“Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns”. Wasn’t this BIG acknowledging Nas had the crown for a time?
And as much as I hate to say it Puff’s non rapping ass was everywhere in 97. Even before BIG passed he had Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down out

Outsider but I would give 96 to Big too.. The Pac beef and anticipation for his next album was too much not to say.. Big and Pac were just on another level in terms of popularity
I wanna give Big 97 too but I kinda understand Diddy taking over.. No Way Out was fukking everywhere..
It's hard to argue against X for those two years.. Jay was right there with him but X

I’m guessing skill doesn’t factor in at all given the Diddy pick?
@Don Jesus can you confirm?

I highly doubt the general consensus was Diddy was KONY in 97 when Biggie just dropped LAD in the beginning of the fukking year.
Stop the foolishness.

Nas was number 1 on billboard 200 four weeks. No one did that in NY. The level of rapping was off the charts. Biggie didn't respond to pac while nas and qb where the only one from NY to confront death row, so no

So break it down to me
First off all of this shyt is hindsight 20/20.
Nobody was talking this King stuff for any of these guys within the moment. At the same time you also acknowledged who was that nikka at the time
There was no doubt nobody was bigger than Puffy in that ring leader type of way that year

It seems like the only criteria they're using here is popularity....
Would be easier if it was explained what aspects they're using for these placements for debate reasons.

Big died on March 9th. Soon after that 'I'll Be Missing You' came out and we basically entered the Shiny Suit Era. Even Mo Money Mo Problems which was on LAD felt like an extension of Puff. He was everywhere. You could even see his influence on Jay-z (sunshine video).
