LL On Jay's 'Magna Carta' Sales: "I Like To Know That A Million People Went Out & Bought My Album"

[JDSTAYWITIT]

But seriously though.... Who wants a Vanilla ice record? You still have to be a certain caliber artist. Same thing he did with that 360 LiveNation deal. No other rapper has received a deal like that from my knowledge.

give it time. if this works well then watch out...

liner notes gon have coupons for big macs and chalupas...

Lol if I can get a free lunch when I buy an album??? Shit I'm going to buy everything when it drops.

interesting...

So you are telling me if your favorite artist worked out a deal like this, where you received more than just the album, no matter what it is. You would not be more inclined to purchase rather than download for free? Maybe it's just me but I buy albums almost every week, no matter the genre. So throwing in extras would be awesome.

i dont think d'angelo or mystikal are going to be dropping an album in the foreseeable future so i can't give you an honest answer....

D'angelo dropping In the fall .... Per @?questlove

Yea he would sell a mill anyway but Jay couldn't sell that in one week the real way in his wildest dreams.

 

[texasdaking88]

So when Jay sells a million copies within the next 2 months.... And he is double plat, will all of this shit stop lol? I don't remember anyone hating on GaGa when she offered her last album for .99 cent and sold 1.2 million first week. Jay is doing 1.5 million first week off the deal and actual sales. I copped the album first day, that shit was 16.99. Most albums are 9.99-11.99 first week. Talking just numbers, he sold damn near 15,000,000 worth of albums factoring in the 5.000.000 from Samsung.

Besides that it is my favorite album from him since Blueprint 1.

Finally, who cares if he is 40. If he is growing up with his fans who remember Reasonable Doubt coming out, I'm pretty sure they will still support if they like the product.

All this coming from a guy who wish it had been Nas receiving all those beats.

mother fucker what i look like keeping up with a gotdamn lady gaga?

this hip hop.

got dammit i knew that lil nigga with the shawn kemp in 96 cut fucked up letting her on a song...

I'm pretty sure it was reported on here, or thisis50.... Not knockin you or anything, but having a general knowledge of pop culture and what is mainstream will allow you to further judge mainstream hiphop artists.... I mean you have Maroon 5/Wiz, Taylor Swift/B.o.B., Gaga/Wale and Kendrick.... Plus countless other combos. Hiphop is kinda fuckin with everything, shit who else remembers when Redman got himself on a Christina song??? I think shit like that is epic, and keeps hiphop "cool" and acceptable in the mainstream.

It was cuz niggas was givin akon props for signing her.. niggas is hypocrites on her

And majority of those Samsung users wouldn't have bought the album if they had to pay for it. It's like gettin someone to download a mixtape.

Jay got his money and his numbers. We all know what it is. But it's an asterisk. The impact of the album isn't reflected by numbers like The Massacre and Carter 3.

 

[bgoat]

I'm a Samsung user and didn't download the app or the album. Will go pick it up one day this week.

[D.D.S.]

man GTFOH ll. he still prolly mad about that shit that happened with him and jay back at def jam. jay was gonna sell a mil regardless so who cares. ll ain't been plat since his 10 album.

 

[Returnofthemac1990]

535,000..... Numbers are in. Last album to do better was c4 I believe. Samsung, no Samsung, Jay won with this album.

 

[aladdin1978]

Don't these two have a history of beef anyway? Of course LL is in his feelings about JayZ sales.

I can't figure out why people keep saying Jay "put the corporations ahead of the fans"

....by giving them the album for free?

People are always gonna find some ridiculous thing to complain about when it comes to Jay-Z.

Also, first week numbers came in a 528k according to AHH. He's going platinum without Samsung anyway so cut it out with the "cheater" talk.

Nigguhs would complain about free money. Can't please muffugguhs for shit.

 

[soul rattler]

Platinum on release day and Gold in a week. What did he say on the Diamonds' Remix?

"Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week"

 

[Already Home_17]

jay brings out so much emotion in his fans and critics

some fans are waving their pom poms due to jays business deal with Samsung

some critics are on some "but,but....but jay cheated!!!!" shit

 

[tompetrez3]

How in the fuck is the new rules gonna benefit anyone else besides Jay Z? Instead of #newrules hashtag you might as well put #consumersheep. Theodis is correct all this praise and big upping of the publicity stunt Jay Z pulled on you dumb ass Jigga warriors is exploitation plus a breach to your privacy. Y'all don't give a fuck you niggas just follow. Same niggas in the GNS like texashermaphodite88 and usuncl3tom was the main ones woofing about y'all don't want Obama spying on yall, personal liberties and other wanna be high self esteem sambo shit but in here and the McHG thread y'all dick riding and praising a nigga who got access to all y'all flaccid dick pics, gay porn caches and thirsty texts to IC females. Besides catching a homosexual sensation of excitement what do you bitch ass Jigga warriors get by Jay Z "winning"?
