I know Destiny's Child and Beyonce have Houston roots but I don't think most associate them with Houston in the way that, say, Prince represented Minneapolis. Because of the Jay-Z connection and the "New York, New York," song, most probably associate her with the East Coast. And, outside of hip-hop, I'm not sure most know who Mike Jones or UGK are.

Eminem said in one of his recent songs, "My Darling" that Paul Wall is dope.

If Eminem gives someone props that's saying a lot.

I'd like to see the two collaborate on a song together that would be awesome.

Sorta a Midwest/Detroit meets Dirty South/Houston type track.

Beyonce has a definite Southern/Houston accent. There is no mistaking her with being from New York or the Northeast even though she is married to Jay-Z & put out a song about New York.

Jay-Z put out a song about Houston, but everyone knows he's not from there because of his accent.

Beyonce reps for Houston; she just does nothing for the city. She reps for Houston a few times in her new album.

Lupe Fiasco gives Soulja Boy props. That doesn't mean he's any good. So whats your point?

Uh, Lupe Fiasco isn't even close to being on Eminem's level notoriety. Lupe can get you a good number of "Who?" but Eminem gets you an instant recognition.

Seriously mate, I don't know what they teach you in your school, I don't know what you're on, but some of the questions you ask, statements you made, are absolutely out of WHACK.... Seriously?

There's supposed to be a bunch of them in The Woodlands.

Celebrities don't go where it's pretty or anything like that.
Celebrities go where "the national media" and paparazzis are.
Their job is "to be famous" and you can't be "famous" in a place where the national media is not going to give you exposure.
