Where's jj fish from again?
Mount Rushmore of NYC rappers
- Thread starter Mr. Met
- Start date
Fab alone would rap circles around everyone you named.
I love everyone you named, but let’s be realistic here.

no Rakim is wild, lifetime ban for the OP and his immediate family!!! Git em the fuck up outta here!
Good point, but I'm thinking the list creator was using NYC loosely, cause DMX is on it, buy he's mt. Vernon/Yonkers, not NYC.

I know. But standing next to Nas and Jay, think about that.Mo Dee dropped five solo album plus two albums when he was in the Treacherous Three...
Hell,Mo See influenced Rakim and LL and pioneered the fast flow when he was in Treacherous Three.
And Fab has the same problem that Ludacris had. He can rap his ass off but his albums are basically the same and none of his albums(not mixtapes) have even come close to being a classic. And to say that he'd rap circles around them is crazy.
None of the dudes you named have classic albums either.
My Mt Rushmore of NY Rappers will Nas, Rakim, Biggie, and Jay-Z... 
Paid in Full, Criminal Minded
And Grandmaster Cas wrote 1/3 the first 3 rap hits. When people see "Mt. Rushmore ", they think it means "best", and it's not about that. It's about what you did, and what did it help establish. Using that criteria:Mo Dee dropped five solo album plus two albums when he was in the Treacherous Three...
Hell,Mo See influenced Rakim and LL and pioneered the fast flow when he was in Treacherous Three.
Cas/ Sugarhill
Melle Mel / Duke Bootie
Kurtis Blow
Funky 4 + 1

Every Fab album is better than both of those.
Nostalgia got you dudes blinded

For real, Nas and Rakim are definitely on my list. The last spot probably goes to BIG.
This makes more sense.

Cats saying LL should be up there 
. He got murdered by Canibus. Wasn't even close.

Actually, after having this conversation with a few friends of mine, I see things a little differently now:
Russell Simmons
Sylvia Robinson
Rick Rubin
Grandmaster Flash
If you are going by what Mt. Rushmore represents, which is American ideals...then those four should be the rap version of that.
No Rush or Rick, no Def Jam, no major label pushing out hip-hop
No Sylvia Robinson, no Sugarhill Records, no Sugarhill Gang making hip-hop famous
No Grandmaster Flash, no turntablism.

I swear sometimes people just say shit to say shit. Those albums have survived the test of time and they have nostalgia behind them for said reason.
But go ahead and listen to Throw it in the Bag and reminisce like it's the 1st time since Fab's stuff is so great
Nigga tried hard to name one wack song by Fab. And even that shit has better wordplay than any of that bullshit from the damn 80s. FOH
