I just disagree with TI or Luda ripping anyone from VA but that's another topic. But yes, those artists I named are Southern artists or Southern producers because they hail from a Southern state.
Yea there are many dudes from VA who would rip TI or Luda easily..Nickelus F, Quan, Skillz,Lonnie B, Danja Mowf etc..I was laughing at the comment also but I didn't even wanna address it.lol

Yeah, okay whatever. But go to someone in the rap scenes of Houston, Louisiana, or Atlanta and tell them that Timbaland, Pharrell, and Missy are down south artists. They'll look at you like you lost ur mind.
Here is a video from the hood 2 hood series in Richmond VA if you want to hear how a lot of local AA's sound/talk in Richmond VA and want to determine if they sound southern. MrMccoySays....do you believe they would stand out as not sounding southern in Dallas, ATL, NC, etc?
I will admit that Skillz does have an eastcoast sound, but in VA and NC you can find some rappers who sound southern or east as far as music is concerned, or some who sound like a mixture (Diverse state). Most locals don't talk/sound anything like Skillz tho, and hardly any locals sound anything like the Clipse in Tidewater. I think the rapper Famlay with Pharrell and Star Track sounds more like how a typical AA would sound in Norfolk, Portsmouth, etc.
To be completely honest man, I'm looking at the videos you posted and other videos on youtube of Richmond, and I'll admit that what I hear is 1/3 of the people speaking in what could be construed as a southern accent, and the other 2/3 sounding a lot like someone from DC or Maryland or even Philly (slightly).
While the Tidewater area is completely out of the question, I still do not believe Richmond is part of today's south. But it's not the north either.

Are you saying that Hampton Roads is definately part of the south, or definatly isn't?

LOL...yea right u dont even mean that...VA is not known for rappers, they have great producers....u cant be serious saying that these rappers will kill TI or Luda..LOL...they're local.....funny I must say
I think rappers are a poor barometer to use as which states are Southern or not. Rappers must embellish a lot of their dialect, in the same fashion that many of them exaggerate their stories.
At any rate, no one can tell me that Virginia isnt Southern...and very southern at that. I will admit that Richmond doesnt feel extremely southern, but it is southern imo. But the rest of the state (especially the more western/central/southern portions) are very southern imo.
And I would agree with others who categorize VA as a twin of NC..the two do feel similar.

People in Atlanta already do. As they added Virginia in the dirty south dvd back in 2004 which was made by someone from Atlanta.

I'm sorry but I'll put Quan and Danja Mowf against Luda or TI anyday. Especially Quan.

I like T.I. a lot but I think both members of the Clipse and Missy could body T.I. and Luda.

HaHA yeah I think they have a good chance..I saw the Clipse freestyling some guys at the bowling alley a couple weeks ago an they were ripping them, of course it was just local.. Missy on the otherhand, would rip T.I
