Can we all agree that the MIDWEST is THE BEST REGION IN HIP HOP

[How Sway?]

So we gonna act like KANYE, Eminem, AND NELLY weren't the highest selling artists in the last decade???

So we gonna act like Bone Thugs wasn't one of the highest selling groups in hip hop rivaling Wu Tang and NWA?

We gonna act like Tech n9ne is not one of the most successful independent rap artists ever.

Are we going to act like the region did not popularize a style of flow that damn near every rapper now uses (double timed flow)

Not to mention Some of the best lyricists In hip hop period hail from the region.

I agree to the max.

I think the Midwest has been getting alot of attention and props over the last 10 years. Especially after the rise of Kanye West. I don't see how anyone could call them underrated or overlooked

 

[newworldafro]

Well I mean the InterMountain West is probably the least underrepresented......


but I know what your saying..... I'm surprised more rappers haven't come out of Kansas City, KS, Charlotte, NC ........ Denver even...

 

[Big Mel]

Detroit is the Midwest. Detroit is the bees knees.

Thats true to an extent but you cant front when people talk about regions in hip hop Its usually the East Coast, West Coast and the south.

Even when the West was dead like 6/7 yrs ago people still talked about them more then the MID

 

[How Sway?]

BUMP!

 

[ISO]

Can you also say Chief Keef is holding it down for the trap scene in the Midwest?

I overlooked the Midwest, y'all not the best though

 

[DoomzdayzV]

Double time flow started in Brooklyn with nikkas tryna toast in plain english. not the Midwest dummy. stupid ass thread for many other reasons as well.

 

[Mandizi]
