A list of the 50 best New York rappers of all time has been released, with Jay-Z reportedly ranked as the top rapper. The list has sparked reactions from several artists who were not included, including Max B, who walked out of an interview upon learning of his exclusion, and Azealia Banks, who criticized the list and called for a boycott of the publication. Other artists, such as Kool G Rap, were also notably absent from the list, prompting criticism from fellow rapper Maino.
