Hip Hop's Tale of Three Cities
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
Atlanta gave birth to OutKast and is now home to acts like B.O.B. and Janelle Monae. Chicago first made it to the hip-hop scene with Kanye West and these days boasts Lupe Fiasco and The Cool Kids. New Orleans launched Lil' Wayne and now it's breeding Jay Electronica, The Knux and Currensy. Leah Rose, former music editor of XXL magazine and co-host of the Sirius Satellite Radio show "Lip Service," explains how these three cities are shaping the future of hip-hop.
