West Coast (G-Eazy and Blueface song)

"West Coast" is a house-tinged song^[1] that uses a loop sampling the chorus of "Let's Ride".^[2][3][4] It is considered an ode to California.^[5] Performing in a laid-back flow, G-Eazy hints at releasing new music in the summer.^[2][3] He also brags in his verse that his last album (The Beautiful & Damned) provides for his grandchildren, he drives a black Ferrari, and has an endorsement with Puma.^[4] Blueface calls himself the "face of the West Coast"^[2][3][4] and centers on what he loves about California, specifically the women and marijuana, while also using his viral phrases.^[4]

Trey Alston of MTV wrote of the song, "It barely runs above two minutes, but the pair's chemistry and obvious infatuation with their birthplace makes it a lively, and also slightly adorable, listen."^[4] Emmanuel Maduakolam of Hypebeast gave a positive review, commenting the song "captures the exciting new California energy and channels it into a perfect slapper. The Bay and L.A. connect for an excellent party record that should be played at high levels."^[6]

An official remix of the song was released on March 28, 2019, and features verses from Allblack and YG. Allblack raps in a fast-paced flow (which has been compared to that of E-40) and compares himself to NBA player Spud Webb,^[7][8] while YG explains his connection to Blueface.^[7]

The music video was filmed in February 2019^[9] and directed by Daniel CZ. It is shot in black-and-white and features neon accents from animator Ofir Shoham.^[10] The video shows palm trees, hyphy dancing, Crip and Blood-walking,^[11] and luxury vehicles doing donuts in abandoned parking lots.^[12] G-Eazy and Blueface cruise up Fairfax Avenue of Los Angeles in the former's black Ferrari,^{[7][10][11][12][13]} while the latter flaunts a stack of cash and dances in the street alongside a bouncing lowrider driven by Ty Dolla Sign.^[10] The clip features cameos from local rappers E-40, Richie Rich, P-Lo, Yung Pinch, Kossisko, Haiti Babii, Guapdad 4000 and Danny Seth.^[10][14]
