Don't forget people used to move to the west or the east to chance their rap careers.Can't name any at the moment but I'm sure there are plenty.The guy who created the New York sound is from Texas ffs.
Xzibit still drops great consistent music, in my opinion. Big Boi dropped an album that, like you said, was "solid" that people went a little crazy over because it's better than what we usually get out of the South, but that doesn't make it great.I did forget Little Brother though. A-List.
South - J. Cole (if you count him), Jay Electronica, Bun B & that's honestly about it

I think all this topic proves is there are a lot of great Southern artists people either overlook or haven't bothered to check out yet.And tbh Cham I think your list is incredibly weak. I like Bishop and Crooked but I dont consider them the best from the west let alone better than the best artists from the south. It says a lot about the strength of your list when 2 haven't dropped debut albums yet and 1 hasn't dropped an album in years.

Don't listen to that shit, Hack. I swear to you & would put a BILLION dollar bet down on it, in cash...in nickels actually, that if Method Man never made a solo album & was only judged based off of his work within the group of Wu-Tang, he'd still get the same love he gets today & people would still say he's amazing.

Sounds better than he has in years
