No division between coasts or sounds? Are you serious? Cypress Hill got some play and so did Cube but in general the Chronic the first West Coast album to break through and get radio play and overall acceptance on the East Coast. Hip Hop was all about NYC..they ran shit and everyone else was hoping to get their approval or support with very little success. The Chronic came out less than a year after Tim Dog dropped Fuck Compton and the East was loving that wack ass shit. The Midwest didn't exist, the South was barely a blip on the radar screen...hell even Philly's Hip Hop scene was dead in 92. The whole East vs West, Bad Boy vs Death Row, Pac vs Biggie shit didn't just pop up and happen in 95...a lot had happened to build up to that point. Hip Hop is much less divided today than it was in 92.
