2010-2011 belongs to Drake... dropped the best album of 2010 with Thank Me Later and topped that with the best album of 2011 with Take Care (631,000 first week!!!)
DMX is one of my Top 10 favorite artists... mostly from his work from 1998-2000 when he was at his peak and up to 2003 where he fell off but was still listenable... his time has passed and he will not come back even close to how he was in his first 3 years... he had an incredible run... 5 #1...
DMX is a LEGEND!
He was the biggest rap star from early 1998 to early 2000 (Eminem/Nelly took over as biggest sellers).
It's Dark And Hell Is Hot - 4 million
Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood - 3 million (670,000 first week)
And Then There Was X - 5 million (698,000 first week)
12 million...
T.I. is a legend.
1 arguable classic - Trap Muzik
3 great albums - Urban Legend, King, Paper Trail
2 good albums - I'm Serious, T.I. vs. T.I.P.
1 wack album - No Mercy
He started that "trap" music in Hip Hop that sparked careers for Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Shawty Lo and all the other trap...
i never had a problem with drake til he started actin tough "u dont want me to catch a body like that", " i killed everybody in the game last year", " and if ppl want beef we can make it a thing".. its annoying cause we all know he wont answer disses on wax or get confrontational when he sees...
2pac - yes
Nas - yes
Jay-Z - yes
Biggie - yes
AZ - better MC than Common but all around as an artist, No...
Eminem - yes, although Common's catalogue is much better
Andre 3000 - OutKast as a group but Dre dont got enough solo work to hold up against Com
Ghostface Killah - Great MC but not...
Common is Top 10, Top 15 at the least... His discography is too strong minus Electic Circus and Universal Mind Control... lyrically he one of the nicest ever...
