I got this CD tonight that's solid, got some sure knocks on it. They're called Hood Country and the album is titled "Down Bottom" and I know they're from Louisiana. Are they New Orleans or from somewhere else in the state?

The histories of the Midwest and the West Coast are so different that maybe this isn't even a fair comparison. If them West Coast cities had thousands of black people (who weren't arriving with much b/c they were denied in down South) arriving a DAY like a lot of them Midwest cities did in the...

This song is awesome, what is it off of?

Yes this discussion does have strong racial undertones no doubt. And it is a fact that KC has way way more black people than any Bay Area City with the exception of Oakland, Richmond & East Palo Alto.

What is the sample for Dr. Dre "Let Me Ride" & "Deez Nuts" Great great cuts, sound sampled. Anybody know what they are? I know that Nuthin but a G Thang is Leon Haywood "I Want to Do Something Freaky To You" and I know that Lil Ghetto Boy is Donny Hathaway "Little...

^ You'all are both right. Hunters Point = not a place you want to live. "Hunters Point style" places in SF = not a big chunk of San Francisco at all "Hunters Point style" places in KC = much bigger chunk of KC, hence the crime rate that is astronomically higher in KC than SF

Album just dropped, I would like to see a playlist, I hear it's a good album.

That's sad. Like half of the stores I used to hit up in HS back in Seattle are closed now.

D-Skrilla thanks a lot for posting these albums up here I'm enjoying them. I'm also glad they're from Saginaw that's one of the places I needed rap from.

Milwaukee scored a 55.99, that was 70th overall (out of the original 375). The 2 crime variables weren't quite high enough, along with the vacant housing not being high enough. As for the other four, the Mil was pretty high. Rockford = 50.31 (#145 overall) Aurora = 38.33 (#271 overall)...

This is a good point. I'm speaking from an incredible place of privilige that I personally "study" this shit but don't have to deal with it on a daily basis. And of course you're absolutely right about it being something that should not be glorified. I have two things to say on it however...

The guy was correct when he said that Saginaw was too small. I plugged the numbers in for Saginaw, it registered a 78.95 which would have put it as #2 behind Camden. As for Richmond, CA, I certainly am not disputing anything you say about it. The world was taught about that when that Oregon...

Seattle Times Article It cracks me up whenever people start talking about this. Two questions: 1) What has happened to the lyrics and the popularity of gangsta rap since the late 1980s? Answer - The lyrics have gotten WAY WORSE and the popularity of it has EXPLODED. 2) What has happened...

I'm just bumping guys like Rich the Factor, Don Juan, Fat Tone and that's some bay shit they be on, cept its way filthier than the Bay.

This is a guy I'd never heard of until a few months ago, he's a pretty talented artist coming out of the 206, I want you guys to download these tracks and if you enjoy them, he's got a lot more good ones on his album, which can be purchased at http://www.nwxmusic.com/ Macklemore - Claiming the...

I had asked about this awhile back with no luck, I finally found the answer for anybody interested. It's "If I Could Fly" by Honey Cone awesome rap track, awesome old school track

Miami Beach and Reading surprised me a little too, but you've got to be crazy if you're surprised about Flint, Youngstown and Dayton.

All it is is an Excel file with an equation plugged in and the numbers (provided by Morgan Quitno and the U.S. Census) entered for each city, this is definitely not walking the streets of these places and looking around. Take it for what it's worth. I suspect the reason KC isn't up there...
