THERES SO MUCH WRONG WITH THIS POST.
people were looking at bone as another crucial conflict? IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. crucial conflict was looked at as another bone thugs!!!! and you mention crossroads. that songs was #1 on the charts before crucial conflict 1st video even dropped. and crucial's highest selling album only went gold.
bone thug "really blew" out the gate. their 1st video broke the box' record for most-requests and the EP sold 3 or 4 mil.
bone was already arguably the biggest act out before crossroads. even the source has them listed as the #1 rap act of 1995. crossroads didn't even exist. meanwhile. the original e.99 etermal album had them nominated for Grammys, AMAs, soul train, billboard, etc awards before they even recorded crossroads.
and wheres dr dre & snoop doggy dogg in your post?
The EP did not sell 3 or 4 mill dog , stop it. Lol.
Bone and Crucial Conflict came out around the same time..you probably right about bone being out first, at that time the fast style of rapping was becoming popular, which made for a dude from up north initially just chalked them up to "crazy fast rapping dudes" Bone has undeniable classic music so obviously my ignorance went away fast
By 95 big was already 3x platinum with One more chance the #1 song in the country. By the time thuggish ruggish dropped, BIG already had BIG Poppa as a #1 hit.
The Source
BIG was Billboard Artist of the year in 95
Between his song and Guest appearances nobody was close to big.
2nd BT got nominated for a Grammy for crossroads
what are you talking about? All those nominations came off the strength of crossroads, that song took them to the next level where BIG was already at. Snoop and Dre is definitely in the convo
BIG had more Hits
I stopped reading right there.
just admit you don't know what youre talking about dog.
and crucial conflict was never at any point on bone's level. the only reason theyre synonymous is because of the similarities & the beef.
your avi is timeless.
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
NY nikkaz don't wanna hear you though. Pac, Bone, Fugees, hell even Master P went triple platinum. All this Biggie GOAT talk wasn't until after his death to keep it 100. In '96, nikkaz was talkin' Nas, 'Pac, Face, Cube, please show me any article in '96 claiming Biggie was the GOAT
yea because biggie dying right before the album had nothing to do with the sales jump.
One could almost say it was planned
AEOM won every award known to man across all forums, went gold in two weeks and quintuple platinum in 2 months, all of this BEFORE Pac died, f*ck outta here

you Pac stans will believe anything. last i heard it went platinum before the first day was over. it didn't win many awards, no grammys, no Source awards or anything, it didn't even get any mics in the Source when it came out!? it didn't even get a review in The Source mainly due to them not getting an advance copy but i don't remember them doing a posthumous review either
List of awards and nominations received by Tupac Shakur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
^^^he actually was nominated in'96 but lost to f*ckin' naughty by nature of all people, how can you respect the grammys after that?
That would be like me respecting the opinion of an Australian hip hop fan 
He did win the AMAs though 
And you do know Pac has his own exhibit at the Grammy Museum right? Where's Biggie's? 
Anyways, for those who care....
