Will Smith wasn't a dope MC and Rakim ghostwrote Summertime (Will wrote it himself)

Nas's career was on "life support" before Ether/Stillmatic (coming off of releasing TWO Platinum albums in ONE year)

Ja-Rule was always corny and nobody ever fukked with him (EVERYBODY prior to 50 and the Interscope machine fukked with Ja if only on a singles level. Dude was Drake before Drake)


Bleek was only "one hit away":martin:


Eminem belongs in the Top 10 (fukk NO:pacspit:)


Why do you keep saying.
Will smith wrote summertime.
When, I have said to you personally, will smith did not write summertime.
Plus, provided a video link to further substantiate the fact as well.

He was never the hottest rapper out at any year, which was genius in retrospect and why he stayed relevant for so long. Being #1 or the hottest comes with the eventual cost that you'll suffer from over-saturation

DMX was the hottest in 98 to me

This is spot on

That might be true but I've seen people say RD ruled 1996. False.
I never heard any statement like this in my life. Revisionists will said Jay-z was a nobody and RD didn't have mainstream success. The truth to that matter is Jay didn't have a superstar appeal like his peers with platinum albums at that time despite having a successful year with his first album. He wasn't the most talk about emcee in many hip hop publication, but he did get a lot of recognition in the NY when the state had the biggest Hip-Hop platform.

He was one of the hottest rapper in 96, breh. Reasonable Doubt was certified Gold in 96 with multiple successful singles that were charted on the Billboard.

No he wasn't. Aint No nikka was a cool lil single that got radio and RapCity play like a gang of other tracks that year..there was nothing special about it..none of the other singles made any real noise like that either. He was pretty much "that dude that be with Foxy" in 1996.

RD is a classic album in hindsight but when it was released it overshadowed by MANY other joints at the time.

Pac,Nas and Fugees ruled 96 with a iron fist.

His one album nearly sold as much as both of DMX's albums (one of which was released in the last week of 99), had huge singles, had the clubs, international, streets everything. The album even moved more than any Pac and Big album ever did. DMX was the hottest in 99, Jay in 98. :smh: This right here is one of the biggest revisionist stories. Jay was also hottest in 09 and 01. All these lists on the internet say the exact samt thing.

Mine is Jay-Z being one of the hottest rappers in 1996..

Go on
I've never heard anyone say that Jay-z was one of the hottest rappers in 1996, I've heard people say that he was one of the best though.
Show me one person or can one person please confirm that they have said this? I mostly hear haters refuting a point no one is claiming.
