[maxamusa]

Slots 73 to 65

Heavy D and Buckshot

I always wondered why buckshot switched his style up.....he kinda fell off

Respectfully I feel like Sean Price and Phife Dawg should be in your top 25 list but its a very good list

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

Are Ice Spice, 22gz, Fivio, and Lil Tjay gonna be on this list ranked above AG, Max B, Buckshot, Masta Ace, Killah Priest, Pop Smoke, Vado, NORE, Capone, Heavy D, Action Bronson, General Steele, and WSG?

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

Salute for the effort and presentation but I’m finna make my own list. See yall in 2 days.

And yes I am from the East Coast. NJ with mad roots in NYC (BK, BX & Manhattan specifically)

Just realized I left Rakim off edited to add.

I was about to write Sean Price in there too, but I'm trying to guess names Don Jesus might actually have that high same reason I left O.C. off.

With Phife, same deal, I think he will be penalized because Tip more prominent and had the more accomplished solo career. But I hope he get proper recognition.

Breh Sean Price is the most slept on rapper of all time.

Facts man Phife was so influential to NY rap back then

No one is ever gonna be able to make a perfect list fr.

I really cant hate because at the end of the day it’s dudes opinion but im gonna make my own now lol

Playing Monkey Barz now

That's the best part about these threads, always make me run back albums I haven't heard in too long.

[FreshAIG]

I never be seeing Godfather Don on these lists and he dead nicer than the majority of these nikkas. I get why because his impact was low.

Just wanted to shout him out because he was/is dumb nice.
