No disrespect but I'm not sure any city could do that. Maybe Detroit if they had a big artist (not Em) who could headline that shyt. There was so much specific, cultural and regional shyt at the pop out in an era where so many cities are just trying to sound like Atlanta or/and don't respect their legends. If you ever go to LA turn on the radio. You're gonna hear all types of regional shyt, you'll hear old ass Game records, you'll hear shyt like King Kunta from Kendrick which you wouldn't hear anywhere else. They support their shyt from legends to locals.
If I'm in NY there should really never be a day where I have the radio on and don't hear Biggie, Jay, or Nas. But I've been there many times and just heard the generic Hot 97 playlist, a couple drill tracks, and whatever new wack attempt someone made at an ATL club record thanks to Ebro. That shyt is killing the culture and then people wonder why Summer Jam went the way it did....

It would have to be Joey Badass and ASAP Rocky
Only NYC artists from that era that could do it but they ain’t “big” enough to do some shyt like Kenny just did
Kinda sad how hard NYC fell off after the golden era of the 90s and early 2000s.
By 2010 that fall off was
There isn't nobody right now. Rocky was the closet thing, but his heart isn't into it and Joey Badass is still underground to do any damage.
Drill isn't gonna last long because it isn't from there, way too many n-gga's keep snitching on themselves and are in love with the streets and gang life, and a lot of them are one trick ponies.
Another reason is the previous eras not finding any proteges to succeed from them

Right. I’m like what kinda bullshyt is they on? Holler at me when the west puts together a show like this.
NY already gave us this year ago, and it was real rap, not no dance diss record. straight bars and classic music

Don't know why yall keep forgetting about French Montana. French is bigger then Joey (pause) and has more popular hits over Asap
Nobody is taking French Montana seriously.
His complexion and ethnicity, you would have another Drake situation on your hands, not to mention that dude is way too cool with Diddy.

Your talking complexion and ethnicity like Em couldn't shut down Detroit if he had a concert with all Detroit rappers. Like Paul Wall couldn't shut down a concert with all Texas rap legends. Dudes in here already mentioned Ice Spice and Cardi B and they are Latin flavored girls.

its literally nowhere near the same concept at all, that is at best an NY equivalent to "mount westmore" or "how the west was won" tour with a bunch of OLDER acts who are no longer current
that is not the same as a 2010s and beyond rapper, who is currently THE biggest rapper right now, headlining an arena show that showcases all of the CURRENT and newer acts out of the city and unifies a bunch of gangs on stage showing that the city is a united front

We're better off not naming French Montana especially when we're talking about an NY equivalent to Kendrick
that'd be an embarrassment for the city with all due respect. If only Max B didn't get locked up maybe he coulda been the guy
