I guess G and them was more fantasy with it so that’s why he isn’t listing them? Because why else wouldn’t he? The Mobb clearly wasn’t the first. They were more knucklehead rap than gangsta rap but I guess there’s no real difference,

Rae and Ghost…Esco…was more “gangsta rap” to me on some NY shhit, talking about drug wars and coke beefs, etc… That’s more accurate to the NY gangsta world…Mobb Deep was just grimy gutter stickup kid type shhit.

1000%
Five percenter dudes with the drug/tough shhit…that’s like the literal embodiment of New York gangsta shhit in the 80’s and 90’s in our communities.

The first album was gutter. I don’t think people appreciate how authentic them dudes was. Won’t nothing fake about them and they all could rhyme.
And not to be ratty…but they actually have deep gangster/mob ties, off the record. Staten Island is no joke man, the hood and the burbs of Staten is full of tough ass people, lol

It doesn’t matter who was talking that shyt before the Mobb. They definitely popularized it on the East. They took it to another level
KRS-One and those other examples you provided are not good examples because those MCs were not just thug rappers. They were more diverse in what that presented to the audience. Mobb Deep was gutter music all day every day and they moved major units doing it.
P already told y’all what it was on Bloodsport.
Me and my man pioneered this violent nikka rap shyt

Well yeah the industry used to be shook of them dudes. There’s stories of them showing up 100 deep. They really was on that.
I guess to an extent you're right about Kris, but for the most part G Rap for example was gangster rap. If anyone holds the title for gangster rap in NY, it's definitely G Rap before Mobb Deep.
