A West Coast type beat refers to a specific style of instrumental hip-hop music that is commonly associated with the West Coast region of the United States, particularly California. It is characterized by its laid-back, funky, and melodic sound, often incorporating elements of G-funk, a subgenre of hip-hop popularized in the 1990s by artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Warren G.

West Coast type beats typically feature deep, heavy basslines, smooth synthesizer melodies, catchy hooks, and often incorporate samples from funk, soul, and R&B music. The drum patterns in these beats are usually slower with a distinct bounce and may include sounds like hand claps, tambourines, and funky percussion elements.
