in 1999, DMX album sold 6 million (with no top 20 single) and Will Smith album (with a #1 single) sold less than 2 million if I recall right. And even this analogy is wrong cause Jeezy has both bigger singles and albums. But again I've not claimed that Jeezy is bigger in any post. Just that they're about even, leaning towards Ross. Being a bigger commercial commodity doesn't necessarily mean that you're a bigger artist. Compare Nicki Minaj and various Country artists.If Ross is the bigger pop star, he's the bigger artist. Will Smith was way bigger than DMX's. Will Smith sold more records and made blockbuster movies. DMX was more "accepted" by so called "real hip hop fans".
And what does movies have to do with anything? If LL Cool J comes out now is he a big artist cause he's in a successful TV-show? Or is Ludacris actually on Waynes level cause he's in movies grossing far over half a billion dollars

French Montana is signed to Bad Boy though, he's just affiliated with MMG.
