I agree with everyone but Jada. Gotta have LL on there. He’s the prototype

Jada probably top 20-50, even 100 at best.

Rakim actually got a song with Jada too
I’m not from NY and I’m taking Nas off the list. He hasn’t had a better career than 50
critical thing to live out...I love Jada, but y'all say NYC bias ain't real when fukking Jadakiss is on the mount rushmore of *ny hip-hop

yea, i was gonna say maybe he's DQ'ed due to yonkers not being NYC, but jada's there...i'd def put DMX there over jada

you're way too old to still be doing this
No Rakim invalidates the list

Jada my guy but there's a significant amount of more deserving rappers....and yes you need at least 1 classic album, what are we even doing here?
LL
Rakim - it truly needs to be him. People take for granted how important Ra was to hip-hop as a whole. MFers were still rapping some nursery rhyme ABCs and 123s rhyme schemes before Rakim. Are they not including him as "NYC" b/c he's from LI?
DMX
Prodigy
Does Wu Tang as a whole count? If so, then Tribe as well, Run DMC, Mobb, or even Dip Set.
50 Cent
Surprised they didn't throw Pun on there over Kiss even.

Exactly. U aren’t from NY. Thanks for proving my point. And 50 has NOT had a better music career than Nas. In any capacity. This isn’t about who u like vs who u don’t like. Take ur emotions out of it. That’s like these Kendrick bots saying Drake doesn’t have hit records.
Aside from Kiss clear talent and impact, They put kiss on there for 2 other major reasons.
1. Singlehandedly destroying Dipset in the Versuz performance
2. Engagement farming

Got to put Kane. LL, RA, or Kris on there. You can’t leave the 80’s guys off there. Stop trying to cater to these younger people and talk about the fukkin history! shyts being forgotten as it is. Jada is my guy but he can go. Love Big but I wouldn’t be too mad if he was gone too.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Yeah no Rakim or LL makes this invalid already
It that Red Cafe next to Jay?
WHAT ELSE
