East Coast vs. West Coast

by **The Asshole** » Nov 25th, '13, 12:37

So here's the question, if you could only choose either East or West coast hip hop to listen to and had to completely drop the other one's which would you choose. My friends and I have had this debate a couple of times and for the majority of us we end up choosing the West Coast. The East easily has the greater sheer number of tremendous rappers, Biggie, Nas, Hov, 50, Early LL and more. But at least in my case even though the West might have fewer legends, some of my all time favorite albums have come from the West. Interested to hear everyone's opinion.

East but I like West too. Definitely enjoy both for different reasons but I like more artists from the East.

Probably East, I like their sound more than the west coast style tbh.

Both coasts had it on lock in different periods of time while they were competing... both had insane artists at the time too.
