Until a coast can come with as many artists selling a lot of records like the south does (T.I., Luda, Jeezy, Wayne etc.) then no the south is still on top..yes a lot of them flop, but then agian u gotta take into consideration that the south is the region that drops the most mainstream albums

might be the west next year with Detox, snoop's new record, Game's new record and Ice cube. Not too mention the up and comers like Bishop, ya boy and g malone.

It's not about record sales, its about airplay, and video countdowns and ****. Whoever gets played the most = whoever gets shoved down your throat the most = whoevers gonna be the face of hip-hop for the 3 or so years they have their "reign".
I think it's slowly becoming more even in representation, and the east and west are about to drop alot of stuff, so we'll see what happens. It's about the sound more than the region, though. Even eastcoast and westcoast rappers have been adopting the southern style in beats (which isnt a bad thing inherently, by the way). Just gotta wait and see who the next trendsetter is gonna be.

People need to get past all the retarded shit of East Coast / West Coast / South / Midwest. Dumbfuck music execs pump your ears with that shit like it matters. It doesn't.
There's good music and bad music from everywhere in the US and the world.
2ndly, quit fucking thinking that SALES EQUAL QUALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Large sales or lack of sales COME AFTER THE MUSIC WAS MADE. SALES DON'T DICTATE WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT ISN'T GOOD. Form your own fucking opinions people.
If you boast that your favorite rapper is the #1 seller, you are pathetic. If you boast that your favorite artist makes the best music and you have a legit arguement backing it up then you get a pass.
Class dismissed.

real shit man, the TI's sell alot but they aint that good, the best MC's Budden, Cassidy, some of them have never went gold maybe they did with their last albums but not much past 500k, people look at the charts and see that these dudes is #1 so it must be dope, fuck that
