I checked the dates and from what I could tell Jay had already dropped all his shyt from Vol2 by the time Busta started gainin steam,they wuznt in direct competetion....Dude had a lot of attention from that Gimmee some More video,then shot the 2million dollar video with Janet...and I Also just seen that Gimme Some More single wise sold as much as Can I Get A by Jay-Z...and the song with Janet sold as much as Hardknock Life by Jay with the single....that video with Janet got a lot of attention too,2million dollar budget and he wuznt arguably the biggest
keep in mind I did say arguably.
Just take away the facts for a second,and try to think back to what you was seeing around that time....Busta wuz all over the place,grammy nominations,performing everywhere....keep in mind I said arguably....I think a Busta stan could arguably make a case...I don't know any Busta stans so I don't see that happening
but I think they could make a case that he had a nice but short stretch.
And y'all talkin bout Jay as if Master P wuznt a household name in 98 and arguably bigger than Jay....nikkas act like Jay ain't have no comp back then like Biggie and Pac did...but my nikka Jay had to fight through quite a few nikkas to maintain his position...Master P wuz a PROBLEM in the real world,regardless if the NY media wanted to reflect that.
But enough of me sayin "arguably:
back to the regularly scheduled Busta jokes...but fa real keep in mind I sad arguably
