Music
In the United States, California is commonly associated with the film, music, and arts industries; there are numerous world-famous Californian musicians. Punk rock, country, hip hop, and heavy metal all developed partly in California.
1990s and 2000s
Hip hop
In 1992, Dr. Dre's solo debut, The Chronic, made West Coast hip hop and Death Row Records the dominant sound in hip hop, drawing primarily upon George Clinton's P-Funk for samples and the general, slow, lazy funk. Death Row Records soon acquired Tupac Shakur, Warren G and Snoop Doggy Dogg as a feud developed between the East and West Coasts. In the mid-90s, Shakur and his rival Notorious B.I.G. were both shot and killed. Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight was imprisoned, and most of the label's acts tried to leave. The lack of leadership helped put New York, Atlanta and New Orleans on the top of the hip hop charts.
In the 1990s, underground hip hop flourished in the San Francisco Bay Area. Early pioneers included Too $hort and E-40; their success helped pave the way for new performers like RBL Posse, whose 1992 "Don't Gimme No Bammer" achieved some crossover success. San Francisco's thriving underground rap scene, producing somewhat well known rappers such as Andre Nickatina.
Indie rock
The early 1990s saw the emergence of Pavement, an influential indie rock band from Stockton. In the mid-1990s, Beck came out of the Silver Lake (a neighborhood in Los Angeles) indie rock scene. Los Angeles has also produced the folky singer-songwriter Ross Altman.
The early 2000s have seen the emergence of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club from San Francisco and The Quarter After, Scarling., Autolux, Giant Drag, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and the Warlocks from Los Angeles.
Hardcore
During the 1990's, San Diego saw the emergence of Heroin, Antioch Arrow, and other innovative hardcore bands. Many released albums on the Gravity Records label.
