At one Point DMX was considered better than Hov

Nah, not at all. These also came out of The South in 1998:

Eightball- Lost

Jermaine Dupri- Life In 1472 (not exactly a typical South album given the heavy amount of East Coast features and even production)

Goodie Mob- Still Standing

I’m not denying that. I’m saying it was a weird year becuz two of hip hop’s best had just passed and you could tell it was the end of an era. Trust me I remember breh. I was 17

It is rocafella revision like usual.
to try to make it like jay was seeing x originally. X and p were significantly larger grass root draws from being associated to Pac in some marketing.

Originally though,...
It was :
Master p
Dmx
Jay

This is by draw to the general marketplace not in the actual culture of hip hop.

Aquemni is my least played album from the bunch. I was just listing albums from 98 off the top of my head. nikka

Fellas and im sleeping because I only listened to DMX's debut and nothing else? I mean I heard the singles and everything but never spun any of them front to back

98 was a weird year. Hip hop was still recovering from the loss of Big and Pac and a lot of legends were becoming increasingly irrelevant. It was the mark of a new era. DMX and Jay were just as big as each other. You can put Pun up there too. Meth was really supposed to be the guy who had next but Def Jam fumbled the ball. Then there’s Canibus who was everyone’s number one draft pick. But he didn’t live up to his potential

I wouldn't call it a weird year.
it was a change-over year. it might feel weird now cuz it was kinda the last major changeover year we had, before it got all corporate.

but cmon breh. big pun was not up there with no jay-z or DMX.
def jam didn't fumble anything. the wutang wave was dwindling and borderline old school.

I remember us saying it was a weird period back then in real time. We’d never seen any superstar on that level get killed. Let alone two. No Limit was releasing shyt every week which was unheard of. Deathrow fell off. Puff was making albums. The Bootcamp changed up their whole sound. Nas’ music started to fall off. And the underground started to come up. Not to mention all the new stars. Mase, DMX, Pun, Jay, and Canibus.

Son you’re being honest..

Actually upon looking at the flesh of my blood tracklist I definitely listened to it before. Considering I was 4 in 1998 can I really be blamed for not listening to his albums tho
