I've always thought the opposite. Look at the most acclaimed New York hiphop albums from the early-mid 90s: Nas: Illmatic, Biggie: Ready To Die, Mobb Deep: Infamous, Wu Tang and the Native Tongues stuff. It's music for rainy days, grey and violent with a touch of jazz, for a pessimistic-but-blunted-and-numbed atmosphere.
And the West Coast can be summarised with one term: G-funk. I don't know if it's danceable but it probably works well at barbeques.
