LL needs to be there over Jada. The rest is fine with me. He’ll I would even take Rakim before Jada.

who got the best first two albums?

Big or Rakim? because thats the true dilemma

Jada dont belong

Jay, Nas, LL and either Big or Ra because

Big has two classic albums and looseys. Ra has 2 and a possible great to good albums. Big the better wordsmith. Ra the bigger impact

Any nikka taking Nas off the list isn’t even from NY. Nas has had a FAR better music career than 50. lol.


Nas is definitely on mines. 50 can be top 20 to 50 at best. Big might be in there. Gotta add LL or Rakim just off what they brought to Hip Hop early on. And possibly Jay. shyt I might even add Melle Mel off of The Message.

I feel like it’s impossible to do this with NYC and limit it to 4. Too many greats and pioneers originate from it.

Jay, Nas are guaranteed but LL, Rakim, Kool G, and KRS deserve some type of mention
