Who was the biggest out of those 3 in those respective years. Impact, visibility, how big the respected album they dropped was, how often you saw them etc

    50 Cent all day if we are going off of who I liked the most at thier peak

    his first album was street certified that ? was like theme music to a ?

    Em and Wayne don't make you feel like that

    50 aint doing ? right now because he chooses not too

    IMO

    People will just quote sales #'s.

    In my surroundings, 50 cent caused the biggest craze I'd ever seen. Everybody except me bought into all that sh*t he was selling and you couldn't go anywhere w/o hearing every car playing GRODT. My friend drove like 20 minutes out of the city to find a store that still had the CD...and this was in Denver, CO of all places.

    50 definately..he did some amazing things from 03-05...its a shame what his career is now..but to whoever said 50 aint doing ? because he dont want to is sooo far off...50 couldnt get people to like him if his life depended on it..he just alienated himself too much

    Em in 2000, then 50, then Wayne. Em and 50 albums had legs, they went to sell 8 plus mil copies, The Carter 3 sold a mil in the first week and topped off at 3.5 in total, that album didn't have legs like that.

    Eminem definitely. The main reason 50 blew up so huge was because of Eminem. Also had the number 1 movie in that period.

    To wayne's credit. his album was moving units at a time when record sales were, and still are, sharply declining not just in hip hop, but in all of music period

    And Dre. Lets not forget how he laced 50 wit "In Da Club" which was easily the biggest hit outta all these cats.

    Lol...Lil' Wayne wasn't bigger as 50 Cent and Eminem....and he wasn't even bigger as Kayne West.

    I am going to say Eminem.

    em and 50 owe their success to Dr. Dre you take that Dr. Dre cosign and tight beats out the equation and neither would be as big as they are now.....Wayne blew up even when Mannie Fresh left all on his own who does he have to credit his success to.....

    First, stop with the "Wanye' album came out when sales were dipping. Em dropped this year and is already on pace to outsell Carter 3. Em is also far from his "prime". No matter how you put it, 50 did 8 mil of GRODT and Em went diamond off MMLP. Wayne shouldn't even be in this discussion. Lets not forget that 50 also dropped G-Unit clothing and sneakers in 03. Both saw early success. The obvious answer is 50. Em did his thing in 00 as well though..
