growing up in the southwest there wasnt much rap that i could say really belonged to us. this is west texas/new mexico. the closest it got was the whole SPM/lil rob era with oldies beats and mexican rappers.

that said we seemed to gravitate to the west coast. i have a lot of love for g funk era music. current west coast gangsta rap? eh

i probably missed out on a lot of east coast rap because of this bias. now that ive gone through a good amount of it there is some east coast rap that i love as well as the weirdo west coast rap that i found about later.

spend some time in detroit so i definitely have a lot of love for detroit rappers.

i would say my two favorite regions are the backpacker bay sound and detroit.

my absolute favorite artist is de la soul.

so yeah, dont trust me.
