There is a lot of good rappers on the East. But of course hands down is DMX IMO. I like Can-i-bus too. But LL ripped him a new one so aint heard of him since.

Your crazy man & obviously you really don't listen to lyrics? Nas might not be your style, but there is no way you can say its weak? LISTEN to the lyrics...
Some Bay area music is cool, but it gets boring IMO. 95% of it has no substance. I would rather listen to something that has substance rather than something thats about goin dumb... Mac Dre, Classic Too Short, Spice 1, 415 & most of the 90's bay shit is on point, but most of the new stuff sounds the same IMO... Locksmith is raw though...
808's have been around way before Bay area cats have been using it? Miami Bass music back in the 80's, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, hell even Phil Collins uses 808...

Not many. I agree, most think any type of deep bass sound is an "808" LOL...
808 came from the classic TR808 drum machine which was produced by Roland in the 80's.

I'm from the Bay Area.
With that being said, if you take every rapper from here and every rapper from NY.. on average, lyrically/bar for bar the Bay Area would not stand a chance with them. 99.999% of the Bay Area artists would NOT hold their own lyrically if Slaughterhouse featured them on a track. And 2 of the 4 from Slaughterhouse are from the East Coast. Being gangsta or having a dope ass uptempo 808 beat doesn't make you a dope emcee. There's a reason why Game blew up, it's cause he had the respect from the East Coast for being a lyrical West Coast artist. Same shit Mistah FAB, Ya Boy, Jay Rock, Locksmith and Crooked I are doing now.
Ja Rule better than Nas? Name a song Ja Rule made that was more creative than "Rewind." ......... don't worry, I'll wait.

1981 to be exact i could be wrong but i doubt thati know my gear pretty well.thats funny you guys say that because i have a little cuzin that thinks everything is a fuking 808.i was making a beat and the other day and had a nice kick drum goin and was about to lay down a bassline and soon as he heard a lil boom that had a ride to it he was like,there goes that 808.in all relaity it was a bass guitar that i tweaked to give it a little more bottom..lol

i mint tr808 can run you about 1800 thats with out the midi expansion.or you can get one with a few blemishes for about 800 buck.you dont see them often but there are a few out there.thats like the e-mu sp12 or sp1200 drum machine old school joints but they are hittin kinda pricy.you can get some new technology for that price maybe even cheaper.but if you want that real gritty 8bit or 12bit lofi sound you gotta pay that price.
