In terms of quality, nobody is seeing the West Coast right now tbh
it's impressive, how the West breeds talented rappers left and right, yet so hard press for the East to duplicate the same
Kendrick Lamar
Blu
Jay Rock
AB-Soul
School Boy Q
Dom Kennedy
Casey Veggies
Fashawn
Nipsey Hussle
Tyler The Creator
Dizzy Wright
Earl Sweatshirt
Problem
Shad Robinson
Skeme
Vince Staples
Tiron
Murs
And some of the best new producers are from the West: Soundwave & Dj Dahi (I said best, not hottest so don't come and say mustard)
