if pop wasn't king, he was the closest one. don't think anyone else has made a case to succeed him yet.

That title has stayed with Nas as far as I'm concerned
The last one in my book was 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj or Cardi...they were the last New York rappers to really have a movement like that. Jay and Nas were legacy acts in my book. NY isn't really as much of a center as it was back then for this to really be a thing.

NY is the only city nikkas talk that king shyt for.

I don’t see Lil Baby and 21 Savage arguing over whose “King of Atlanta”.

Hov can possibly be the king of NY because he’s still a relevant rapper culturally and a powerful figure overall.

If we going with the young nikkas Pop Smoke really had that 50/DMX energy. He’s completed dominated the charts posthumously and had the city on lock when he lived.

A-Boogie also got a good case when you look at his plaques and how many sons he’s birthed since he came out in 2016. He’s just too low key and introverted. Pop was a lot more visible and made harder music.

Bobby's verse is the part they mute and everybody sings acapella
That’s dope. But he hasn’t shown the ability to make up another original song that has any impact. So unless rowdy gonna create the songs and he just rap over them he don’t see like he gotta a real chance to keep it going

Rowdy part get as much love as Bobby’s with several quotables.

Funny Computers outlived Hot Nikka too.

The way I see it even back then Rowdy is better. The best artist GS9 had was actually Abillyon for my $.
