The East Coast–West Coast didn't die with Biggie and Pac. The war rages on, at least for New Yorkers, but Angelenos? They just want peace, prosperity, and their 15 minutes of fame, man.

Maybe it's because Los Angeles natives are too laid back to fight about how awesome their city is (they'd rather just revel in it), or maybe it's just because they don't want New Yorkers moving in and bitching about how it doesn't meet their high standards, but it seems the Angelenos repping for their city are often overshadowed by the anti-Los Angeles venom.
