East, South, West, and Midwest in that order.

The Midwest suffers from basically being a hybrid and mixing the styles of what was popular in the South and West Coast, especially during the 90s.

East, West, and South all have their own distinctive sounds, unlike the Midwest, which often gets mistaken as the South, for example, 3-6 Mafia, 8Ball & MJG, etc, are often thought of as Southern Hip-Hop.

east gives the wordplay & the image/style

the south best contribution is production

west brought the perpetual dramatic storyline of gang.culture


most folks will always put their home team first so you tend to favor where you are from

truthfully it's give & take

I don’t know about “now” but Southern Hip Hop from the 80s to 2010-2012ish were the best years.

I love Rap music from all regions, but the real argument is who is 2nd place. The East coast dominated the first 15 years of the genre.
