Methodman or BDI

Why would it be Method Man when the solo didn’t come out until the following year? He was the king off one song??

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

If it was anybody it was him

 

[FunkDoc1112]

LL was the face of the pack mid 80s on, fell off, came back in full force and still was putting out hits after the fact. He was the only rapper MTV asked to do unplugged and was getting booked to do Hollywood movies. Kane was done, Rick was locked & Rakim was about to be on hiatus/phased out. The younger nikkax didn’t get the ball rolling yet either

It was still LL

Masta Ace my dark horse candidate

 

[VegetasHairline]

Kendrick Lamar

Sticky Fingaz Onyx. Only platinum album from NY that year

Edit: Forgot Wu Tang came out that year but at the end but it wasn't certified platinum til 1995

 

[Metal Face]

there really wasn't a big solo release from a NY artist that year other than maybe KRS-One

 

[TheMailMan]

I don't think they had one . Kane and rakim were done and ll was cold . Odd yr for NY

 

[NZA]

it was a transitional year for NY. i think LL was the KONY by default even though several other artists were more interesting at the time.
