New York Rappers
 

I know there's some hip hop fans on these boards, so...

give me a heads up on rappers from NY!

I'm making a compilation/mixtape featuring New York Rappers, I got as far as 50, Ja, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Fat Joe, Jay Z, Nas...

...so any others??

Chuck D, the Beasties.

Don't forget Lloyd Banks and Tony "Free" Yayo

and Shyne and Biggie (and Ma$e if you want)

Yo Yo Yo
I logged on to TP Dub and saw this thread
I see El Freg started it off, by giving X-L some head
Wadding came in and offered his expertise
Maybe one day he'll start saying Fuck the Police

LC OUT.

Yea, include me.

EDIT:

Supreme think he's the man by finishing his paper by six
Too bad the Reds weren't that cool; hey Dunn, how about a hit?

Mos Def
Talib Kweli
J-Zone
Mobb Deep
Big Daddy Kane
Aesop Rock
Big L
A Tribe Called Quest
Onyx
Run DMC

The list goes on and on and on. Too bad gold like that is being spoiled with trash like 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Fat Joe and Fabolous..

The tightest NY rapper is Nas, by far. Distant runners-up are Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Prodigy (from Mobb Deep), and Guru. Oh yeah, you can't forget Gang Starr. They were tight.

Jigga, motherfucker.

and don't forget LL Cool J. and I mean "Mama Said Knock You Out" Cool J and not "Luv U Better/Headsprung" Cool J.

Jay-Z is very good, but he can't hold Nas' jock. Nas tore his ass up on "Ether", too.

LL had a few tight songs back in the day, like "Mama Said Knock You Out", "Going Back to Cali", "Deepest, Bluest", and "The Ripper Strikes Back". But this decade has been horrible LL music.

P-killa AKA me.

I downloaded that song Savior. While its far better than I can do, it's only OK.

To be honest with you.

Eh its ok.

:love:

Add Wu Tang, Biggie, and Rakim to that list and it's perfect..

What, no love for Gang Starr on this board? DJ Premier is the best producer to ever step foot in the rap game.

Shit, can't believe I forgot the Wu, Run DMC, and Biggie. :(

He's good but I wouldn't say he's G.O.A.T..

Nas
Biggie
Wu-Tang more importantly ODB
Lox (none of the Jada solo shit)
Aesop Rock
Company Flow (especially Vital Nerve)
Cannibal Ox
El-P
Non Phixion
R.A. The Rugged Man ( especially Stanley Kubrick and Smithmaven Mall)
thats all i can think of right now

DMX
Method Man
Rza
Jim Jones

I thought Headsprung was tight especially the chorus with Timberland. The beat was boucin to.

Nas
Jay Z
Rakim
DMX
Wu Tang
Biggie
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Big L
Onyx

Isn't DMX from Yonkers?

Props..

:love:

Where is Young Buck from?

I'm going to see him on May 6th.

Not New York

Ca$hville, Tenakey nigga.

Yeah but so is Jadakiss so I don't think our friend XL is being too technical here.

Some where in the South.. GA I think..

Sorry for my ignorance but i never quite understood where Yonkers was/is?

Nashville.

They're both good, personally I prefer Jay. But yeh, Jay-Z has been more consistant in his career, thats what gives him the edge in some people's eyes. No doubt that Ether was 10x better than Takeover.
