Jimmy Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 im gonna stick my neck out and say Detroit. mainly due to Danny Brown. I was thinking about this the other day as Guilty Simpson mentioned Detroit in a rhyme. I also watched that Ice T film about Rapping (i recommend it) and it kind of got me wondering to. so just wondering what DV thinks, thought it'd make an interesting thread. GO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00ban Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Lol Jim So you heard Detroit in a song and figured the best rappers come from there essentially? I'm not sure you've thought this through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Lol Jim So you heard Detroit in a song and figured the best rappers come from there essentially? I'm not sure you've thought this through. well it triggered the thought. admittedly my answer is a rash choice but i thought i'd throw it out there.it appears the correct answer is NYC i thought it'd end up between NY and maybe LA.

doppelkorn Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The answer in NYC. I don't think I've ever heard a rapper out of Manchester I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blak Randy Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Detroit is a complete shithole ghetto. Hence the fact that detroit has produced the greatest black music over the last 50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 would the answer change is the question was 'favourite' or maybe, which city is your fav rapper from... or would that just be NYC as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doppelkorn Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 My answer would still be NYC to be honest but others might have different answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Detroit is a complete shithole ghetto. Hence the fact that detroit has produced the greatest black music over the last 50 years. Historically speaking, especially if you extend the period of time to last 60-65 years, I'd take Chicago, Memphis, NYC and New Orleans over Detroit all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dissonance Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 NYC, hands down! I really think it has to do with population density. Steve's list of "Bs", really brings the point home. I can't think of more than 5 emcees from Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdiggla Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yeah, huge population and they got a big jump on everybody being the locale of rap origions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jopa. Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 i love danny brown, but nyc hands down. i rap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broke Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 You have to look at the sheer number of dope rappers coming out of NYC. As someone pointed out, it's the birthplace of the culture. I love Danny brown too (and Guilty Simpson) but I can't pick Detroit based on that alone. Freddie Gibbs is a current fave of mine but I'm not going to say Gary, Indiana.

mattnice Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Detroit did bring us Obie Trice and he got some Teeth. So as he did a song about teeth i have to agree with Jimmy.How many New York rappers did songs about teeth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
