It's funny, you can tell a person's geography (for the most part) based on the albums they mention. You can definitely tell whose from NYC...

Yeah you could say that, but remember from since the beginning we've had a strong hold on hip hop... hell it was invented in NYC.

It became mainstream and started branching out to everywhere else, west, north, south, and each region put their own spin on it with their own style.

But, don't get it twisted good and classic stuff came out from every region no doubt, but we, NYC, make up most of the classic hip hop from the beginning to up till now.

Look at the borough of Queens alone in NYC it accounts for I think they said more than 85% of the classic hip hop albums and artists throughout all of hip hop :x 8)

I still got love for all the other classics other regions put out though, and I wouldn't know about them if it wasn't for some of you guys on here.
