easily queens aint even a question just off the 80's alone they shittin on bk
80's
bk: big daddy kane
Queens: first they win by default with run dmc,ll cool j,dj marley marl,juice crew,kool g rap,russell simmons and def jam..nuff said aint no comp
90's
bk:biggie,jay-z
queens:tribe called quest,main source,organized konfusion,nas,mobb deep,capone n noreaga,tragedy khadafi/intelligent hoodlum
classics:low end theory,breaking atoms,stress:extinction agenda,illmatic,the infamous,war report..again queens is winnin
early 2000's
Bk: jay-z
Queens: ja rule/murda inc, 50 cent/g-unit...safe to say queens is the foundation..brooklyn has thousands of rappers and only 2% are dope queens may not have a lot but they have higher quality

IMO Brooklyn>>>>>>>>Queens.... u dropping Ja Rule/Murder Inc and GUNIT doesnt help your cause... I said MC's so bringing Marley Marl a producer and Russell Simmons has nothing to do with the thread topic..

that's wassup either way queens still got the best rappers..still run dmc (i shouldnt even have to explain what they did for d for hip hop),ll cool j(the first successful solo rapper in hip hop)and kool g rap(first ny ? kickin that gritty nyc ? ) you can thanks queens for that in the 80s..juice crew was the, in the 80's, the best stable of rappers nyc had to offer and it started it queens..oh and dj marley marl ghost produces one of the GOAT hip hop albums in the 80's paid in full..so queens is killin not on the mc ? but the business ? too "queens ? run you ? ask russell simmons"..nuff said

now the 90's...queens saved new york...tribe called quest and main source was leaders in the early 90's conscious era brookly aint even have anyone cause them other cats were from long island,new rochelle... basically outside the 5 boroughs..but brooklyn wasnt even relevant till biggie came on the scene and while he was flossin and lightweight jackin the gfunk sound from the west coast QB ? like nas,mobb deep, capone n noreaga,tragedy khadafi,onyx(southside queenz)...kept it nyc gutter and maintained that ny ? and them ? responded to new york new york unlike bk ? ...

you might dislike murda inc/g unit...and 50 cent/ja rule but in the early 00's they were doing there thing and runnin ? keepin ny alive..jayz didnt cares about brooklyn much less new york and fabolous..lol..nuff said...queens is the foundation and backbone for nyc hip hop

South Central Compton Long Beach>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>new york

Queens has more pioneering rappers.Run DMC,Nas,LL etc not to mention Russel is from Queens.BK do it's thing,but QU got them heavy hitters.W/out Run DMc what is hip hop?You got organized Konfusion,Mobb deep,Raekwon,50 cent,Ja,.Queens is big so they may have numbers,but QU got them game changers
