Crucial Conflict isn't even from the Southside. Have you ever been to Chicago. My guess is no.

The most country thing you will ever see in Chicago (ever) is this and thats it, nothing else about Chicago is "country":


You sound like a troll to me, and not a very smart one at that. Have a nice day.
i ain't hatin, just statin. phillidelphia is on da EAST COAST. for y'all to be like chicago is more urban is rideculous. the whole city is around corn and wheat. if u look at cassidy, eve, beanie siegel, da roots and then look at da brat, twista and all dem dudes it's jive clear as day that philly wins by a landslide.

i offered proof and all people has said is that 'rap videos don;t count, they don't show nothin.' but that aint true becuz rap videos DO show culture and twista, da brat, and crucial conflict r products of the chicago cultrue. jay-z a product of bed-stuy, right? biggie? snoop is west coast dude and he got a laid back flow like dem other west coast dudes. because the chi is kinda country, it make sence that the rap sound country 2

HA! for real. His posts are kinda funny tho.

Other than the accent (which is watered down) there is nothing coutry or southern about Chicago except maybe the older folks. Trust me i live in North Carolina right now. Different demeanor, way of life and everything.

This is coming from a person that lives in a city that have people sell watermelon from crates out the back of pickup trucks. I, and anybody that's currently living in the Chicago area, doesn't need to watch Kanye's videos to determine if the place is country or not. I've been to the country. I've stayed with relatives in the country in Florida, Arkansas, and Texas. Chicago is not anywhere near close to being the country and to say otherwise is laughable.

You want to talk about fashion. We can have a field day with DC and Bmore people when it comes to that.

You really give us East Coast people a bad name. I agree that Chicago has a country feel to it, like all Midwest cities, but you are just stupid about it.
