east ran hip hop until the Chronic dropped in my opinion.then west rap hip hop until Pac died. then east took back over for a few years and then the south started taking over in the 2000's at some point. don't forget G Unit had the east coast as the hottest thing in the early 2000's....as well as Nas, Jay Z and (somehow) Ja rule lolafter awhile though the south, mostly by way of wack ass rappers, took overthe best southern rappers to me are dudes like Scarface, Mystikal, Bun B, Pimp C, UNLV, 3 6 Mafia, Skinny Pimp, 8 ball and mjg etc. rappers who put in lots of work before they got famous (minus UNLV who got fucked over by Birdman)the rappers from the south who ARe famous? dudes like lil wayne, young jeezy, rick ross, wacka flocka, gucci, birdman, TI and oj da juiceman. go figure.ps: the midwest has never ran shit despite having dominant acts like Eminem, Bone Thugs, MC Breed, Royce da 5'9, ICP, Kid Rock, Atmosphere etc. sad because Detroit is the 2nd best rap city in rap history (outside NYC). but what can ya say.

Why would southern Hip Hop go anywhere? The south has been dropping hits for years.

the south has always had a strong presence in hip hop. in the 80's Mannie Fresh was already doing his thing, so was Rap-a-Lot. commercially, they reached their peak in the 00's but artistically their prime was in the 90's pretty much everywhere : ATL (Outkast, Goodie Mob), Memphis (36M, Playa Fly, Tommy Wright III, 8ball & MJG), H-Town (Geto Boys, Big Mello, Screwed Up Click, South Park Coalition, Street Military), New Orleans (Big Boy Records, Parners N Crime, Black Menace, No Limit Records, Cash Money), etc.I don't think hip hop will die down anywhere, and the south is still as vibrant as it once was, it's just the agenda the mainstream is pushing which fucks it all up. back in the day mainstream music meant quality music, despite what some people might have said at the time (i.e. east coast critics), musically the south was on another level. nowadays, everything is watered down and they try to cut as much cost as possible so you'll get shitty beat and shitty soulless music to try to emulate what a&r think are hot and are palatable for the youth.
not true man. im almost sure him and gregory dee was signed to a major and dropped a project
