Towards the mid-'90s the term 'southwest' began to appear,
coming alive most notably in the "Southwest Riders" comp.
You'll hear the term (discounting Southwest Atlanta references)
more likely from Houston artists than from those from the Bay
or LA.
I guess my question is - is Southwest an identifiable geographic
area similar to Midwest, or does it symbolize a meeting of the
minds from folks involved in the "Southwest Riders" compilation,
reflecting the affinity between the West and Gulf coast rap scenes
(No Limit, West Coast rap influencing earlier Southern rap)?

I'd go with it reflecting the affinity between the west and the gulf
area (specifically the bay and the gulf). Peep the Captain Save 'Em
from TWDY solo/compilation, there's a song called "representing
southwest" featuring Pimp C and Yukmouth. I would take that to mean
that it has to do with more regional affinity than the specific
southwest riders comp, however both the Luniz and UGK were featured on
that comp, so it would merely relate back to that... |
