.

Now, he’s made a whole album with DāM-FunK.

Hip-hop wasn’t exactly bereft of do-it-all visionary control freaks before Kanye West showed up — just ask Chuck D, the RZA, or DJ Quik — but nobody took the auteur approach to Yeezy’s extremes. Of all the ways Mr. West has contributed to rap’s evolution over the past decade, to me the most excit...

Three years ago, the permanently underrated West Coast rap veterans DJ Quik and Kurupt joined forces for BlaQKout, a deeply weird and personal rap album that finally won both of them some of the critical acclaim they’d long deserved.
