No they don't
Other cities support their local talent. This city doesn't even do that
Nah dude is right, everybody feels that way about their city.
Here in Houston nikkas shyt on the local talent until they somehow blow and make themselves undeniable.
Houston the 3rd most populated Metro Area in the USA and has only produced 3 relevant artist in the past 5 years. Travis Scott, Sauce Walka, and Maxo Kream.
The city would hate on Travis with "He's not from Houston, he's from MO City, he's weird." it wasn't til he left the city and became an undeniable star that people finally started to give him some props.
They probably would have hated on Sauce Walka from the jump without the Rap-A-lot/Drake cosign, but once that fell through everybody started hating on dude.
Maxo puts up big numbers on youtube/streaming/touring, but nikkas still be acting shocked in the city like "Damn people are really fans of Maxo?" on some dry hating shyt.
Our closest thing to a new young star, was Trill Sammy and it was his own city that hated on him the hardest and tried everything in their power to destroy him.
People often think about the Rap-A-lot/Swishahouse waves as proof that Houston supports its artist, but nah. That was J. Prince laying down law and forcing Houston radio to play mostly Houston artist at one point. You had to shove Houston rap down Houstonians' throat to make them like and respect it.
