How many rappers had a better run than 98-00 DMX?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Lets be real one of the GOAT peaks sht like 93-95 Hakeem. Not many nikkas can touch that level DMX reached. He was murdering JayZ during that span and was seen as the clear #1 but then DMX fell off, slacked, drugs, movie tip etc. He was better than Pac too at his peak for sure Pac was just more consistent and released a buncha sht. Biggie was better, maybe Nas. Peak DMX was better than Eminem, Common, Mos Def, Kiss, Prodigy, any WuTang member, Cube, Scarface, Masta Ace etc but a couple are arguable

Has zero case over Eminem dropping critically acclaimed albums that were selling more than all the pop stars. 96 Pac was more relevant than DMX ever was and it's not even close. Ready2Die Biggie as well. Infamous is better than anything DMX did and Wu-Tang combined is clearly >>>>. Then you got 50, Wayne, Snoop, etc

[NumberSix]

94-96 Tupac is by a landslide the GOAT peak.

Em only had 2 hot albums. MMLP and SSLP are good peaks better than anything most did but not X

Pac was never as good as DMX at his peak. DMX had his emotion, plus he was a better storyteller, writer and vocally much superior with way more range/diversity

I agree about peak Biggie, the Shaq of Hip Hop. GOAT peak thats the reason hes so high on lists despite only having 2 albums

Infamous was P AND Havoc. Those beats are timeless too..........

Of course im talkin individually not Wu Tang as whole.........Only Built Raekwon up there. Liquid Swords is overrated but still great. Ghost had a nice little run but not GOAT level. None of the other Wu members worth mentioning individually

50, Wayne and Snoop

Puff Daddy.

The dude was dropping hits left and right. Air play and video play. Was everywhere making hits.

On top of that he was producing a lot of stuff for people too and basically anything that came out of Bad Boy Records was his.



Honorable mention:

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

94-96 Tupac is by a landslide the GOAT peak.

Considering Ready to Die and Life After Death were in that time not even close. Biggie shts on Pac at his peak, not even close. Pac had longevity hes like Karl Malone

What does peak even entail? If it's commercial success than the list is really not as subjective as you're making it sound whereas ranking shit based on what you personally enjoy is weird. Lil B has GOAT peak. I ain't explaining shit.

I agree with this and it is all subjective but Diddy in my opinion was pretty good and we can easily loop up the charts and see how big time his tracks were. Diddy backed it up with sales.
