How Many Black Artists Left that Can Sell Out an NBA Size Arena

[HiphopRelated]

1. That's irrelevant.
2. Who said they had Spanish blood? I didn't, hope you don't think this since you're bringing it up.

Well since Hispanic is ONLY used in reference to the former Spanish colonies

lol..... damn your ignorant, Im in London right now Jay Z has toured the UK every year since the 90s and has always played arenas.... he toured for blueprint 3 with no support act...

the reason why he was the first rapper in the world to headline Glastonberry which is a rock festival is because he is the biggest draw

youre deliberately being perverse because you have lost the argument

So we are calling playing at Cleveland State, Northern Kentucky University, Eastern Michigan, and Fresno State arena tours now breh......ok, oh but you also ignore the fact that these were essentially college concerts meaning college student discount, but whatever, if thats what you consider an arena tour, ok, plenty of artist have done that. Oh, and add to the fact that my earlier post mentioned artist who could sell out arenas (NBA arenas or larger) without having new music, neggah read! And now we are including selling out a historical festival with over 100 acts as Jayz proving me wrong, ok, try again.

EDIT: Oh and we forget that Jay had to cancel the last 3 dates of that tour "Due to unforseen issues", whatever that means (more than likely poor ticket sales)

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

The real question is who can do it whether they have new music out or not, I only see Prince, Beyonce, Usher, Sade, Janet, maybe Mariah, maybe Rihanna, as the people who can do it anywhere at anytime without another solid act attached. No rap acts are on that level (Kanye use to be there).

Jay Z sells out Arenas anywhere breh, anytime,.. so can R.Kelly, and Eminem.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Jayz has sold out halls and amphitheaters (like many artist can) but has never been able to achieve the arena tour level nationally let alone internationally (like Kanye has been able to do). If Jayz could do it, why hasn't he done it now? I think he knows he's not quite there. I think Kanye has lost focus on the music somewhat and his media issues haven't helped, I think he could get back on that level though, just not there right now.

in what world do u live in bruh? Jay Z has been selling out arenas since 1999 now... his Blueprint 3 tour was all arenas and every one of them sold out weeks before the show.

stop trollin

@ people saying Sade can't sellout arenas. She sold out FedEx Forum here in Memphis of all places. I know she would be able to sellout arenas in other cities.

 

[QuintessentialBM]

I'm surprised nobody said Trey Songz... Females still going to see him.

Sade had a show in Brazil that was sold out.

Thanks, I knew the schedule, hence the reason I mentioned the places he played, you left out the last three dates that were cancelled more than likely due to poor sales, I understand you are a stan but lets look at facts

 

[Jone2three45]

Sade or Prince,
Easy.

 

[Big Boss]

[QuintessentialBM]

Not my cup of tea but........ Those white females in the UK and Australia still like him.

You have to be a complete moron to think that Jay z (Biggest rap act in history) can't sell out an Arena

Jay Z is not the biggest rap act in history, Eminem is easily a bigger star than him.

Em has TWO diamond albums, Jay doesn't even have one Em sold damn near two million records first week, Jay hasn't come remotely close to doing that, Lose Yourself is far more popular than any Jay Z song.

I said rap act junior......

In terms of how many tours he's done....how many festivals he's headlined...etc.
