Juvenile says his album '400 Degreez' sold more than any of Jay-Z's and Nas's best solo albums and explains how not dropping individual singles helped

[Mac Ten]

i think jay ruined ha personally. imagine if jay had been on back that ass up instead of mannie fresh

i hate all of jays sex raps. hes so ugly he just shouldnt bother.

i usually skip track 9 on reasonable doubt for that reason. i like jay when hes doing hustler raps

no but can you imagine the horrors beyonce must see in the bedroom. that face

Why Jay-Z looking like King Joffe from Coming To America

 

[Mac Ten]

In before some clown from New York points out that Jay Z was on 400 Degreez and that helped his record sells.

Jay messed that song up like he did Go Crazy…

Looking back on it, we probably wouldn’t have heard him on East Coast albums after that either so it worked out. Down Bottom is one of his best features from that era.


I bet Juvenile was eating well off that feature money too.

Wishful thinking but I wished that Juvenile and X made more songs.

Cool. Good for Juvie. He my dog, but he sound like he got an inferiority complex goin on

Jay’s verse felt so copy and paste that it wasn’t funny

 

[Lord Beasley]

I think he's telling the truth considering what labels did for acts like Jay Z. Before streaming, artists exposed the labels buying up a bunch of copies, hell jigga even did it very openly with Samsung.

Vol 2 released the same year sold more


And he’s also capping about the double cd thing. The albums have to be over 100 minutes. And usually the albums were the like 50-100% more expensive. And it’s also only the Riaa certification not the sales.

But that’s not true though

WHATS NOT TRUE

And back that ax up was definitely released as a single.

This is how these people get fukked by their labels. How the hell do you not know that your biggest song was released as a single

Probably asked birdman about his royalties from the song and birdman was like what royalties we never released it

 

[King Poetic]

Probably so

But did you actually get the revenue from that album you supposed to get or slim and got the money

 

[Street Knowledge]

WHATS NOT TRUE

V2 is certified 6 times platinum. It sold more in 1998 too
