Obviously the East Coast/NY region is above and beyond any other region for Hip Hop in the US. Nobody comes close to the legends like Biggie, MF DOOM, Big L, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang, Gang Starr, Nas, De La Soul, Big Pun, Immortal Technique, Kool Keith, Pete Rock, etc.

In your opinion, which region of the US is the second most dominant in the Hip Hop industry. I'm not referring to current record sales or charts. I'm referring to over the history of Hip Hop, which regions has produced the best talent.

My Answer: Atlanta

Here's a few examples:
Outkast - Player's Ball
Gucci Mane - My Kitchen
Goodie Mob - Dirty South
Ludacris - Roll Out (GOAT)
Outkast - SpottiOttieDopaliscious
Gucci Mane - Stoopid
Shawty Lo - Put Me In The Freezer
Yung LA - Taser Gun
Outkast - Jazzy Belle
Ludacris - Phat Rabbit
Trinidad Jame$ - Females Welcomed
Ying Yang Twins - Badd
Gorilla Zoe - Hood N****
Pastor Troy - Crossroads
Outkast - International Players Anthem
Gucci Mane - Trap Star

My Answer: Atlanta


I don't necessarily disagree. LA may have something to say about it, but the ATL is up there for sure. Add Young Jeezy to that list.

LA is unquestionably #2

NOLA, ATL, Memphis and H-Town are Tier 3

I agree with all that except putting ATL above LA. The city itself blows arse but they have produced some heavy hitters.
