Everybody Mad at KENDRICK...but I want to know. What Relevant Rapper is KING OF NEW YORK?

[WheresWallace]

Depends what's defined as king, musically Nas, status wise Jay Z. Objectively Jay is probably the king, he's not onl the king of N.Y but the king of Hip Hop right now, he's the biggest artist I'd say. if you asked THE PEOPLE (who judge) who's king they would probably say Jay or Nas.

That's like saying Dr Dre is the King of L.A. or Hip Hop because of his stature and record sales. Dr is involved with projects that probably total to over 100million sold.

Pac's DR albums is over 10x Plat, Em is over 30x Plat, Fif is over 20-30x Plat, Chronic 1 and 2001 is over 10-20x Plat, not to mention all the misc albums.

But, I wouldn't call Dre the CURRENT King of L.A. or Hip Hop because he not as active nor is Jay-Z so who is the CURRENT King of New York?

Nah nikka, in every kingdom there is a successor. Everybody you named WAS the king at one point but they aren't Kings anymore. Who is the CURRENT King?

When did Jay and Nas stop rapping?

 

[WheresWallace]

See a real hip hop fan, I mean a truly REAL hip hop fan... if he wanted to know who the king of NY was he wouldn't care about 'relevancy'.
Why?

Because the pop culture that would help Launchpad that artist into relevancy, meaning mainstream appeal, none of you would allow them to have an opinion as far as hip hop goes.

You are your own worse enemy!

I say relevancy because nikkas can't be King forever, there has to be a successor. Jay-Z is a part time rapper. Plus, he's not even hip hop no more. He caters to the white hipster crowd, lets be real. The only reason why nikkas say Jay-Z or Nas is the king is because New York doesn't have no real potential as far as future Kings of the region. Who got the thrown next...ASAP, French, Joey Badass?

How is Jay Z not active? He released an album recently. Make a poll if you want an idea who's the king of n.y, Jay or Nas will win, for a reason.

They not full time rappers. That's like saying when Jordan came back in 2001 he was the King of the NBA. Jordan still put up great performances but he was not dominating the sport no more, there was new potential in Kobe and (a couple years later) LeBron.

Like I said, Jay-Z hasn't even catered to the hip hop community since American Gangster. Jay-Z raps for hipsters, Oprah's audience, ect. That nikka don't represent the essence of New York. Really he's just a mystical super hero to most nikkas from New York.

[Professor Polo]

lol @ Nas & Jay not being "full time rappers"

I cant stand the coli sometimes...makes me wonder who these idiots in real life are really like

As long as Jay doesnt fall off commercially, it doesnt matter if the minority dont feel his music no more and he also remains the K.O.N.Y

 

[MiC]

Come on now the CURRENT king of NY cant be someone that has not had an album drop or had a hit single (as a lead artist) in the current DECADE (2010-2019). If you are irrelevant musically for four years you arent the current king of shyt. If jay z werent around kendrick would make a decent argument
