I would say the Bay from a diversity standpoint. Few cities or areas can match it.

Even though all of cali basically has its own scene. The two main area's of interest are usually L.A. and The Bay. The main scene is mostly the underground stuff though. Since motherfuckers won't give us radio play unless we do shit party tracks most of our artist have a hard time coming up. When we do, oh you know it. lol

No he doesn't rep LBC, he just reps LA.  Kurupt doesn't rep LBC either.  Coolio is from compton I believe.

Add to the LBC: Tray Deee, Da Low Lifes, Perfec, Swoop G, Lil' C-Style, Butch Cassidy, Lil' Half Dead, Foesum, and then you have underground like Lime Block

Kurupt never repped LBC, always South Central. Xzibit always just repped LA. Coolio is from Compton. I've heard many people say that Knoc ain't from LBC though.

Over all The Bay has put out  better music than L.A. the only reason L.A. artist are more known is cuz damn near all Bay artist are indepentent and as far as the West Coast I know people listen 2 tha undaground than tha mainstream with dat being said The Bay has the best music scene on tha WEST 8)

If you are comparing the entire bay area to the LA area, then the bay has the best rap scene. But as far as individual cities I think LA has produced the most good rappers.

Currently its probably LA. A lot of bay rappers are still stuck on the hyphy gimmick and not living up to their full potential.

If you're going to put The Bay as a whole there is no question about it. The Bay. Frisco, Oakland and Vallejo have their own scenes that can compete with LA

from a history standpoint

Long Beach and Compton obviously have the biggest collection of heavy hitters as far as impact and talent

everywhere has greats though

Personally my favorite area is Inglewood (Eastwood, Mack 10, Arabian Prince, etc...)

But the area with the most notorious history is probably Compton (N.W.A, CMW, DJ Quik, King Tee, Tweety Bird Loc).
The Bay has the longest history (Too $hort, E-40, Mac-Dre, MC Hammer, Luniz) and San Fran is still struggling for it's chance in the spotlight (JT The Bigga Figga, San Quinn, Paris, Rappin' 4Tay). Then there's Long Beach, 19th Street 8) (Snoop, Crooked I, Lil C-Style, Tray Deee, Bad Azz).

But at the moment, every area has talent buzzing around. You got Game, Spider, Tyga, G. Malone, Jay Rock, Jayo Felony, Nipsey Hussle, Young Dre The Truth, Crooked. Fuck it just listen to their music.
