the thing is, ny nigguhz don't really think of new york hip hop as "new york hip hop", especially in the 80's and early 90's. nigguhz ain't like too short and e-40 cuz they were wack mc's, and yes we heard them, their videos played on mtv and on video music box(ralph played everyone's video). i like spice 1, as well as other mofo's, and nwa was poppin in ny as well.
