I think the South has the worst rappers & my username is about one lol.Sure, they have good rappers. But they also have Gucci Mane, OJ Da Juiceman, Shawty Lo, Soulja Boy, D4L, Dem Franchize Boys & whoever made that "Stanky Leg" song.But I'd say as far as rapping goes, East, West & Midwest have them covered.Who does the South have? Andre & Scarface & Jay Electronica? Maybe 3000 & Face 10 years ago, but in 2010 I'll take plenty of rappers over them.& Jay is amazing, but he doesn't even use that "southern sound" with the production or lyrically & "surprise, surprise" he's the best lol.

So what? That doesn't mean its a worse place for hip hop. I mean the East coast has more rappers considered great than the west coast. But you don't see people going around saying west coast hip hop sucks or East >>> West. Some regions just get more attention than others.

But you don't see people going around saying west coast hip hop sucks or East >>> West. Some regions just get more attention than others.Yeah, but the South's worst is easily the worst of the worst.& as far as attention goes, I'd say the South gets more than any region. The West is all underground & irrelevant, the East has basically Jay-Z & Fab that get radio play, unless I'm forgetting someone & the Midwest only has Eminem & Kanye (which is a major part of the radio today). But then the South gets T.I., Luda, Wayne, Ross & then whatever wack one hit wonder single that the terrible rappers I named in my previous post made. So they get plenty of attention, but I think the best of the best rappers on every other coast are better than the best of the best in the South.Think about it, there aren't many great artists coming out of the South; I don't think T.I., Luda, Wayne, Ross or even Chamillionaire are that great. Basically my point is, lets just say those rappers rapped the same & claimed another region, I would put them on the B list of artists for that region.

I wouldn't call those the best of the best....you just named off the mainstream Southern rappers.Just out of curiosity, who do you consider the A listers for each region? East, west, midwest and south

East, west, midwest and southI hate things like that because I also forget people, but..East - Nas, Black Thought, Joe Budden, Mos Def, Joell OrtizMidwest - Eminem, Common, Royce, Esham, Kanye, Tech N9neWest - Crooked I, Murs, Bishop, Xzibit (West is actually a lot weaker than I thought, but still better than the South)South - J. Cole (if you count him), Jay Electronica, Bun B & that's honestly about it.Take into account that this is just in today's game, otherwise, Rakim, Wu-Tang, Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Outkast, Face, etc. would all be named on their respective coasts.EDIT: Forgot Hopsin on the West & Lupe is pretty close for the Midwest.
