So if Jay-Z threw himself in the discussion with Nas and Big in "Where I'm From"

[FreshAIG]

and people say he didn't belong there in 1997, who would replace him? Prodigy, I guess? Who else could've been the third guy. Obviously this is about NY rappers so no "Andre 3000" or "Scarface" here

 

[BigL187]

good question

 

[tuckgod]

Yeah the 3rd one should've been Prodigy

 

[FreshAIG]

good question

Only people I can think of is Bandana P or possibly AZ.

 

[Hardaway]

jay was rightfully the third guy ain't no punching bag p

mob sleep die slow

 

[Tom Foolery]

[T.H.E. Goat]

You got a point, other than Prodigy I would have to say Jay

 

[Ziggiy]

In 97?

AZ
Prodigy
Raekwon

 

[Canada Goose]

LL? Rakim?

Raekwon is a good one too.

 

[FreshAIG]

Nobody was calling Jay the best emcee in '96-'97. He was still a new artist.
