Who Is The "Artist Of The 90s Decade"

[5 Grand]

Somebody mentioned that 2Pac was the artist of the 90s. That's one answer.

Who else?

Michael Jackson
Madonna
Whitney Houston
Puff Daddy
Notorious BIG
Wu Tang Clan


I was watching Gridlocked last week. If you take away all the movies and acting and just judged Pac on his music, you could make the argument that Pac was the "artist of the 90s decade"

However,

Spoiler

"Will Smith sold waaaay more at the box office than 2Pac. 2Pac may have made better music, but Will Smith made better movies and that's indisputable."

Might be Garth Brooks if we factor everything in.

 

[Ibex]

Mariah Carey and it’s not even close

 

[Sony Montana]

Niggas making will Smith threads

[Goldie]

[Chi-Town B]

Counting everything it's between Tupac and Mariah Carey

 

[Achewon87]

Might be Garth Brooks if we factor everything in.

“I’m trying to sell records like Garth Brooks”

OG Phil Collins holdin crown for the 80s

 

[Mister]

Like it or not, R Kelly has to be part of the discussion. Besides having sex with a bunch of little girls, he also wrote, produced and dropped a bunch of fire in the 90s.

Whitney or Mariah...

There was a point in time that Will Smith starred in the #1 and #2 biggest selling movies of all time, Independence Day and Men In Black. Since then, movies like Star Wars, Batman and Harry Potter have outsold Independence Day and Men In Black, but back in 1997 Will Smith had the #1 and # 2 movies of all time.






And these movies were out when Pac was still making movies.


Will Smith is an A List Actor while Pac was a B List actor that never really made a blockbuster.

But Will Smith made platinum selling albums.

How many classics Dr Dre play a part of in the 90s?

 

[5th Letter]

If we talking just hip hop and R&B then it might be Whitney or Mariah or maybe Janet.

How many classics Dr Dre play a part of in the 90s?

Cosign.

Dre gets a mention for Niggaz4life, The Chronic, Doggystyle, Chronic 2001, and SSLP


We need to make a poll, but first we have to narrow it down to 10 artists.

[Mr.LV]

It's between Mariah Carey ,Garth Brooks ,Shania Twain or 2pac

Are we talking strictly music?

Because Will Smith sold 9X platinum with Big Willie Style, plus he had a few more platinum albums in the early 90s.

He also had a popular TV show and a few blockbuster movies.

But are we talking strictly music or everything (Producing, TV Shows, movies, record labels, clothing lines, etc.)
