I think we can all agree that these are the only men who hit KING OF NEW YORK status....

That title wasn’t even used with X. Jay was projected to take the throne with Vol. 1, but once that [commercially] disappointed it got setback to Vol. 2 to where it was no conversation about who was running the city.

Nas was in that convo more so than X (“If David could go against Goliath with a stone. I could go at Nas and Jigga both for the throne” - 50 Cent, High All the Time off of GRODT).

Big - 94-97
Jay - 98-01
Nas - 02
50 - 03-06

And that KONY status officially started with Big in 95 after that Source article declined him as such. The previous generation aren’t applicable, so it’s the above four guys only.

The mistake y'all making is assuming a particular yr can only have ONE king .

Yes ...some years are clear-cut , but NOT all
