The rsponses in this thread are exactly why the "Big 3" looks more like the days of when Brandy/Monica/Aaliyah fans would discuss sales and talk about how Monica wouldn't have a #1 if it wasn't for Brandy. Then when "First Night" dropped. It was, "I thought ya'll said Monica couldn't get a #1 without Brandy" or people saying, "yeah, but Aaliyah running the summer with "Are You That Somebody" without neither onenof them". In the history of battles/beef. The charts never mattered. Most people don't even know or even care what chart positions "Ether", "Takeover", "Hit Em Up", "No Vaseline", or "2nd Round Knockout" held. The discussion was about the music. Who won or lost was determined by the music.
