The need to find the G.O.A.T. in every field has become an obsession. PVNCH also has this obsession and wants to tell it out loud. He recently decided to give his two cents on the best hip-hop artists from New York, and his opinion almost got him featured on social media as one of the 'Men will say this instead of going to therapy.'
According to the battle rap host, Nicki Minaj is the 2nd best rapper to come from New York after Jay-Z. Not the 2nd best 'female' rapper, but overall rapper. Now, this was a bold statement considering New York has produced some of the best rappers of all time.
He started by saying she is the best rapper coming from New York after Jay-Z, but quickly added the word 'alive'. He said:
"Nick Minaj is a better rapper than anyone in New York, other than Jay-Z. She can rap on a pop beat, she can rap on an R&B beat, she can rap on drums, and she can rap on a traditional boom bap. Nicki Minaj is the second-best rapper alive, before they start losing their s***."
Fan reaction to PVNCH naming Nicki Minaj as the 2nd best rapper from New York
This ranking came at a perfect time. Just a few days ago, Billboard named Nicki Minaj the best female rapper ever. Many fans might agree with that, but many fans were not happy with the other ranking. They decided to rally on behalf of all 'alive' New York rappers like Jadakiss, Nas, 50 Cent, and LL Cool J.
The best revenge they could think of was to leave hilarious trolling comments on the internet for PVNCH to see. Here are some that might make you laugh.
User @_riwo didn't seem too pleased with the comparison:
"Is Nas from Saskatchewan????"
User @Peopleschamp78 has given an order, and it doesn't look like they are kidding around:
"Delete this."
User @LobTies spotted a Nicki fan and decided to call him out for it:
"I wish he didn't have a pink hat on when he made this take."
Something says user @Joebags40 is not happy with the ranking:
"Ik whose opinion I never wanna hear again."
User @SavageGent_ savagely explained what was going on in PVNCH's head:
"I'm on a podcast today, what dumb a** s*** can I say to get a viral clip?"
User @durag_bandit2 reminded them of another legend from New York:
"Nasir jones must be from jersey."
Who is PVNCH?
The name PVNCH might sound like a password, but in reality, it belongs to a battle rap host and a league organiser. He is well-known in the SMACK/URL scene. It stands for Ultimate Rap League and is a battle rap league based in New York City. PVNCH is like a referee who sometimes has opinions that can get him shouted at on the streets.
He has hosted enough rap battles that even his family functions start with him saying, "Make some noise if you got the bars." If he had to be described in one line, then this one suits him the best. If battle rap were a martial art, he would own a dojo.
