Which NYC borough has produced the best overall quality of rappers?
- Thread starter Sampson
- Start date
Come on now, Queens. Way more classics, way more sales and way more identifiable rappers.
Queens, and I'm from Manhattan.
Queens. period. end of story.
I think Strong Island and NE New Jerz should have slots as well.
You have heavy weights like Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Naughty by Nature, Redman, EPMD, Busta Rhymes, etc.

joe budden is originally from queens and moved to nj
I hear that. I wanted to put down those areas but I strictly wanted to focus on the five boroughs.
I wanted to put his name down in the beginning but he represented the west coast during his career. I'll add him with an asterix next to his name.
I voted for Queens and will vote for that borough all day...I always tell my niggaz the whole Queens got the best rappers...From Nas to the Mobb and even my dude Cormega from Far Rockaway....Even that nigga Akinelye from the QB...Just some of my favorites along with 50...The whole Queens got mad talent I didn't mention the RnB talent...Mad respect to Queens and BK is second then Harlem they mostly style n swag....
Sums it up
Busta from the days of Leaders of the New School was always down on Troy ave by Pathmark down by Farragut side. One of his crew still lives next door to my boy on i think E59 and Clarendon by that McDonald's and Footsteps. His origin and family is still in Brooklyn as far as I know.
Also add to that list Audio Two and MC Lyte yet who later moved to queens

No problem and I respect the premise of this thread
. With that said I have to go with Queens followed closely by Brooklyn, Bronx, then Harlem, then Staten.However Strong Island and North East Jerz really can't be ignored from the NYC metro area hip hop history as a whole. Because Staten is basically just WU and the omitted areas that are bolded produced acts known the world over. I mean look at De La Soul for instance and their impact on the culture?
X-Clan: Brooklyn
Brand Nubian??
Brand Nubian??
Lmao!!
Queens.... Jamaica ave was the shit back in the 90s and early 2000s.
The nubians are from new rochelle
But LeFrak is in the borough of Queens. I stayed in Queens on vacay and always passed the LeFrak center all the time...unless im buggin yaw Queens niggaz let a nigga know cuz yaw got hella points in Queens(Rego Park, Flushing, Jamacia Forest Hills, LeFrak, Faraway Rocaway, 40 side)...
and i hella left out Big Noyd and Tradegy Kadafi... but that's an acquired taste to be a real fan of theirs... check out this video a youtube nigga pieced together
YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !st off!!!! FUCK QUEENS!!!!!!!!!!!!! QUEENS AINT SHIT!
ALL DAY!!!!!
ALL DAY!!!!!
Saying Biggie and Jay were/are bigger than LL, Run DMC or 50?!?
50? Really. He had one hot album, after that, became an attention whore. 50 is in no ones top ten.
Damn I can't think but there's a few heavy hitters missing from the Bronx. Great thread by the way too O.P. Good discussion.
When I spent my summers in QB thats what it was all about but, to me the whole NYC produced the best. When summer was over people couldn't wait till i got home to see what music i was bring back. It was more about the music and not the boroughs. Miss those summers so bad.
