Overall, it doesn't...but it's different for everyone.

Kurupt, Nate, Snoop, and some others spent most of their childlife in L.A., and went to HS there...which is really the most important factor to most people here. If you didn't go to HS somewhere, most people won't claim you like that...unless you are just dope as hell.

Xzibit moved after HS, and Murs told me he remembers when he first came..."this cat named Alvin just moved from New Mexico and rolls with Tee and them...he's dope!!!" He didn't really rap and claim himself as a "West Coast" artist at the level of Snoop and them until he was rollin with them...but most people still see him as West Coast.

We all know it's hella controversy surrounding Pac...but since he's seen as the G.O.A.T. by many, most of us will still claim him, at least as being from California...and since he died throwin up the W and people associate the W with him, he's seen as West Coast.

It's plenty of acts who may not be 100% "true" West Coast artists, but we do claim many of them. Doesn't really matter at all overall to me...this topic here was just seeing who we felt dropped the best track that we know was not from California, even if they rolled with us.
