Chicago rap is mostly trash and aside from Chance, Common, Kanye and a select few, it's always been street oriented.
Chicago puts the most out because it's the gang capital of the United States. And even then, walk by some of the most ratchet places here, you will hear a multitude of things music wise.
Chicago can't be compared to other places.
chance, common, kanye meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of music i hear coming out of chicago is the "drill" c00n tunes. music that's solely based around killing nikkas.
i mean, chicago is really a great example of this shyt. how many rappers and non-rappers have been killed over some goddamn lyrics?
