I do think Ja’s song deserves to at least be mentioned here.

Kool G Rap has to take it. Classic. What about Mos Def’s Brooklyn?

I always liked Trag’s ‘Welcome To QB’ remake better than Killa’s version.

I might be bugging out, but in order for a song to qualify as a New York anthem or dedication, shouldn’t the song at least be ABOUT New York?

It’s not so vintage, but Welcome to New York City” with Hov and Cam was pretty hot

Streets of NY-G Rap

Always liked Brooklyn Queens by 3rd Bass as a runner up.

the Green Lantern remix of Jay & Cam ‘Welcome To NYC’ is dope – worth seeking out.

the OG mix of the AZ/Ghost/Rae track has to be up there, plus the Ja/Jada/Fat Joe track was getting burn all over NYC when it dropped.

A curveball choice from ’05, Aasim’s ‘Streets Of New York. That joint was nice. And no ‘Big Apple Rappin’ by Spyder D? Damn.

With all due respect, but, not for nothing, Chicago is now Gotham, as evidenced in `The Dark Knight`.

Yeah, you’ve got to have Deja Vu in there. And these guys you’ve polled think Talk of New York is better than Rotten apple? Are they fucking deaf?

I ain’t even from New York, I’m from Cali. 2 cents from here, if somebody asked me the biggest NY anthem that we felt all the way on this side, it was Lord Tariq and Peter Gunns…Deja Vu. Second, I’d have to give props where they’re due…Ja Rule’s ‘I’m From NY’ got crazy radio spins out here considering it was an anthem from the other side of the country.
