The Lost Tapes (Best album of the year), "One Mic" video (Best video of the year), God's Son (Top 5 album of the year). Dissed HOT 97 and told rappers to step their game up. Tried to bring hip hop back to the streets for real without a commercial single ie. "Made You Look". Guest appearances were nothing short of amazing.

2003 will probably be 50's year.

yup

Jankiest:
i'd say eminem took 2002, with all the popularity he's got. Not only from people who are into hiphop but also pop ass muthafuckas

i hope shady/aftermath takes 2003 and also that dre drops another classic with detox

Rakim is gonna owe 2003..

see the thing is, eminem could drop the wackest shit ever and it'd still sell, i aint gotta be a genious to know that.......but why i say nas took 2002 was for the same reasons westcoast veteran...........he had gods son.........majuor non commercail, told rappers to step shit up, lost tapes.............and he'll never sell as many units as eminem but he did something which was madly needed to happen in hip hop with someone whos big in the game........taking it back to its roots, n he did that, so he got mad respect off many hip hop heads in that yr........thats why i say in my opinion nas had 2002 on lock........

peace

* "Eminem Show" - Partly commercial or not, a classic or near classic album in hiphop.
* "God Son" - Weak album, not even better than Jay's mediocre BP2. A big step down from Stillmatic.
* "Told rappers to step it up" - What does that help when you step down yourself ?

That's the main points..

However, to Nas's credit:
* Partly "took hiphop back to the roots".. but the album had it's commercial tracks too.. and even how oldschool "Made you look" was, it was still pretty dull.
* Been on a lot of cameos & appearences.. been real active.

Honestly, I think Cormega owned last year by dropping 2002's best album, The True Meaning.
I grant to you that, commercially, 50 Cent is on top of things now, but we all know how the rap game is. Things change fast.
Somehow I guess Scarface will be king this year.
