 Metroblogging New Orleans: N.O. Hip Hop Post Katrina
Even more important to me is that the local rap scene as a whole is very PUNK ROCK in its approach to recording, distribution, promotion, etc. Local "studios" are generally someone's garage or living room, as are the headquarters for many a local record label (including Cash Money and No Limit in their beginnings).
I'm a longtime fan of punk rock's low production values and DIY mentality, so this is equally fascinating to me. Most cities do not have such an active hip hop scene with so many outlets for its artists.
I speak of the N.O. hip hop scene in the present tense, which is a pretty inaccurate assessment.
