That's like saying Dr Dre is the King of L.A. or Hip Hop because of his stature and record sales. Dr is involved with projects that probably total to over 100million sold.Depends what's defined as king, musically Nas, status wise Jay Z. Objectively Jay is probably the king, he's not onl the king of N.Y but the king of Hip Hop right now, he's the biggest artist I'd say. if you asked THE PEOPLE (who judge) who's king they would probably say Jay or Nas.
Pac's DR albums is over 10x Plat, Em is over 30x Plat, Fif is over 20-30x Plat, Chronic 1 and 2001 is over 10-20x Plat, not to mention all the misc albums.
But, I wouldn't call Dre the CURRENT King of L.A. or Hip Hop because he not as active nor is Jay-Z so who is the CURRENT King of New York?
