IMO,talent wise the group is Crooked>Royce>Joell/Joe


YouTube - Slaughterhouse - Move On
They have guys from almost every region.
Joel ortiz - brooklyn
Joe - Jersey city
Royce - Detroit
Crokked - LA/LBC

I remember when Joe came out with "PumP it UP" back in Jr High. He and 5o cent were like the biggest thing from the East coast at the time.

The top 3 places that have had the largest impact on rap are in no particular order...

New York/New Jersey/Greater NYC area
Los Angeles/Compton/Long Beach/Greater LA area
San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland Bay area/Sacramento

period.

Houston would come in 4th followed by Chi-town. When it comes to Detroit Rap you have to include Flint and Saginaw in the equation as well.

I prefer West coast rap over East coast, both are great though. If any one wants to argue with me about the bay then go ahead. The bay has been at since the beginning, started a majority of the slang in rap and started the independent hustle plus a unique succesful style different than that of LA's. The bay is the most underrecognized regions when it comes to rap. Everybody took our slang.

I listen to Joe Budden, Joell, and Royce and they are some of the best lyricists in the rap game right now. I'll have to check out Crooked I, I've never heard any of his stuff yet.

Joe is better solo,IMO. And Crooked is an amazing lyricist but it's hit or miss with a lot of his songs. Look up the "hip hop weekly" series.
