Jul 21, 2021 I think it depends on the definition of king of NY...is it: 1. The most popular rapper who happens to be from New York City? 2. The most popular rapper within New York City? aka who do people in NY actually bump? 3. The best rapper from New York City? Personally I think it's mainly #2 with a little bit of #3 thrown in. Cuz if you're the best but no one listens to you then you can't be king lol. I defer to @Antman on this though since he actually lives there
Jul 21, 2021 You guys just hate the kid lol But it would have been Pop and Cardi anyway. Even though I think Nicki is way better
Jul 21, 2021 Whoever has the most presence and authority if you ask me. I felt like Biggie, 50, and Pop fit those descriptions. French and the Coke Boys are rly popular esp in Queens.
Jul 21, 2021 I've only ever heard one song and it was so a--- I never bothered to look at any of his other s---
Jul 22, 2021 Lol why no 50? Edit: I thought the year was 2012 for some reason. Wtf edit2: what’s jay-z put out in the past decade that would earn him the title? 4:44?
Jul 22, 2021 Sheff is nice and loved around here but he’s not hitting the popularity of the other dudes over here. Pop is like Biggie here lol.
Jul 22, 2021 NY rap is in a really dire state if you cant think of 10 emcees to put over French Montana. Like, I'm not dissing the guy, he makes club songs, and thats fine. But not King of NY.
Jul 23, 2021 No one listed here is on the level of either Jay or Nas. They are the “kings” of NY, and have a 25-30 year body of genre-defining music to prove it.
