He went to the bay not LA you moron. And he was 17 yo. Dumbass can't even get that right. Lol
Pac didnt claim or move to LA, as for your general point of him being accepted as a west coast artist, your wrong.
Murkemz a AZ rapper disproves this theory, hes from NY and he reps AZ. As a AZ nikka myself, we(and I) accept Murk as a AZ rapper
^^^ you got Hip hop entities and other rappers who all see him as a AZ rap act. and part of Arizona Hip Hop
And unlike murk
Pacs style was built off Oakland unlike murk whose style is not AZish or even sound like a AZ rapper or having any west coast style.
But hes still seen as a AZ rapper. same with Pac being accepted as a Oakland rapper and a west coast legend and one of the GOATS.
so if Pac came out Today as a Oakland rapper from out of town/ Baltimore he would be accepted espescially how he would be putting on for Okaland(as he did in his career) and it would show in his music and style as a Oakland artist
Oh and lastly, pac wasn't in NY for all 17 years he moved around he traveled across this country. but of course you purposely left that out to spew your BS
Pac was damn near an adult when he moved to the bay FOH he's a New York rapper. Y'all love to make wiggle room for Pac so y'all can claim one of the greatest as yalls. Don't y'all nikkas already have enough(Mac Dre, E40, Too short etc)? You not seeing me saying Nas from ATL cause he moved to ATL for like 10 years or so
