[Cladyclad]

Once again the list got the most important one right

That’s all that matter

My goat number 1 on like 99% of these lists

That got to tell y’all he the king dawg if nothing else

 

[FromStLouis]

It's none of my business, I'm not a New Yorker but how is AZ not in the top 50?

 

[AnonymityX1000]

I don't like the order but not a horrible list was glad to see Kool Keith and DOOM on it. The only glaring omission is Guru but maybe they are calling him a Boston MC.

 

[ISO]

Nicki?

If they needed a chick...I'd put foxy or kim

Y’all crazy

Nicki is solidified as the goat female NY rapper

 

[Deltron]

Diddy? Ice spice
Cardi top 25?

How the fukk styles that low

And Jimmy over styles?

 

[LOOPY]

Glad to see Busta getting his flowers more and more. Reception he got at the Final Lap tour was crazy. Huge ovation.
