That’s not true lol. Ridin Dirty went gold in November of 98, Reasonable Doubt was gold in 3 months



Those numbers are lying or Def Jam was buying....wait a min, that was Priority. So Jigga was selling 43K or more for 11 straight weeks? How come Vol 1 flopped then?

So the album that sold 43K first week went gold in 3 months but the album that sold 70K first week took 2 years to? 🤔

Cap. This is why nggas need to state their age before they speak on stuff as fans.

And this is why people shouldn't quote me and challenge me on shyt because you are dead wrong. 'Renegade' wasn't a single no. But one thing that you left out that you probably didn't even know.

'Renegade' got A LOT of airplay on radio stations on the east coast and up north. I don't know about the west cause I wasn't out there at the time but some of the biggest radio stations in the world were playing that track despite it not being a "single" and Nas only furthered the narrative.

Scarface went platinum before Jay did though.
Scarface got on in 88. Jay in 96 :beli:

Again, this works both ways. Jay aint gon be the only legend that nggas dismiss just bc he rich. If we wanna get dismissive and technical aight bet…

Face was on for 6 years and dropped 5 total albums before he had a solo platinum album :beli: And it took J. Prince muscle, absutlely zero lyrical competition in his entire region, and a gimmick midget (RIP Bushwick) to sell exactly one million albums.


It took jay 2 years and 2 albums and he sold 5 mill. :unimpressed:

Jay Z was rapping with Jaz O in the 80's in the 80's breh. It took Jay Z nearly 10 years before he actually got on.

Jay did good on renegades...."do you listen to music or just skim through it" was a Jay z quotable for a long time on SOHH in and hip hop in general.

but prime Eminem flow and delivery...too much emotion and voice inflections that made Jay sound monotone even though Jay was trying on the hook to sound angry, lol.


DMX on renegades with Em would have probably been amazing cause they both could convey various emotions with their tones....Jay only good at showing disgust as an emotion on wax. Jay too cool at times...

Cooler because he was the white dude with the lyrical miracle raps? I think Jay’s verses were good. Rapping about being broke which everyone goes thru.


Stop.

Learn your history.

Eminem has arguably that era's best content on being broke for that time.

I thought you were from bk. Are you not supposed to know hiphop history being from NYC and bk.
or are you just flodge'n and forgot. to put on your hiphop cosplay hat today.

Jay had no excuse to let Eminem lap him like he did. As Jay was around in the golden era and the styles war era. Plus notably changed his styles war era style.
to finally make a mark.
after selling out and going jiggy two decades later.
After not one actual hopeful verse or rhyme.
since island sophie to featuring with Kane and big l in two different capacities of emcee'n in posse cuts to live radio and failed.
Plus all his standouts only occurred when jaz and sauce money were around. Or geechi suede vocals were available to styles morph and bite off of.
Yet you nikkaz wanna give a pass to a nikka. That was not prepared.
After two whole decades. Plus the song existed before
Jay re-recorded over royce's similar lack luster verse as well. So you nikkaz giving passes.
for someone who failed to prepare in every possible way. Like one listen to the original song. Plus be prescient to why the other artist was being scrapped. Did Jay do that. Nah. He mailed in a trash verse by amy feature or posse cut standards. Then tried to use oversaturation method marketing and Playlist placement. Using Eminem higher draw to escape critique and reap the bene's.
from collabing with the highest draw in music in every facet for the time. While never showcasing no skill.
on the level of the top draw in that time.

So we giving passes to nikkaz.
who failed to even listen to the song before he recorded it. Then failed to out write any artist.
on any version of rhe re-recorded version.

We giving passes for that

Yeah. Aight.
