What Happened To Murder Inc? The Rap Supergroup That Never Was

[@ChrisJProductionz]

Im sorry but DMX was bigger than Jay-Z back in ‘98-2000

[@rhyno8644]

Noo he really wasn't. DMX had that first album that rocked Black spring break and the whole summer. I give you that. DMX wasn't rappin about money in that era. Jay already had a catalog from hell and #1 collaborations everywhere. He was featured on all the underground Clue albums. The Warlox weren't signed to Bad Boys long. It was significant because Y.O (Yonkers) was finally getting the credit it deserved.

[@mkhanman12345]

Dmx was bigger. Dmx was huge

[@orlanzo2621]

Exactly. His first 3 albums all debuted at number 1. First rapper to do that.

[@HottaFyah94]

Realm Opposite the Merkiba X albums paid def jam bills. Hov just outlasted X. But 98 - 2000 definitely was X. Ruff Ryders had the edge on rocafella

[@metroeboogiesonson5160]

Exactly!!! I spoke the same shyt saying that DMX was better, back in the day and niggas claimed I was bugging.

[@missjackson9680]

R.I.P DMX. You will be missed

[@letsbehonestnow5986]

Everyone wants to know who was bigger let's look at this from all angles. Jay-Z had the radio. X had the streets. Dmx's first 3 album's were classics all reaching number one and selling around 14 million. Jay-z like Nas had a classic first album that only connected on the streets and went gold. 2nd album went plat and hard knock life went 5x plat. They both toured on the hard knock life tour. The Ruff Ryder's comp went Plat. DJ Clue's album went plat. X recorded hits with Aaliyah and not many people outside of the RR camp. Jay did hit records with Beyonce, Mariah, Mya, Missy Jermaine Dupri and R.Kelly with whom he did an album with. X started doing movie's Jay focused on fashion with Rocafella and later had a shoe deal with Reebok. Dmx released a book on his life which was dope. Jay-Z brought out Michael Jackson at hot 97's summer jam where he declared war with Nas and Prodigy. They both ran the late 90's early 00's but it's neck and neck in my opinion.

Gotta admit Ja was hot in the late 90, early 2000s. He was on fire after being featured on Jay's Can I Get A. The Murderers Group would've been fire with Jay, X, and Ja. I bought Ja's 1st 3 albums and the 2 Murderers albums (w. Vita, Black Tah, Charlie Baltimore, Ashanti, Lloyd). Murder Inc had the game on lock, top budget videos, a lot of Radio Friendly songs...but 50 and the Feds came...and the rest is history.

[@darrenraphael]

Jay Z was the only smart artist, he went into retirement because he did not want to compete with 50 cent. he said 50 cent was like a tsunami, 50 cent started rapping right behind Jay Z in 1997 with Jam master Jay. Jay Z knew him from that time.

Game come into play and does the lox treatment on 50 by overwhelming them with diss after diss. G unit couldn't keep up. Game was already on the rise and built up some stardom and sparked the west coast scene back up had the mainstream and west coast streets playing him. 50 loses credibility with the west coast and big part of the mainstream. 50 and G unit is on life support at this point Curtis doesn't do no where near as well as massacre which was a mediocre album, before I self destruct before 2019 hadn't gone platinum yet. Animal ambition didn't go gold. Lloyd banks rotten apple barely went gold with 600k album sales and hunger for more 2 only sold 87k which ultimately leads to banks getting dropped by interscope. Yoyo hasn't done shit and buck had his fallout with 50 and before and after 50 would never let buck shine. 50 tries to resurrect g unit by trying to make them a super group signing made, mobb deep and M.O.P does nothing with them
