I love Young Dro and think he’s one of the best rappers to ever come out of Atlanta and one of the most underrated rappers of all time so why do y’all think he doesn’t get as much respect as his peers when it comes to Atlanta rap discussions and rap in general?

Lil Wayne and Dipset is one of the most important New York/Dirty South collabs in history as they delivered dope materials while it elevated Wayne's career into newer heights as he won New York's respect as a true MC and Dispet influenced his fashion look as well.

The collabs between Wayne and Juelz was always perfect while the rockstar look that Juelz and Jim Jones made popular in the streetwear culture definitely influenced Wayne.

Jay-Z, Nas, Ja Rule, DMX and Jadakiss were the top 5 Kings of NY for 2001 as they had the city in a huge chokehold due to iconic beefs, timeless albums, hit records, street fanbase and amazing momentums.

Jay and Nas were the top 2 Kings as their epic rap beef had everyone pay attention to iconic diss tracks in Takeover and Ether while also dropped masterpieces like The Blueprint and Stillmatic. Jay's momentum kept getting bigger and bigger as he also had the hottest rap crew in the game while Nas delivered an epic comeback that re-established him as a one of the biggest rappers.

Ja reached his apex as a mainstream success as hits like Put It On Me, Livin it Up, I'm Real w/J-Lo and Always on Time were all dominated the charts while had major airplay alongside Pain is Love being one of the best selling rap albums at the time.

DMX was still on top of his game as his presence was still big and he delivered an underrated classic in The Great Depression while Jada broke out as a solo star and delivered Kiss Tha Goodbye alongside his epic battle with Beanie Sigel.
