I cant choose, they all did some phenomenal things props to those guys.
Snoop, DMX, Eminem and 50 Cent all had a huge buzz.
But I remember the summer when LL Cool J's Bigger and Deffer dropped. It was the summer of 1987. Trust me, the hype was just like Get Rich or Die Trying. The album ended up selling 2X Platinum.
Also, the threadstarter forgot about 2002. Nas had 2002 on lock. Stillmatic came out in December 01 and we bumped it all the way into the summer. Then Lost tapes came out in the fall and God's Son came out in December. All 3 albums went platinum and he won what was arguably Hip Hop's biggest beef.

Came here to say this. Not to mention all these things were absolute monsters critically and commercially. No one mentioned had a #1 album, a #1 movie, a #1 soundtrack to that movie, and two signees go platinum all in a 365 day period.
BTW, I hate his guts, but SMH @ no mention of Ja Rule from 01-02. That nigga was EVERYWHERE.

I think people riding 50 2003 year a lil too damn hard...
Don't care what nobody say, If carter 3 and get rich were released in the SAME YEAR, lets say, on the same damn day.... I think the sales would've been damn near even...
Wayne's buzz on carter 3 was i-n-s-a-n-e...
And on top of that, he had 25++ songs playing on the radio all year long that he was featured on..
I'm going Wayne for the curtesy vote... Didn't think 50 should dominate like this.
Pac's 2006 was crazy too

50 Cent pretty much defined hiphop, he came into the game on some Goliath shit. The reason why the majority voted for him isn't just because of trolling or some stupid bullshit but if we're talking momentum, 50 Cent pretty much had the biggest turnaround in rap history. He went from being shot to getting his shooters murked and releasing an instant classic, a top 5 album DOA.
He shut down careers left and right and he was still a new nigga by then, if you look at these freshmen niggas like J Cole and ASAP, if they were to challenge veterans they would have been run the fuck outta the game. 50 Cent did more than everything, the nigga had the balls to get at everyone. He personified the American Dream and started the best hiphop-group of all time to boot.

The nigga dropped 2 historical hip hop classics and went 10x plat on 1 and 6x plat on the other.
I would agree that's stronger than 50's year.
