That was never my statement.I said those artist represent apart of what cultural offering Atlanta puts out.No one said anything about "where they are from".L.A. and NYC have been talked about thus far on here like all those people that come through their studios and and broadway actually represent every individual city.They dont culturally.
Country music = Nashville culture.Are all country music artist from Nashville?No

Yeah sure Ghetto ATL is the only place with lowly rappers. Surely high class culturally refined Pittsburgh doesn't have anything of the sort.

Live from Pittsburgh. Only one of the biggest rap songs out today.
