not everyone in georgia is actually from ATL. they're actually suburbs surrounding atlanta. decatur, college park, savannah, augusta...they just say atlanta cause its the most recognized name out of the state. the east didn't necessarily always rep just new york. look at the beef that happened betwenn BDP and juice crew or where they the gucci crew, whatever mc shans team. bronx vs queensbridge. one thing i've noticed, northern cali is one of the only places in terms of rap that rep whatever smallest town they have. people outside of probably northern cali or cali or even the US don't know where the fuck vallejo or richmond are let alone places like merced, san bruno or hayward.
