no Wu members in the top 10?

Yassin Bey, Tip and Doom not cracking top 10 is insane.

How are you guys mad ice spice made it in? She’s extremely popular lol

Yea they were unsurprisingly going for popularity rather than lyricism.

I’m a broken record but ka and billy woods are the biggest misses for me. Who you thinking?

Idk if Redman is considered a New York rapper but maybe him too if so

Why is she head and no, say, Joey Badass? (unless I missed him) It presumes she’ll remain popular for years to come rather than evaluating the present body of work

another purposely wonky list they put out every year to farm engagement from people talking about how s*** it is

they've been doing this a decade

Buckshot could be here, in the 40s

nas #2 50 #3
we need to get off that nostalgia bs fr cause ain’t no way biggie better just cause he’s not around anymore

This was my biggest issue

diddy over pharoah is hilarious but not surprising.

don’t be lazy with these arguments he has 2 pristine albums & became the guy while both Nas & Hov were around

Imagine looking Raekwon in his eye and telling him he isnt a top 25 new york rapper ever

Jim slightly ahead Styles P is a slick troll ngl

Neph and Pap not on the list wtf

DOOM deserved a top 10 spot

Also no Phife but Tip at 24 when a lot of Tip’s best work ever is with Phife smh

If we’re being so honest Pap is already top 20

Diddy one spot above Pharoahe Monch is so comical

I’m saying bro 🤦🏾‍♂️

shes a legend and i mean no disrespect but why are publications feeling the need to act like Lil Kim was better than people like Ghostface, DOOM and Big Pun

50 not one of my favorite rappers but when it comes to impact alone he’s up there with the goats

Especially if we just speaking on NY, most niggas from there not touching his career

G-Unit era was massive

depends on the criteria i guess, she could arguably be more influential than those 3

"best" Skill, lyrical ability, and impact on the genre and culture in New York and beyond, were key factors in determining who made the cut

because although ice spice is cool she’s way more of a personality/influencer than a rapper as it currently stands lmao

she doesn’t even have a studio album out yet

touche

idk how they evaluated this s***, im more upset they have Rocky at 41

prolly trolling or making humorous lyric reference
