Lets kick things off...
5. During the 90s, the crown of the king of New York was passed around between Biggie, Nas and Jay Z. It was more than just a title for the best selling or the most lyrical artist out there; It had a lot of respect connotations to it. And New Yorkers hold the title in high respect.4. 50 Cent co-owns a movie production company (Cheetah Vision) with Randall Emmett, and has a $200 million deal with Lionsgate to produce 10 movies; an average of $20 million to be spent on each movie. Setup, All Things Fall Apart and Freelance are some of the movies that have been released through the company.
3. Papoose started out with a verse on one of Kool G Rap's songs back in 1998, and then was highly promoted by DJ Kay Slay in the early 2000s, when he had his "Alphabetical Slaughter" song buzzing. To date, he has dropped 26 mixtapes, and one studio album.2. Except for 2004's Encore, all Eminem's albums have won Grammy Awards...that is a total of 5 awards for best rap album.
1. In 2010, Kendrick Lamar recorded a freeestyle over Kanye West's Monster beat, where he said he was the best rapper alive. That was before the mainstream got to know about him. And on the track, he said he was going at Busta Rhymes, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop, Jay Z, Nas...and a host of other rappers for the top spot. So, his recent verse on Control, where he pulled a similar move wasn't his first.
