    They care now. Conway is the first king from out of the city. Its like when the Romans had their first emperor from outside of Italy. From King to a God.

    I voted hov so snitch9ine don't win the poll, that would be hella embarrassing.

    No one knows who Griselda are tbh. No one f---s with them here, maybe like them oldhead n----s. I like them but no one knows who they are.

    honestly, Pop Smoke gotta be the biggest voice here. I always hear him around. Nonstop. I saw a homeless b---- listen to the n----- lol, pretty undeniable

    He had all eyes on him for a year or something. Before him, I think it was Rocky and his southern rap style

    So new question; what defines King of New York? Is it raw talent or is it popularity? I mean, ultimately o guess it's gotta be both combined but does anyone really have that right now? Except Hov?

    I like the thought of Pop being it but surely you've gotta be alive to run s---.

    If we're going by best rappers I'd say Armand Hammer and Ka

    He did though. There was no relevant artist from NY unless you want to give French more props than he deserves.

    KONY is essentially a status of clout. Tekashi was pretty much the king of clout chasing.
