Houston: Breeder of Rap Royalty (and Maybe Some Rap...Regulars)
Ah, Houston. The city that gave us rodeos, ridiculously delicious barbecue, and a whole lotta rappers. But just how many rappers are we talkin' about? Enough to fill a stadium? Enough to replace the mosquitos at a summer cookout? Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the Houston rap game, baby!
Where it all began: From Screw Tapes to International Stars
Houston's rap scene is like a perfectly seasoned gumbo – a rich blend of influences. We got the legendary DJ Screw and the Screwed Up Click, who practically invented chopped and screwed, that slow, hypnotic sound that makes you wanna cruise down south side streets with the windows down. Then you have the Geto Boys, pioneers of hardcore rap who weren't afraid to get real (and sometimes a little controversial).
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
The Golden Age: Houston Takes Over the Radio
Fast forward a few years, and Houston rappers were dominating the airwaves. Scarface was droppin' knowledge like a college professor, UGK (Bun B and Pimp C) were bringin' that southern swagger, and Lil' Flip...well, Lil' Flip was definitely Lil' Flip. This era established Houston as a force to be reckoned with, putting H-Town on the map for all the world to see (and hear).

But Houston ain't stuck in the past. Today, the city's still churnin' out rappers faster than J.J. Watt sacks quarterbacks. We got superstars like Travis Scott and Megan Thee Stallion who are selling out arenas worldwide. There's also a whole underground scene bubbling away, filled with talented artists waiting for their shot.
So, how many rappers are there? Honestly, that's a question for the rap gods themselves. There's probably enough rappers in Houston to form their own city council (although, with all that rhyming, meetings might take a while).

The Important Takeaway
Here's the real answer: Houston's got a ridiculous amount of rap talent. From the OG legends to the new generation, the H-Town rap scene is a constant source of energy, creativity, and, of course, banging beats. So next time you hear a dope track, there's a good chance it could be coming straight outta Houston. Just remember, with all these rappers, it's basically guaranteed you'll find one you vibe with. Now excuse me while I go blast some Beyonc� (because Houston, ya know?).
