I also could've mentioned Kanye there too. I guess Mike Jones could've gotten a mention too considering the look Houston got after "Still Tippin" took off. Then there's Three Six Mafia who had "Stay Fly" and their biggest year that was capped off with that Oscar nom for their work on Hustle & Flow. 2005 was stacked. But yeah, Jeezy had a huge 2005 too.

LMAOOO @ 2002-2003 being Nelly
Bad News, In Da Club, Wanksta, etc. was already out in 2002...the whole summer of 2002 was 50 easily, let alone earlier that year with all the G-Unit mixtapes
And Em never "ran" those years...he always shared them with others...record sales wise he did smash the charts those years though
Charlamange (ugh) is also correct that while 98 and 99 were the years where the term "DMX the game" came from, Jay was HEAVY in rotation at that time
In fact I'd reason that 98-00 was the reason why so many people hated this nikkas guts

Jay always been on top, but he never had a year when he was THE MAN, like X had 98 or Pac had 96.
I'm about quality of music.However,Jay-z always talks about numbers.

Nelly's "Hot In Herre" and "Dilemma" were bigger than anything 50 had out during that period.

Jay was in heavy rotation, but DMX was the poster boy for that year.
Bruh.....ahahahhaha, nah b. Listen, Monster, Beast Mode, 56 Nights and DS2 was killing shyt. Future got 2015 without Drake. Future didn't need a Drake stimulus that year, Drake jumped on future dikk on some "look at me im cool too" type shyt.
And while we talking about years 2014 go to Bobby Shmurda and Hot nikka. Idc if it was one song that one song ran that year.
That wasn't the point. Yeah, those Future tapes were huge. It doesn't take away from the fact, that "Where Ya At" featuring Drake was the biggest song of Future's career at that point and it doesn't change the fact that WATTBA was Future's biggest project at that point. Did I say he needed Drake? No. Drake was still instrumental in Future's success and run during that period though. To say he wasn't is a lie. Drake benefited Future far more than Future benefited him.

2pac was not on top in '95.
anyway, theres more to being on top than just sales. lol @ Eminem, nelly & drake.
jay was clearly the man in 01-02. arguably ''00 & 04.
and he was the only mainstay from '98-04.
