west coast rap was generally more of the "gangster" rap while east coast was smooth and easy listening. west coast had made songs using samples from 70's disco and funk these beats became known as "g-funk". west side also implemented more freestyle rap and had a chorus in their songs. east side however, used the smooth sound of jazz and added the nice effect of turn tables. the east side flowed more to the beat of the beats and west coast was generally getting a point across while still flowing with the beat to an extant.
I Personally Like East Coast Better. :)
there are all types of rap music like gangsta rap, hardcore rap, alternative rap, East Coast, West Coast, South etc.
Originally the modern rap style started in the Bronx, New York and then the west coast movement started in the 80's and started the East Coast West Coast rap war which ended in the death of Tupac Shakur in 1996 and Biggie Smalls in 1997.
West Coast Rap-The First Dynasty was created in 1992.
The East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry was a feud in the early-mid 1990s between artists and fans of the East Coast and West Coast hip-hop scenes. Seeming focal points of the feud were West Coast-based rapper 2Pac (and his label, Death Row Records), and East Coast-based rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (and his label, Bad Boy Records).There was a time biggie and PAC where friends but PAC accused him of the first time 2pac got shot that's how the fued started

Eminem's significance is the change me made to Hip Hop. Eminem helped effectively end the East Coast vs. West Coast rap feud with his entry into rap. He loved 2Pac for his lyrics and did not brag about the West Coast success in his songs. Eminem helped bring an end to the Gangsta Rap Era, although major gangsta rappers still exist they are much less prominent.
It might mean that's "the city." Tupac was very proud of the West Coast rap game and where he came from. I think that line just may be for his pride against the East Coast.
tupac played one of the more signifigant roles in the feud. with dre and suge knight making good out of their record lable, death row, tupac signed on and his music started to gain wide spread reconiztion through out east and west coasts. biggie on the other hand was already out promoting his east coast style which would ultimatley be tupacs greatest compititor. as a result tupac glorified west coast rap. tupac was a major contributor in this fued. he did multiple things in favor of westcoast.
Alot of pepole resect biggie becuse durring when the wesr coast controled hip-hop music he was the one east coast artist that blew up and he brought back east coast rap music
Rap originated in the Bronx, Now if that's west side or east side I don't know, I'm sure you can figure it out! :)
