Wow these new age of kids are delirious trying to re-write history. Lmao Pac was never poppin??? These kids lol man Pac did like what 6 movies before he died. Juice,Gridlock'd, Poetic Justice, Above The Rim, Bullet and lastly Gang Related. Also Baby Boy was suppose to be his movie since John Singleton had him in mind as the actor while he wrote the script. Pac wasn't just a rapper in his time.

Right! Three of those movies were out before 1995 and most rap fans still didn't really care about his music. Everybody know 2Pac was more famous for Bishop than his actual music skills, which led him to take on the Bishop role for the remainder of his career. By 1996 2Pac had 4 albums out. In 1996 he released his 5 before he died and preparing to release 6 and 7.. So if he was the highest selling rapper of all-time at that time it was off of sheer volumes of albums, not his popularity as a rapper.

How old are you?

Pac def dominated. Biggie and Pac were by far the two biggest stars at the time before they died. No one was even close. You couldn't go anywhere with out hearing about either of them.

Didn't Nas outsell Biggie with It Was Written?

Yes, as did a bunch of other nikkas.

Yeah, I wasn't even counting the Bone Thugs, Snoops, maybe even Crucial Conflict....I tried to limit it specifically to NYC, because I can't fathom how someone can be King of NY, and get outsold by a fellow NYer.

The nikka co-starred in a movie with Janet Jackson my nikka. Janet while she was in her prime my nikka. In only his second film my nikka. Dude was an Icon before they let him outta prison. The nikka had Madonna telling the guards she was coming to visit him in jail my nikka. The nikka was getting letters in the pen from Tony Danza my nikka. The nikka was on the top of Dan Quayle's hit list my nikka. The nikka was gracing the cover of the New York Times before he shot my nikka. If 50 died 7 months after GRODT dropped how can a nikka say he wasn't popping when he was alive when his shyt was breaking records? AEOM was the highest selling rap album after Hammer shyt when Pac was alive.

I don't know if you can call Pac "dominant". Yes, he had some powerful singles but his popularity was moreso because of his brushes with the law and the media comparing that to his music. Dear Mama was the song that really made him endearing to everyone. But I would say his dominance was for a few months in '96. 2Pacalypse Now, Strictly 4 My N!GGAZ and Thug Life Vol. 1 all had as much fanfare as every other album.

Dominance was Wu

Who cares? What exactly was he dominating, not the charts. Do I care that Madonna and Micky Rourke was his fans? Madonna is hot for ****** dikk. Wasn't BDK or somebody in her book or some shyt. She was fukking with Dennis Rodman did he have the NBA on smash? Q-Tip was kissing Janet Jackson in said movie, he was the shyt too?
