The King is the boss. The king is the one rapper than controls everything in his area. His the big boss, and in order for the rest of the coast to be heard, either they have to go through him, or they have to sound like him.
The East - Nas, after his battle with Jay-Z, everybody in New York started trying to go to more real Hip-Hop. Jay-Z was the king for many years after Bigs death, but Nas took the crown in the battle, then with that crown went on to diss mags, radio stations, and put how radio politics were. His still commercially relevent, selling platnum records, well running the city. All 50 Cent people, or Jay-Z people, Jay lost the battle, dropped a flop called Blueprint 2, Best of Both Worlds flopped, and Black Album was like the great send off you give to all great rappers, but the 2 years between the battle and the Black Album was Jay-Z's darkest year. 50 Cent, well my boy was hot, and his a boss figure with his G Unit, but Nas still has the crown, until someone beats him for it, or he starts putting out flops. Jadakiss with the Lox is also in line, but Nas right now has the crown.
The West - Snoop Dogg, no questions. As of now, Snoop is the king, and has been since he came home with Top Dogg album, which put out B Please and reintroduced Snoop to the westcoast. Snoop is a boss figure, his own lable, putting out Tha Eastsidaz, Snoop's All Stars, E-White, Bad Azz, Doggy's Angels, featured on almost every song on Power 106, Snoop runs the west. Dre has done a lot, but Dre is too busy being the greatest producer of all time. Dre is not running the west, his sold out the west. Others on Snoop's tail for the crown, Xzibit is starting to come into his own, putting himself as a head figure instead of someone openning as tour. If Strong Arm Steady, and Golden State Warriors take off, then X is doing his thing. Right now Snoop is the main influince of westcoast sound, but if X takes over, the westcoast can have a more rough sound. Game is getting hot, but his not a boss, and will more than likely hit the 50 Cent rout, come out real hot, and be popular. Unless of course he can make Black Wall Street happen, and then get his own lable on Interscope and put out his acts, then he can be mentioned as potential king.
The South - Lil' Jon. Scarface of course would be king if he wants the crown. Like Snoop in the west, Scarface basically will be on top as long as he wants. Snoop though messing with out of coast people again is a sign the crown is slipping from his hands. Scarface though has the south on lock. Well, except Lil Jon and his Eastside Boyz are running everything down there. From the sound, working with Trick Daddy, who is another person in the running, and Ying Yang Twinz, and Bonecrusher, and basically everyone in the south outside of Louisana. Outside of the No Limit and Cash Money camps, the south is ran by that Lil' Jon sound, and you can't have a hit from the south without that Lil' Jon yyyeeeeeaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!!
The Mid West - they have a king? If anyone is the king, it's Eminem. Maybe Kanye soon, Nelly has an argument for the crown, that's about it. But the mid west is too diverse to have a king.
