This is laughable considering none of the actual dope southern artists were relevant when the South started blowing up... It's fukked up that the cats from the 90's that were slept on didn't really get any of that fame/love instead we had random trash that didn't deserve it. It's fukked up that dope cats like ugk, goodie mob, south circle, Scarface, odd squad, eightball & mjg, etc... were essentially putting their time in on that slot machine trying to win and then once their primes were over seemingly every mediocre southern rapper came by jumped on that same slot machine and hit the jackpot on the 1st try... OutKast were the only one of the original southern rappers from the 90s who won.
I've always been an east coast hip-hop cart but I fukked with west coast & southern rappers that I found dope, sadly in the 90s the south wasn't given a fair shake despite them having actual ill MC's unlike the wack dudes that took over hip-hop in the mid 2000's.
