    King of NYC goes to the Nicest MC. Not the Richest. And Jayz isn't close to the Nicest in NYC.

    how many rappers overtime are nicer than jay in nyc?

    and the king of ny was a mix of who is nice and who is popular

    New York like every other city, has an abundance of talent, who've had success. yet these guys listed, are the guys who had the city on LOCK, during their own individual eras.

    although the crown has been passed around, however since 98', Jay-Z has always occupied the throne.

    Kurtis Blow- Dude was Raps, 1st superstar

    Rakim, Kane, Krs1- these guys done change the game in so many different ways.

    LL Cool J- was new yorks biggest super star from the late 80's- mid 90's dude was the 1st all around rapper .

    Biggie, Jay, Nas- There has always been a power struggle from 94-97 it was Big Vs. Nas,& From 98-02 it was Jay Vs Nas.

    DMX- was a mega star, ppl from all over just loved him yet while his style was straight gutter. he never had to make a crossover track yet he was still huge.

    Ja Rule- was the yang of X, while X was straight Gutter. Ja was more poppish. Ja was one of the 1st rappers, that i know of, that was on like 5-6 songs on the radio.

    50- became king by defeating Ja. 50 was a mesh of Ja and X, he was capable of being gutter, yet do the pop thing. Dude accomplished so much in such a short period of time.

    Camron- Dipset was the 2000's version of wutang, yet more flashier cuz you know, they're harlem ? .Harlem is the swag capitol of the world. everything was Cam/Dipset, what ever Cam/Dipset did we did. from linguistics, clothes, thought process, everything.

    Max- after Cam disappeared, from the face of New York, and dip-set disassembled, Max B became a movement of himself, a Wavy one at that. Max ranned NY. and his situation was organic, because unlike the others who ranned the city b4 him. Max was independent, yet had a huge fan base.

    French Montana- after Max got 8,000 years, his lil homie decided 2 pick up the helm. alot of Max fans became French fans. and he's definitely NY hottest rapper.

    Nikki Minaj- the city is definitely nikki's, she's the biggest star New York have.

    Asap Rakim- he's the newest youngion to come out of Harlem Swag U.S.A., and has the youth of NY in his palms. he has his own very diverse fanbase, and is the hottest young rapper in NY aside from French.

    MAYNE yall need to stop it with that ? ,,,,u know damn well Jay-Z aint aint no king of NY. I mean Nas had it with Illmatic then Biggie had that crown then Raekwon wore it for a year or two when OB4CL dropped then, Biggie snatch it back then DMX came and took it for a few then Nas grapped it back.

    Now Jay-Z did grapped it with the Blueprint he went after emcee's and dropped a classic album and was the King until Bubble Lip Jay forever being cocky and woke that Sleeping King and Nas came with a burner to the side of Jigga's dome and told him to come out of his throne, and Nas aint relinquish that crown yet.

    When folks say King of NY they mostly are speaking of NYC not NYS like was discussed in the other thread.

    Doubt a Rapper from Albany having NY on lock period. To have NY on lock u need NYC and if u aint from NYC Long Island or Yonkers/Mt Vernon u might as well be from out of state.

    this ain't 1995, u just named 4 counties outside of NYC, all it takes is a movement like wutang or dipset , a Max B or a Asap world wide type of movement.

    then once u get hot NYC will claim you, since you are already a part of NEWyoRK , i remember when the city tried to claim Drake cause he was from Toronto.

    Its crazy to watch New Yorkers have this debate. From the outside looking in I would pick either A$AP or Maino. Why?
    Maino is putting out the best music out of all the O.G.'s in NY. Even Hov. But it seems NY puts him on Lil Cease status. A$AP because he's not the typical Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, or Camron clone. Yea he pays homage to the south, but people gotta realize he's a product of the Crunk/ Screw era of hip hop.

    Maino is Trash.... Asap dont care about being King of NY he only cares about Asap Mob and Harlem...

    to keep it all the way honest i doubt it, ? from each boroughs more than half the time dislike given ? from another borough props so to say a dude from out the city/upstate or as most call them country is running ur city and is KING of NYC is Unlikely..
