This is a very difficult question.
Big a jay z are such heavy hitters on a skill street and commercial level.
Nas considered the goat by many, Run DMC legacy is just unfukkwitable
Talib, mos, foxy, Kim, fab, have held BK down. Kane was incredible
But queens got fif, mobb deep, CNN, and the difference maker for me is tribe. Bk don't have a group that laid what tribe laid down.
Queens by a very thin margin

plus as someone said nas was born and raised in brooklyn(till age 2) so he gets an asterix for queens by default
but to be fair here
from a sales aspect
queens overall has far more higher sales than brooklyn
granted they had a HUGE head start as the early acts were from queens only lol
but regardless ja rule is queens and his sales alone out due a lot of brooklyn mc's
but the brooklyn line up is crazy
off the top alone...

Obviously it's Queens
I think they have more prestige and allure. Arguably the best albums have come from QB too

That just proves my point, there's so many ill MCs from queens I forgot the beatnuts. Forgot screwball to, shan and many others. Queens might have the goat music. The more I think about it the more I'm liking it over death row

Why the fukk would Nas get an asterisk? He was fukking raised in QB. His whole essence comes from there.
If that's so I'd put Styles P as a Queens rapper because he was here until he left around 7-8 years old. I'd say BK has the better spitters.
