I WOULD SAY YES IT HAS. ATLANTA IS LIKE A MODERN DAY MOTOWN.
We can reminsce about Will Smith, Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash, Slick Rick, Young MC, Tone -loc, some of it was OK and cute, but let's face it. Rap didn't get its real game on until LA changed the world forever with NWA. They toured the south and heavily influenced Houston, NO, Memphis, and Atlanta. LA gave hip-hop its gangsta and thug image and it hasn't quit 15-20 years later.....50 cent, jay-z and DMX are way way way more influenced by LA rap than NY rap. The world really owes Dr. Dre a lot of respect. He deserves the Nobel prize for hip-hop.
But now Atlanta is clearly the best city for hip hop.
YEA ATLANTA. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
