Been loads of dope rappers from Boston, none other than GURU one of the GOATS... Plus Term, EDO G, Joyna Lucas (i think), Slaine, Big Shug, Mr Lif, Esoteric, Akrobatik even Beninzo had a few bars...
First of all GURU repped Brooklyn. But yeah he was originally from the Bean.
I can't believe I forgot Benzino, but truthfully I think he did more to hurt the Hip Hop scene in Boston than help. RSO was one of the first rap groups in Boston, if not THEE first. They came out around 86/87 from my recollection but they never really blew up until he started messing with Eminem and then he was just known for beefing. I know he pulled some strings to get his album a 4.5 mic rating but otherwise Benzino/Made Men/Hangman 3 were never as good as the stuff coming out of NYC.
Terminology is cool but he doesn't make hits.
When's the last time you heard a song from Terminology on the radio or in a club? I bumped into him one day outside of Penn Station across the street from Madison Square Garden. It was around midnight and he was hustling CDs. I respect his grind, but I wouldn't call him a first tier artist. Not yet anyway, he still has some work to do.
