THE OFFICIAL TOP 25 ARTISTS FROM EACH REGION, BY SFLKJR :WOW:

[Super Future Luther King Jr.]

This one was difficult brehs

I very much cheated and included various groups and associated acts/members, as well as honorable mentions for each region, so a few of these could be considered Top 25 - Top 50 lists



but it is what it is, just my opinion and it's all in fun. Feel free to critique away, I'm 29 btw, so let's see how I did to y'all older heads



Anyways, there is absolutely NO ORDER, or I would've never finished...
I did LOOSELY base all of this off each artists' overall impact in the game, strength of their catalogue/discography, popularity, career longevity, skill of course, etc



These are NOT necessarily MY favorite artists, I attempted to be as unbiased and objective as possible, once again, it was tough



Here. We. Go.

I'm pretty sure I was LIT that night off the live resin fam so I prolly just slipped up



I was working on a similar list as this but for all producers from each region never really materialized...

But I'm sure he was one of the 25 for the Midwest for that list
