How U Luv That???
Just came in here to mention Jeezy was the hottest in 05...TI had 06.
2001 back when Blueprint came out, Jay was the hottest. Everyone was bumping that album. Jay had the commercial appeal and the streets on lock. He also had one of the best battles in hip hop history with Nas during that era. So much impact we still making Jay vs Nas threads over a decade later. Blueprint is one of the most respected hip hop albums of the 2000s.
Nelly and Eminem sold more in that era but nobody was calling Nelly the best emcee and Eminem had that "I like Eminem but I don't like rap music" fanbase. Em didn't touch the hip hop culture like Jay did with Blueprint.

We still talkin bout Jay / Nas for one reason: Jay got Ethered.
That be like saying.... "Lebron is the Goat cus we still talking about how he choked in the Finals VS Dallas"
The sad part is, you talking, you really believe the shyt you saying.... But it's not coming out rationally... To give a nikka a boost in status cus HE TOOK AN L that HE STARTED is just![]()

50 in 06?
T.I. was on top of the world in 06.. funny how y'all forget
hell as big as wayne and c3 were in 2008 TIP and paper trail were just as big.. that album was vol 2 like with the amount of insanely popular singles
andat other dude saying top 5 was injured.. waynes carter 2 released december 05.. most of them sales were in 2006.
Same reason people call Pac GOATIf it wasn't for Reasonable Doubt, I'd have zero respect for Jay as a rapper.
"Can I live" is one of my favorite songs of all time.
nikka actually had a soul back then, but it's been a steady decline since
How y'all allow this man to dumb down his music and still have the audacity to call him the GOAT?![]()
.... and they bring up his "longevity" .... 
..... More like AC Green?
-FACT - Lil Wayne has the most hits on the Billboard hot 100 of any rapper ever
