Philly Nikkas really going through it.

i don't think 'phillys most wanted' was considered whack.

I’m talking about between 85 and 95. The golden era. It’s not so much that they were wack as that they were invisible compared to what was coming out of NYC.

The 80s and 90s. Wasn’t nobody checking for Philly in the golden era like that. And they was 2nd biggest market for rap before LA came though.

You’re contracting yourself. You just said Philly was the 2nd biggest market before LA came through. How does that mean Philly had wack rappers in the 80s and 90s?

Lady B was spitting bars in 1979 come on…


Please don’t confuse song popularity with rapping. Philly has always, since hip-hops inception had MCs who could go bar for bar with the best rappers. That shouldn’t even be debatable. Stop confusing popularity with skill/bars. You’re basically saying everywhere outside of NYC and LA had wack rappers because they didn’t get the exposure of those cities.

Philly nikkas got bars and freestyles all day.

Be putting that emotion and pain in them bars...

Sadly, he got talent but I'm not sure if it's enough to get him off that North Philly block

Let me make it plan for you;

None of them Nigggas you named top-tier MCs! There were no Kane,G Rap or Rakim’s coming of Philly. MC Shan wrote most of Steady and Cool C in stuff early on!
Fresh prince and jazzy Jeff stuff was too kid friendly and not taken seriously. And after about 1990 Philly fell off completely from the rap scene except for Da youngstas and the Roots.

Russia and Ukraine at war they killing young buls
The President ready for war recruiting all the young buls
This is hip hop we don’t care about that cuz we young buls
The only war care about is Lil Durk vs. YoungBoy

What’s your argument? That nobody outside of NYC and LA had top tier MCs from 1985-95? or that Philly specifically had wack rappers in that era? Because you said the latter
Name top tier rappers from that era from cities other than NYC and LA….
