If there is any one thing (well we know it's more) that everyone around the country HAS to agree with, it is that West coast artists and producers have much more longevity than those from the East and South. Of the big rappers on the east from 10 years ago, who is still doin anything near the top of their game? Even tho Snoop Cube Dre DJ Quik and many others are nowhere near where they used to be, they are still the best at what they do. But lookin at all the big east coast acts from the 80s and early 90s, and half of em aren't even remembered. Even those who were the biggest like Run DMC (before JMJ passed) and KRS can't come with albums anywhere close to the level of what they did back in the 80s.

That's true...the west DOES have a lot of seasoned vets.
