I didn't say there weren't intra-city differences. I said it didn't make any sense to provide nothing but examples of people who aren't even from Philadelphia. Why use examples of the suburbs to represent the city of Philadelphia? And the guy in those videos didn't even sound like someone from Philadelphia. Read the comments in the videos.
If you are referencing the videos I posted I think he sounds like someone from the far NE or lower Bucks based on my esperience
50 Cent has even more a southern twang. But guys like 50 are the exception in Queens, not the rule. And you don't hear guys in Philly and NYC making Down South rap either.
The big difference is that (1) nobody up North would ever make a song like this and (2) nobody up North would ever listen to a song like this. We're more into Sheek Louch, Memphis Bleek, Just Blaze, Swizz Beats, DJ Clue, Kay Slay, Cassidy, Styles P, Mobb Deep, Cam'ron, DMX, Foxy Brown, Eve, N.O.R.E., Fat Joe, Beanie Sigel, Hov, Nas, Ruff Ryders, Jadakiss, etc. Y'all are more into Rick Ross and southern rap (and Go-Go and Baltimore Club Music) than you are into that stuff.
Baltimore Club music isn't Southern. Please just stop. You've also gone through a bi-polar shift...you've gone from claiming Baltimore and D.C. are border to claiming they are full blown Southern. Either learn to be consistent or shut it. The fact you change your consistency shows how incredibly full of crap you are.
Philadelphia and New York City are actually part of what makes up the Mid-Atlantic Region. But when most people think of Mid-Atlantic cities Washington DC. and Baltimore come to mind. Most people seem to forget that New York City and Philadelphia are also Mid-Atlantic cites too, just like Baltimore and Washington DC are. Why do most people think of them as not being part of this region.
NYC is definitely part of the Northeast. Philadelphia might be borderline Mid-Atlantic.

Anyone that follows Hip-Hop knows that cities like Baltimore is not considered part of Southern Hip-Hop. Nice attempt at trying to distort the truth.

Actually, it's more like anybody who follows Hip Hop knows Baltimore really doesn't do Hip Hop at all. But when they do, they put out stuff that sounds like ATL trap music. Or St. Louis rap.

B. Rich was largely a copycat and just following what's hot at the time. Lets face it, he wasn't that creative. By the way St. Louis isn't considered part of Southern Hip-Hop. Just to clear up any speculations you could have.
My favorite Brooklyn/Philly collaboration. Who were the Baltimore rappers on Roc-a-fella, btw? You may be too young to remember the ROC, though. Just look it up on Wiki.
