I was thinking about this in the top 5 rappers thread and I thought it was a little more interesting. My thought in that thread was that you could give me 4 Chicago guys plus Outkast and I'd be good.
I said hip hop and not rap so that R&B style music could be included (Usher & Ciara in ATL for example).
Which would you choose?
New York?
Chicago?
Atlanta?
Los Angeles?
New Orleans?
Houston?
Philly?

If you could only listen to Hip-Hop from one city for the rest of your life?

LA easily for me.
4 of my favorite rappers are from there too.
Plus there's Kendrick and all of Black Hippy.

No, I mean Usher and Ciara aren't even from Atlanta. Originally Posted by Jailblazers7

Bay Area is a nice one. I might want so R&B so I can go with the classic Tony Toni Tone.
I'm from Houston, and can only take so much Screw and Beyonce music. I'd pull my hair out listen to "Still Tippin" and "Get Me Bodied."

Oh, ok. I wouldn't get that nitpicky. They both carved out their careers in Atlanta and are associated with that sound so I don't see why they shouldn't be included. Tupac wasn't born in LA but nobody is going to say he doesn't count as an LA rapper. Originally Posted by L.Kizzle

HOUSTON because you must also take into consideration all the rappers who have bitten off its style 100%
so you get UGK, scarface, zro, tre, paul wall chamill, slim, flip, etc...
PLUS you also get the following rappers who copied houstons style 100%:
drake, future, lil wayne, etc...
houston >>> everything
