Papoose says that he is the best rapper.
“Nobody is better than me — Jay-Z, nobody,” Papoose says during an interview with the Daily News. “None are more lyrically inclined than me. None of them. I’m definitely the King of New York. I am the greatest out of New York.
“More power to him,” Papoose adds, “but he’s not better than me.”
Papoose, who released his The Nacirema Dream album last year and the Cigar Society mixtape this month, details what he says separates him from other rappers.
“My pen game is the most immaculate,” he says. “I bring the most to the table on every level, concept, substance.”
Papoose, who is married to Remy Ma, says he is looking forward to her July 31 release from prison.
“That’s going to be a very special day for me,” Papoose says. “They say I never smile, but they going to see me with a Kool Aid smile that day.”
In May 2008, Remy Ma was sentenced to eight years in prison. The rapper was charged with shooting an associate, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, in 2007.
