Notorious B.I.G dropped Ready To Die in late 1994, and it carried over into '95. He arguably had the song of the year with the One More Chance remix, as well as dropping the Junior Mafia album Conspiracy Theory, which featured Playas Anthem
Wu Tang- after their 1993 debut, they branched off into solo projects with each member signing deals with various different labels which was unheard of at the time. It started with Method Man dropping Tical in late '94 with the hits Bring Da Pain and the monumental You're All That I Need remix with Mary J Blige, then next was Ol ? Bastard with 36 Chambers The ? Version, which featured Brooklyn Zoo and Shimmy Shimmy Ya, then Raekwon with assistance from Ghostface dropped Only Built 4 Cuban Links in the summer of '95 and it featured the hits Criminology and Ice Cream, and the Gza dropped Liquid Swords in the fall of '95 to end the year.
Tupac- while getting locked up for sexual assault charges in early '95, Tupac dropped his 3rd album Me Against The World and it sold well despite him not being able to really promote it while being behind bars. The album featured Dear Mama a masterpiece dedication to his mother. While also still being the talk of the hip hop community with a beef with Notorious Big and later getting out on bail and signing with Deathrow Records.
Coolio- He dropped his second album Gangster's Paradise in late 1995, but he had arguably the biggest song of the year regardless of genre.

TupacTough call but I'm going with Pac
But Coolio? really? No BTNH they dropped E.1999 in '95. -

CoolioYall dont remember how big that song was
-
In 95 the music was still very regional and artists may have had more presence in some regions more others.
That issue along with the fact that most of the posters were born between 90 and 93 will skew this thread.
-
TupacBone should definitely be on this list.

I remember. Gangstas Paradise was HUGE in Boston. But I always considered him commercial. When we discussed ill MCs Coolio's name never came up in the conversation.

Wu TangCuban Linx
Liquid Swords
Return of the 36 Chambers

Notorious B.I.GI can't give a MVP to a whole group.

Notorious B.I.GCan't forget that this came out in 1995
-
Wu TangSolo wise ? BIG got it.
But if we're going based off the poll options, it's clearly Wu. If I wrote down the singles I'll be here all day. They had massive crossover hits.
This ? was #1 on every white and black station

Well if you respect Datpiff.com's authority, they named 95 Live the "Best mixtape ever".
Not to mention Doo ? released 95 Live part 2 later the same year.
Honestly I do think a case could be made that Doo ? was the MVP of 1995. -

They have a lot of Doo ? mix tapes, but more importantly, they made a list of the mix tapes that they don't have, so at least we know what to look for. -
