Mayor Mamdami's Top 5 Rappers

[The_Third_Man]

Very predictable list.

with Lupe and Common?

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Mid 30s and Lil Wayne is not in his top 5? Surprised, I'm around Mamdani age and Wayne was all my peers favorite rapper in High School.

Yea. Those people grew up and their taste in music got better.

I think I said this before I but I was surprised at how hated Lil Wayne was on The Coli as dude was really loved IRL in my experience in NYC.

Mixtape Wayne was loved and Carter 3 Wayne was still celebrated. But shortly after that, he became a caricature that was very hard to listen to

 

[Mandarin Duck]

with Lupe and Common?

His list being labeled "predictable" or "pandering" was going to come regardless of who he named.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Why people saying this pandering? This looks like what he would listen to lmao

 

[REdefinition]

Props for the Lupe and Common selection. The rest was extremely predictable

This and similar comments are weird takes. Nas Jay and Biggie are universally acknowledged as goats so like yeah, it is predictable they'd be in top 5 convos especiallya New Yorker. Like Jordan and LeBron are "predictable" in basketball goat talk.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Wayne doesn't belong anywhere near that list

 

[ItWasWritten]

Tired of hearing about this clown , we don’t live in nyc fukk his list

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Lot of Islam on that list
Sidebar aside from koo-fee wearing Nas no other Islamic rapper really doesn't have a classic.. unanimously recognized..
Not to mention if you throw jay electronica in there most Muslim rappers don't have the work ethic of other artists...they really drop whenever they feel like it..
Must be nice...

[KFBF]

with Lupe and Common?

Absolutely. I don't think he's pandering but I think majority of people could have guessed three or four names from his list.

 

[N711oir]

Just to add, I said notihing of the intellect of Islamic rappers..
Reading "comprehension" is fundamental when on thecoli...
Just off the top, mos def starts a podcast never completes, I knew from jump when I heard he and talib started one, that that fool wasnt gone show up for work day to day to maintain a podcast
Not to emention Mos def had next after Biggies passing , him being From Brooklyn highly lyrical well respected could act and rap/both lanes like will smith.
Even got the Beyonce stimulus before Hov
And that n99a fumbled tha bag
Lupe fiasco Chicago home is the noi and islam the American middle east Co-signed by every lyrical giant in the game, and he just still continues to kick push himself to perpetual mediocrity
You can go on and on, not to mention the many contradictions,
Muslims aren't even supposed to wear gold chains and necklaces
And yet all those Islamic rappers from Nola to NY are happy to let you know "they made it" with all the gold around their necks, metaphorical middle finger to Allah...

Not know who Rakim is, alleged Hip-Hop brehs

 

[BuddahMAC]

Considering his one rap song was like a Ying Yang Twins/ Das Racist mash up dedicated to grandmothers, I might expect a more out the box pick in there, but his 5 make sense.
