Jon Connor ain’t the voice of flint.You ask any flint nigga and they gonna tell you the Dayton family hold that title.Bootleg n shoestring 2 of the hardest muthafuckas to ever do this rap shit.
Start working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.
this list has no basis. Gary, IN has a much higher crime rate than every city on this list except for maybe Camden, possibly Flint…NO is pretty close to this as well. and who cares. this website is trash. are we bragging now? I’ve actually seen people shot and killed and it’s nothing to brag about or glorify. it’s depressing, it hurts, it destroys communities and lives. people speak on Common & Kanye and certain topics they approach, and it’s cause they’ve actually seen the bs in the streets and know it’s not something to glorify. then you got people like Officer Ricky…
How do you mention Oakland and include everyone but the person who put Oakland on the map…And on top of that, he’s still active in the rap game….TOO SHORT!!!!! smh, he’s been the main guy from Oakland since 1985!!!!
Where in this article does it promote violence? To me, this article is showing that in America we have violent cities, and like the author said, “unfortunately”, most rappers come from violent environments. You’re acting like the article asks you to throw you setup or promote violence. If anything, it shows people just how dangerous and poor America is, while we focus on all the other countries issues, we have issues of our own. Do you say this to every rapper who is rapping about the hood? They are doing the same thing, telling a story. All this article does is paint a picture, just like an emcee would. This has shed some light on the senseless violence going on around our country, and i hope it can get better.
Are you really that simple minded this is not an article that is trying to highlight the mindless killing of countless black people .
Show me where the fuck this article shows some form of journalistic integrity in regards to black on black murder
Please stop with this bullshit talking about they just telling stories of hood …
Yes a lot of the shit is fucked up but their is also stories of hope and people overcoming obstacles
Look you are easily influenced their is a reason why 99.7% of hip hop these past 20 years or so (glorify only one thing the negative and stupid ) ….Because it sells !!!!
Do you really think the MAJOR LABEL HEADS think o that’s terrible whats happening in the hood this guy needs a voice to make us all aware of the travesty’s in his neighborhood
Look their has been an concerted effort for many years to portray black people as mindless thugs who deserve no sympathy and deserve nothing as they will only ruin it
Learn some fucking history their are no longer excuses for being dumb and manipulated …
Peace
P.S, When the fuck is this site going to play/highlight that SCARFACE SONG “NO PROBLEM”
@ where aka Duh . Thanks buddy I obviously don’t spend long enough getting my fix of good hiphop from this wonderful site
P.S, Seeing as you are more than likely a suburban early 30’s white guy you wont be offended when I tell you that your opinion will never mean shit to me no doubt you enjoy BLACKS being nothing but “Walking Talking Dicks” ..
So now your website is giving love to the cities that embrace black genocide? How about the cities with the highest black graduation rates? As a native of Philly, this shit ain’t nothing to be proud of, what is the point? Just more fuel to the fire for ignorant niggas who can’t see through this bullshit, that will jump on here and be ecstatic because their city is up here or mad that its not.
You want to see a ghetto, come to Kibira in Kenya, just off Nairobi city. Wake up you black American idiots. You have too much to in your disposal to be someone in this world.
That nigga Jon Conner go hard that song up there remind me of Nas 2nd Childhood but he did it in a whole different way but anyway that shit was dope!!!!!
1) Choose cities with high crime rates (I don’t want to go on a limb and say murder rates because I can’t discern that from the facts provided, but the likelihood of ending up a victim sounds ominous.)
2) Choose rappers from these cities.
3) Tell readers they should get to know these rappers.
Mike Trampe’, I guess it was a slow day in the office.
What did this piece accomplish? What value did you add you to the culture of hip hop? Do you really believe Elzhi thinks someone should listen to his music because he hails from a city steeped in violence?
Or, and this is me taking an educated guess, it was easier to put together a list based on the precept that people like taking pride in things – even if it’s a something as unfortunate as violence.
DX, this is a WTF moment, but I’m not mad.
This drivel only was posted because someone understands the psychology of media as evidenced by comments below clamoring about which cities should have made the list, or ranked higher, as though crime is some sort of fucking badge of honor.
I live in New Orleans. I read about the foolish every single fucking day. There is no pride taken in lives lost. You should not use it as fodder for clicks.
That said, I’m pretty sure rappers (Freddie Gibbs for example) chose rap to ESCAPE the circumstances of their respective environments making this piece moot and ironical.
Yes, crime and culture should be discussed with regards to rap, but it should be done so in a responsible, constructive manner.
There are a number of news outlets engaging in the criminalizing of black males, I don’t need such from one of my favorite sites.

^ What he said… S\O to Jon Connor, dope MC… But word to what ^ said… TDF… FLINT TOWN!!!
Cosign
Agree with Dayton Family for Flint, but the article says DX’s “favorite up and comers” (or vets). DF are Flint vets.
U guys should be ashamed not Giving Props to MACHINE GUN KELLY for Clevland

Start working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.

Ugh…. They did.
No love for ICP for DET? I understand a lot of people don’t like them but they rep Detroit harder than any other.

The very first notable Philly artist should’ve been The Roots, they’ve been relevant over 20yrs DX.

And how are you going to mention Harlem and not mention Puff Daddy / P Diddy and Mase as notables???
What about Richland County, *Wisconsin*

Hiphopdx is canadian based, white demographic,

Dre was born in Oakland. Dude lived everywhere around the bay from Oakland to Vallejo to San Jose
Word up this article was some pussy sh#t
WE ALREADY KNOW YALL AINT NEVA THERE
HIPHOP IS DEAD AND U OUTSIDERS AINT NEVER GONNA LOOK LIKE YOU WERE EVER A PART OF IT
Dizzy lived in Flint until he was 4 y-o…he had about as much chance of being a victim as Tommy and Chuckie..he doesn’t even rep the town. Smh…
wow, i cant believe they did not put GAME/or Kendrick for Compton CA rappers.. smh no respect .
Watts is way harder than Compton
Its funny when most of you American think your leaving at most dangerous city! Who are you kidding! .
shut the fuck up
A city which have electricity, police, water and food plus welfare. Grow up you idiots!
You want to see a ghetto, come to Kibira in Kenya, just off Nairobi city. Wake up you black American idiots. You have too much to in your disposal to be someone in this world.
Why Compton ain’t in there? This list is rubbish
Cuz they damn gang rate drop which is good Compton is not how it used to be in the 80’s which again is good
Ya, I guess DC fell of the list as well
That nigga Jon Conner go hard that song up there remind me of Nas 2nd Childhood but he did it in a whole different way but anyway that shit was dope!!!!!
Oh yea that nigga G-count stay goin in
fuck yo list
dont advocate violence
No love for Big Sean on the Detroit list?
BIG SEAN has zero love for Detroit.
He made a damn mixtape named ‘DETROIT’,
and it did not include Detroit MC’s.
There are easily 10,
if not 20 Detroit MC’s better than Big Sean.
what a dumb ass report
I’m pretty sure Dizzy Wright reps Vegas…and Ace Hood repair Freebies Beach, whole different county then Miami..Broward, where 2 Live Crew from
Damn auto-correct….Ace Hood reps Deerfield Beach *
MA NIGGA STEVIE
What about Brick City?
These days hiphop has already seen its best; New fashion trends got niggas lookin like fags when they dress
word
I cant believe they put STL over Kansas City. smfh
And Stevie aint even from STL. Hes from Columbia, MO. Which is an hour and a half away from STL. This site fails
The headline said AMERICA’S most dangerous cities. Do y’all read over there in Africa or nah?
