For those of you who don't know, Minneapolis and the Twin Cities are home to the County's best Hip-Hop scene. For those of you who do know, let us discuss.

I'm sure we've all heard of Atmosphere, but there are many more.

Doomtree
P.O.S
Brother Ali
Heiruspecs

Can you see your neighborhood in this vid?


YouTube - Atmosphere - Say Shh


YouTube - P.O.S - Optimist


YouTube - Jake One feat. Freeway & Brother Ali - "The Truth"

Check out some of the shots in this video, can you find your Minneapolis neighborhood?

Caution. Some of these songs contain questionable lyrics. But, without the likes of Bob Dylan, Prince, the Replacements, Husker Du, Semisonic, Soul Asylum, and Motion City Soundtrack the Twin Cities wouldn't be known for being a musical hotbed.

I don't think you'll get much disagreement on the board. Minneapolis is Hennepin County's hottest Hip Hop scene...

It's crazy how much Rhymesayers / Doomtree has blown up over the years. Their success is well deserved and they haven't let it get to their heads. I just saw POS at the Turf Club a few weeks ago for his pre-Coachella sendoff and he's sounding better than ever. He was backed by members of Marijuana Death Squads / Building Better Bombs and they ****in shredded.

I love how these guys aren't above playing small or obscure venues. Going to see Brother Ali and POS this Friday at the ol' alma mater. Free and open to the public. UWRF-SA-Brother Ali & P.O.S. Concert

Minnesota is home to hip hop that doesn't totally suck. It's still pretty poor (as is all rap), but much better than that crap from Atlanta, New York, and California.
