NYC Mount Rushmore according to Hot 97

[spliz]

I love Jada, but y'all say NYC bias ain't real when fukking Jadakiss is on the mount rushmore of hip-hop

No rational person is putting Kiss there.

 

[spliz]

Replace Jada with either Rakim or LL and I feel like that would be the consensus.

I honestly feel like is we speaking catalog and longevity KRS may have a better claim than Ra. If we speaking style and influence I feel G Rap has as good a claim as any as well. He doesn’t have the high’s of any of the other 3 but he does have the longevity and influence.

 

[spliz]

i guess on a "rushmore", they should have a pioneer there. but are we really acting like nas, jay, big and kiss didn't outclass dudes like rakim and LL? come on

and fukk the jada slander. nicest rapper of all time. dude's been spitting the same verse for 30 years, and it's always fire

What did Kiss outclass Ra and LL in? Explain. LL has a FAR better career. Not even close actually.

It’s nowhere even close to close bro, comparing L and Kiss careers will really make someone disgusted by this Mount Rushmore, lol. The streets love Jadakiss, that is the only reason he’s there, his resume/credentials light as shhit.

Or perhaps, someone may say they just think Kiss is a better pure rapper than L. They don’t really want to have that discussion because if we’re just talking pure rap skills, Lux and Mook and countless others gotta enter the fray.

I love Kiss btw, no disrespect at all…just sayin tho.

In the last 20 years there has been an immense improvement to the order of these public lists. Jigga and Eminem stopped being highly overrated and it's beautiful. I see many young dudes on YouTube put Nas over hov.

It’s crazy but true, online and like in comment sections and shhit, it be like 85% of the people saying Nas >>> Jayz. Only time you will really see Jayz ranked above Nas, for the most part, is like when big commercial publications do these lists…or when commercial rappers give their Top 5. Seems fishy lol…but I’m not gonna do that, there’s no wrong answer between those 2, the resumes are otherworldly, no one should ever be ranked higher than them. I can see why certain type of cats prefer Jayz, . But yeah, nah, knock it off, …Esco let’s go!

@Cladyclad who you taking off the list

 

[Yehuda]

Lord Have Mercy
Triple Seis
Tony Yayo
Hell Rell

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Shows how dope NYC was.

You can easily make 2 mt rushmores

Personally, I'm not making any Mt. Rushmore that doesn't have KRS and Rakim on it

 

[Pop123]

@Cladyclad who you taking off the list

Probably Jayz

Let those 3 mortal humans stay on Mount Rushmore…Jayz belongs on Mount Olympus.

 

[Pop123]

you know jada don't belong up there cause the AI don't even know what he look like.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

This is why all these Tops/Rushmores lists are all nonsense and people need to stop feeding them and hopefully they'll stop being a thing.

Also the cycle of Innovators and Pioneers are being phased out and not getting their dues from the newer generations continues on

Yep. Same with NBA talk

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Jada doesn't even have a near classic album. Styles got a way better discography than him and just as many hits. But neither are close to top 4 in NY. I'd have Rakim, LL, G-Rap, KRS, Ghostface before Jada.

NOW, we talkin'

 

[UpNext]

Hip Hop over 50 years old but all your Mount Rushmore somehow debuted between 94-97

 

[blah]

Very generational. Jada shouldn't be on there. He's so fukking overrated. Bland and boring. Where's Rakim? KRS-One? LL? Come on man. Hell, I'd put Prodigy up there over Jada, or even DMX. G-rap is another you can replace him with

 

[Cladyclad]

@Cladyclad who you taking off the list

really

Jay
Puff
LL
Biggie

50 missed the cut
