r/2000sRap

When it comes to East Coast Hip-Hop, New York always gets its flowers, but we can't ignore the massive impact Philly has had on Hip-Hop. From the lyricism of their underground battle rap scene, to the heavy hitters that ran the charts, the talent coming out of Philly has always been top-tier.

Here’s my list of the best rappers from the 215:

1. Black Thought
2. Beanie Sigel
3. Cassidy
4. Meek Mill
5. Freeway

Let me know your thoughts. Who do you think are the best rappers from Philly? Who did I miss on this list?

In 2007, UGK dropped their album “UNDERGROUND KINGS” which featured the song “Int’l Players Anthem”. This song will ALWAYS be on my Rap playlist because it was my soundtrack in high school! Bun B, Pimp C, Andre 3000, and Big Boi was the perfect collaboration. “(I Choose You)” was a success; reaching no.70 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no.10 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart. The music video for the song won the 2008 BET Award for Video of the Year. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

2008 second studio album “Definition of Real”
