East vs Westcoast rap?!

So, this genius though just occurred to me:
How come east coast rap is fucking ill and westcoast coast rap isn't anywhere near as dope?

I mean there's exceptions, I'm not saying all westcoast rappers suck, but generally eastcoast rappers are much better, no?

Nas, Wu, Mobb Deep, Jazzie, Biggie, Rakim etc. all the legends are from the east coast (and NY mainly).

The only rapper that can top that (imo) from the westcoast is Tupac (NY-born, maybe that has something to do with it?). Guys like Dre and Snoop (for what it's worth) aren't bad or anything, but they're not up to par. I gotta admit I'm not a big fan of the 'west coast sound' though.
Odd Future definitely is awesome and doing something new, so let's not about those guys.

Oh, and let's keep nerds like Weezy outta this...

Am I totally forgetting something? Or is it about taste?

Okay... great.

You didn't even pair up the best west coast rappers.

Pac and Dre VS. Biggie and Nas

That seems like a much better rap battle.

Let us not forget the Midwest... (including the south and all of the forgotten states)

Luda and Twista
Bun B and Chamillionaire
Tech and Andre 3000
Atmosphere and Cudi

Im kinda over talking about the same rap battles over and over and over again. They were all greats! Throw some new names out there...

West would be like...
Game
E-40
New Boyz, kreayshawn and lmfao (they laugh at themselves)
Keek
Nickatina i guess
The Grouch
imortal technique

Thats just off the top of the dome. Add your list and pair up sick rap teams.

Macklemore, Common Market and Blue Scholars are all much more similar to eachother than pretty much any other rappers mentioned in this thread...?

disagree. macklemore is not like blue scholars or common market. Also disagree with the cat; macklemore is a different style of hip hop that some people may not like, but he doesn't suck.
