Here's a better one;
No one ran it longer than Drake nor as long as LL.

JAY-Z NEVER RAN THE RAP GAME - agree or disagree?

1) Why would anybody do that in 2017?Especially when Jeezy isn't exactly a thing of the present himself?
You mentioned P as a footnote of 97,instead of mentioning him in 98 where he also had movies,clothing line,had nikkas wearing the clothes and the No Limit pendents? P put on a whole label of stars from out of nowhere,on his back. Kicked the doors down for Cash Money which had a run the following year,not to mention the entire south in general.
I wasn't saying P was bigger than Biggie in 97,I'm saying P was Bigger than Biggie was in 97 before Biggie died,yet doesn't get a mention for 98. And you can't seriously be saying P benefited from Pacs death like Biggie and Puff benefited from Biggies death. If you really believe thats a disqualification,and you are holding that against P,than DMX shouldn't be on the list either.
Jeezy in 2017 is looked at far more favorably than 50. When people are seriously acting like 50 fell completely off in 2005, there's cause for concern because people are clearly rewriting history. 50 had artists writing disses left and right after "Piggybank". When they did a special on Kanye's Late Registration, there's a clip of Kanye's crew singing "Piggybank". 50 and Game fell out, which prompted Game's whole G-Unot movement.
Honestly, if I could've put Mase in the list for '97 and not mentioned P at all.
My list is based strictly off of the music and the response to it and the extra curriculars. I didn't disqualify P for doing the Pac tributes. I only mentioned him capitalizing off Pac because you mentioned Biggie's death. P was not bigger than Biggie before Biggie died. Biggie had dropped "Hypnotize" at the top of '97, which was huge and bigger than anything P had out. Bad Boy was set up to have a big year right when they dropped "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" in late '96 and that song is unlistenable IMO, but still huge especially at the time it dropped.
What about Snoop in '94? Even though he dropped in '93, that album carried over into '94 and then there's "Murder Was The Case", which became it's own thing. There's his VMA performance and that Soul Train Awards performance. There's also '95 Biggie.

You can usually tell how old some of you are by the opinion. I can’t even take that chick seriously. She has no clue of rap history
50 had the whole 2005 on smash. The only one who came close was Kanye and he had to rely on PR stunts. Let's not forget the whole "George Bush hates black people" stunt
50 sold almost two million records in the first two weeks.
Candy shop and just a lil bit was top5 songs at the same time

Y'all better stop it 17 was the Migos year
Also how could Eminem dominate rap when his music got no burn in any black clubs whatsoever during his peak? Jigga had white boys & the hood but you could never say the same about Em

99-01 Jay-Z was on top to black people more than Eminem.
and that Drake did not run rap from 11-17 straight
Future ran 2015 and Kendrick ran 2017.
2012 & a lil bit of 2013 with control
