For the better part of my younger life New York rappers dominated Hip Hop. From Wu-Tang, to Nas, Biggie, Jay-Z, and DMX. The 90’s were pure unadulterated New York. Sure the west had the G-Funk era in the early part of the decade, but after the fall of Death Row, that was it. And while Jay Z has remained Brooklyn till he dies, steady getting air play whenever he drops an album. Other artist haven’t been so lucky.
