I Wanna Benz (ft. Nipsey Hussle & 50 Cent)YG
YG is one of the quintessential West Coast rappers.
If you ask teens, “What’s the most awesome gangsta rap on the West Coast?” his name will definitely come up.
He’s a rapper who embodies contemporary gangsta rap, and his thugged-out rhymes and slick flexes have massive support from heads.
Among YG’s tracks, a standout recommendation is I Wanna Benz (ft.
Nipsey Hussle & 50 Cent).
As you can tell from the featured artists, it’s a song that feels like a revival of dense mid-2000s, middle-school-era gangsta rap.
