Why has Mississippi barely produced any major rappers?

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

The only big rappers to come outta there the last 20 years are David Banner, Big Krit & Soulja Boy. David was straight early on doing his underground Southern rap with the Firewater Boyz, then he did ringtone music and his career went down the drain. Everyone knows Krit is nice. Soulja Boy is, well, Soulja Boy & he always claimed ATL, except when he first came out he was admitting he moved to Mississippi with his dad.

Mississippi has such a storied musical history with blues & soul music, you'd think there'd be way more influential rappers.

Mississippi barely produces competent people in general.

Mississippi ain't hip hop.

The most hip hop places in the world are New York and parts of Jersey. Nowhere else is even close. Don't @ me if you're not Black and verified.

Mississippi has no real hip hop identity to todays generation. No strip clubs, businesses, or bad bytches go there.

They always rep Mississippi. And they're just regular artists signed by an ATL producer. They don't have an ATL sound

DC and Bmore has their own music wave going on for a while tho, locally. DC with the go go music and Bmore with the club music thing (forgot the name) . Even tho it was primarily local talent, that expanded. Think that kind of sets those cities apart.
