Wednesday - January 9, 2002

While I definitely don’t consider him a hip hop artist
and hardly a rapper, Nelly was the top dog for the
year 2001, finishing number 10 on the overall top 200
chart. Outkast repped it well coming in at 16 for the
year, they were followed by Ja Rule (Rule 3:36) at 27
and Ludicris (Back For The First Time) at 29.

The other rappers rounding out the top 50 were Lil’
Bow Wow at 36 followed by Snoop at 37, D-12 finished
at 39 with Pac close behind at 40. Jay-Z clocked in
twice, at 52 for “The Blueprint” and 58 for “Dynasty.”
Despite being released in May of 2000, Eminem’s
“Marshall Mathers LP” still sold enough units to give
him the 72nd spot. Nice to see Xzibit get his due and
finish an impressive 77th.

Sadly enough, the top “rap” single of the year was
Lil’ Romeo’s “My Baby.” Others worth mentioning are
Outkast at number 3 for “Ms Jackson” and D-12 at
number 9 for “Purple Pills/Hills.”
