The list is sorry as hell.

I'd agree with your choice of older generations. I'd also agree with DJ's Trick Daddy for that generation. For my own (presently 23), I think I'd put it between Ross and Plies.

Disclaimer: This is simply picking who defines my state, not necessarily rappers I really care about.

Plies is made fun of pretty frequently by hip-hop heads but he does rep Florida for sure. Most of his thug life songs (especially the deeper ones about poverty and people dying and shit) really remind me of some of the rougher places in Tampa. He truly represents the poor/struggle side of things much more than Ross does.

I really, really hate to include him....but...Pitbull is pretty representative of a Floridian lifestyle too, lol. One the majority of Floridians aren't too proud of. That whole shallow, flashy Miami wannabe-celebrity-clubbin' all night lifestyle. If you've ever lived in Florida (especially South Florida), You've seen this shit in action.

As for who I'm most psyched/proud of from Florida. That would be motherfucking Spaceghostpurrp. Strange to think he's from South Florida 'cause his music is so out there.
