You are one dumb ass nicca. Why wasnt the name of the tour the Its Dark and Hell Is Hot Tour? Featuring Rocafella red n meth etc?
What year did it start? Spring of 1999. You in your own words wanted to keep it 98 and Jay wasn't fukking with X in 98 sales wise, impact, or musically.
As for the tour. The Tour was done to give JayZ's more momentum going into 1999. DMX had 2 homeruns with his albums in 1998 so they wanted to give Jay more light by naming the tour after him. They couldn't go with DMX headlining because his performances were memorable and raw to the point where it would make Jay look like a smalltime nikka because Jay at the times stage presence was weak and him going before DMX wouldn't look good. It was a partnership to give Jay the rub and X went ahead and started headlining with the Ruff Ryders /Cash Money tour shortly thereafter.
It made good business sense and nobody denied Jay did his thing in 1998. Just not bigger than X and records indicate that so keep reaching lil nikka
