Gotta remember the East Coast/West Coast beef was maybe the biggest public feud in music history and 2Pac was one of the most major artists in America at that point. You could argue that it was during that period that hip-hop had moved up the ladder as some of the most popular music in rotation.
True shyt...what death row was doing pushed the culture foward and influenced everything that came after...having the first million dollar music video..the repeat massive record sales on each outting...no label was selling mass quantities like death row was doing...the summer of 96 was tense...Pac was on a mission to shut bad boy down....hitem up was getting heavy play everywhere...he had most the public on his side...Puff and big were getting clowned...it was rumors puffy tried to kill himself...Suge had advertisements holding puffy kids..it was so much going on that year but esp that summer....it would've been ill to see how 97 would've went with the release of Life after death had both lived from a fan perspective ...would it have been enough to slow down that momentum 2pac/deathrow had built up coming out of 96? 97 was a massive year for bad boy....

What your saying is parically correct. "How do you want it" hit #1 as well as "California Love" but they were basically the same single so they both went #1. But since "Hit em up" was on the actual single it gets that credit. Yes nobody really says "Hit em up" went #1 but it's on a #1 single. Everyone got caught up on "Back to Back" charting when techincally "Hit Em Up" and "Who Shot Ya" both charted being on Hit singles. "2nd Round K.O." also charted and wented Gold. "Momma Said Knock You Out" Won an actual Grammy and did very well on the charts. "Back to Back" didn't do anything unique that already hasn't been done for diss records.

This doesn't negate anything I said.
There are a gang of Billboard charts, and they measure different metrics. The "Billboard Hot 100" and "Top 40" are the major ones.
The only thing they were designed to measure since way back in the day was airplay. Hot 100 measures the records that get played the most,
across any genre. If it made those charts, it was a hit. That's where the term "hit" comes from. They've changed that since "How Do You Want It"
came out, but that's what it was then. They had different charts for sales and maxi-singles and all that, because that didn't have anything to do with
the airplay.
A single could go Gold and still not be a "hit" if it doesn't hit the Hot 100 back in the day.
