Says the Results of Last Week's Poll
I wasn't sure what to think when I was putting together last week's poll. On the one hand, it's a fairly common sentiment in hip-hop circles that a lot of southern rap sucks balls. But as the Bun B incident proved, it's also true that southern rap has no shortage of defenders on the Internet.
The results:
The South (178 votes)
Hispanics (146 votes)
The Bay Area (53 votes)
So the South ended up winning, er, losing. Actually, I was surprised that hispanics got as many votes as they did. I can only take this to mean that people are beginning to bend to my point of view when it comes to illegal immigration and also reggaeton, both of which have been a scourge on the black community.

In lyrical terms, the South has barley anyone that can rap. But I mean, look at Three 6 Mafia... lyricists? Hell no. "Tear The Club Up" isn't about being sick on the mic, its about partying and all that.
Some rappers from the south ARE some-what lyricists, though.
Look at Lil Wayne. Not that great of an MC, sure, but he's sicker than most Southern rappers so he is kind of (and no hate on Weezy, the kid is fly at spittin sometimes) "miraged" and glorified.
And btw, who the fuck made this poll? I'm making a new one...
