Reason: Take out video content and organize
I would participate, but I know this thread is going to be shut down.
I believe it can stay peaceful as long it's not rappers from blank suck, or rappers from my city are better than yours, this is more about what have your city contribute and finding out more about cities different scenes. So there should be anyone being defensive, and trolls don't really have angle to bash. Also this thread is about Hiphop culture in general not just rappers.
Here are some random artists from a long list of cities for anyone wondering what that city has to offer. It's not to be an all inclusive list, but just a starting point for some of those out there that may not know:
Seattle - Giant Panda
Portland - Lifesavas
Las Vegas - Dizzy D Wright
Denver - Precussions
Dallas - A.Dd+
Phoenix - Willy Northpole
San Diego - Grassroots
Alabama - Yelawolf, Dirty
Orlando - SoL.iLLaquists of Soul
Tallahassee - Dead Prez
Fayetteville, NC - J.Cole (better than given credit for, yet pretty commercial)
Raleigh/Durham - Little Brother
Kansas City - Stik Figa, Skanless City
Bolling Green, KY - Nappy Roots
Minneapolis - Atmosphere
Washington DC - Oddisee, XO, Scholarman
Baltimore - Mullyman
Boston - Akrobatik
Atlanta - Sugar Tongue Slim, Arablak, J Young, Pill, etc...
Detroit - Black Milk, Danny Brown, Random Axe
Philadelphia - Guilty Simpson, Truck North, P.O.R.N.
Norfolk - Clipse (better than given credit for)
New York City - (need I explain?) MF Doom, Dangemouse, Immortal Technique, etc...
Fresno - Planet Asia

Dallas - A.Dd+
I won't pretend to know much about the local Dallas scene (I should definitely start exploring more, though), but just want to say that A.Dd+ is indeed great. Have you heard Sore Losers? They were Dallas based, but are now in LA, so not sure if they count anymore.
Is anyone from Dallas on some real sh? Not this "whoop swag" crap or South Dallas swag stuff.
