Rappers who really aren't from where they are associated with

[keond]

There is alot of wikipedia backgrounds on here.

Just because your born in one place dont mean your "from" there. People do move around. Where you spend your formative years (11-18) is what you should go by. Nobody in the streets at age 6

This one might be old, but finding out that Butterfly from Digible Planets was actually from Seattle was crazy considering how the first album is considered a classic and is mostly about NYC.

Xzibit is from Detroit and then Arizona, but reps LA.

Too Short is from South Central LA but didn’t start rapping until he moved to Oakland.

Naw, Big Sean is the biggest fraud on that list. He lived most of his life in Cali even before he got signed. Then he moved back to L.A when he blew up. He not from Detroit at all.

we're you getting your info from? Sean grew up and lived off of 7 mile and Wyoming (near old Mumford HS) in Detroit since he was 1 years old. His mom was an upcoming actress that's why he was born in L.A. nikka went to Waldroft middle school and graduated from Cass Tech HS which are in the heart of the city. Him and his Finally Famous crew used to throw parties in back than. Sean officially moved out to L.A after he dropped his first album. If Sean was a fraud people in the city would of been called him out.

He has been called out many times. Danny Brown ring a bell? That's why on his vice segment he could take the camera crew through no spots. He lived in Cali most of his life-- it's not debatable. He never was in Detroit like that. Fake nikkas always send they E-Street team to clean up because they insecure. Just like when you mention 6ixnine and G Eazy they E-team comes running to clean up.

You basing this on that Detroit Vice documentary I was in HS around the same time as Sean so I know that whole era. His ex Ashley and crew are cool peeps. How was he not in Detroit when he lived in the city for 17 years I'm telling you he wasn't in L.A until after Kanye signed him. He was damn near on his way to Michigan State for college.

He was born in Southern Cali so how could he never be somewhere if he was born there? He went to the private school in Detroit but that's it. He got signed right after that and left back to Cali. He not a Detroit nikka.

“...in Houston, cus that is my city...”

I’m a big Pimp C fan, so I can find many more examples of him and Bun repping Houston.

Not much after the “Dirty Money” album which was recorded between 98 and 01.

“I’m still Pimp C bytch, I’m claiming PA, they hating, me and a Kool Ace riding a Lexus sittin on all gold Daytons...”

That’s the last time I can remember him saying it.
