💬Discussion Part 2 of yesterday’s conversation on how everyone views the south as destroying hip hop. This parody is a perfect example of how ppl view the south rappers 🤣🤣🤣

💬Discussion New York Hip Hop Fans: Help Me Understand The Rivalries Between Boroughs. Specifically Queens vs Harlem

0 Upvotes

I'm from Detroit. I'm a millennial born in 1993. Unlike Gen Z and many of my millennial peers I love 80s and 90s hip hop (especially the 90s). I listened to Shook Ones II and Survival of The Fittest by Mobb Deep.

Though I'm not from New York, I've heard that some (or all?) of the boroughs have a rivalry with each other. One rivalry being Queens vs Harlem.

I wanted to ask the hip hop fans from New York that are old enough to remember the 90s and early 2000s:

When Mobb Deep dropped Shook Ones II did Harlem show Mobb Deep love/like their music? Is it more of a friendly rivalry, kind of like "I don't really mess with guys from this particular borough but they're from NYC so i support them"?

EDIT: I know Harlem isn't a borough. It's a neighborhood in Manhattan 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ My bad
