Probably should be,like Rakim should be considered the east coast goat. But in reality Pac is the most iconic when you think west coast hiphop and has the catalogue to back up the claim as well. But you could also give Cube more credit for laying the blueprint and inspiring so many emcees including Pac.
It really is a tossup depending on what you choose to put more stock into,and probably what era you were from. Can't really say Cube wasn't the west coast icon in his prime in his era. Kind of crazy both of these guys had multiple great group projects as well.
