Everybody just got to bring their own interpretation of hip hop to the table.Yeah but it was not like Pac just moved to the west a couple of weeks before dropping music. He lived in Marin City/Oakland for a while. 17 or 18 he has when he moved there. Pac repped the west as much if not more then Snoop or Cube or anyone else out here that was repping it hard. when he was 18 bout to turn 19, and that means he was completely raised in New york and baltimore, hence his rap style...no??? lolyou are a man at 18, im not hating, i love east coast rap, but im just saying this is the reason he stood out and "lead" west coast rap, because he was from were rap is from, he was a straight professional in hip hop, when the west coast was still warming up to it, you know what im sayingplus he was living in New York, the whole time he was in cali he frequently went back for 2 - 3 months at a time, of course death row wouldn't tell you that, but were you think he met outlaws, just randomly, these were his real friends, and him and biggie were homies! Biggie used to sleep at Tupacs NYC housethats why he was so disappointed that he got shot on the East Coast, he felt betrayed, because he was getting so much love in his second home, and when he went back to his real home he was sabatage, but the truth of the matter is, NY dudes do that to they own everyday, nothing had changed, u knowpeace

Snoop even said it at the height of his career. Cube & WSC had the WORLD throwing up the W, Snoop has been more the King for a while, but man Cube made you want to be from the west, have pride in the west. He does not speak out as much as he used to, but him and Pac were like the aggresive voice of the coast. Shame that Pac thought Cube was riding on his coattails back then because they both were on the same page.but we're talking about the present and the future right?sure Cube has his independent label, but he's only focusing on a few artists, he's not planning to build some sort of powerhouse off course some one can be looked at as a leader, from so many different angles.by the way, i'm getting tired of the perception that the 'west coast' is a team that competes against other regions/states whatever ( as a response to the first post and to similar posts/comments)Oh no doubt, times have changed. But I still think Cube has the opportunity to be a leader because really since Pac only a few have stepped up and taken that title. Really outside of the work Snoop did with Doggystyle there has not been a label to really step forward and showcase talent. I don't know what Cube has up his sleeves but WC albums I am sure will not be the only thing coming from him. And if that WSC album ever comes out soon, he has got to be in the running for it.
