Which Borough has produced the best NYC rappers.

[Tommy Fits]

Queens

 

[Juliano Soprano]

@Rapmastermind posted this map in a thread he made a couple weeks ago.

Brooklyn got some shyt, Gawdsir, Noyd, LL, Run-DMC and the Mobb tho

[Canada Goose]

Did you really have to include manhattan in the poll?

Mase, Cam'ron and Big L are from Manhattan breh...

The Bronx is the real borough in this thread, who they have other than Big Pun and Fat Joe?

The other boroughs at least have three dope rappers.

EDIT I see on that map the BX has Krs One

Rakim is not from Queens, he's from Wyandanch, LI. But his posse represented Brooklyn.

I was thinking of old school (BDK vs Kool G) and the A list (Big & Hov vs LL & Nas) and it's closer than i thought. It's kinda weird that Queens had such a huge impact & had so much success in the rap game with so few hoods compared to BK & BX.

 

[Hood Critic]

Queens...

 

[Alexander Wiggin]

Queens - Nas, LL, 50, Lloyd Banks

So, you put 50 & Lloyd Banks over G Rap, Tragedy and Pharoah, really ?
