lololol at this, he'll be the only white rapper to do that though.

right time, right era, right support, right everything.....

if v ice hadnt been exposed to be a fraud (he was born in the wrong era) he'd have outsold everyone for a long time to come

yeah v ice set him self up for failure he got too caught up in his gimmick but he still got a lot of money off that ICe Ice Baby.

 

[qawshun]

when wayne was 29 he had countless plats under his belt and broke records.....

when jay was 29 he was still yet to drop the BP (he was still on vol 2)...Jay was 31 when he dropped his best album

Weezy got many years to go and many plats to get....

don't forget he went 5x plat with that

 

[Who Cares???]

black rappers...

eminem is like a snes cheat code

There isn't a seperate catergory for black and white rappers in RIAA or any other place that calculates albums sales. Dont be a hypocrite and put emphasis on sales when it feeds your agenda then spin it when it doesnt. Shit is beyond corny.

also got caught stealing rhymes for his biggest hit record, thus suge hanged him off a building

he'd have got away with it in this era though

he lied to kick it, the radio aired him out, he became a hero to a zero overnight

[Jay107]

Iuno no bout 50 million fam.... Hov sold about 27 million albums in 16 years....

i think that 27 Million is in the US alone.. Worldwide is something like 50+million

 

[_Menace_]

Has wayne ever gone Diamond?

 

[bless the child]

no but not too many rappers have.

nobody has more #1 albums tho.....

If you drop an album during a week where no other big artist is dropping then...Jay probably has the most consistent fan base though. He moves around 400K with pretty much every album. He'll move more of course if there is something that appeals to the casual fan.

 

[L3NU]

em 50 and wayne are the only rappers to go plat their first week i think

 

[L.P. Royal Flush]

When he lacks Substance, Content , Emotion, Melody, Hook's etc

What makes Jay so good when so many others just Rap about exactly what he does Coke, Money, Car's?

And you lack knowledge for saying that

C'mon son, now we nitpicking on release dates? Who cares when he drops? Not like he made it a competition with someone else a la 50 vs Kanye

 

[DarthRozay]

LMAO not the only song she's mentioned on though

 

[real_hh_rep]

My personal top 3 Jay albums. I like it even more than Blueprint. Definitely one of his best albums.
