You could be right. I thought about it: there could be some errors here and there.
Billboard "Hot Rap Songs" Polygraph is brilliant (MUST SEE)

I never thought Big L would be number 1
Also how does a chart go from having Big L to Psy

was cool to see, i stopped around 2001. i swore Tha Crossroads came out earlier than 96 tho, i was waiting for it all the way through 95 lol i guess my memory of the single/video is mixed up with me buying the album in 95. or maybe i'm thinking of 1st Of The Month.

Keep in mind the Hot Rap Songs chart is not the same as the R&B/Hip Hop chart or the Hot 100 or whatever. Billboard has so many charts like the Grammys has no many categories and rather than make it an opportunity for different types of Hip Hop songs to prosper its random or one artists sweeps up.
Can I Get A was a huge song, but only #22 on Hot Rap Singles
Big Pimpin was #9. Probably was in that graph or maybe it was so low they just didn't bother to put it in.
The difference is that nobody took Tootsie Roll seriously. Nobody could even tell you who was in the group. Maybe that shyt was big in the clubs? I was too young.that's actually dope af
that battle between flava in ya ear and tootsee roll in fall of 94
then big poppa came in and swooped up another W for bad boy
then pac looking likeand drops dear mama
crazy to see and hear them in succession like this
after hearing some of these yall golden era nikkas can NEVER say that dumb shyt about this generation. you had some hot garbagecharting every year

This also proof that around the early to mid 00's Hip Hop fans only THEN started giving a fukk about the charts cause suddenly the south was taking over radio and video outlets over NY and LA masses save for a handful, and ringtones started to be a big thing and then 50 kept on banging in his interviews about how soundscan and charts work (No doubt stuff he only learned that day in a meeting with Jimmy cause that's how he sounded in all those 05 interviews) and everyone online started to listen to that and that became the overriding discussion. I think we're only just now in the last few years realizing again it doesnt mean shyt unless a Drake fan brings it up.

That;s what I'm saying it was only in like the mid 00s we started to treat Clubs and charts as the ONLY viable form of credibility
Can I Get A was such a huge song too. That's why I don't trust billboard.Can I Get A was a huge song, but only #22 on Hot Rap Singles

Fair.
Besides, we don't really know how this is measured nor the intricacies of how it works.
It says "From 1989 through 2001, [Hot Rap Songs] was calculated weekly by airplay on rhythmic and urban radio stations and sales in hip hop-focused or exclusive markets, and.was based on how much the single sold in that given week"
I got into Jay-Z because of "Can I Get A". That's how huge that song was.
