Old heads, was '98 DMX as big as '05 Jeezy, '15 Future, or '03 50 Cent?

I didn't start listening to Hip-Hop on the radio until 2000, so yeah I wasn't paying attention to Hip-Hop in '98

Only Fif rivals him and X was more organic, came out of NOWHERE like a comet, burned kinda fast too in a way

nikka, ain’t you in your late 30’s?

How was you not listening to radio or even watching music videos on BET and MTV at that time?

Jeezy 05 run getting lumped in with those other guys runs



I tried to tell booth posters in another thread that at one point Jeezy was on T.I and Lil Wayne level in terms of popularity....

To answer your question, He had TWO #1 albums in the same year, a movie, and about 10 guest appearances in an era that you weren't emailing your verses. This was the 2 inch tape era. That dude was everywhere in 1998. Can't compare the new eras to the 2 inch tape era. I'm still confused to how he was able to record all of those songs, star in a movie, shoot videos, and still be on crack.

Future convinced people that drugs and being a deadbeat was cool

Jeezy convinced people whisper flows and white tees were cool

DMX had movies and shyt. Aint that a different bracket

Don’t do jeezy like that. Dude had the biggest group and and the hottest in the streets. Jeezy was on god tier in 2005

'03 50 Cent's the only guy who trumps him.

I didn't have cable till '02. So obviously I didn't have access to MTV, BET, & VH1 in '98. Plus, I was only 9-10 years old in '98.

Future?

he had no run lol

50 cent was easily the biggest one
