Which Borough has produced the best NYC rappers.

[The Dust King]

@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

I'll give it to Brooklyn

that map is bootleg is hell.

they got lil mama on there but no sean p, french montana but no yonkers rep

puff aint even from harlem. wheres the lox? where the beatnuts at? wheres large professor?

tony yayo aint from 50s hood?

nature over havoc?

map looks like a twenty two year old kid drew it

QB alone is almost equal to Brooklyn...I gotta say Queens. Its amazing how u can take Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem or the Bronx alone and they're better then any other entire coast or region. Yonkers has DMX and the Lox

 

[Canada Goose]

The FUCC do you meeean "I see on that map the BX had Krs-ONE" ??!?

That's one of the top 3 things you know about Krs-One...

KRS was before my time, my only exposure to dude was seeing him on Hip Hop documentaries and such.

Yonkers not a part of NYC, that's why is not on the map breh...

If you really look at it on paper. And not just from a fan perspective.


Queens music wise has done the illest shyt. From RUN to LL to Mobb Deep to Nas to NORE to Ja to 50 to Minaj and anything and everything between.

None of those documentaries you saw mentioned him making "South Bronx"??

 

[Oroko Saki]

Yea basically Nas, Mobb Deep and LL Cool J seal the deal for me. They're greater then my 3 favorites from Brooklyn (Busta Rhymes, Guru, Jay-Z)

Im not sure if u can really count Gangstarr as being from Brooklyn since Guru's from Boston and Premiers from Texas. They did however rep NY as well as anyone else

 

[Billy Ocean]

it's close. Really close..between BK and the Q borough.

 

[Canada Goose]

None of those documentaries you saw mentioned him making "South Bronx"??

They might have but I could have forgot

"The Bridge is over" was much more memorable, it also helps that Nas sampled it on "Destroy and Rebuild"

 

[Oroko Saki]

None of those documentaries you saw mentioned him making "South Bronx"??

Im sure they did but it often takes most of us more then 1 or 2 times of hearing something to remember it. But yea, thats probably the first thing I would say about KRS One is that hes from the Bronx if I was to put someone on to him

Brooklyn


Im gon be the next great emcee comin out of there

Oh look another black teenager who wants to become a rapper.

Why don't you become an entrepreneur, inventor, or scientist? We have enough corny rappers as it is.

A rapper is all three of those things at the same time...grasshopper.

What I was born to do

It will be achieved

This isn't the late 80's or early 90's. That pretentious poetry shyt won't work anymore. Rap is a full-fledge industry now. So unless you join Quincy Jones's secret gay club and let Puffy fukk you in the ass or you write 20 songs about molly....you won't make it, kid.

The realest borough of course, the blackest borough of course, the hardest borough of course



Only real nikkas and cacs allowed

 

[Big Blue]

Did you really have to include manhattan in the poll?

So no rappers came out of Harlem?
