LOL. Jada worked for the same dude that Los is signed to now, so of course he would. Los sounds more like Gucci mane?? Lol..OK. Maybe we hear things differently.

That doesn't mean anything. Ness (from Philly) and Choppa (New Orleans) were both signed by Bad Boy. Yet they have two completely different styles.

Soooo...I'm still waiting on that Baltimore/Swizz Beats/Just Blaze/Jay-Z collaboration. Where's it at?

Do you know how incredibly irrelevant HOT97 right now?? They're Playing more Southern Artist anyway. MR Cee crying about being caught with a tranny is the only thing HOT 97 is known for at this point.

I'm talking about the freestyle hour. That's the one hour the DJ gets to ditch the commercial garbage and play what he wants.

So again, who are these DC/Baltimore artists that are moving mixtapes on 125th Street? On Broad and Erie? On Blue Hill Ave?

Soooo... Baltimore has to sound just like NYC or else they're southern? Makes no sense at all, but it's whatever. We'll disagree and leave it at that.

Nooooo.....Baltimore just doesn't make anything "northern." And artists like Comp could be easily mistaken for someone from Birmingham (that's where my wife thought he was from).

Beanie Sigel, Jadakiss, Peedi Krakk, Styles P, Dipset, Benzino, etc. all make music that's characteristically northern (brazen, aggressive and abrasive over hard ass beats). Baltimore doesn't have that sound. Believe me, a song like "Whole Lat" is not going to come out of Philadelphia, NYC or Boston no matter how ubiquitous the "Down South" sound becomes.

WTF does "Whole Lat" even mean? You speak Southern/Bawlmerese, right?

It's bad enough you have to bring up rappers nobody's even heard of. Los doesn't even have an album and just got signed last year.

When Beans dropped "the Reason" and when Free dropped "Philadelphia Freeway" under the Roc-A-Fella label, what came out of Baltimore during that time? Comp's "Whole Lat" and B. Rich is what. And Comp is clearly more well known than Los (who?) since he's been in the B-more rap game for a minute. He even has a Wiki page (the fact "Los" doesn't have one speaks volumes).

Wiki's definition of east coast hip hop is from VA Beach and up, rappers like Pusha-t,Wale,Fat Trel and Mad Skillz if you know who he is lol are not southern type rappers and they all are from Virginia and D.C., i don't think hip hop is a good way to label a place but i see where you're coming from.

The Wiki page was created by one person. Hardly authoritative. And no, I do not know who most of these no-name rappers are (except for Wale and Pusha-T).

Onyx, DMX, Eve, Styles P, Jay-Z, Nas, Beanie Sigel, Jadakiss, Fabolous, N.O.R.E. and Method Man are that "Up North" ish. Wale is not. Wale's sound (and the DC hip hop sound in general) has always been on the southern side.
