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

[Easy-E]

Born and "from" are two different things

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.

People do that shyt in the military. One bruh was like "where you from, my reply Atlanta, he was like me too." And then the true question came "what part, and that muthafukka said Decatur, I was like nikka Decatur is its own city. He tried to turn it back on me, and I said the West End. He looked confused.

My dude’s head has always been too big for his body. I think Dave Chappelle’s teenage raps were better.

Mr. Scarface is associated with the 5th Ward in Houston. .....but grew up in South Acres (also in Houston)

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.

The other dude is from Philly....
I' bet money that the girl wasn't from NY either....

DJ Premier- really from Houston but reps Brooklyn.

Guru(rest in peace) was from Boston....but repped Brooklyn like he was born on the brooklyn bridge

Was hilarious to me when they sampled him on the Crooklyn Dodgers song.."never takin shorts, cause Brooklyn's the borough"
