He was imo one of the best along time ago.</div>He alright, probably one of the best, but next to 2Pac, Jay-Z is the most overrated MC of all time.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Ah-huh... NY is almost dead? Talib, Papoose, NaS, Jay-Z, Mos Def, Immortal Technique. Those are arguebly the best rappers in the game and they are all from NY.</div>Talib is really the only one of that group you can make a case for. Mos hasn't really done anything since Bill Clinton was president. I love Mos, but he can't really be considered on of the best out just judging off his most recent efforts (although, I actually like parts of
The New Danger). Papoose can't be considered anything outside of a mixtape rapper, which is what ALL of NYC's young emcees are. If Pap can carry an album ,then you might be able to throw him in the mix. Immortal Technique is alright for a while, but he's just al ittle too insane to be considered one of the best out right now. NYC is far from dead, but all the best emcees outta NYC are the same ones as a few years ago (Nas, Jay, Talib, Raekwon, etc.).<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Wow... You must not have heard of any southern rapper that has ever touched a mic...</div>Hating on the south is outplayed. All that crunk sh*t is stupid, yes, but there are a plethora of awesome emcees out from the South.
