What's your opinion on Texas rap?

[shaq diesel 34]

It's been Texas All-Star day on MTV Jams. What do you think of Texas rap in general? I'm a fan, definite different sound than Southern hip hop. There's some good cats down there.

I can only speak for houston...and with that said, besides a couple of songs...im not a fan...when you SOUND like you from somewhere...its not a good look

 

[tfromthe617]

i like a lot of it

scarface, ugk, devin the dude, slim thug and z-ro are all favorites of mine. i think its safe to say i like more texas artists then anywhere else in the south.

Nas, AZ, Cormega and a lotta rappers sound like they're from New York City, which definitly is not a bad thing.

[born tuesday]

That Flex dance looks like it would body somebody in the club on some Ong Bak type %@%!.

But yeah I !#$! with the Tex, mostly becuase my brother put me on to UGK when I was like 11.

These dancing dude IDK man. A few of my friends from school were from Dallas and NONE of the danced, it's probably a young boy thing though.

ZRO = realest $!$!! in the game

 

[sosmoove]

The only two rappers from here that haven't run out of sh*t to say is Bun, Devin and Face. Cats down here have been rapping about the same %+%* for 10 years now. Then wonder why they get dropped from labels or end up staying local down here. Lyrically, I haven't seen anybody actually trying to get better and that %+%* they rap about down here isn't even relevant anymore.

Port Arthur > Houston > Dallas

 

[hellaones]

nowadays only cats I still check for is Thugga, Devin, Trea & Z-Ro

still bump old school Face, UGK, Screw & Swishahouse

 

[Master Zik]

I don't know a lot of Texas rappers.

Just Geto Boys, Face, Slim Thug, UGK, Devin(don't sound like he from anywhere), and I don't listen to Cham anymore

 

[mvplikekobe24]

[Jordan8]

They got their own sound. Influenced by no one. But highly influential in the rap game. From BHO to LE$ to The whole D Town movement (Dancing and Street music) Durrough to Big Tuck to UGK to Scarface. No other State has that diversity like Texas

 

[townlegend]

I love texas rap, I dont know why, I just really enjoy their sound because its not like your stereotypical southern type rap. and it seems like texas rap is kinda more than just music, its like a culture/lifestyle imo....
