Meccapolis Top 100 New York Rappers List

[murksiderock]

Ok if you wanna put DMX ahead of Jadakiss do you. But Kiss was way nicer than DMX for a longer period of time. Let’s not act like DMX didn’t fall off due to all his issues with drugs and legally. Jadakiss is still relevant as a spitter to this day! Years after most of the list is just has beens. Kiss in my top 5 easily.

Nah I think X is wild overrated and have said so for years, I prefer Jada. I'm just saying I don't think Jada deserves Top 5...

Weren’t Pun technically only had one solo he died two months before the second album came out so he couldn’t take advantage of besides it only went Gold which was low considering the man died. He was overhyped respectfully like why since him has there not been a notable Spanish rapper from NY not unless you count Fab who dropped in 2001.

Over hyped?
Respectfully, I saw him live twice, been listening and speaking to industry folks about him..he was the most requested and respected not called DMX..he was Hot!!

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

Ja Rule
E Money Bags
Mic Geronimo
Parrish Smith
Big Noyd
Masta Killa
Tek

Should all be on here but thats just me.

And were Jim Jones and French Montana mentioned yet?

Killa Sin?

DMX is like AI who made the finals and won MVP but after that it wasn’t so good but he made and impact but then you can argue he took a lot of Tupac’s steeze and incorporated the Dog motifs

But Jada has been consistently an allstar who never had a chance to be MVP. He was more consistent and had more iconic lines.

Sounds like there’s going to be a glaring omission/oversight or two

AZ is making the list.

Kiss Tha Game Goodbye & Kiss of Death both classic albums

Jadas albums were all considered meh and disappointing when they dropped...never ever heard anyone say they are classic.

Yeah if anything Pun is underrated because his run was so short. But dude was a monster, I don't know if anyone had that same combination of technical excellence blended with humor and charisma like he had. The run he had 97-99 with all those classic guest spots and his own classic album was crazy.

So left off the top of my head is Jay, Big, Nas, X, Rakim, P, LL, Kane

I'm missing two obvious ones, but it's early in the morning lol. Maybe Fab and Raekwon? Or were they listed already and I overlooked it?

Man ,can you make a list one day? I trust your judgment. Im appalled at the shyt im seeing

 

[ISO]

Pun never made a Cuban Linx

Nikka had mad help on that

What’s his run time on that album

Raekwon is going to be top 10

At what point in Cam’s career was he bigger than Tical/Tical 2000 era Meth?

Oh Boy era, it might not reflect in sales but his impact as a solo rapper is a lot stronger than Methods today for that reason. Cams influenced stands the test of time, any great influence Meth has is directly tied to Wu Tang.

 

[qnsfinest]

Also disrespectful as fukk to leave off lost boyz on both lists.

Legal drug money might be a top 50 nyc album.

Mr Cheeks atleast deserves a top 70 mention. To say he not even 99 is wild.

Just realized RZA not on there either

I'm good with French and Jim getting left off though

While Method Man was the most popular member of the Wu, Cam was a bigger driving force of Dipset and I think that counts for ssomethig. Cam was both the RZA and Meth of that movement

Exactly plus Camron has more influence on this modern generation and the generation before, Cam needs his flowers, Camron came out in 98 4 years after the Meth dropped his first album and still maintained a level of influence and following into the 00’s, Method Man stopped being a big deal as a solo entity after the late 90’s

Camron managed to stretch different times as a relevant solo artist in a way Method Man never did.
