Chicago rap.

From what I know most Rap comes from The East Coast,California, Houston,New Orleans, and Atlanta. I never heard any Rap out of CHicago. All I know is Kanye West and Da Brat. Strange for such a big city Up North not to have alot of artists and producer. Even Miami which has a hot music and club scene isn't known nationally. Then there's Dallas and Austin 2 other big cities in my states 1 which is never known for music ahasn't really produced many artists nationally in any genre.

SO what's the deal. Rap Music has gonefrom East Coast, West Coast, Dirty South to where next? The Midwest? I think CHicago and Detroit aught o be full of rappers. If not The Southwest. Think Phoniex and Las Vegas have a big scene?

1. Trina & Flo Rida are the main 2 rappers from Miami that are known nationally.

2. To answer you question about what's the deal? Easy. No one from ANY region of the USA are doing anything groundbreaking in mainstream hip-hop at the moment. Right there is the real problem.

These days, I give Danja a little more credit for the modern-day Timbaland sound. wink
