Long Island: Keith Murray...

:)

I was only joking.

And now I realized Truth said which BOROUGH.. Long Island isnt a borough, but he was in that song Five Boroughs, along with Redman who is from Newark New Jersey :thinking:

Are there any other rappers from Staten Island besides Wu-Tang?

No........

Same for Manhattan, i know Big L, Mase and Camron came from there, but who else has there been?

Bronx has KRS, Melle Mel, 2Pac (if he counts), Big Pun, Showbiz/AG, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa................in terms of influence, i think Bronx wins hands down.

Yeah, Bronx was the birthplace. I can't make up my mind for which is my favorite, so I think I'll pass for now.

lol.
