Complex: 50 Best New York Rappers of All-Time
- Thread starter FreshAIG
- Start date
Clicked the link just to see who was behind this foolishness and out of the 13 listed writers there's only 1 black man 
A couple of them don't have pics or socials but based on their names they're not black men. At least 5 are young women. No offense to the ladies but we need to be honest and not pretend like women were listening to bars and being well versed in non commercial hip hop. I would take their opinions more seriously if they were older women not 20 somethings. Most of the people making the list are too young.
This guy is the head writer/head of music at Complex:
These lists are worthless when the people making them aren't qualified and have political motives behind their choices. You can't make this list and leave off Dave, Pos, Phife, Roc Marci, AZ, Mega, Deck, Keith Murray, etc.
Kane at 19, G Rap at 30 but Nicki at 7
Where the hell are Conway and Benny? They said New York not just NYC.

That is the logical conclusion
If you said you wanted the best mechanic to do some work on your car, you want the person best at the job or the one that can turn a wrench and hold a conversation the best
Only in rap do people try to bump up their favorites by talking about everything other than actually rapping

Writing is part of being a rapper. You can't separate the two. You can't be a great rapper if you can't write.
It's a Hip-Hop standard.

We're losing the plot. If this was about selling, they should've made a biggest seller list and Hammer would be above a lot of people.
This is about the art of rapping. And writing is a part of it.

clearly with a list that has ice spice on it, you're wrong
Fukc these lists, first of all. They seem to be trolling. If they are serious, they are not qualified to even speak on such topics.
Your example is prolly one of dozens of MCs that I would put on this list besides what's on there.

I thought writing your own shyt was important
