Flex and Fat Joe Discuss Some of The Greatest MC's of All Time  

Lol,true. He remind me of my uncle

So true!

He's from the Bronx, part of DITC. A lot of rappers can't say they were there when it started. Fat Joe was there.

Robert Mccoy he has a damn good memory of it thats for damn sure

D The Chemist Fat Joe memory make me regret ever having smoked gas.

@Jarrel Ely It might've been her I think she was attending Fordham University in the Bronx at that time.

You should DM Joe and put this idea to him. I would take out a Netflix subscription just for that.

others too ... not just Him.

capo75 capo fat joe would be everywhere in NY. If you watch a lot of old videos you’ll see joe in a lot of them. Joe saw a lot in his life

He's been killing it since flow Joe

This is a fact he was the nicest in that era

No question, my most favorite rapper, and it aint even that im bias.. .L was the best punch line rapper, and if he lived longer then he did.. best to do it.. even nas said he would never want to freestyle against L.. L would body him, and Jay z got on with his career because L had died, because L was on his label, and the freestyle jay and L had.. L killed him

Turner9090 facts

@Jarrel Ely Lauren but she wasn't a rapper she was the definition of a true artist

Facts, he just wasn’t around long enough unfortunately he’d be top 5 100% with Em biggie pac nas

Nijee Vaughn it’s the BEST

He has so many he just doesn't get asked the right questions

U dont gotta be a certain age if you know music

40^

or a very true HipHop head acquainted with history

Very true statement. We upperclassmen really enjoyed this. Sparked a lot of nostalgia.

Facts!! If you choose to be a part of this culture you it the respect it deserves by knowing where it came from. You don't have to like it but you gotta respect it

He still top 10 idgaf RUFF RYDAZ

DMX was big but he wasn't a lyrical dude. Also around that time u had West Coast artists like Xzibit and Mack 10 who were gigantic at the time too. Jay-Z didn't really start blowing up until later.

David Duarte just from this comment shows you have no idea what you're talking about. And you should hop on someone else's comment with that bs

+loyal D how old are you?

Eminem ?

Tru

Flow Joe is one of my favorite Hip Hop songs of all time!!!

I'm that old it's mad

1/2 Rakim + 1/2 Kool G Rap = 1 Nas. Basic math

C.D. Jegbadai good

C.D. Jegbadai good shyt bro check it out. Check KRS One criminal minded. LL COOL J IM BAD ALBUM.

You won't be diappointed bruh

Rakim is a beast make sure you listen to him on Jay-Z’s song The Watcher too

Great call bro! Check out the God Rakim! I promise you, that you will not be disappointed.

T Groenhuis niggas sleep on Face Mob, yo 🤦🏾‍♂️

Honestly you could have a strong top 30 from 1980-2005. There's many they missed but certainly not out of lack of respect.

hip-hop started in NY

When be people mak hip hop lists its not just skills its influence on ones life. These are 2 ny cats. If you hear fat joe memories are attached to the music. Its hard to add people that dont have the influence factor

The Third this is very true

Gee Money 💯 💯 💯

Go check out K RINO. He is dopest MC period

Nuff Respect. K RINO is super super dope. I truly wish more rappers would use hip hop as a tool to teach the youth and the masses of lost and uncivilized minds in the world. We used to always have a few emcees in the mix to give you a message. Shout out to you for knowing true musicianship and recognizing talent. Shout out K RINO

Gee Money I've been telling people about his music since I discovered him. It's mind boggling at times

I just check him out.. listened to one of his song with 1.5M views and he sounds like a bootleg version of Immortal technique. the message is there but the rhyming scheme is weak.

Mauga biongo FACTS

RustyMetalFingerz garbage?

RustyMetalFingerz he was in ditc he could never be garbage

You must be from the east coast or smoking crack! I wouldn't say legend. Not even top ten of all time. All these New York rappers bias as fukk never giving West Coast rappers there props. Always been that way that's why us West Coast peeps don't have love for them like that either. I'm so proud and love the fact I grew up on the west during that whole era. I understand everything they saying in that interview I was there living it but the West Coast is the best coast we got our own story to tell!

He got CocaVision

Podcast on Tidal, unfortunately, called CocaVision

It looks like he campaigning for a movie role....

He's in the new Kevin Hart movie.

James Urquhart he does haha

Rakim has to be the best to ever do it...no doubt.

Jarrel Ely Hell no

Joe boss of Bronx, Nas- Queens,Jay- Brooklyn, Diddy-Harlem, Rza-Staten.

SO accurate

And he's sill going strong 2018 under front men kasanova the don and kindle da flame

Sean Gray chill son, he ain’t my fav rapper fav rapper, nas is ur fav rapper fav rapper, Tupac was a great rapper , well over rated , period

@@NAMSOist only people with limited intelligence would think PAC is overrated

Joel Wood only people who think pac is the greatest and overrate him are people who are small minded and not willing to listen to other greater people in the rap game, as we are talking about the music and not outside it, I love pac he is great and has good message and is most influential, but there are people who also had message and better lyrics and delivery and albums and style and punchlines and etc. Pac has mind control over u fools, I asked someone why he the greatest, they said how many records he sold (which sold when he died) they said how many songs he put out an albums (a lot of them were very average and low) and how many movies he put out before 25, (wtf movies got to do with his Music, shall we say will smith is the best

Biggie is better than pun

Derrick Robinson True but its room for argument.....you get what I'm sayin?.....Biggie versus alot of other people is no argument.

GRAY WOLF great point

Pun was the punch in king... once you hear it, you can never un-hear it. It’s distracting. Still one of the illest to ever put words together, and flow was dope still - but punched in a lot. And let’s be honest, dude was a BIG GUY lol. It’s not surprising.

Alex His words were so melodic and rhythmic... it was infectious....it was hard not to bob your head to a Pun verse.....sorta like say a Busta Rhymes. There's a lot of rappers with content and bars but they couldn't put the words in a fluent musical format like Pun so it flowed like water.

Nigel Moore bro X was a lyrical monster. I just got done listening to grand finale

Nigel Moore Absolutely

agreed

Jarrel Ely With Big L not being around as long it’s hard to say.. from what he did release though, the bars he spit were unreal, so I’d go Big L

Totally agree that conversation wouldn't make sense without putting DMX in !

Without a doubt...Nobody could mess with X 1998-2002.

Emmanuel Mwanza 02 is a stretch but definitely until 2000

@@jayslay1000 50/eminem even included him in the ja rule beef tracks at times. He maybe didnt out out an album as good as before, but he was still great af

For some reason people don't like putting X in that list or just feel embarrassed mentioning him.

Gee Money RUN DMC changed it all!!

David Dixon not necessary I'm 25 and ik everybody they brought up

David Dixon, you killed them to tell them to get they googles. Lol

David Dixon yeah I’m 26 and I’m familiar with every rapper on here. Even the Beginning era and of course the golden era of hiphop

Im 21. The only person i wasnt familiar with was kool moe dee. Never heard of them.

dude I am 30 and know all the artists he mentioned.

Facts

Nore and red alert should be on that panel talkin with them

Yerr! These guys didn't even mention the Wu?! Are you kidding me?! 93 - 97 was Wu-Tang rampaging through hip hop! The whole clan in 93, meth was hit or miss in 94 - (couldn't compete with Nas that year anyway cause really nobody could!), in 95 two the hottest MCs in the game were from the clan! GZA and Rae with their solo debuts! Ironman by Ghost in 96! And in 97 it was Wu-Tang Forever! C'mon bro, in one form or another these niggas had their hand in that hip hop jar, don't front yo!

@@mawandemdutywa2571 clan would have been greater if they all remained with rza and not go their own way, rebel INS is proof that going to loud put him second tier behind rae, ghost and meth. He had the most insane verse on Triamph even though it's a recycled verse he used before Wu tang forever. U God is pure wack, should have never been in the group he's always been hating and causing internal beefs, Al though he did some amazing work on 8 diagrams, he's a below average rapper, not to mention masta killa is so private some people don't even know what he looks like.

CHICOIZPAIN jersey need that love redman was a beast

CHICOIZPAIN nah

CHICOIZPAIN Reggie Noble

CHICOIZPAIN The most underrated rapper of all time

Facts

So ahead of his time his parents haven't met yet

Mad skillz is average

Big L was a monster on the mic! Even Nas feared him

THANK YOU. I was dissapointed he missed out and L was joes boy. If L lived any longer then what he got to live.. He would be the king to this day.

@@timlewis2522 what?

He's another what "if" .... We saw his whole career, if it wasn't for that accident he had.. He was lyrical beast

Blackelly 5 yeah kool mo dee wouldve annihilated krs one lyrically.. but kool mo dee didnt have the hits or commercial success

He has classic songs, but no classic albums. The Old school artists weren' making well-rounded albums back then, it's not until the mid-late 80's that artists started making complete albums with classic material like Rakim, KRS, etc

Em 50 camron* outkast nas big and jay z era

Facts!!!!!!!!

Eddie Natal and Big L or Naz bro that would of been amazing

Eddie Natal or DMX

HISTORY Eddie Natal

Eddie Natal EMINEM IS COOL BUT GUYS LIKE BIG L, SEAGRAM, AND SCARFACE GO HARDER Just my opinion.

Big Pun & Kool G Rap

Jarrel Ely + Two different eras. Bear in mind. Moe Dee basically quit rapping to attend college, because in his day, "rapping" wasn't considered a solid career path. But, for the point of arguing, G Rap takes him. Moe Dee peaked when he was battling LL, and had no gas left for the verbal gymnastics that G Rap was putting down when G Rap was peaking. Yes, Moe Dee was dope AF when he came out, and ultimately squashed party-rhyming Busy Bee; no question Moe Dee was dope for a few early-80's years. By 1990, it was G Rap and Rakim/Rakim and G Rap. (They both lifted the bar in terms of pure skill).

Jarrel Ely + The true forgotten/under appreciated pioneer is Melle Mel. He would easily push around a whole lot of classic-era MC's.

Jerrel Ely + That's a good one, but easy. G Rap. Not that this has anything to do with that matchup, but K Solo never got to really shine. I forgot the politics on his career. Although Solo had a choppier delivery, Kane basically fathered his original style, and then you could hear the G Rap influence on Solo's second album. But, Solo was a dope dude no doubt.

He kept Big Daddy Kane on his toes and his heels!

@Jarrel Ely NO.He wasn't worried about him....I think the only 3 rappers that could make BDK sweat were Rakim, KRS-ONE, and Kool G.Rap

FACTS...ive said that for years, but people aint buying it

He is super nice

HAHA HAHA educate yourself ! We should know our history. Respect
