POLL: What Rapper Had the Single Most DOMINANT year in Hip Hop History?::

[razassin]

50 Cent without a doubt

GRODT was played in the club, in the streets, in the suburbs

All tracks on the album got radio play

In the club and PIMP was a world wide hits

Everybody luvd 50 back then... The hoz at the club, the thugs in the hood, the white boys in the suburbs....

Neva seen a rap artist dominate the underground n the mainstream like 50 did that year

 

[really]

@ the landslide for 50.....



Yall nikkas trippin...


While I DEFINITELY know 2003 was a CRAZY year for 50... I IMO, Waynes buzz in 2008 was RIGHT THERE with his Get rich buzz... It was right there with it...



So you take: Get Rich / Carter 3 .... They cancel each other out...



It's basically Beg 4 Mercy vs 20+++ Features all over the radio all year long...



I'mma go with Wayne in a courtsey vote


Also, pac dropping 2 historically renowned classics in 1996 that sold Diamond and 6 mil respectively aint getting enough love either...

 

[yesiambowling]

Wouldn't 2000 be a better year for Em?

Regardless, the correct answer is 50. Damn, that really points out how quickly you can waste all that buzz.

 

[MiC]

Eminem in 02 not even close. 30 million records sold between the 2 albums dropped that year and a movie that grossed a quarter billion dollars in 2002 currency...

No one else is even close

If you are talking solo career then every rapper u already mentioned is the correct answer....If u are talking overall....


93 was shared by Naughty By nature, Onyx, Cypress Hill, 2pac, Dre , Ice Cube with Wu tang at the end....So Snoop couldnt really dominate 93

Fugees was to strong for Pac to dominate 96 but his death did help

97 was a Bad Boy year..with No Limit and The Wu coming in 2nd place

98 was Lauryn Hills , DMX and Jay.

02 started off as a Rocafella Year and ended with Em

03 started with 50 and ended with Outkast

08 was all Lil wayne....TI was doing his thing but Lil Wayne dominated 08


The answer to the "overall" is Lil Wayne.

You know my initial gut reaction was 50 by a landslide. but I honestly think you make a logical point here.

Might have to go with Wayne

 

[Ashtrey]

I was there for Snoop Doggy Dogg coming off The Chronic to the release of Doggystyle so I pick that.

 

[Jeet]

Just wait for Kendrick to drop his sophomore. He damn near dominated this year with no album

 

[stealthbomber]

lil wayne in 08 for me at least

50 cent was my real introduction to rap so i didnt understand the hype. i just thought it was a pretty good album

when carter 3 dropped i played that shyt everyday in my car for like 5 months everybody was playing some different song off it in the parking lot that morning wayne could do no wrong leading to and after that

 

[SunZoo]

Pac dropping two off the greatest albums in one year

 

[Foxmulder]

Bugs monkey and it isn't even close.

 

[observe]

I'm gonna have to say the Sugar Hill Gang 1979 since there was no other rap on the radio, meaning no competition..

I win

 

[Never Broke Again]

Just wait for Kendrick to drop his sophomore. He damn near dominated this year with no album

 

[BrothaZay]

50 cent but you should have included Nelly on the poll

 

[feelosofer]

Wouldn't 2000 be a better year for Em?

Regardless, the correct answer is 50. Damn, that really points out how quickly you can waste all that buzz.

2000 was like dudes emergence into being a Superstar, really Em from 2000-2003 had the greatest 3 year run of all time.

 

[BrothaZay]

Wayne was not bigger than 50.
In Da Club alone is bigger than waynes 08 buzz...
