Who had a better year? Biggie in 1995 or Jay-Z in 2000

I'm talking in terms of popularity, hits, street joints,.

BIGGIE IN 95

Jay-Z 2000

 

[The G.O.D II]

Biggie. Jay-z wasn’t even the biggest rapper in 2000

 

[FlimFlam]

After living both live in action, biggie easily

Seems like he had like 30 songs out playing wit one album lol

 

[pointproven214]

biggie imo.

 

[Newark88]

For someone was there for both years with these 2, I'll have to give the nod to Big

 

[daboywonder2002]

Not gonna disrespect Hov and act like this is a landslide. It's actually close But, those One more chance remixes and the bonus tracks on that ready to die album put Big over the top. Who Shot ya was huge in the streets. Dreams was huge in the streets. One more chance was huge in the clubs.

 

[OHSNAP!]

Jay had Big Pimpin, Fiesta and I Just Wanna Love Ya. The rest was irrelevant. Biggie easily

BIGGIE IN 95

Jay-Z 2000

in ‘95... i can remember walking into circuit city with a bunch of heads to the music section as you enter it was a huge white broad of the weekly top 10 songs on HOT 97 ( the overall number 1 radio station in the overall number 1 city )
and biggie had 7 joints on there - shyt was incredible
even a street, hood, club classic song like this, really even isn't taking into high consideration






Biggie ‘95 had da greatest year of any rapper

Cube 1990 >>>

Not commercially of course, but in terms of accomplishment.

Biggie... especially considering what he was up against.... meaning hip hop was still on the course of breaking thru in the mainstream. Hip hop was still getting acceptance from the rest of the world and Biggie cut thru

By the 2000’s hip hop was well infused in pop and rock music.

 

[Bigblackted4]

I was gone clarify that junior mafia was 95 yeah it’s Big

 

[C-Styles]

and to top it off 97 would've been even bigger had Biggie lived, he would've done TWICE what he accomplished in 95! Just imagine all the guest appearances he was about to kill on some Wayne 2008 run
