The man said excluding yourself!!!!!

 

[Mr. Met]

Still.

He should have said "it's hard to exclude myself, but.......".

I agree with other dudes about Tragedy.........even Shan.

But 50 shouldn't be on that list.

When I first read this... I was like... but when I thought about it... It makes sense... Plus, Tip is responsible for the way their second album sounds... Tip mixed 'The Infamous' album and did three joints on the album... Now, I wouldn't replace the Mobb with anybody but I certainly understand where you're coming from...

Two classic albums. I say he deserve a spot.

Monie Love - There's a Better Way

 

[ShortyCumStain]

you know what... I feel you on that one... Trag definitely gets honorable mention... Without Trag there would be no Mobb Deep or Capone N Noreaga...

True shit.

What no CORMEGA mentioned in this thread?!?

Man, I ain't even finna get into any talks about Megavelli at such a late hour. It's bad enough that niggas had to bring up Trag'.

 

[ShortyCumStain]

Trag is a lyrical beast

Tragedy Khadafi - T.M

Yo,
Only one sperm cell survives out of millions
Hustlers strive, the trades we learn by the buildings
In Hell's Kitchen - projects burn the children
Some get locked, lay in a box with no feeling
On my back staring at the ceiling, through dealing
Sweat dripping, hands together, my knees kneeling
Where was God when my pops fell to his death bleeding?
Was he trapped like Martin in his last cry for freedom?
And when I die, will my soul ride 'til I see him?
Never thought that I'd be overseas with Koreans
Rockin' a vest, pushin' bulletproof Europeans
In hot wheels - spit shit the crowd could feel
Spendin' chips on Hilal meals, ripping foul steel
While snakes come behind me to lace my spine
Say grace and at the same time, embrace my nine
We ball like ghetto children in life tournaments
Lusting for platinum chains and ice ornaments
I strive for what I live for - cut from an iller cloth
Plot like Hyman Roth in a loft
Stack chips before the new millennium curse
U-N-I-Verse, we true and living heirs to the universe
Rep' the 41st 'til my heart burst
Ready to die - 'til we seen Biggie ride in a hearse
Yo, your comrades moving like wolves in sheep's clothing
Friends are foes - hanging niggas 'cause they holding

[Chorus]
If you can't hold on, hang on - we can make it
Whatever they don't give us in this life, we can take it
Joy and pain - through the sunshine and rain
As the world turns, life remains the same
We escaped through the flames in this game we bled
Pour some liquor on the ground - God bless the dead
To my niggas still living, yo - hold your head
To my niggas still living, yo - hold your head

Yo, yo, yo,
I blow shots from a drop rover 'til the world's over
Seeing Jehovah through the eyes of a young soldier
Black Moses - literature in pure dosage
From a landscape of Kuwait - Jakes and vultures
Too many of us lose focus
Due to the fact that we're all just a bunch of soldiers
Foul cultures
Funny how the streets mold us
Allah told us - in the cages where they hold us, it's much colder
Hear the pain through my words as I harbor in song
See, the world's rotten like the veins in my father's arm
Used to be a follower of Islam - niggas is sheist'
Study my life - living in these days is trife
Heaven and Hell, a thin line between paradise
Rather than lose, some choose to take they own life
Said a prayer for him, hoping that his soul was blessed
'Cause my hands couldn't cover all the holes in his chest
What they do? Turn around and blame me for his death
I'm like Malcolm X resurrected in a Lex', holding two tecs
Holograms in the headrest, yo
Shoulda knew what love is, before he learned what a thug is
Now we leave the seeds to be raised by their mothers
I've seen the 'hood raise brothers
Kill too many of us
A thin line between the freedom and the foul judges
In the streets, where them snake niggas hold grudges

I've always thought that this was one of da illest songs that Trag' ever did.

What no CORMEGA mentioned in this thread?!?

definately honorable mention!!!

 

[Complex]

My favorites

G Rap
Nas
Q-Tip
Tragedy
LL

with DMC(never cared for Run), Shan, Grafh, Sticky Fingas, Mega and Mic Geronimo being my honorable mentions

Prodigy is technically from Hempstead, so I can't really count him

 

[Complex]

I'm disappointed in myself, I forgot one

Not only one of top five Queens rappers, but top ten all time to me



New list

Monch Chi Chi
G Rap
Nas
Tragedy
tie - LL & Q-Tip

and add Dres to my honorable mention list

 

[Black Sexxxploitation]

I just finished transcribing an interview I did with G Rap on the 12th. It should be up on my blog before the week is out. Just waiting on him to send the photos through.

For someone who is considered a legend in the game he comes across as mad humble and and at peace with his position. He doesn't bitter at the younger dudes who are successful.

 

[Chase Bannon]

I'm sorry. His list is good, but he needs to take Mobb Deep out of that list. And laugh if you want to but I would replace Mobb Deep with Salt N Pepa. For their contribution to the game shouldn't be ignored. They had a bigger impact than Mobb Deep. Just about every female rapper pay homage to them. Salt N Pepa definitely top 5 Queens rappers.

 

[45mm]

Kool G Rap is the coolest rapper I've been around... G is an extremely good dude... and he list is 100% correct... Plus, he's easily Nas' greatest influence... I fucks with G Rap... Queens Finest... Corona STAND UP!!!...

true statement.

dude is a good nigga. he recorded at my studio a couple of times.

 

[45mm]

Tip is from Linden Blvd... 194th st and 116 ave to be exact... Jarobi is from my side... Sayres Ave... Phife is from 118 ave but also lived off Sayres ave as well... Ali is from brooklyn... I don't know what part, though.

Ali is from Crown Heights.

 

[ScorpDiesel]

G Rap is one of my top rappers but, the nigga sounds like he has the mental capacity of an 8th grader.
