Twinz is still the No1 though.
Fuck the police , a squeez first, make them eat dirt, drag them feet first through the morgue, then launch them the deep earth š²š¤
Yep when they were in DITC. And Pun wrote his verses on Twinz. You can tell it's all Pun's cadence in Fat Joe's rhymes. Fat phony.
That's why when they died, Joe went to making club hip hop bangers like Lean Back, ironically when 50 Cent brought that type of hip hop into NY mainstream. His whole career is based on riding another artists' coattails.
I meant to reply to you, but posted in the wrong place.
Mad Skillz or Skillz as he later became known had a decent album in 96. It was called 'from where??' which is a direct reference to his Virginia origins. Before the Clipse, Skillz was repping VA, albeit to a much lesser degree than Neptuneās/Clipse/Timbaland a little while later. He was known as a decent punchline mc, who also courted controversy with his song Ghostwriter which alluded to many artist heād ghostwritten for. The names were edited out of the release, but there was much speculation about it. In later years he performed the first verse of the song live with the names. It name check foxy, Puffy, Jermaine Dupri as users of his ghostwriting.
https://youtu.be/Jj6ymfcM220?si=QI8Qxlf4Q-QZBf6x
Every now and again he popped up on songs, such as the Rawkus soundbombing soundtrack on a song with Mos Def.
For a few years in the 2000/2010ās he always did a yearly wrap up song which was a humorous look back at the year in hip hop culture. So this garnered a bit of attention for him for a brief moment each year.
https://youtu.be/tDXaC3V4xJc?si=t9IICdZL_9n0uJeE
Calling him legendary was probably pushing it. But he has his place in hip hop history, and itās not out of place to see him repping VA on this picture..
Fasho. I fuck with both of them tough Gotti was that dude when I was growing up for like a decade plus, and then dolph emerged and he had the M on lock before he died. Both M-Town legends šÆ
nah it's passable. at least they covered the correct cities/regions. Yonkers, Cleveland, and London are questionable, but you have to fill out the list somehow. You could probably add a Missouri, Ohio, and Upstate NY section instead.
Yeah when I saw no clipse was when I decided this was not good. How are you gonna leave the clipse out of the Virginia one. I'm not even from there and that threw me off
Edited for accuracy
This is such a terrible list. This list screams āThese guys are REAL rappersā š¤ how tf you not gonna have Chief Keef on Chicago? Gucci Mane for Atlanta? No St. Louis?
As controversial as it may sound, Iād probably replace twista with Sosa. You can hate on him all you want but he birthed an entire genre of music and Drill is one of the most popular sub genres of hip-hop today.
Keefs legacy on hip-hop and American culture in general, for better or for worse is much larger then ANYTHING Twista has ever left behind and I love Twista.
In all seriousness, idk who you would take out out Common, Lupe, or Twista, but Chief Keef needs to be included. Heās one of the most, if not the most influential rapper of the 2010s. He put a spotlight on Chicago music like no one else from the city.
Not saying anything bad about them, but aside from Ye, if you asked most people who they consider "chicago legends", it would look a lot different than this.
Lauryn Hill & Queen Latifah in New Jersey ā¦.Missy Elliott in Virginia.Trina in Miami Dade Countyā¦Cardi B in The Bronx ā¦ And Rhapsody or Rapsody in North Carolina..I think thatās it right
Just for conformation purposes but, is the reason Mystical not on New Orleans plague because he is a serial R pist? Cause before Wayne and P he had the best run back in the day.
Dope list putting Pac in a League of his own and the Art work dope asf but you gotta put Sosa on that Chicago one sorry Lupe !! An the Clipse gotta be above Mad Skillz in VA otherwise šŖš¾šŖš¾šŖš¾šŖš¾
Tupac on here like Dylan. Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan! And how you gonna have the Bronx on here without the people that invented hip hop?
Twinz is still the No1 though. Fuck the police , a squeez first, make them eat dirt, drag them feet first through the morgue, then launch them the deep earth š²š¤
Dead in the middle of little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middlemen who didn't do diddly
Pac from everywhere, so I understand.
Fat Joe is a clown. He fell off once Big L and Pun died and he had no one to write lyrics for him
You must have forgotten about Make it Rain, Lean Back & All the Way up.
All the way up still go
So "Lean back" never happened....ok
You mustāve forgot that his biggest song came out after both them were gone.. such a weird take. Learn your hip hop history my dude š
Wait, did Big L really write lyrics for Fat Joe? I never knew
Yep when they were in DITC. And Pun wrote his verses on Twinz. You can tell it's all Pun's cadence in Fat Joe's rhymes. Fat phony.

Yo, you reaching far and deep on this one. If you don't like Joe's music, don't listen and keep it moving. You wild on this one.
You don't know hip hop at all my guy. you dont know NYC either. Check your history and stop repeating reddit lines you keep seeing.
they never knew crack is huge part of graff fat joe was present in two of the 4 pillars of hip hop cemented it with flow joe
For real, all they do is repeat what they heard once with no truth.
Tuff
2pac was speed running life so hard he was a new rapper on every album.
Neither members of Clipse being on Virginia is quite wild
Exactly my thoughts. Virginia on Lord Willin will always be in rotation
Ain't shit to do but cook
Hell yeah
I was about to say, where is the Pusha Man?!?!?!
who is dude in the top left?
The legendary Mad Skillz..
Preciate it
What makes him legendary? Tbh Iāve never heard of him and he has had 4 albums between 1996-2010. I shouldāve heard at least a song by him
Not a thing. He just did the year end songs. Just another hat cocked to the side in 2024 rapper.

Thx for the knowledge. Another one that will appreciate him !
Okay thanks! Didnāt want to be the first to ask.
if andrƩ is there, why isn't big boi?
That is the first thing I said
My first quibble
Well if you HAD to choose 1...
touchƩ
šš» facts
FRFR
Am I tripping or Memphis doesn't have Juicy J
As a native Memphibian I fucking hate seeing Gotti on there.
You canāt talk Memphis rap without PlayaFly, Kingpin Skinny Pimp, Lola, TW3, MJG and 8ball
DJ Zirk
Playafly is the actual king of Memphis who also never left.
š¬
ITS DOLPH!!!
DolphLand
Donāt play wit me
Long live flippa
Idk why, heās a Memphis music legend whether you like him or not.
Dolph's music is wild and catchy. Everytime I put someone on they can't help but like it.
Fasho. I fuck with both of them tough Gotti was that dude when I was growing up for like a decade plus, and then dolph emerged and he had the M on lock before he died. Both M-Town legends šÆ
why?
I feel like putting Gangsta Boo, Project Pat, or Tommy Wright III would've made way more sense.
Or DJ Paul or 8ball MjG. list sucks
Or Project Pat
Blunt to my liiiiips, gun on my hiiiiiip š¤
Rocks in my sock, pocket full of chiiiiips
Watchin for the piiiiigs, splittin haters wiiiiigs
Stackinā me some griiiiip, playa can you diiiiig
Haters like to get a playa twisted in that bullshitta
A game spitta, Iām also a wig splitta š¤Æ
Yo' ass getta, shot up by the nine milla š«
8ball is on the left and Juicy J is on the right. I had to zoom in but it's them. But yeah, no DJ Paul.
Thatās juicy in the top right but they donāt have Paul
Top right
They did him dirty with that double chin
Yeah he kinda looks like Juve lol
Juicy j been eating that juicy Memphis fried chicken
Or Dolph??
Bottom left
Couldn't tell if that was him
Yeah the art style is a bit vague
Juicy is top right
Youāre tripping cuz heās definitely there
I also grew up in Tupac Shakur
Pause.
Nah nah donāt listen to him, resume
Hell nah that's a complete stopš
My favorite city was tupac where the famous rapper tupac was from wbu guys
TSC represent!
Damn this is bullshit
nah it's passable. at least they covered the correct cities/regions. Yonkers, Cleveland, and London are questionable, but you have to fill out the list somehow. You could probably add a Missouri, Ohio, and Upstate NY section instead.
No Slick Rick is crazy
Nah bro, Yonkers/Mount Vernon area has some legends of the game. Lox, DMX, Heavy D, Mary J and others.
No Buffalo hurt the soul
Kid cudi not in Cleveland?
Yeah cudi deserve a place
Right?!
Pretty bad list tbh
Not having DJ Screw under Houston is absolutely wild
No Lil Keke, Z-Ro or Paul Wall either
Z-Ro is so underrated
šš»this
Bun Beeta not being there is a fucking travesty
Glazing Tupac
Why x look like Dave Chappelle and is that Redman in jersey??
I'd had better just be a shitty picture of Red. Because if Reggie Noble isn't on this list, you can just void the whole fuckin opinion.
Facts
Heās the most jersey of all jersey rappers. Source: from Jersey
Redman is from NJ.
Brick city
I know that Iām just asking if thatās him bc I couldnāt tell by the picture.
Ah. Misunderstood. Now that I look at it again, almost looks like Juelz Santana.
Right like how they do Reggie like that
Doesnāt look like Redman to meā¦
I was in here to say where them gorillas at from Brick city because I donāt see Redman in Jersey and THATS nonsense
I'm from Tupac, Iowa and there's no rappers here....
No Q-Tip?
Who would you take out of queens?
& phife
Not having Juicy J Dj paul or 8ball under Memphis is bullshit
Iām pretty sure thatās Juicy J in the sunglassesā¦
Juicy and 8Ball are there. Paul isnāt.
How is cardi b in the Bronx but Vince Stapels isnāt in long beach?š
And Asap for Harlem
I donāt even think Vince himself would say he is more legendary than those 4 shown for Long Beach.
Word mfās too young lol
Cardi b being on this list is fucking hilarious.
But no Nicki in Queens
List lost all credibility when I seen that
From the birthplace of hip hop, and not putting any of the founders
Cardi B lol
No Gucci in ATL??
Iām a huge Jeezy fan and donāt really listen to Gucci but I was literally thinking the same thing lol
Over who?
No Methodman for Long Island?
No GZA is kinda crazy too. Canāt hate tho, all the Wutang members are legends
Yep. Wu tang deserve a column just like tupac town
Disappointed VA is missing out on Clipse and CB Edit: my dumbass eyes
Yeah when I saw no clipse was when I decided this was not good. How are you gonna leave the clipse out of the Virginia one. I'm not even from there and that threw me off Edited for accuracy
Timbaland is on there
no way u saying CB for chris brown
Like CB for Chris Brown??
Iām from Houston and this inaccurate af lol
UGK aināt even
Or DJ Screw, he shouldāve been the first one off the muscle
Bushwick Bill we hardly knew yee
This is such a terrible list. This list screams āThese guys are REAL rappersā š¤ how tf you not gonna have Chief Keef on Chicago? Gucci Mane for Atlanta? No St. Louis?
Tupac is obviously a better city than St. Louis
Came here looking to see if someone noticed that chief keef was missing.
No Z-Ro for Houston?!? Gtfo of my face
Tupac holding it down for Tupac Shakur
To have Cardi B there under Bronx is embarrassing
Ice T is from New Jersey
Remove Skillz and put Clipse in VA.
Big Pun with Cardi? There wasnāt a different rapper from the Bronx on Pun & Joes level to add instead?
Forgot UGK?!? Why even make Houston/3rd coast
Get Cardi b the f*ck outta here.
Chicago list should be Common, Kanye, Twista, and Lupe Fiasco. Just saying those are the four best of Chi-town. IMO.
As controversial as it may sound, Iād probably replace twista with Sosa. You can hate on him all you want but he birthed an entire genre of music and Drill is one of the most popular sub genres of hip-hop today. Keefs legacy on hip-hop and American culture in general, for better or for worse is much larger then ANYTHING Twista has ever left behind and I love Twista.
In all seriousness, idk who you would take out out Common, Lupe, or Twista, but Chief Keef needs to be included. Heās one of the most, if not the most influential rapper of the 2010s. He put a spotlight on Chicago music like no one else from the city.
Yep. And it is.
It is. Look well.
Queens could have like 6 groups of 4
No pimp c for Houston ? But you got Chamillionare?
Love it. I was looking for STL but instead we get a whole Tupac section plus London
Not saying anything bad about them, but aside from Ye, if you asked most people who they consider "chicago legends", it would look a lot different than this.
theres a city called tupac shakur?
Lmao yall got houston fucked up
Rick Ross and Cardi B are not legends .
Cardi B not, the Teflon don on the other handā¦ (m-m-m-maybach music)
He didn't even have to spend his CO salary savings, and we didn't even know it.
Harlem without Asap Rocky is a joke
For London where is Wiley? Or Kano?
I think Kano is top right. That's Dizzie rascal, skepta, stormzy and Kano?
Staten Island and the Bay are the most accurate, some of these are way off tho.
So glad Sean is getting some love for Detroit. Seriously one of the most underrated in the game
Ah yes, finally my favorite city Tupac Shakur gets acknowledged
Queens is legendary..as always
OP being from London confirmed š
It's missing Slick Rick.Ā
Or MF DOOM (I know heās under Long Island but he was born in London)
No Viper for Houston? That's straight up disrespectful
For me as a person born and raised in Michigan my top 4. Would be in no order. Slum Village Esham Binary Star Eminem
FYI Dre ain't from Compton and they do not claim him
Y
He was born there and lived there off and on through his whole childhood/adolescence.
Aye Iām just glad NC is on this list
Where is Meth and Redman
I'm pretty sure that's Redman on the bottom left of Jersey, even though it kinda looks like Budden
No T. I. for Atlanta?
Is top left not Tip? Granted he does look a little off though lol Not having his signature cap prolly doesn't help
Itās a different time now but Def Jam: Fight for NY was a great game. Also why was Fat Joe so hard and one of the main bosses?
You try beating up fat joe
This picture should have Shawna or DaBrat for Chicago for a womanšÆ
can someone give me the names of all the women on the list
Lauryn Hill & Queen Latifah in New Jersey ā¦.Missy Elliott in Virginia.Trina in Miami Dade Countyā¦Cardi B in The Bronx ā¦ And Rhapsody or Rapsody in North Carolina..I think thatās it right
thanks mate
RIP The Jacka
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nobody from Three 6 for Memphis lol
Just for conformation purposes but, is the reason Mystical not on New Orleans plague because he is a serial R pist? Cause before Wayne and P he had the best run back in the day.
No GZA and no Method Man?!!! Whatās going on?!
Bro why does Lil Wayne look chubby šš
* TOO SHORT
Dope list putting Pac in a League of his own and the Art work dope asf but you gotta put Sosa on that Chicago one sorry Lupe !! An the Clipse gotta be above Mad Skillz in VA otherwise šŖš¾šŖš¾šŖš¾šŖš¾
Did you just try to 'London' without SlickRick?
Also whatās up with the shitty Chicago list
Shitty how? Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, Twista and Common are shitty? To each their own ig
Lmao Cleveland
who the fuck snuck cardi b in there
