Btw I just peeped something

Look at the posts from 2004 onwards


Why it say AI info at the top ?

Because it’s a text based post. The list was not made with AI

I disagree with that poster Testing era A$AP was more played than ALLA

That album had Praise the Lord and he also had features with Cardi B and Famous Dex that were hits

Asap Forever was also huge

“I’m the king of New York and I’m still outside making them run”


Flock was the KONY in that post pandemic rap world when Bronx drill popped off out of nowhere. He was the face of that. Terrible omission.

Benny c’mon?

This is our most biggest mistake. Oversight

Chinx is one of my favorites....but man I thought he was just bubbling tbh.


he had one with jadakiss and the Blood money remix with French......


but that shyt just felt like it was getting warm cant front

This shyt was played a lot word


Chinx was dead running around Kardashians in this time

Lmao list so disrespectful
Young Dro Cyhi and Longway being that low is shameful when they are responsible for a ton

No Lucci is crazy imo

And Future has to be ranked number 1 at this point

Sleep Hallow Sheff G and 22Gz should have got mentioned as well. They helped pushed Drill in NYC.

 

[Metal Face]

no Nas or Kay Flock honorable mention for the 2020s

Sleepy could have got 2023 his album was heat rocks and heavily played

He sold 29K first week which is more than what Ice Spice and Latto dropped with way less promo

Complete list with notes

 

[mikishere]

good work on the potential adjustments slide

 

[Street Knowledge]

Cardi B wins in 2017 because she has the biggest song of the year for NYC but Jay Z in 2009 has the biggest record by far and he not even a finalist

I never heard his music…anywhere

He was the guy with label support paying for the big video of Worldstar’s first page trying to get hot

I’m well aware I’m A Cokeboy was supposed to get him out there but it wasn’t exactly omnipresent

The first & last time I ever heard him outside was the morning after he passed

If we’re stretching reality with Chinx I’d say Vado had more going on in real time but I don’t recall what year that was (2010?)

Spice, Pop, Boogie, Nicki & Rocky made sense in the later years

Everybody else?…Holy shyt

Nas was the first NY rapper to have a platinum album.

I’m putting the phone down now
