Considering New York has rappers from a bunch of different cities not New York City, that cancels New York. If you were to say what state has the illest rappers maybe then yes. But they all come from different cities, so that doesn't really go hand in hand.

I tend to favor Detroit.. They produced my favorite rapper, Obie Trice, plus Royce Da 5'9" along with Eminem and D12.

I live in the metro area, but to be honest, I havn't heard much from our city.. Any artist suggestions?

Obie Trice is wack. Royce is nice, but not doing a whole lot. Em hasn't had a solo album in a couple years. D12 is the wackest rap group of all time, and an embarrassment to all the real rappers from Detroit

Atlanta has the number one selling album with Outkast (whose on pace to be the first rap group to go Diamond (10 Million Copies))

Trillville/ Lil Scrappy are gold. Yin Yang went double platinum. Lil Jon went Triple Platinum. Ludacris will soon make it to 5X Platinum for the third time. Not to mention, R&B people like Usher, 112, and Monica doing their thing.

Then you've still got Youngbloodz, Goodie Mobb. Pastor Troy, T.I. (Platinum also) and soon to be me :mad: NY and ATL are neck and neck. Everybody else just has like 1 or 2 noteworthy people. You have to combine everybody in the midwest just to fuck with ATL which is one city. The West Coast is a fucking joke right now. And the East Coast is gettin outshined now that Jigga stepped down. Yall are gonna have to face it sooner or later. The south is running this :mad:

^Yes we fuckin got Rappers dont sleep. There are plenty of rappers in Maryland who just cant make it to New York because getting discovered out of maryland is almost impossible. If you can make it here you can make it anywhere. But there are plenty of R&B artists and gospel Artists from here and we all know about go-go. But anyway...there are plenty of rappers here people just dont know about. A lot from New York come here. Because Maryland is a big spot for drug trafficing, many of those people who also rap come here they even hide out here...mane yall just dunno, we gotta school these kids yo.

Wrong. MC's from the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten, or Manhattan are indeed MC's from New York City. These are the 5 neighborhoods that NYC is comprised of. So MC's from any of these areas are MC's from NYC regardless. The list is way too long to name them all. Remember, NYC is easily the most densely populated city in the US with 9 million residents. Obviously, this breeds a lot of MC's. The next largest city is LA with only 3 million.

After NYC I'd have to go with LA. Even though I prefer the East Coast Style, historically there have been hundreds of dope MC's stemming from the LA area. Although they aren't "popping" right now that can easily change in one day because they are talented out there. The list is too long to name them all as well.

After LA, I'd go with Philly. Vinnie Paz, The Roots, High & Mighty, Bahamadia, Jus Allah, Journalist, - not many MC's that I'm interested in but no other city comes to mind.

After Philly, I'd go with Detroit. Eminem and Royce respectively.

After Detroit, who I guess I'd go with Ohio. I like the Wu affiliates that stem from this area (Killah Army).

I don't like anyone or anything from the South, so I'm not going to even bother mentioning them.

In my opinion

Chi-Twon got ill cats when it comes to flo that's the main foucs you gotta peeps like Kanye Twista and Shuana all nice

Philly got it when you looks a puns and gangsta shit Cass Beans Ness etc

AtL got it when it come to crunknes and sales fa sho Lil Jon Pastor troy etc (it's so many)

as far as best overall recongnition LA got it cats like Dre and Snoop are idealized by thousands even today...

Runners up

Detroit
Miami
Houston
New orleans(Master P's fallen off)

Obie Trice is wack.
^ I can't believe anyone would say this. All peeps hear is Got Some Teeth and The Set-up off Cheers and they automatically think that Obie's wack. Got Some Teeth was the one fun song off the CD and I don't like The Set-up particularly. You gotta listen to Look in my Eyes, Don't Come Down, Average Man, and OH. Plus there's all his shit off Invazion and the shit he did on Shit Happens w/ DJ Butter..

Obie's ill, so leave that shit alone.

AND, all that southern Crunk mess is the worst form of noise I have ever heard. I don't even call that shit music. The only time Lil' John is entertaining is when his ass is on Chappelle's Show.

I'll say it again. Obie Trice is wack. Nearly everybody over at that label is wack, except for 50. Obie and D-12 all follow the same formula, just like Eminem. Their first single is always some wack ass piece of garbage, that's either supposed to be humorous, or dissing pop stars. Same old shit. I know everything they'll say before they open their mouths. At least 50 tried to change it up with his first single. Besides, who needs Obie when we've got Royce?

And yeah, a lot of southern music is garbage to people. But you're only mentioning the party rappers. Yin Yang, Lil John, etc are not lyricists. They're party rappers. Stuff you listen to in the club or in your car. Not shit you listen to in your headphones. ATL has Canibus, T.I., Ludacris, and Outkast as far as lyricists go. And there are a lot of other underground ATL lyricists who you've probably never heard of before

Me being one of em :mad:

05-25-2004, 02:21 PM
Um, Canibus is not orginally from Atl though i don't think i believe he this a resident , but yea i think obie trice is wack for some reason i can't stand him also em ...man fuck that the whole lable including 50 is wack.....Royce is nice tho got to agree with that

No doubt. The Roots. I also like Freeway, he's got a cool flow and voice n' shit. I know, kinda pointless post. I like a lot of stuff from the (for lack of a better word), underground hip hop scene out in cali. Hieroglyphics and Jurassic 5. I don't know if you'd call them underground, that word doesn't really do them justice. I'm just sayin it's no Dre or Cube, na' mean?
