West coast has Doggystyle, East Coast has Ready To Die. wtf the south and Midwest got?

[Chip Skylark]

This is hard because most don’t realize how different sounds are down south

Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Georgia all have different sounds and influence so I can’t just pinpoint 1 album.

 

[ManBearPig]

College Dropout is one of the best albums ever.

 

[Apprentice]

The Midwest got Finally Rich

 

[Sccit]

AQUEMNI FOR THE SOUTH

E.1999 FOR THE MIDWEST

GET IN WHERE U FIT IN FOR THE BAY

North Carolina Classic just b/se it exist and put the state on hip hop map, not b/se it was a really amazing album or anything.

When I found out he was LITERALLY from round the way, I was like we made it

Yall NY, NJ, PA, CA, TX, GA, TN, LA, FL, IL, MO, OH folks had 28 years of artists to represent your areas and all NC listeners could do was support good music from wherever.....but to have your home state, FINALLY in 2001, with an artist with a major studio album and a huge single was SUCH A BIG MOMENT as a NC Hip Hop Fan!

 

[28 Gramz]

400 Degreez and TM101 for the South.

E.99 for Midwest.

 

[keon]

Thug Motivation 101
E Eternal 1999

This is the only correct answer.

 

[Wacky D]

"ghetto d", "400 degreez" and especially "e.99 eternal" are all better than "ready to die".

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

Doggystyle didn’t get 5 mics

Outkast Aquemini did

[HollywoodP]

not sure what aspects of Doggystyle or Ready to Die you're looking for in a southern or midwest album. Classics that were absolute mainstream smashes? E.99 would certainly fit that. TM101 would as well. Though only Jeezys was a debut (technically) like Big and Snoop.

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

I mean you gotta add Nelly Country Grammar for Midwest as well. It’s an essential album went diamond too.
