Rappers That Single-Handedly Put Their City/State/Country On The Map?

[bossflossy]

Gotta uncle in Kansas City and C-Bo & Killa Tay put me on to them before Tech N9ne.

c-bo and killa tay had an inroad there because of rich the factor. rich the factor was outselling major label artists back in the day and he's the one that opened it up to bay and sac rappers, by featuring them on his songs

 

[bossflossy]

mix a lot put seattle on

Master p put Louisiana on the map imo

Via the bay area

what??

master p first two albums he was claiming richmond califorina. then he put out a compilation called west coast bad boyz. he repped richmond to the fullest. e-40 started making more money down south than in the bay and that's when master p went back and reinvented himself as a down south rapper from new orleans

Alright so who put Brooklyn on?

We can easily say Wu tang for Staten Island and Krs for the Bronx.

But who's that one Brooklyn rapper that sticks out the most? Keep in mind Brooklyn was already a staple before hov

Prob Kane but Biggie did took it to another level that nobody besides Jay has been able to Match

Kardinal Official out of Canada?

Drake did more as far as mainstream exposure

kardinal is the one that showed that place even existed to hip hop folks. canada is right there and most americans think of it as a million miles away. when kardinal first dropped it was ' a rapper from canada?' that's odd

How about Kos, he been rapping from Canada since the 90s. And he had a big hit.


And what about Choclair and Saukrates?

The lox and dmx for Yonkers

Beastie Boys for Brooklyn or nah?

How do I sound stupid? WHO the fuck is Cut Master D.C.?

Do you even understand the point of the thread? Its not who repped it first.

Think of NWA for compton, which spawned Comptons most wanted, Dj Quik and the entire gangsta rap LA Scene. And made Compton a known city throughout the world til this day.

Then you got Snoop who everybody and they momma know that LBC stand for Long Beach city thanks to him. And he brought all his homies with him.

I can make a thread right now asking who tf is cut master D.C. and you'll be the only one who knows.

Have you EVER heard the expression "Brooklyn's In The House"

Be honest, have you ever heard that expression before?

And you say KRS put The Bronx on the map. But Hip Hop started out in The Bronx and KRS came out in 1986.

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Miss me witht that shit. People been saying is in the house for the longest when repping their cities

Is "insert city" in the house. You mean to tell me he coined the phrase?

And going by your logic then Ronnie Hudson put LA on the Map


"In the city of Compton" LA, Watts and whatnot.

 

[SELASI_i]

Kansas City is on the map though? Cmon man. Other then Tech Nine name 1 rapper from Kansas City. Haha

Rich The Factor...

Your opinions on UK rap aside but

Dizzy Rascal was the one that paved the way for UK rappers in mainstream hip hop.

Not Slick rick, not monie luv.

Dizzy! The first rapper played around the world that didn't speak Queens english and spoke how the people really speak over there.

Do yall agree?

@englishdude @CeLLaR-DooR @blue_london

Whilst Wiley was the godfather of grime dizzy put us on the map. Kano had a run too but "boy in da corner" paved the way.
