"This album is a classic because Sprint bought 1 million records" @GetoBoy lmao

Also there is 0 proof Birdman bought millions of records. And seeing how cheap he is i doubt he bought that many records. There is 100% proof Jay had companies wholsale buy 1 million records for users and didn't charge the users anything. That is fraud.

I don't think it's a shot but just reality of what can happen with your kids.

And a cool play on words

 

[VulcanRaven]

Trying to figure out what all this buzz is about with rappers crying about Jay dissing them? Finally people are actually talking about lyrics. Haven't heard a song off the album, but this will be the first album I buy in years. All these crying ass rappers need to hit the booth and actually start rapping if they got a problem. Jay the GOAT.

So a million is only a million if a million DIFFERENT ppl buy it??? So what weights more a thousand pounds of coins or a thousand pounds of feathers???? Once you get that you'll get how silly you sound

This how backwards niggas sound companies are buying his albums and giving em to customers and you complaining becuz he not making us go out and buy em ourselves??? If the company buys a million and burns em or a million ppl buy em and play em everyday how does that change a million being sold??? Clearly math isn't your thing lol

Drake, Rihanna, Eminem and several others went platinum on streams. No one batted an eye.

Now when Jay goes platinum these Eminem stans wanna question it smh.

Of course it's hit more than a million streams u dumb muthafucka. It's the most talked about album for the past week.

This isn't going plat on streams. They are counting a nigga singing up for Tidal for 4:44 as an actual album purchase. They aren't counting every 10,000 streams (or whatever the threshold is) as 1 unit regarding the sprint purchases. So his combined streaming numbers + the sprint downloads (1 download=1 album sale) is what got him platinum. This is the same cheat code he used for MCHG. Sprint literally bought jay a plaque.

Facts.

Ok, come on, now this is the dickriding I was talking about. You don't see the difference between a million people liking an album enough to go out and buy with their own money and a million people getting an album for free because a company bought them and gave them away. Let me make it clear for you. I just downloaded it using the Spring code. I probably wouldn't have gotten it if I had to pay. How many other people do you believe fall into that category?

On a side note, this is how I'd rate it.

Lyrics - 4.5

Flow - 2

Beats - 4

Subject Matter - 4.5

Overall - 4

It's a good album, but Jay's flow was lazy as hell throughout it. For some songs, it fit, but others like with Legacy, it was just bad. Also, the beats were consistently good, but nothing really stood out to me. I don't feel there were any bangers. A lot of good songs, but nothing stood out to me.

It changes it because a sprint customer doesn't pay any more per month to get a free download of an album. It manipulates the numbers. By that logic every nigga who legally buys a CD and burns a few copies/gives a friend the album on a usb should go toward an artists album count. Same with every illegal download on the internet that should count toward album sales.

The reason album streams have to be at high levels to equal one album unit was created for this purpose. So that someone who passively streams a bunch of albums per month for just 9.99 only contributes so much per sales week toward the album count of an artist.

Also this method of corporations buying 1million albums to get people to go plat only encourages people to release the album through 1 streaming source and have a company still get them to plat for their records. It is cheap and cheating no matter how you add up the numbers.

"New rules" Jay been sayin it since MCHG

That was fucked up too and the rules literally changed because of jays manipulation when MCHG came out. This bullshit opens up pandoras box. I mean shit in shenco's parents wanted to pay verizon to buy a million albums with these new rules he could go plat.

 

[mosincredible]

Why do you care so much Monizzle? Why? There's a million ways people play the numbers. Some artist sell their shit for $6 or $7 instead of $10-12, some have big giveaways/signings, Jay did what he did. If you want to start hunting down exactly how everyone got to platinum, you gonna find out a bunch of shit ain't what you thought it was.
