New York is no longer on top of the Hip Hop heap. There's no doubt about that.

Hot 97's Ebro says the Big Apple's decline can be traced back to the feud between 50 Cent and Ja Rule -- which he believes divided the city for good.

50 took some time out from beefing with his family to comment on that:

This Guy said I destroyed New York HipHop because I didn't work with New York artist, to cover up he was the program director that wouldn't play there records. sMH #EFFENVODKA

I know you can't see it but you don't mean shit anymore. Buy the time you support records there already working fool. Name one new Artist or song out of New York you broke. Lol you should be ashamed of your self. #EFFENVODKA A photo posted by 50 Cent (@50cent) on Feb 26, 2016 at 8:23am PST
