I'd say Eminem took 2002....he was all over the radio and tv.
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.

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.
