Original doesnt always mean better

But seriously.. Tech is the lost member of ICP.

How you goin mention predominant cities but leave out Philly, Jersey, and Oakland?

Anyway

New York City - JR Writer
Los Angelos - Ice Cube
Atlanta - Ludacris
Detroit - Myself.. btw, Royce isnt from Deroit.. He's from Oak Park.
Memphis - Three 6 Mafia
Miami - none...
Houston - Scarface
St. Louis - none..
Chicago - Common
New Orleans - none
Philly - Cassidy
Jersey - Joe Budden
Oakland - Too Short

damn that list is really diverse
From Jr to Common

Common the good one on that list though

i'll add minneapolis just so i can say brother ali for that :) werdnessism

Brother Ali is for straight up faggots.

oh
you left out Cleveland too
Cleveland - Ray Cash

Cleveland - Ray Cash? lol

You mean Cleveland - Bone Thugs N Harmony

New York City - Jigga
Los Angelos - Dre I guess
Atlanta - Ludacris when he isn't doing whack shit
Detroit - Royce
Memphis - where?
Miami - see: Memphis
Houston - see: Miami
St. Louis - Nelly, but only Country Grammar
Chicago - Lupe Fiasco
New Orleans - Lil Wayne

Brother Ali is for people who like good emcee skills. Maybe you'd like him if all he did was talk about how gangster/pimp/hard etc he was. Sadly, that's not what hip-hop is about. kthnxbye

Left out DC baby


Tha Q and Lupe Fiasco!


BEOTCH!

Ok, so what is hip hop then?

You're obviously sleepin on Ray Cash.
and the thread is "your favorite" meaning "my favorite"
Dont tell me who should be my favorite.

Do I look like I have the definitive answer to that question? No. I know what ISN'T hip-hop though, and it includes faux gangsters making 500 tracks about how gangster they are and talking about how much money they have way before they have it and in most cases never will. K? k.

You dont know what Hip Hop is but you know what it isnt?
Stfu, stop trying to seem like a guru, faggot.

Oh my bad Zone, I misread first post, I thought this was a dispute thread about the best from each city.

Anyways, nah I ain't sleeping on Ray-Cash, I got his new album, but I mean if you ask anybody who you know from Cleveland...they're going to say Bone Thugs N Harmony. They are one of the most profound groups to ever drop lyrically.

I mean there are plenty of 50 Cents, Ray-Cash's, Dipsets, and shit like that..

But only once in a great time do you find sucha good collaboration like Bone Thugs N Harmony, or emcees like Nas, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Rakim, Tech N9ne, Canibus, etc...
