Best Rappers by City: Who Makes the Hip-Hop Mount Rushmore? | Bald Brothers

Who are the best rappers from each city—and which four deserve a spot on hip-hop’s Mount Rushmore? KevOnStage and Tony Baker debate the greatest rappers by city, from Atlanta and Los Angeles to Chicago, Houston, New Orleans, the Bay Area, and New York’s boroughs.

On this episode of Bald Brothers, the picks include Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, OutKast, Kanye West, Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem, and more. But what matters most: lyrical skill, classic albums, cultural impact, or longevity?

And where does Tupac belong—the Bay Area or LA? Plus, Kev and Tony revisit Macklemore’s Grammy win over Kendrick Lamar, give SZA her flowers, and compare “The Weekend” with Whitney Houston’s “Saving All My Love for You.” From rap rankings to R&B double standards, the conversation takes plenty of hilarious detours.
