    Article I wrote showing some love to the west coast. The west coast is often underrated, so here is my argument for its importance in rap.

    Great article for real, props for mentioning players like E-40, Ras Kass or Jurrasic 5. Real one detected.

    As real as this article is, East Coast is the home of Big L, whos swag was on another level.
