Why are there so few rappers from the Midwest?

[T. Sanford]

Dayton Family, Top Authority and MC Breed

Shout out to Michigan

Haven’t heard Dayton Family in forever. Good shit.

Midwest probably has 3-5 of the biggest artists ever in the game.

We used to love that Dayton Family down here in the south. They got hella play in the whip back then

Eminem, Kanye and Nelly had big careers

But how can you say they had the 3-5 biggest artists ever in the game?

Do y'all consider Philly on the east coast or Midwest? Serious question

East Coast


In fact, Cleveland is considered East Coast. I guess it's because they have subways and brownstones.

Fuck are you talking about? Between Detroit and Chicago, the midwest got mad rappers. That's not including St. Louis, Saginaw, Flint, Gary, Cleveland, etc, etc, etc,

The thing is the Midwest itself is extremely varied with very little in tye way of a common theme. St. Louis is way different than Chicago which is different than Ohio which is different than Michigan so there isnt really a sound that defines the Midwest as a whole.

So the people from the Midwest are more associated with their specific areas than the Midwest as a whole.

The real question should be why Baltimore or DC don't have big rappers and they didn't pop until king los, wale or fat trel and the 2010s

So since the 80s they didn't have one rapper pop?
