Rappers From New York City Have Always Been A Huge Influence To Hip Hop For Listeners And Fans

By Nick Durso


One thing that is important for New York rappers and any other artist is longevity. Some rappers come and go and we never hear from them again. Some rappers we hear from in their music, then disappear and re appear somewhere else. This is important and only few rappers understand the business side of hip-hop. What I mean by re appear, is that they are a new owner of a sports team, or company etc.

For all New York music lovers out there, 50 Cent is one of my all time favorites. Fifty was born in 1975 and has built a large credibility in the hip-hop industry. 50 Cent has been in movies, is an investor, and a legendary New York rapper. Discovered by Eminem and Dr. Dre, 50 Cent has made it a long time even after being shot 9 times and surviving. He has won many awards including a Grammy Award, Billboard Music Award, six World Music awards, plus more.

If you are a New York music lover then you already know who 50 Cent is. 50 is one of my favorites. He was born back in 1975 and started rapping at a young age here in Jamaica, Queens. He has since won many awards and been recognized as one of the most influential hip hop artists of our time. 50 Cent has been in movies, owns the Vitamin Water Company, and is a legend to all New York music lovers. He has won a Grammy Award, Billboard Music Awards, plus more.

Another awesome rapper from the state of New York is extremely popular. Jay-Z is a New York rap legend. All New York music lovers will always remember him. Similar to 50 Cent, Jay-Z too owns businesses, and record labels. He is one of the most financially successful hip-hop artists and entrepreneurs in America. He is the former owner of Def Jam Records, as well as other numerous well-known businesses.

From creating music to owning a portion of the Brooklyn Nets, Jay-Z has come a long way. 50 Cent and Jay-Z are here to stick around as New York music lover legends. They both use their own money and reinvest it to make more money in other areas then hip hop. This is detrimental to any business decision. Jay-Z and 50 have both set up foundations to become who they are today.

New York is a very hard place to get ahead. For a New York rapper to do something like Jay Z and 50 Cent, they must set a foundation. There is a saying, "If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere". Maybe some of these new rappers from New York can start a savings plan to be a part owner of a sports team like Nelly, J-Lo, Usher, or Will Smith.
