Da Brat was the most recognizable Chicago Rap Figure in the 90's across the board ..PERIOD..and her representing Atlanta was not intentional ....she mentioned Chicago in every goddamn song ......
Common ? please .....i see some backpacks showing in this thread
Their coordinated leather coveralls may be laughable in retrospect, but they were still a bigger Chicago rap export than Common during the nineties.
That's all I'm saying.
And "Hay" was a cool record. Trivia: around the time that "Hay" first came out Andre and Big Boi were on 88.5's "Rhythm & Vibes" (I know you remember that, Ed) to promote ATLiens, and Andre requested that they play "Hay," saying that he thought CC was from ATL the first time he heard the song.
OK first off Miami is obviously Trick Daddy, at least the late 90s.
I prob suck for being a new dude to the board bumping old shit but:
just like a language is a dialect with an army, Common's impact was clearly much smaller than folks here like to pretend. Act like "Po Pimp" was some freak hit single if you want; the reason people here remember Com and not Do or Die is because Com sounded like New York, and Do or Die sounded like the midwest, and just like Bone thugs and crucial conflict and a bunch of other midwest rappers that go platinum and gold they don't get much respect from the critical community out east.
Do or Die have a platinum album produced by Traxster who also did Twista's adrenaline rush. Do or Die's 2nd album went gold. Common never did numbers like that.
Common is dope, I like him, but Breihan is way way off on that count.
Yeah Do or Die and Twista and maybe Shawnna are dope. EC Illa is good. Psychodrama are dope. Traxster's a good producer. Some good backpacker dudes aside from Common, I liked Diverse's album. Lupe sounds pretty good to me. Rhymefest is good live anyway.
The Chi Bangin' compilations are great even if all the dudes are no-names, there are some incredible rappers on that shit.

This is basically it.
Dudes on here assume that because they didn't start taking Twista seriously until Kanye cosigned him that the rest of the rap-listening public didn't either.

Wait a second. Who takes Twista seriously?
Pretty much everyone that actually listens to rap.
I'm not checking for Lupe or Rhymefest, and I don't have time to engage in a polemical about 'exports', my 2 cents is that Do or Die is the shit. Do I want to hear ' used to love her', 'hay', no. I could listen to 'po pimp' anytime...Matter fact, I'ma throw it on now...ez

you guys are showing your asses on this... Twista has been around for mad years, has killed it on many a rugged track, and is one of the most purely skilled MCs in the game today... to shit on him because he's made a few (admittedly SOFT) radio jams and gotten paid is real fucked up.

not shitting on him cause of the radio. I am surprised he actually finally made it being that he was fin to blow 8 years ago when he was the "fastest rapper alive". He has always been a gimmick. paid his dues yes, but always been a gimmick.

Yeah, dude, his career began and ended with that "Girl Tonight" bullschitt--he hadn't been putting in work for a decade plus prior to that.

HA.....everybody thought CC were from Atl .....
if you took a random survey during the 90's more people would recognize Common ,not CC....but "Hay" would be recognized more than any Common song ...
but, i mean really ...this is Chicago rap we're talking about, so who really cares
LUKE!!!!!!!!!

I was beginning to think the same thing. "Which was our bigger export, da Brat or Crucial Conflict" = "Does Chicago suck or does it REALLY suck?"
The Chi Bangin' compilations are great even if all the dudes are no-names, there are some incredible rappers on that shit.
false. see:
When the fuck is the new bone thugs album coming out?
What if it were revealed next week that he is actually a garbage man
His whole look has me wondering. Kinda got a "Roc" thing going on.
"whip it, whip it real hard"
This is basically it.
