moving mystical up is a good idea,
its not about longevity. its about a year.
fab was on the list initially. had his video posted & all.
plies didn't have more hits than chingy, at least not in one year. and chingy's hits were twice as big as plies chit. plies was the hottest in what streets?
'99 is when busta started getting annoying. and yea, all the hype & promo for this album and it only went platinum in the midst of the sales boom. that doesn't sound like a megastar to me breh. and to try to put him over meek is crazy.
in the eastern side of the south Plies was that nikka,i dont know how far it spanded out west in the south....but he had nikkas like Lil Wayne who was the biggest rapper at the time telling him he was the hardest nikka out,nikka got cosigns from Scarface,T.I saying he was up next,Nas even said he was feeling em....a classic album dont take precedent over Chingys shyt
?even nikkas who aint like Plies kinda had to fall back after that album dropped,plus he had street classic hits off that Real Testament,100 Years wasnt highly talked about and respected?Goons Lurkin wasnt getting no play,Shawty wasnt a song women love and had nikkas in they feelings on the low
?Plus that I'm So Hood feature you need to acknowledge how that introduced him to the world,every nikka in every hood accross the nation knew that verse word for word and fukked wit Plies after that
but its cool im not arguing for Plies on this one
and you said competetion level would play a part,Meek was up against alooooota nikkas who you yourself have at damn near 30,and they at 30 in years that wasnt even 2012 which you claim is Meeks peek year...and its arguable if he was above Future in 2012,definitley wasnt above Drake in 2012,and i know for a fact you hate Kendrick and everything he stood for in 2012,so lets see if you will put his 2012 in this list
? so in a era thats not as competetive Meek was behind a awful lot of nikkas that year,im just naming a few.
and you have the audacity to question Bustas 99
?look at how many nikkas 99's you got high up on this list,and that doesnt even cover nikkas who only aint here because they probaly had hotter 98's,but was still hot as shyt in 1999
you can call Busta warm in 99,but Meek was as warm as Busta was if you grade on a curve...but even on that curve,a warm 99>>>warm 2012
Props on moving up Hammer,in the system we trust
