I'd say late 98 early 99 was his absolute hottest and still he was in DMX shadow.... Hov is like Bill Gates, where someone different is the richest man in the world every year, yet Hov was always consistently no.2 or 3 during his prime. What's the saying "Why live like a King for a year, when you can live like a prince forever"

I think even though Jay was constantly outsold his albums were better every year than most. He put out some quality albums

Jay followed that Biggie/Bad Boy template and it worked out for him.

- Treated all his projects like he was hungry basically like your first

- Have some good singles for the radio that aren’t cheesy

-


He was putting out an album every year all the way up to 2003.


Jay may not have ran a year but he was selling records next to Em and Nelly.

The year is 2093. Half of the planet is a nuclear wasteland. People are scared to leave their homes lest they be dragged away to work in the Amazon mines.

The Coli still exists after discovering a way to convert JBO views to just enough energy to keep the site running. Barack Walkza had just witnessed his whole family be snatched away the previous morning when they had to venture outside to search for water. Having barely escaped, Barack knows what he needs to do.

He logs on to The Coli dot com and posts a thread. Subject: "The Camel Was Never That Nice. Prove Me Wrong?"

Jay was making Def Jam a lot of money next to DMX…


He was on top of his business every damn year. Meanwhile, most of his peers were spending their money on rims and chains instead of handling their business.
