Best Rapper Alive - 1997 (IF YOUR MVP CHOICE ISN'T ON POLL, MAKE A REQUEST IN THREAD)

[Inspect Her Deck]

Where are Pac, Wyclef, and Mystikal?

Tupac was in the grave

Do you plan on voting for Wyclef and Mystical?

Where are Pac, Wyclef, and Mystikal?

I thought about Pac...how literal are we taking the "alive" part of best rapper alive?
Mystikal is a good catch...I don't know if anyone will vote for him though.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Tbh Nore should be 98 not 97

That 1997 album, though great, was posthumous. Biggie only features in 1994 and 1997 and Pac in 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1996. Simple.

so you think One Day was the best album in 1997? Or are you more rating Common's MC skills as the best of 1997? or both?

Both, although the highs of LAD are better, the album as a whole is not as good to me

Life After Death and Makaveli were both posthumous as well.

CNN made waves in 97 with War Report and Nore was always the stand out b/c of his more unorthodox style. He's a longshot of course. But he's a longshot in any year

their releases yes

but not during the album's creative process

so there's a difference

Tupac was in the grave

So was Biggie for 3/4 of the year. lol
But to your criteria, Pac released an album that year - and it was a big deal.

I don't want to be that guy, but......wasn't Life After Death posthumous too?

He had no creative input for that album breh (Pac). This was all previously unreleased or unofficial recorded music and put together by his team.

Makaveli and LAD are different cases entirely.
