Fuck this MC's shit. Queens gave us The Shangri-Las, the Ramones, two members of the Velvet Underground and ... erm ... there was someone else, but I'm suffering from sleep deprivation and can't remember.

i'd imagine this'll mostly come down to Queens and the BK (hopefully it won't be all about you-know-who and you-know-who-else), but still, make a case for each if you can. i've always had an interest in all the differences within NYC. it seems like the boroughs don't really have individual musical identities these days (though probably moreso back in the day when it began its spread), more about the idea of community/repping your hood, but i could be wrong and i'd love to hear why.
