So pretty much if your favorite rapper reps Atlanta, they aren't from there. What are some others?

 

[BulletProof]

A lot of these are huge reaches because being born somewhere and growing up somewhere are two different things.

Prodigy - Long Island

 

[Neuromancer]

Push!

 

[Killigraphy]

Many of these guys moved there while young....you can get a pass.


Pac was a grown ass man who moved to Cali to further sell his West Side gangster persona to the people....it worked of course.

 

[Drip Bayless]

Is this a thread about rappers false claiming, or rappers who moved as kids?

 

[YamakaSmacker]

I think Nate Dogg it's from Mississippi and chamillionaire was born in DC

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

This ain't about false claiming or trying to clown. It's just showing where some were born vs. where they are associated with.

When I was in the Air Force I would never tell people I was from Long Beach, I would say Los Angeles because EVERYBODY knows where LA is. So of course an international superstar is gonna say “I’m from ATL” cuz no one knows or cares where the fukk willacoochie,GA is.

 

[parallax]

was Q raised in germany, or was he an army brat?

 

[Turk]

Rick Ross - Miami, but really from Coahoma County, MI

Rozay was born in Mississippi. Where you get Michigan from?

So if I’m born in one city and move to another city when I’m 2 years old Im supposed to have to claim the city I was born in even though I have little to no memory of living there , no struggles there, and my whole mindset is from where I grew up?



That’s the case with a lot of these dudes that you named.

If Kanye claimed Atlanta nikkas would say “he left here when he was 2 or 3, he ain’t no real ATL nikka”.

 

[SCJoe]

Q, Cole, Big Sean and Wiz where born in those places due to being military kids no?

 

[Hellmont]

Wasn't Rich The Kid born in Manhattan but moved to ATL when he was 14.

Doesn't even have an accent or subtle one

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

It's like you dudes think everyone is raised where they are born the fukk a large percentage of people moved as kids/teens

OP acting like these nikkas moved to the cities they rep when they were 20 or something....

Outside of a few of those cats like Jeezy and Pac, most of them dudes moved to their new cities as youngsters
