I think we can all agree that these are the only men who hit KING OF NEW YORK status....

[bigde09]

Still not the king of new york

Biggie was still the guy

Stop it

Ready to Die debuted at #15 Illmatic debuted at #12 Biggie even bit the album cover

Biggie didn't go #1 until he died. Nas did it breathing.

I'm not even arguing with this nikka anymore. He's not from NY and arguing with nikkas from NY about who was King Of NY. I can't with the internet man. Lol.

 

[spliz]

i got ears and eyes and a brain lol

Biggie created in 94
&
Died with it in 97

1997 come
Mase and Puff was respected like that as being the guy.
Nas caught flack for his 2nd album and the firm flopped.
Jay 2nd album missed

1998 hit
X did his thing but alot of people looked at him as a gimmick

Jay z dropped vol 2 and was officially the guy and never stop being the guy til he retired in 03

Yall boy Nas choked away the title. He supposed to be next up but Jay & X pushed him down a peg

I would be dumb to continue arguing with u. Because u aren't from here. U don't know wtf u are talking about. IDGAF what u nikkas was doing in Detroit. No further discussion bruh.

U can be mad all you want

But my timeline is 100% on point

The title officially died when 50 fell off

 

[spliz]

Man wanksta was out way before that soundtrack dropped lol

Yall some stubborn ass dudes lol

THAT was my point. He was getting his bearings with Wanksta. But he wasnt RUNNING shyt. Em just threw that on the soundtrack(that version was worse than the street version. IYKYK) to basically show he was signed to Shady/Aftermath.

You are stupid. Jay was riding RUFF RYDERS wave in 99. Remember that. DMX was THAT nikka in NYC in 98-99. From the albums. To the movies. Etc etc. ANY NYC nikka will tell u this.

U talking about movies lol

I can be childish too

Jay made rappers throw the trucks away

Had people wanting to dress like him and drink what he drank. Since yall Nas stans like grammys now. Jay won. X wasn’t nominated. X was just a hot rapper that was finished in less than 3 years

The fact that u don't know the significance of what movies like Belly did in NYC shows u don't belong in this conversation.

I see what yall are trying to do .

Yall want jay to be DMX son so bad. There was a whole thread on it and it got sent to the bushes when yall got hit with facts. Nggas deleted a 30 page thread! Yall really hate jay

We can give DMX 98 at most and even that’s a stretch. Bc bottom line one jay dropped Vol 2 he was undisputed king until Ether. Period. And the reason even 98 is a stretch for DMX is bc 1- It was the Hard knock life tour in 98, NOT the ‘Dark and Hell is Hot’ tour. And 2,….

I don't want Jay to be DMX son. But guess what. Regardless of what numbers u post. DMX was who nikkas in NY was riding for. How old are u? Where are u from? Jay rode Ruff Ryders wave into 99. And X dropped And Then There Was X in 99. Jay didn't even drop that year until all the way at the end. Which is WHY I said Jay had 00-01. Jay didn't even do better first week numbers than Nas in 99.
