Pac dropped 2 albums in less than 12 months

[...and some waffle fries]

nikkas forget that in 96 Pac AEOM sold 5 millions records in two months. Meanwhile Jay Z RD didn't break top 20 first week.

On the real, Jay been fortunate enough to drop his albums when nobody else of note (top selling pop artist) isn't dropping the same week. that's why he has that number 1 billboard record. the nikka slick...he know what he doin

This.

It's a nice record to have on your resume but Jay picks his release dates very carefully. He wanted himself to be considered like today's Beatles and Elvis but really the series of number one albums aren't comparable. The Beatles and Elvis were the biggest artists on the planet during their stretch whereas Jay-Z was just someone with a loyal fanbase but not the world's most popular or best-selling artist for most of his run. It's not as dominant a stretch as the record makes it seem. Eminem was way more dominant for example..
Also the record for most records sold says a lot more about popularity since you can in theory have 11 number 1 records with only like a million and a half records sold (or 11 records for that matter). You can't sell over 100 million records though without being one of the biggest artists out..

You can't deny 2Pac's greatness. He dropped two classic albums within a year. Add to that "Me Against The World," and that's three straight classic albums. I don't think anyone had ever done that in Hip-Hop before, and it hasn't happened since..

That's BS, he's dropped on the same day as top acts like Outkast, Mariah, Daughtry, Chris Brown (when he was hot), Nickelback (when they had a #1 hit), and even G-Unit when they were at their peak.

Also don't forget that except for AG Jay announces his dates months in advance and to this day has never pushed an album back, so anyone that wants to compete is more then welcome. My guess is they avoid his dates like Hollywood avoids dropping blockbuster movies on the same Friday, who wants to deal with the competition?

 

[spliz]

X dropped 2 crazy albums in the same year...and both TOPPED BILLBOARD FIRST WEEK OUT. Now, THAT'S impressive

Yup..X got an award for being the first one to achieve that shyt...and he was doin movies a well...

Pac did it first in 96, both his albums debuted at #1. Jay did it as well in 2000, Vol 3 charted at #1 in the first week of the millenium and Dynasty did it 10 months later.

 

[Still Benefited]

0lies dropped Real Testament and Definion Of Real same year too....and I guess we not gon talk about E-40s run of droppin multiple albums same day...he dropped one too many this time around but to be in the game as long as he has and still be puttin out the ammount of quality work is crazy.
