After his major label debut The Slim Shady LP peaked at #2 last year, this one put him over the top. The biggest rap album of the year is undoubtedly Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP. Jay is also arrested for allegedly stabbing Lance “Un” Rivera for bootlegging this album. Relatively unknown outside of the South, UGK is Jay-Z’s favorite rap group.

With the Ruff Ryders’ movement in full swing and momentum from her guest verse on The Roots’ Grammy-wining single “You Got Me”, Eve’s major debut tops the charts. Amid the turmoil Nas still put together a very good album. The rest ended up on future projects like The Lost Tapes, or didn’t come out at all.

He’s riding high off the power move of signing Snoop. Master P goes back-to-back with #1 albums. “Still A G Thang” is great, the rest of the album not so much. Snoop gets off the sinking ship that is Death Row and onto the safety of the No Limit tank. He also contributes to the soundtrack, which peaks at #5. He stars in “Belly”, music video director Hype Williams’ first (and only) feature film, launching a movie career. According to Irv Gotti, Jay-Z and Damon Dash laugh at him when he suggests signing DMX to a record deal.
