OK when it comes to East Vs. West, hands down east coast, not only by good music and creativty, but also by numbers of great groups. East coast has so much more to offer than west. west is mostly old school which isnt bad, but i am more of a new school kinda guy, the east coast has D-12, G-unit, DTP, def jam, rockafella, RR(ruff ryders), and many more great record labels that easily blo the west coast's rappers away. I also love mid-west rap, Nelly and the ST. lunatics are awsome as well as chingy and lil flip(not sure if he is mid or dirty souf) well thats my opinion, hope u guys realize that it is the right one lol
