Luda always makes crunk jams, but everyone loves him. I don't know why. Dope artist but he gets a pass all the time. I-20 from DTP is someone to watch for. He's got major skill. Lil Wayne and his Sqad Up clique are still on the rise. Little Brother did get a lot of attention this year. Considering MTV featured them. Cunninlynguist had a dope but very overrated album.
For those who call Crunk music crap, that music isn't for you. If you listen to Hip Hop on your headphones, don't bother listening to Crunk shit.
And, lets see, how horrible lyrically the cats on my list really are.
Lil Flip-Freestyle King, listen to his verse on Luda's album. DAMN!
David Banner-Has a lot to say, but is mainly about production.
Youngbloodz-The new age Outkast.
Lil Jon & Eastside Boyz-Mainly about hooks and production.
Bone Crusher-Not lyrical at all, still better than Snoop.
Bigg Gipp-Rips the mic like no other.
T.I.-The South's version of a Mixtape Rapper, but with more skill.
Killer Mike-Ability to spit some amazing shit. Real freestyler.
Baby-Can't rap, but spits game second only to E-40.
Big Tymers-See Baby.
3-6 Mafia-Lord Infamous is still a lyricist, but the rest aren't. Mainly about Production.
Ying Yang Twinz-Catchy hooks, funny concepts.
JD-Production.
Timbaland-Production.
Jazze Pha-Production.
You got some dope emcees, and at least 6 of the best producers in the game all from the South. The East is NOT touching the South. The West is NOT touching the South.

Know why IMO? Self-confidence. The South knows it's got quality and, from what I can gather, everyone supports the next man and expects that support in return. No doubt it's the hottest scene right now.

It's the support mainly. Think about it this way. Someone like Lil Flip sold over a 100,000 albums of his independent record mainly in Texas and Louisana. That's major. No major radio or video play. No Source ads. No XXL ads. None of that. People bought it just to support the South. If the West did that, it'd be major too. The East is mainly just NY, that's where everyone goes to get put on. All the Philly cats, even the Jersey heads, they all need to be in NY to get play, otherwise they wouldn't get any. The South is a market all in its own. People could go platinum down there with no problem.
