Watch The Throne... Is There Really a KING of Hip Hop?

[Toothpik]

kanye is the king...period....wait till he drops another classic album.....outshined jay all his career basically, held his own lyrically with nas, krs, rakim.....kills wayne on his own shit plus wayne fell off....jay is just a rapper with a good flow it seems...ross talks bout the same shit, the youth generation doesnt even know who the hell nas is...classic music=king status.....ye wins by a landslide

The King is the one everyone shoots at and for. That would be Jay or TIP.

Why hip hop need a King? Ain't no rappers tryna bow down to niggas especially since all they do is rap like hey tryna do. I don't see people tryna do a King of country music or king of alternative...just rap and rnb act like they have to have some kinda head of everybody that's some ol slave mentality type shit like we blacks just have to have a massta even if its another blackman instead of whites

I feel u on dat dere......its hard for niggas to eat off the same plate, in rap and on tha street level.

Jay's got the money and the influence, so in pragmatic terms, he's the bauce. None of the other names on your list are able to make life or death decisions about artists' careers.

LOL at Nas being disqualified simply on the basis of "he lost."

Pop had MJ as the King

Rock had its King

So it's not just Rap and R&B

Too early.Hip Hop doesnt even have 70 years on its back.

They doing their best to make it seem like jay got that title when he been taking mad L's his entire career. Shits sickening. For me its pac. Short life or not, he's the reason shit got so global.

Being King means nothing nowadays. No rapper will ever be king or the best when they put their talent and art in the hands of others. We viewed B.I.G. as King because puffy made him that, at any time puffy could have destroyed his career like he did so many others and then B.I.G. would have been just another rapping ass nigga. Label CEOs are the true kings of this rap thing.
