So where does ASAP ROCKY land in the pantheon of NY RAPPERS?

[Finesse]

That MDWOG podcast got me thinking. Shoot Rocky a decade plus in. He got a body of work. Where does he land when it comes to NY rappers.


Its crazy cause I fukk with flacko but NY so intense and filled to brim of greatness and history I dont think homie is even a top 30 NY rapper.


I can easily rattle off names of MCs greater than him out here



BIG,Jay,Nas,50,Banks,Cam,Mase,Jada,Styles,AZ,Busta,X,Fab,BDK,Slick Rick,KRS,Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Buckshot, MOP, (See im already at 20 and I can easily go on too, Max B, Charles Hamilton, Papoose, French Montana, Fat Joe, Big Pun, Aboogie, Sean Price, Lil Kim etc. etc.)




One thing I will say tho, Flacko is definitely better than Juelz Santana them nikkas was tripping on that one lmao.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Is he even a rapper anymore?

Had he kept that 2011 mixtape drive going he was going to have a dope run but that shyt fizzled out fast

 

[Shadow King]

He doesn't.

And Rocky ain't better than no damn Santana either.

 

[Fanservice]

Umm.. he doesn’t? Ain’t that nikka mostly a model or some shyt? Only song I remember is the one featuring Drake, Kendrick and 2chainz

[Canon]

never said anything of importance

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

Nah NY got to many goood rappers

Homie don’t even make the bar if we counting 90s rap

Ny had bout 100 or more artists wit a buzz

They weed and gun carriers had barre bars then rocky

 

[Corndog]

Yeah no

 

[Sad Bunny]

Nowhere to be found.

Does he even have a classic verse or five memorable lines?

 

[010101]

rocky iconic for his image more than rap

i said from the beginning nikka really leans on visuals

& that has been his contribution with awge

more than rappers pretty much all musicians entertainers following the wave of how he presents & styles himself

music wise he was influential with the production choices & collaborating with more experimental artists outside the genre

but yeah as a "RAPPER" nah he's not in the convo

[Iceson Beckford]

Higher than Juelz in the Harlem rankings for me but maybe thats an age bias
