The “facts”—the reality inserted into the lyrics of diss rap whenever disputes arise between two or more rappers—have long been an unwritten norm in the hip-hop community that cannot be altered.

There are rappers who trade words, some who throw and some who catch, or those that have different “frequency” in their beliefs, way of life, or lyrics.

These rappers readily pick sides to “des troy” one another and even start actual feuds in real life.

The strong animosity between the two forces of the East and West of the United States is one of, if not the most severe and iconic confrontations in the underground world’s history.

For many years, the US East Coast has been regarded as the “cradle” of hip-hop. This culture, which is rich in diversity and unique personality, was born in New York City. If the East Coast is home to well-known rappers like Nas, Jay-Z, Diddy, and Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie), the West Coast is not far behind, boasting legendary artists like Dr. Dre, Suge Knight, and Shakur (2Pac).

Speaking briefly of the distinctions between the two regions, the West Coast is well-known for its conventional g angster rap style, while the East Coast “claims dominance” with its original, classic hip-hop style.

The music of the East Coast is primarily based on samples of jazz, funk, and joul pieces. The lyrics lead and reflect on societal issues and challenges in urban living, and they are rich in language and storytelling with a soothing tone.
