I voted for LI, for De La Soul, PE and KMD/Doom. Still not absolutely sure I should have, though. It seems that place breeds a certain kind of creativity. Would I be right in thinking it's generally a little more affluent than the other boroughs mentioned?

Yeah I'm starting to think I should have voted for Queens as well.

I'm surprised Staten Island has more votes than the Bronx.

Long Island is actually not a borough of NYC - it's just outside NYC (technically brooklyn and queens are the western-most piece of long island but there's a whole lot more jutting east, outside of nyc borders).

So yeah it's not affluent everywhere there but it is definitely more of a suburban experience.

And if it's gonna count here then lets not forget other places just outside of NYC like...

Westchester (just north of the bronx)
- Pete Rock & CL Smooth
- Heavy D
- Brand Nubian
- The Lox
- DMX
- "Sean Combs"
- Mary J Blige

New Jersey (that hideous state across the Hudson)
- Redman
- Naughty By Nature
- Queen Latifah
- Apache
- The Artifacts
- and the rest

That is one of those cases where things get tricky. Busta was born in Brooklyn but moved to Long Island while still a kid. Same thing with the GZA (except he moved to Staten Island).
