One got to go TI, Lil Wayne, DMX, Redman

[mobbinfms]

yea i was about to mention the 1st album, but youre focusing on just the east coast and 1 album.

A lot of people were completely dismissing him as a non factor across the board. Just setting the record straight. Red had his time.

 

[JustCKing]

Nah Dmx is the only rapper to have his first 3 albums debut #1 on the billboard top 200 breh,do ya research

And still their record sales don't compare to DMX's

I did the research and it turns out that J. Cole, Drake, Rick Ross, and Snoop Dogg also had their first three albums to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200.

Short was running the Bay during that time.

But our course. My point is nikkas with slight success only get credit when they're from the east

 

[Carter G. Hoodson]

Too easy...Lil Wayne

Red was running the East in 92-93.

Ok,stop comparing him to nikkas that was running the country or a huge factor in it.red wasn't a big deal. And his so called classics are just alright

Moron revisionist history

i can rock with that.

he was far from a non-factor.

naughty & then onyx were the beasts of the east.

and naughty from the same state as redman.

What 10 east coast artist were bigger than Redman, during Redman's 3 album run?

Keep in mind, Redman albums saw the Gangsta rap era (1992), the Nas/B.I.G. bring New York Back era (1994), and he saw the Shiny Suit era (Pac and B.I.G. r.i.p.) (1996). And Redman albums also saw the Down South/Roc era (2001).

being a top 10 artist on a particular coast doesnt equate to being in the forefront.

like i said, its easier to have longevity(back when it mattered) when the microscope isnt on you like that.

redman was a force with those first 3 albums, but lets be reality, he wasnt even the top dog in his state.

If I said spice 1 was running shyt based off dropping gold albums in 92' 93'94' and 95' nikkas would laugh. These east coast bias b*stards

thats what im saying.

i could at least see if redman was one of those gold artist who had the impact of someone with a diamond plaque, but he wasnt that. closest he came was the initial run.

Short was running the Bay during that time.

and naughty was running jersey.

Let me get this straight,
1) He was a force
2) He wasn't the top dog in New Jersey during the 90's
3) Top 10 means nothing
4) His longevity doesn't matter for some reason you made up

My only guess is you just having fun out here...like that guy who sits on milk crates in front of the corner store arguing why Pontiacs are better than Toyotas.

Group vs soloist
Nobody in Onyx stood out like that.
So the question is Treach vs. Red.
I'd argue Red over Treach. Obviously Naughty sold more records.

you dont have it straight

1.) he was a force, but he was never at the forefront of the game.
2.) are you insinuating that redman had a bigger wave than naughty?
3.) BE SMART SON
4.) this wasnt directed towards redman. it was aimed at tip & wayne. i was saying that longevity doesnt mean anything NOWADAYS because theres nothing organic about mainstream rap anymore.

vin-rock is my favorite member, but treach was by far the primary emcee.

nobody in onyx stood out??

it doesnt matter who you personally think is better between redman & treach.

all this is neither here nor there anyway. the bottom line is that redman was never the man on the east coast, let alone the whole of hip-hop.
