Nas: "The Message"
For our purposes, Nas' rule of one will be modified to a rule of four. Every year there are a handful of artists from each region that leave an indelible mark on Hip-Hop through their hard work, determination, and quality of music. But alas, there can still only be one "king" for each region, an emcee whose impact extends beyond his peers.
Here at AllHipHop.com we've compiled the top emcees from each region, based on the work they've done throughout 2008. From there, the staff through a consensus vote selected one rapper from each coast as the 2008 "King" for that region. We start with the always race for crown of the South. Let the debate begin.

When the invitation landed in our email—hey, wanna go to T.I.'s Christmas party?—we thought about it for awhile and ultimately decided that, yes, we would attend in the name of journalism. You, the Paste reader, deserve to know what hors d'oeuvres were served, what the gift bags contained, what the superstar rapper born Clifford Harris Jr had to say for himself at the end of his eventful year. The shindig went down at the Mason Murer art gallery, a 24,000 square-foot space in an industrial swath of Atlanta. The walls were white, the floors were concrete, and we saw a giant painting of a horse that cost $60,000. On a table in the dining room were little black gift bags containing silk scarves, but the best giveaways were slim silver boxes that, when opened, turned out to be cigar holders on one side and flasks on the other—all your vices in one convenient holster.
Check out T.I. tomorrow if you're in the Atlanta area -

In a continuing effort to focus his court-appointed community service sentence towards the youth, rapper T.I. will be on hand Tuesday (December 23) to speak to a group of students who almost lost their local community center this month.
The Grand Hustler/Atlantic Records artist will help the children at Booker T. Washington Community Center in Macon, Georgia understand the importance of the center, which announced earlier this month that it would shut down due to financial difficulties.
On Friday, however, an emergency contribution of $15,000 from the city of Macon helped the center get back on track.
After spending the weekend reconnecting utilities, the Center opened its door this morning (December 22) to children whose parents cannot afford alternative childcare during the holiday break.
The Booker T. Washington Community Center offers after-school programs throughout the school year as well.
