No.
Yes. Any place that jeezy calls home loses.
I'm talking about music.
I'll take Outkast, T.I., Ludacris, Dungeon Family and Cee-Lo (hell, even Lil Scrappy) over the Texas rap scene, that's just a personal call, though. I think the Atlanta stuff is more interesting, especially production-wise. I've tried to get into the Houston stuff, I just find it boring, to be honest.
As far as critical success, commercial success, inovation, importance, cultural relevance, staying power and even my own personal taste: Outkast>Lil Flip
I'd take UGK, Scarface, Lil Flip, Geto Boys, Devin Da Dude, SUC (Screwed Up Click), Slim Thug, ect.
Its kind of like the beginning of Dinosaucers where the two different groups are running at each other.
