Stop.
Hard Knock Life in 98>>Anything Juve did in his career.
When was the Hard Knock tour? Who was on the Hard Knock tour? Who headlined thr Hard Knock tour? Who's album was the tour named after? Those years belonged to Jay and X. If anything it was Jay who had the edge overall, even though X dropped platty twice in a yea .
You're on crack.
The numbers speak loudly. Jay had a party song in "Can I Get A" and a crossover hit with "HNL".
DMX dropped 3 platinum albums in less than 2 years. Give X his shine. He had a nice run that at his peak was bigger than Jay a the time.
And Juvenile was indeed more impactful than Jay. Jay jumped on Juvies song....not the other way around.
and the HNL Vol 2 album was cheeks outside of the two singles I mentioned, and "Money, Cash..."
Song for song it can't compete with 400 Degreez

DMX was the new artist in 98 and Rocafella was footing the bill, so it makes sense the tour was named after Jay. But its clear who was shutting down the shows. Jay was never really the best rapper ever at any point in his career. Big and Pac were before they died, Jay-Z tried unsuccessfully to take it with that Sunshine bullshyt but it was really still Puff and Mase running shyt, then X came and took it back to the streets, then Ja Rule and Nelly came out, then 50 Cent came through. Jay was always just there. Always great. But never the break away running the rap game selling 8 million records star.

And it was DEFINITELY a conflict of interest that Jay was in charge of releasing his former rivals' albums. I definitely wouldn't have been comfortable with that if I was any of those rappers.
How?
Yeah, 96-2000 Jay is my favorite, while he's made dope tracks and albums since, thats the Jay that I got into in middle school...raw, but composed, that shyt like 'A Week Ago', (top 10 Jay track) is long gone...he lost something of his real street side in those years. All the DMX conspiracy nonsense...I believe anything in the 90's, as far as competition, tension, ego....but anything like Jay somehow sabotaging him is bullshyt, X was a trainwreck by the mid 2000's, his own worst enemy.

Who's the best MCs? Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
This Era Jay is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm hoping and praying that if Jay makes another album or a last album he brings it back to that era just for the fans.
