It was on Vol 2 as a bonus track after first dropping on JDs album. Jay has a million songs buzzing the entirety of 98.

2003? Nah..you know better than that. Eminem sold 1.7 million first week in 2002.

This is top 5 most delusional thing you’ve ever said
I’m pretty sure 2001 dropped in 2001. I distinctly remember waking up from a coma that year.classic self-exposal in the bolded.
dudes just be googling sales figures in here.
Yes..98 is when he blew up after Hard Knock Life but DMX dropped those albums that were going strong and Mase went into 98 hot as fukk.
That little lyrical sparring match between Ma$e and Jay went on, and Hov was killing them features and "Streets are Watching" before "Hard Knock Life" dropped. He was prepping to take over for the long haul, while X dropped 3 albums in a 19 month period and sold over 15 million in just 2 years. Hov played chess, while everyone else was on that checkers nonsense.

Jay from 00-Black Album was def perceived as the top rapper. Even when other people had bigger years, it was like when someone else wins the MVP but everyone still knows Bron is the best.

1998
Mase was everywhere..never even heard of DMX until Harlem World the year before.
Juvenile was blowing up after Ha..he stretched that single out until near mid 99.
Jay Z did the Rush Hour song with Ja Rule and Amil and Hard Knock Life. Much like Britney Spears, from 98 to 2003, Jay Z had singles come out almost every two months..
Jay was never the absolute biggest rapper. There’s nothing wrong w that tho. He was always in the top 5. Will Smith (y’all can hate or say it doesn’t count but the album was a monster ), Lauryn Hill, and DMX were bigger in 98. After that was Aftermath
