I’m 44. I lived through this. It was a topic of discussion. Big rapped about it in real time.I’m just bringing up to speed on what you weren’t around for

You didn’t know that because you likely weren’t cognizant at the time. It is what it is. You could just acknowledge you were wrong and we could move on, but you’re embarrassed and lashing out.
So we agree it was a topic of discussion when Big was alive. We agree your original post was incorrect.Here’s where it gets good for you
Why is it LL, Rakim, Kane or Run ever acknowledged as the “King Of New York”?
It was a made up title The Source gave BIG due to to his references to the movie of the exact same name. If BIG didn’t fukk with the movie like that the headline never comes to be and this is never a thing
After BIG died it was carried on half heartedly no differently than MJ being the King Of Pop but that was BIG’s moniker more so than anything else

Missed opportunity to distinguish yourself as a legit poster (someone who can admit they are wrong). It’s all love though.Your school’s fault…not mines
And with all of that, Biggie was still considered the King. I’m speaking from someone who was outside in 1996. I was in the streets, I was going to the Tunnel and all the other popping clubs at the time. Yes, Nas had a great successful year. Yes he was top tier in the game at this point. But the perception, in real time, was the BIG was still number 1. You gotta remember too, 95 to 97 was the Bad Boy era. In 96, Bad Boy was the hottest label in NYC. From the clubs and radio, Bad Boy had this shyt locked down. BIG, although not dropping an album that year, Get Money Remix was being played all over Hot 97. Brooklyn’s Finest with Jay was a mixtape hit. The shyt with 112 was ringing off. Even on Lil Kim’s debut, his presence/influence was there. His top adversary in PAC was going at him (Hit ‘Em Up). The underground backpack crowd were throwing shots at him and the Bad Boy sound because it began to take over the landscape of mainstream NY Hip Hop in such a major way. His name was being ran through the rumor mill with Faith messing with his enemy. BIG and Puff were also on the now infamous Vibe magazine cover that had the title “East vs West”. So yea, Nas had a hot year. 96 Nas is my favorite era from him. IWW is in my top 3 favorite Nas albums. But BIG was still considered the King. As I said, I’m speaking as someone of age that was outside during the height of the Bad Boy era here in the tri state (NYC/Jersey) area.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
Bigger and Deffer is the second studio album by American rapper LL Cool J. It was released on May 29, 1987, by Def Jam Recordings and Columbia Records1. The album was a commercial success, going triple platinum and becoming one of the most successful hip-hop albums to that point2. It showcased a young artist who was successfully elevating his game to the next level2.
So nikkas in NYC weren’t bumping I’m Bad, Get Down, My Rhyme Ain’t Done etc?I need love is what made Bigger and Deffer pop nationally which led to the sales.The demand for LL in NYC was nowhere near Eric B. and Rakim. They already had 87 in a chokehold by the time they dropped. nikkas wasn't bumping I need love and I'm bad. They were bumping Eric B is president,my melody, and paid in full.
