This here.

Last thing on dude's mind, is album certifications, these days. He's way beyond the point in his career, where he even has to bother with music anymore. Dude is making millions in his sleep now. He ain't worried about no song sh*t, lol. Which is why so many losers hate him. He's surpassed the level of needing to rely on success in music.
This is a accomplishment tho

jay Celebrates all his achievements lol

the man lives for that lol

It's an accomplishment, if it's something you care about.

Back in 2017, he literally said in Forbes, "I don’t care about music sales and perception anymore. If I'm making music today, it's for me, and just for the love. I stopped caring about those other things a long time ago". That dude has transcended being a rapper. He's outgrown the average concerns of artists. His focus is on other sh*t.

That was supposed to symbolize diamonds as in jewelry. Opulence and wealth. Not records sales, lol.

He was doing that sh*t like 23-24 years ago, when he was barely double platinum. Nobody was selling no 10 million albums back then in Hip Hop, like that, unless you were dropping double CD's, on some pop sh*t or if you were MC Hammer. LOL!!

The whiteboy is.

And I think the line that separates Jay Z stans from Jay Z fans is being honest about the reason why Watch the Throne was successful.

Right.

Can we be honest about how jay was carried through the 2000’s and early 2010’s by you know who or naw? :francis:

Jay the first French Montana, leaned heavy on collabs his whole career.
That Would be a debate if jay z blueprint 3 didn’t outsell and have bigger singles that had nothing to do with Kanye then my beautiful dark twisted fantasy. Empire State, on to the next one, forever young ect.

Album is great because if both them.

Also 4:44 >>> any ye project post mbdtf
