Hip Hop Scene in Texas cities (Houston, Dallas: high school, gangs, rated)

[jluke65780]

I'm beginning to notice lots of artist from Texas releasing lots of music, especially from cities like Houston and Dallas. Waco seems to be growing into a hip hop city as well with Strange Fruit and a few other upcoming artist.

Nothing new here...

Houston has been known as a Hip Hop & Gangsta Rap city since the late 80's with groups/artists like the Geto boys & Scarface.

Dallas is just now starting to get noticed & recognized state wide in the Hip Hop world, but has failed over the years to ever produce any outstanding main stream talent.

Waco is a joke.

Houston has had a pretty good scene for nearly 20 yrs.

Houston is the only think cracking in texas, the rest of the state is pretty much dead, which is sad, cuz we a huge freaking state, i know the d.o.c was from dallas, and dj premier, one of nys best producers, is originally from houston.

its not dead its just Houston is the only hip hop scene thats broken into the mainstream. Everything else is as of now purely underground.

Exactly

Texas has a lot of "underground" guys trying to break out into the mainstream, but so far only Houston has been able to produce those artists.

It seems like everyone & their mom wants to be a Rapper/Hip Hop act nowadays, but in reality only the ones with true talent make it in an already overly saturated & watered down genre.
