17. Brooklyn’s Finest
Within the Hip Hop community there is one title that is the most coveted of them all, and that title is the King of New York. That title may have lost a lot of its luster lately, but back in the 1990’s the competition was fierce for those vying for that throne. You can’t have the King of New York discussion without of course mentioning B.I.G., and his fellow Brooklyn brethren Jay-Z.
One of the standout tracks on Jay-Z’s classic debut album Reasonable Doubt, Biggie lets it be known why he adopted the moniker Frank White as he goes toe-to-toe with one of the very few MCs who can keep up.
