What the fukk are you talking about?
So Jay selling 2 million records, having his first #1 record in his career, winning like 5 grammys and on in 09 while Drake dropped his first mixtape that made some noise makes Drake the hottest rapper
"Not because I don't like Jay..".
Should I bring in some sources explaining this in longer articles for you to understand?
Drake was the hottest rapper in 09 nikka. End of story. Hov did a lot in 09, but Drake was new. He had features everywhere was played in every club and people were anticipating his album. And we can agree to disagree, stop acting like a bytch with your retarded smileys, we're not 4 years old
.People call me a Drake stan all the time, so it's obvious that I'm a fan.
His biggest feature of that year was a single no one remembers (Timbo - Say something).
By hottest rapper I mean buzz...and who was the most talked about in the hip hop world. Nothing deep to it
Not on the level of Busta, Pac, Fugees. Not a shot to Jay because personally RD is the best album of 96 in my opinion. But kids in 96 were singing "Fu Gee La", "California Love", "Woo Hah", even "Crush On You" by Lil Kim. Not "Ain't No nikka"
Some real revisionist:
No Limit love nowadays was non-existent during the time. At least to "Real" hip hop fans. They thought Master P and Silk were awful and that No Limit flooded the market with sub par music and were a terrible fad. Now everyone acts like they made a bunch of classic albums and they were chock full of great rappers. Only rapper people halfway respect on No Limit was Fiend before Mystikal came on board
Everyone hated the Mase/Diddy shiney suit era, but just like No Limit, time has turned "Harlem World" album into a classic
Rappers in the 90s were really gangsta. Nah, most of them nikkas was frauds and pussies too, just not as many because there wasn't as many rappers. And we just didn't have social media to easily expose them like we do now.
Bone Thugs was novelty rap, they weren't considered this great group at the time, they were just the really popular group that raps fast but nobody knows what they're saying
By 1999 Nas had fallen off completely in terms of respectability. Not in terms of notoriety, the Hate me Now video probably one of the most popular videos of all time. But Nas being considered in the Rakim elk had been gone at that point. Nas didn't revamp himself til the Jay-Z beef.
Big L being one of the greatest rappers of all-time. Big L was considered a great MC, that made a good but not great debut album and then died. Now you have kids in their teens talking about Big L is a top 5 rapper of all time
Camron is probably top 30 rappers ever to me but white people and young folks do this to him and Dipset. They act like Dipset was some novelty group and that Purple Haze was the illmatic of 2004 when at the time it was just seen as some commercial shyt that was nice. The most annoying part is 90% of them disregard pre Roc-A-Fella Camron, which was the best Camron. Same way they disregard pre-Aftermath 50.
Been telling people the way people talk about Future now was the way folks were talking about Bone. Not to equate them or anything
And Big L dikkriders are some of the most annoying people in hip hop 90% of them don't even know what DITC is or know that Big L Mase and Cam were affiliated
Agree with the Mase shyt too. People do it to Gucci Mane also
People call me a Drake stan all the time, so it's obvious that I'm a fan.
His biggest feature of that year was a single no one remembers (Timbo - Say something).
No one might remember it now, but in 09 that and Wayne "Every Girl" was everywhere. And "Best I Ever Had"
Blueprint 3 was heavy also but Drake was younger, fresher, more potential. People already knew what to expect from Hov
They were all bigger but Jay was still a big deal in 1996. He wasn't the biggest rapper or close to it but he had notoriety. He was a "name"
Who cares what they were expecting, a lot more people bought BP3 than Drakes album which was released a year after when his buzz was a lot bigger, so that should tell you that it was a huge album.
Every girl was not a feature, it was a Young Money song and neither was Best I ever Had, it was a Drake song. And none of them were close to being as big as ESOM and Run this town. Jay and Em dominated 2009, however for some reason Em's buzz has not really been felt in the rap game since like 04.

Superstar
Real talk. I liked Big L, but after his death people were exalting him as one of the GOAT's.
He was just another good rapper to me, and basically took his style from Lord Finesse, but had better punchlines.
shyts annoying the post Big L death standom was mostly by corny white kids who love horrorcore punchline rap. The kids who eventually ended up being Slaughterhouse fans. Big L was nice but he was no AZ/Pun/Jay/O.C.
People always claim he killed Jay-Z in that 7 minute freestyle like all he didn't do was subpar punchline after punchline with a great flow. Hov's lyrics were 30 times better

If you ask me I'd say Pac was the hottest that year. Then you had people like the Fugees, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, Lost Boyz right behind him.
