The Best Rapper From Every State

Who's the best rapper of all time from each state? In this map I broke down the 50 states of rap (and the District of Columbia, which is well represented by Wale). There were a lot of easy ones, but some states where it was hard to find even one credible rapper (Montana) and even a handful of states where I was unexpectedly impressed by their underground rap scene (Iowa). Some notable rap stars saved me by being born in smaller states (Wiz Khalifa, Missy Elliot, Guru, Speech) while I'm sure some of my choices will be controversial - or flat out wrong. 

Feel free to share this rap map and comment below as to which ones I got right and wrong!
