smh...

just cuz dudes had a good run does NOT make them KONY...

smh @ Cam and Dipset and Ruff Ryders ever being the KONY... i like dips and RR but come on now... dudes with no authority are just crowning ppl kings...


it was RAKIM...then BIGGIE... then even tho i dont agree with it cuz he pretty much infiltrated his way in JAY... then dude became wack, so by default it goes to NAS

G-Unit, DIPS and RR... yeah they had good runs... but fukk outa here with them bein KONY

im not a fan of jim jones or nothing but once 50 became irrelevant, cam disappeared and jay was on his kanye sh1t he was the only n1gga ny had left for the time being (think 2008-2009 during that max b beef era) what yall think? maybe someone else was holding it down at the time that i cant recall right now..we had a drought during that era(kinda like now)..unless you give the crown to max b or french montana (french is kind of our king now)

just observations

Way too many names and shifts. To me it went Biggie, Hov, Nas, 50. Since the Curtis album where 50 was stripped of it, its been vacant.
