Ya I like both, but all I use to listen to back in the day was just gangsta shit.......just love hearing them mobbed out beats. But then the lyrics got a little too repetitive....so then I got into the more Hip Hop shit. theres alot of rappers that rap street but keep it hip hop like Hiero, LL, Rasco, Planet Asia, Dr.oop Capone ect... They rap about all kinds of subjects you can relate to. Now the only gangsta shit I like is the creative gangsta rappers like Andre Nickatina, San Quinn, E-40, First degree, Yuk, Bro lynch hung ect...
But for some reason I love the west coast shit more than anything. theres tight east coast shit too like Eastern Conference, Def Jux, Mobb Deep, Camp Lo, Big L(rip), and others. I guess it all comes down to I like anything with good lyrics and tight beats.
