LMFAO
However, I think this whole argument is pointless, who cares who is running shit, as it were, I judge artists by the quality of their music rather than how much power they have in a certain area. Anyway, its more the producers that "run shit" commercially rather than the artists anyway, i.e. Dre, Neptunes, Timbaland defining the commercial sound of certain areas of the country.

I think Dre is the only artist above king level. I mean, he is not a king, is not even the most important figure in the west, but he is the most important figure in all of hip-hop in general. Dre has produced for 50 Cent, who you can argue with king of NY, his put out Eminem, who you can argue as king of the Mid West, and his put out Snoop Dogg, who you can argue is king of the West Coast. Dre is above king, his the proven greatest of all times in production, he puts out beats for everyone he can, from giving Ras Kass his ghetto tango beat that was off the hook, to helping out Xzibit's career, to now putting out Game. Dre doesn't run the west, the west is too small for Dre, Dre run hip-hop production, making westcoast and eastcoast beats.
CoreG37:
As far as the South and the West go, I agree with I Miss That Beeyatch. Bun B has been doing his thing for years and is hella underrated. But at the same time nobody can fuck with Outkast's success. I'd call Snoop the king of the West but when how often does he ever fuck with cats from the Bay Area. You gotta split that one with E-40. Having the Southern Cali area on lock will hardly get you king of the west in my book. On another note, I really dont give a damn who runs the east or midwest.
GangstaBoogy:
theres no way Snoop is the king of the West. yeah he always go platinum but he dont fuck with no West artist and the West dont really got love for Snoop these days. Ice Cube IS the king but cats dont wanna admit he got the crown cuz he more into movies that music.
Dre = the West Coast king. he aint fuckin with the West that much these days, but he did bring us Game (and he gone open up some gates for us). And besides, even when he producin for Busta, Eminem, 50, Eve, etc - they rappin over West Coast beats so thats still havin our sound worldwide. Snoop workin with east coast producers/rappers and dont even speak on Cali much these days.
