I appreciate this list more than a hoe ass complex or bum ass bdot, I think they did pretty good. There some odd choices in it but you ain’t never gonna make the purists and old heads happy…just look at the noyd and styles argument going on in here smh. I wouldn’t mind a lil write up or insight on the placement of the top 10, or atleast the top 5.

True. I disagree with plenty but at least they got no bullshyt like you see on Rolling Stone or Complex where they'd have Cardi B and ASAP Rocky in the top 20 :snoop:

Personally believe the list was influenced in part by the "street" or "flyness" factor that the ig page revolves around.

Who the street cats wanted to be like and such, everybody is a hustler now a days wanna be Jays, Ra had some ties to that element, even moreso if you add EricB doing the "beats", BIG was coogied down to the socks, Rae was prolly the most connected out of the Wu, P even in heaven is likely in front of some bodega talking conspiracy theories and so on...

That would explain some of the choices and its their list after all, shouldve just tweaked the criteria presented

Cause there is NO WAY IN fukkING HELL Nas is 3rd from NY

100% ja is the biggest snub. Especially going off the criteria they laid out. He deserves a top 50 spot

Again going off their criteria French montana as well.

Others you didn’t mention

There’s an out of towner sensibility to these lists. Rae is nice but the fact that he was even considered to be at the number two spot is crazy. And thinking Nas and Big got their fashion sense from him is absurd. Some real outside looking in sh!t. Lol at a nikka from Brooklyn and a nikka from QB getting their sense of style from Staten Island.

The lists are just bad bro. And the reasonings and explanations are even more bizarre.
