Maybe it is just me being naive, but I don't think coast has anything to do with the "hardcoreness' of the rapper. True gangsta rap did originate in LA/CA, but the idea of living by guns and drugs was just as much of a NYC thing too. I mean, Tupac said "Thug Life" but he was a high school actor and back-up dancer. Biggie slung crack and did time for it before making it big. That's where I fail to see Tupac as being more "hardcore". Yeah, he talked it and was gunned down for it, but did he really live it? Eh...I might just be talking out of my ass.
