but i will always love Jay-Z for that Blueprint album. That was the first hiphop album i truely fell in love with.
At one Point DMX was considered better than Hov

This is a FACT and anybody who was alive in 1998 knows it.
That’s literally the point he was making dummy.Hey op....what about from 2001 - 2018 who was hotter?
DMX had the 2Pac aura going for him in '98, where Jay had the whole Biggie aura on him. One didn't really lapse the other in '98 and people kind of rewrite history in X's favor in regard to that time period. For one, Jay only had one album that year, and DMX dropped two.
ain't no debate. DMX was the hottest rapper out those years. Jay had the biggest "single" with Hard Knock Life, but DMX was more popular. people were looking for the next "2Pac" and X was the closest thing.
something that sticks out to me was the 1999 Superbowl was in Miami. they had the superbowl concert down here, basically the Hard Knock Life tour PLUS Diddy, Mase, Mary J, and a whole bunch of other people. shyt was crazy
anyway, as we're waiting for the concert to start all we heard was "DMX, DMX!!" chants. then it would be "STOP, DROP, shut em down open up shop..." chants. then WE WANT X, WE WANT X. this happened before the show started, during the breaks between acts, and right before X came on stage.

No one's rewriting shyt. We were there.
Jay-Z wins the consistency award, hands down. That's why he's considered top 3 today.
From 98-2000, I was a way bigger X fan.

yeah, i think statistically Jay-Z might be the best of all time.
According to you, you didn’t discover hip hop until 2003.. I’m not trying to disrespect you but you’ve subtracted yourself from this conversation based off when you claimed to discover hip hop....
By 2003 it was undeniable who was better in my humble opinion.
@mobbinfms
not better, just bigger. I remember everyone hitching their wagon to the DMX locomotive...dude was unstoppable at one point
even had people checking for Drag-on just to hear an X verse

Obv jay has eclipsed x cuz of consistancy but x had the higher peak.
I know vol 2 sold like crazy but i remember seeing that tour with jayz headlining thinking
“One song really got this dude headlining a tour over dmx, method man and redman?”
He was the low man on that tour but because they put it together they got the perception of being bigger but i was buggin saying how jayz headline a tour over dmx n method man...
Anyway... its dark n hell is hot to me is better than ANY jay album but obv jay got like 5 albums better than the rest of xs catalog.
And then there was x was a HUGE dissapointment to me
