We respect N.Y. IRK wtf pop talking bout. Not to mention the fact that N.Y. influence be ALLLL OVER THE WORLD. We don't get that type of exposion down here
im late asf but when was the last time any city had a drake? drake on a whole other level than any rapper out rn as much as i hate to say it lmao you can't go comparing them to drake
Smack…who is this nigga???
#ThatWasTheLastWord
No matter how harsh star "Tried" to come. Ak won!
It wasnt a good seguay. He rebuttled it perfectly saying he does have respect and he built his own lane. Then whe star tried to say he can have the last word, Ak came with the perfect comeback: "That is the Last Word"…
#DropsMic
Drake, Kendrick & JCole have been the top with nobody close since 2011, so who really cares who's the King of NY when no matter who it is theyre not close to these 3.
The fact that they talking so much bout King of NY and they didn’t mention Rocky is pretty insulting
when I think of new york i think ASAP ROCKY
Joey is the king of NY.
😶
Loose one of the other 2 guys so we can get more Star!!!
ASAP
FerG
Dj Ak spent 10 minutes trying to lead Wayno into saying 69 was the king of New York. Haha.
Rocky is the king of New York
Give ASAP his due
16:50 wayno barked on ak clown ass, if it ain’t a new mumble rapper ak has no interest in him.
lmao ak's face at 13:50
Theres no more big 3. Its only Drake and then Kendrick is a close second. J.Cole fell off to the big sean, Meek mill tier.
Drake is in his own bracket and Kendrick is a VERY VERY close second. This is coming from a hip hop head outside of America. Drake is the only house hold name on this side of the world. People on this side do know kendrick but only inside hip hop cirlces.
If you go up to a 50 year old lady in the streedt and ask her if she knows drake 90% of the time she will. She probably hasnt heard of Kendrick and she damn sure wont know J.cole.
That is how you determine whos who in the grand scheme of things.. How much impact do they have INSIDE hip hop and probably more importantly OUTSIDE hip hop.
the people that are hustling suicide are the ones singing about it NOW and ONLY now that it's profitable. xxx has been doing it since way way before he was making any money off it. he did it as a passion just to save people
It's not sad for Joey Badass because he's eating. It's sad because Capital Steez should be with him eating. And true Pro Era fans know Steez raps circle around Joey.
Joey and Rocky only two in terms of king of new york talk. I don't know what the hell wayno is talking about when he says he doesnt think of new york when rocky's name comes up. Whack shit. When I think either Joey or Rocky, I think of new york hip hop.
Since when did hip hop become about sales and whos most famous? If you say that joey doesnt bring a new york vibe or you dont think of new york when you hear joey, your'e not familiar with joey.
I swear since Wayno joined. Even with star this show is better now then with Joe. All respect to Joe still though.
@complexnews get rid of hire Joey and let it be Joe and start and nedeska
Kendrick is the "King"" sorry it doesn't matter He's running the shit
Although Wayno clapped on Ak and made him look stupid on that King of NY topic 🔥
I’ve tried to watch this show since Joe left but it’s straight 💩💩💩
I do think of NYC when I think of Badass – Wayno talking shit
DUMP GAWD> Joey
Point blank joey baddass is the king of ny 199 classic joey mixtape
Wayno a hater lmfao Akademiks face at 13:51 while Wayno hating on Rocky is hilarious hahahaha
jay z is still king of new york
Star wanna be white so bad
Ak dumb
Wayno's permanent, right? Right??????
AK saying to someone else you dont know music😂 HAA thats funny, AK keep gettin more delusional everyday
I think its a sucka move foh
joey has a valid point …..
these 4 are wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than the show with joe
I agree with mayno there is no king of New York. When you mention. Rappers in the game from NY i do no associate them with the City. You mention fat joe i think of5 the Bronx. 50 queens. Skyzoo Brooklyn and the list goes on. I totally forgot French was from Ny. Wayno said the Bronx and the coke boys came to mind. I remembered he is from the NYC
When we talk about kings in the game past or present. In my opinion from NY biggie nas jay 50. Drake is on their caliber. Not in terms of lyrically exclusively it's about influence reach numbers skill and impact. Away from past or present it's drake t.i. Kanye West Eminem Ice Cube Dr. Dre Kendrick. We are talking about hip hop empires dynasties. These brands went global. And repped their cities. It was apsrt of their brand and appeal. They are kings
Star is a strategist and an expert. Academics, you cannot ever pull rank against him or you will be constantly embarrassed and saved by Nagasaki over there…not a good look son. Star is above your pay grade and when it comes to the dozens, you cannot compete. Stay humble little bro.
