The Internet went into a frenzy after Rich Homie Quan’s VH1 Hip Honors tribute to Lil’ Kim. The “Type Of Way” rapper butchered Biggie’s verse on “Get Money” and immediately social media went in on all of the other possible rappers they could’ve picked to pay homage to the Queen B.
Here is a list of New York rappers that I think would’ve pulled the tribute off the right way.
