Name hit records that saved a bad album cycle

[Controversy]

this dont make sense at all. Vol 3 was gonna be success regardles. thats what lead singles do. Big pimpin was the 2nd single. Things u do never happened because Mariah didn’t have time to do the video. Anything was supposed to be on the OG vol 3. So it was gave to beans well after vol 3 came out. So idk why that song was mentioned

Anything was a bonus track on Vol 3

The Mariah single bricked

Big Pimpin saved the album...but it wasn't a good album

It didn't do half the #s of Vol 2 even tho promotion for the album was crazy during holiday season

These are the facts

anything was not on vol 3 in America. It was officially released as a bonus on Beans debut

vol 3 sold 3 million in real time vs vol 2 5 million. So that’s more than half

Nikka, I'm from Philly...I'm a foundational Blk American

Anything was a bonus track on Vol 3 & it flopped

Vol 3 sold 2 mil in real time, Vol 2 did 5 mil, Dynasty did 3, and BP did 3

I gave the whole rundown of why Jay repurposed Dynasty from a crew project to solo album...bc Vol 3 was a failure by his standards...he was too busy chasing hits on Vol 3

Back to my OG point, Big Pimpin saved the album. It was released around spring break as the 3rd single (shortly after the brick with Mariah)...Big Pimpin had legs from Feb to June...no more Vol 3 singles 6 months after the album release even tho it had 3 commercial singles & another quasi single

It was a FAILURE by Jigga's standards

How does an album need ”saving” that did more the first week than the previous album with singles that werent nearly as big

Vol 2 had Can I Get A, Hard Knock Life, Money Cash Hoes, Nikka What Nikka Who, It's Alright & Money Ain't A Thang as singles...please stop

Not to mention Vol 2 spent FIVE weeks at #1

So because it wasn’t a successful as Volume 2 that means it needed “saving”?

99% of rappers in history don’t have an album as successful as V2

The album was a smash before Big Pimpin came out

Vol 3 was a disappointment commercially

Jay commercial peak was wayyyy back in 1998

, the copycat single to Hard Knock Life (Anything) also flopped

That song is the only reason Beans first album went gold though

You want that album to be a flop so bad but it wasn’t

Bro telling on himself majorly.

I vividly remember listening to the end of the album with my sister looking for Anything in 99. Only thing on there was the Blue Streak joint. Jigga My nikka too

Dude ain't from the states or wasn't around/alive when it dropped in real time.

I'm from SW Philly and I was in HS in 99

Anything was a bonus on the album and there was a video for it that was released in 99

“Anything” is a Jay-Z single found on Beanie Sigel’s 2000 album The Truth. It was also was included as a bonus track on the European version of Jay-Z’s Vol. 3… Life and Times of S. Carter. Similar to the use of the Annie sample in “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)”, Anything samples “I’d Do Anything” from the British musical Oliver!.

I only looked this up for you...I bought both albums in real time
