You're basing your argument off of bone in the past, you're right. I'm basing it off of 1997 1998 and beyond. First of the month was a bigger hit than anything big did before 1997. And bone was a gimmick. But, you haven't answered my question.
That's because Biggie died. You know dead rappers get better promotion

Plus Bone just became a clusterfukk of unorganized chaos once Eazy died








there were plenty of rappers as big or bigger than Pac & BIG in that 94-96/97 period. Pac didn't become the multi platinum we know today until AEOM, Biggie didn't blow up super crazy until after his death. Wu-Tang as a whole but specifically Method Man were on the same level, Bone Thugs were bigger, Snoop of course was the biggest solo rapper on earth in that time frame, Coolio, Cypress Hill were probably on that level or near it just because of the weed head crossover appeal. people look back now & assume Pac & BIG must have been the only ones on top but there were lots of acts that were on that same level or even bigger at the time
