    NY!

    Where's Big L? LOX? DMX? Pun? Rakim?

    I would say New York City. The only city that's had elite rappers consistently from the beginning.

    Honorable mention to Detroit. Eminem, D12, Royce, Big Sean, and I guess Kid Rock if you consider him a rapper. Lol. Underground guys like King Gordy and Trick Trick as well.
