La has fallen all the way off since the nineties with hip hop. How can anyone say its a close second.
As far as randb, nyc has a pretty good standing. Alicia Keys,Mariah Carey,Mary J Blige, The late Aaliyah. Pretty hard to beat. I know im forgetting someone?

Yeah, you're forgetting a couple. But if we're talking about R&B since it began, NYC actually takes a step back behind cities like Philadelphia and Detroit. It also takes a step back from Chicago. The midwest is probably the most biggest talent for R&B.
I would sad for R&B, that either DC or Chicago (J. Holiday, Common, etc.)
For Hip Hop/Rap, it depends. Quality Rap and Hip Hop comes out of NYC for the most part now and maybe Minneapolis (Atmosphere). ATL is good, but the only quality artist from there in my opinion, is TI, and maybe Ludicrous. Most new rap sucks anyway.
I love R&B though, Jazz, Country, classic Hip Hop and some new Hip Hop, mainly TI King, who is amazing, IMO.
They only good artist out there right now who aren't commercial marketing tools are Common, Atmosphere, Clipse (Virginia Beach, baby!), Re Up Gang (VA Beach), TI.
Wayne, Jeezy, Akon, Jay-Z, 50, Em, etc, are all commercial POS now. Plus, I can't stand how they ride Obama's c**k.

Jay-z is not commercial what are you talking about pal? He is real Hip Hop.

Reason: off topic
Oh yea, I forgot what this thread was about...I believe the best hip-hop comes out of New York City, with Los Angeles coming in second. Los Angeles hasn't been producing too many great rappers for awhile (with the exception of The Game), but they had some great artists when hip-hop was at its best in the 90s.
I'm not a fan of the club/pop-hop that comes out of Atlanta and many of the other Sunbelt cities. I do like Outkast a lot, and some of Ludacris and TI. Scarface had a couple good songs too, and so did Cam'ron (is he from the Sunbelt?)
