Lets talk about New York rappers for this post. I feel NYC is the originator of the rap game. I will be sharing my thoughts on Fat Joe, Ja Rule, and Jadakiss. These rappers were very popular during the time period of 2001-2008. But why write this now? Let's get into it son.
Ja Rule-Ja was a good rapper. I remember his videos were really well received on 106 and Park back in the day. He had hits like "Holla Holla" "Put It On Me" and "New York"; the latter of which featured Fat Joe and Jadakiss. I consider Ja the original MELODIC rapper. Ya know that Drake is a modern day Melodic rapper. That's right, like Ja popularized this sound that so many rappers use right now. That includes arch nemesis 50 Cent.
Fat Joe - Fat Joe aka Joey Crack was a dope rapper and well he still is. I really like his music for the fact its well...very simplistic yet effective. In a time where rappers were experimenting with lots of different sounds Fat Joe was sticking true to his own sound. He took up the mantle for Ja Rule when it came to beefing with 50 Cent. Some good Fat Joe songs include "What's Luv", "I am Crack", and "So Much More"
Jadakiss- Jadakiss might be the best lyricist out of the bunch. He has a really rough deliver but made some really good albums like "Kiss of Death" and "Top 5 DOA". Jada also has lots of hits but never really hit the level of commerical success of Ja Rule. I really think Jadakiss in particular is far from washed up no disrespect to Fat Joe and Ja. Aint nobody really checking for them like that anymore...accept well....a music nerd like me!Yeah thanks for reading.
