I grew up in central Florida. The most infulential southern groups in my area were.
MC ADE - Bass Mechanic, Bass Rock Express were the first solid hits.
2 Live Crew
Shy D
Jam Pony Express These guys were the original mic regulators they made DJs like Funkmaster Flex look like hot garbage.
Geto Boyz
Success n Effect- Only because Roll it up was a huge hit.

Yep the durty pioneers. Good list. Not a southerner but I know because I went to an HBCU(JSU) during those times. I saw the crooked letter movement they had Uncle Jam's Army, Wildlife Society, Phinga Print, Stew Pot Stowaways, and I saw David Banner with Kamikazee doing shows from Jackson to Baton Rouge. Big KRIT is from my dad's hometown. A lot of Memphis cats went to JSU and they were bumping 8 Ball&MJG and Project Pat. The Nola cats at JSU had DJ Jimmy with Juve saying "Where Dey At Tho" and MC Thick repping Merrero.

Man. ..not sure how I missed this post in 2014 but great post!
I rep the Boot so love some of the response posts. ...shhhhiiittt MC Thick!
Can't forget UNLV or even Boosie if we talking relevance.
On the Memphis scene, how they don't mention Project Pat? Dude used to drop some nasty shit. Ghetty Green!

Favorite 2LiveCrew use of a sample:
This song still holds true today. It seems that more and more blacks are being banned in the USA.

Luther Campbell put out 2 Live Crew (Miami), MC Shy D (Atlanta), Bust Down (New Orleans), and R&B group H-Town (Houston).
W/o Memphis (Triple 6 Mafia/Backyard Posse, DJ Squeeky, DJ Zirk, etc.) there'd be no crunk music. Had it not been for da "Drag Rap" (Triggerman beat), a whole buncha hits wouldna been made. Good post.
Edward J, DJ Smurf (Colipark), DJ Montay, DJ Jelly, Greg Street, Toomp. 
Say that shit again. From crunk to drill music the influence is heavy.
I true NORTH Memphis Legend. Here is a VALID torrent for all of his stuff.

They (The Showboys) thanked Memphis DJ, DJ Sunny D for giving Drap Rap AKA Triggerman its resurgence. Without those tapes mix tapes w that beat on it FLOODING Southerns and Xaviers campus there is no New Orleans sound. Its not up for debate!
Y'all niggas know y'all shit. Niggas can also thank Ghetto Mafia, Hard Boys, Goodie Mob & Outkast for lettin' folks know what da "trap" is. Coolbreeze coined da term "Dirty South".

I'm from North Carolina. Back in the day I remember when people were saying the payroll records artists were from North Carolina or had roots from NC. Artists like Supreme Nyborn, Bizzie Boyz (Original Flavor), MC Spice who later became N-Tyce and Omniscience. Do you guys consider any of these artist to be a part of southern hip hop or are they too much influenced by New York style Hip Hop.
The Payroll records artists were making noise in my area a decade before Little Brother and decades before J Cole.
