What New York Movement was the best rep for the City and held it down ???

[H-Rap 180]

bootcamp def takes this thread
in the past couple summers, ive seen countless BCC related free concerts in parks, etc. all over ny.

who else is doing that, with little to no music to promote?

plus, these dudes are very accessible.

Boss stuff, they are 100% unplugged from the Matrix...the beauty of being independant.

native tongue is probably my favorite all time 'movement', but i wouldnt say they were an accurate representation of ny, especially at the time they were heavy---early/mid 90's.
ny was a bad place coming outta the 80's and in the early 90's. dudes were getting murked for jordans, murder rates were at all time highs, meanwhile tribe and friends were releasing music like "buddy" and '3 feet high and rising' and 'the choice is yours' etc etc.

they, collectively, are probably the least accurate representation of ny on the list

They represented NY style HipHop tho' would you agree with the samples and style??

"I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses
I'm sick of talkin' about blunts,
Sick of Versace glasses,
Sick of slang,
Sick of half-ass awards shows,
Sick of name brand clothes.
Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks,
Cocaine and crack
Which brings sickness to blacks,
Sick of swoll' head rappers
With their sicker-than raps
Clappers and gats
Makin' the whole sick world collapse
The facts are gettin' sick
Even sicker perhaps
Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse"

LOL..everyone was throwing shots at Bad Boy...come to think with the exception of Juice Crew everyone from Wu, Boot Camp, Ruff Ryders threw shots at the shiny suit era...and I notice you left out Roc-A-Fella...was that on purpose?

oh yea. no doubt native tongue were def ny reps.
that stakes is high is one of my favorite all time songs---and that stakes is high album is crazy also.
but when u thought of/think of ny hip hop, i dont think anyone would immediately think of de la or tribe, unless u were a die hard fanatic/dretox style

Wise eyes.

I intentionally left out Roc-A-Fella even tho Jigger-man stayed loyal to Preemo, alot of people believe that Jeru split with Preemo over his allegiance to Biggie/JayZ and what he deemed as the commercialization/destruction of HipHop

^^^^^^^-Jeru went hard at JayZ..and Biggie too.

I felt like JayZ put Philly on the map more than he did NY...I mean outside of Memphis Bleek I cant think of another rapper from NY that dropped on Roc-A-Fella, and I already included Camron under his own movement which stayed much more true to NY in my estimation.

I could be wrong, do you think I should have switched Def-Squad for Roc-A-Fella?? They had Amil, Memphis, & D.J. Clue with Just-Blaze/Kanye on the beats??

I feel you. I always felt that Roc-A-Fella was sorta like a spin off from Bad Boy anyways..they really didn't get more gritty until Beans and State Property (Philly) came along.

Poor Beans, I wish Jigger would toss him a couple Mill for old times sake.

wu tang brought it the music to japan and shit plus they got the most combined classics outta all them.

g-unit went hella mainstream but ruined like 4 hot NY crews in the process so they lose by default

Good drop, I was multi-tasking and I knew I forgot somebody....damn I wish I could change the poll but I might ^^^^^do another one after we get enough votes and ^^^^^do the Top 5 on here and then pick between those.
