The fukk is Mary J Blige doing on that list :dead:

Tical dropped on November 94, Ready To Die on September 94, how was Meth bigger then Biggie at this point :dead:

You’re telling on yourself

Ask yourself why Method Man is the only feature on Ready To Die

1. Rakim has to be on this list. In 1987, Paid in Full came out and then 1988 was Follow the Leader. The momentum of those two records should've had him KONY both of those years (even if you like the Misadventures of Slick Rick better). Those albums back to back had Rakim as the top NY MC.

2. I see what you guys did by including R&B singers and Rap groups to the list. :umad:. Post 2000s is going to interesting.

They've established groups can be 'KONY', so I'm guessing that means crews as well. So, you will probably see Dipset, Griselda and ASAP Mob winning some years.
