My nikka don't bring that sassy shyt over hereI'm cool with being a casual, my life doesn't revolve around rap. And certainly not New York rap...
But as a general hip hop head, and a fan of many NY rappers, I appreciate the list. I ain't even been shytting on it like that for you to come with that sass. I fukk with the effort, does seem like if you had more NYers on your panel the list could have more validity. You and Meccapolis, that's two people at least who aren't from NY, so possibly, you aren't gonna have the pulse on impact in The City the way City cats would...
I could Google 100 rappers but I can't name 100 anything off the top of my head. Salute to you that it matters so much to you, that you can. Most people can't...
If I was being sassy you’d know it
You obsessively keep bringing up where we are from
Using that as a go to to provide an assessment of someone’s list is lazy
The fact of the matter is that if someone has to be from the hometown of the artist to understand the impact of the artist then that means the artist failed at universalizing his legacy. This “you wasn’t there” shyt yall has no legs and gets old
I never been to the Northern California a day in my life and I know extensively the impact the Rappin 4 Tays and X Raideds had over there. Because I don’t treat hip hop as some flavor of the month shyt. It’s a legitimate thing I respect as history
Whether someone from there or not has nothing to do with it. Any other narrative is crab shyt
Where was Nine?
ISO
Pass me the rock nikka
It’s retarded to leave them off they both had runs but yk old guard thinks they’re “trash” that’s what the 90’s and 80’s slots are for
Nah, the I'll Be There For You single with Mary was one of the templates for grimy NY rappers crossing over in a respectable way and was very different than anything Wu had done to that point. And his whole tag team thing with Redman was very successful too.
I agree that Cam maybe had more visibility as a standalone artist from like 2002-2004 especially far as slang and fashion and all that, but his run where he was seen as a top tier artist was pretty short. Method Man definitely had more longevity.
Royal flush & capone Is in there but not Lord Tariq & Akenyele??????
Dana Dane was influential!
I appreciate the effort it took to do this list. You’ve already heard all the valid complaints. And obviously I disagree with your rankings.
And that’s ok cuz that’s typically how these lists go.

Nine and Ill Skratch are on the upcoming “Top 100 NY Rap Anthems” list
That Mary J song is one song. Cam had more visibility in 05-08, or whatever year you want to name after 2001.
Cam has better solo work too.
People talk about “All I Need” like it’s Thriller
It was a huge song but it does not negate Cam’ron beating him in impact
It’s like saying Coolio having “Gangstas Paradise” makes him more bigger than E-40
