Replying to My ranking of the top 4 cities that produce good hip-hop
Here is my ranking of the top 4 cities that good produces good hip-hop.
1) New York, NY
Pretty obvious explanation...wu-tang, jay-z, biggie. So many people.
2) Los Angeles, CA
Tupac...along with all of compton
3) Seattle, WA
Artists like the Blue Scholars and Grynch are taking the hip-hop genre by storm. By far some of the best lyricism comes out of this city (trying to be unbiased here) and culture really shines through in the beats. I personally love the Seattle style because it's very unique.
4) Philadelphia, PA
The Roots are arguable one of the greatest hip-hop bands ever, and a similar-sounding, but all-live band Philadelphia Slick resides in the city as well. Illadelphia got soullll
5) Minneapolis, MN
Two bands stand out in my mind : Atmosphere and Doomtree. There are many more underground hip-hop artists all around the Midwest, though. All the hip-hop I've heard out of MN has been good, but I think the kids from there on NS can help you out with that more than I can.
Agree, disagree? What's your ranking?
