Over the last 10 years nas has not dropped an album that broke a million in sales. This includes a double album. And his total sales are around 2.3 mil.

Jay's total sales are around 8.3. Big difference. Consisting of 5 platinum or platinum+ projects.

Act like record sales haven't been down across the board for all artists and that platinum albums aren't damn-near impossible to make.

Act like Jay-z didn't benefit from his mainstream (read: white people) popularity, fueled by his marriage to Beyonce.

Act like Jay-z last album didn't go platinum solely because of the Samsung deal.

Wouldnt be suprised if its to keep the young look... My Popz used to point out how the Hot Boys had like 2 promo pics for 5 years... nikkas would rock the same joints lol... Had Juvey lyin bout his age (grown ass man named Juvenile, hindsight
Got me :dead:) Wayne lied bout his age (only by like 3-4 years) and when he got arrested in Fulton ppl questioned it cuz it had his real bday... But I guess he got tht shyt expunged cuz u cant find it no more.
Yeah they all lied about their ages before the internet was big. The video below was filmed in 1999....Baby says he's 24(he was 30), he says Juvenile was 18(he was really 24), he says BG was 17(he was 19). Then he makes a mistake and says Wayne's real age at the time which was 16 going on 17 and then Wayne comes in 30 seconds later and says hes 14 going on 15 lol....just blatant lies lol. Wayne possibly may have been born in 1979 which would have made him 19 going on 20 in this video, some sources say 1979 after his arrest in fulton county but even with the 1982 birthdate they were still lying by two years.

Birdman was born in 1969
Juvenile was born in 1975
BG was born in 1980
Lil Wayne was born in 1982(when he was arrested in Fulton county it said 1979 tho)

The Lies Begin at 3:35

The bolded means nothing because i'm judging both under the exact same standards. In that exact time frame,jay did more than triple nas in sales. #facts. You're trying to match opinion against my facts. Act like
Jay didnt give nas a record deal under the same machine he was under. Act like jay's biggest selling album wasnt years before beyonce was with him. Act like jay hasnt been bigger than nas since 98'. Act like nas didnt win a battle against jay,then pushed right back behind jay in a year or so afterwards. Act like jay hasnt revived nasir's career twice. Once by battling him. Then by giving him a deal after he dropped a double album that failed to do a milli, back when albums were still selling millions left and right.

Jay & Kanye aren't really friends. Jay coat-tailed and spring boarded off Kanye for a good number of years. Now Kanye's commercially simmering down and looking more like a touring act than a recording commercial act Jay has distanced himself from Ye and they probably low-key have problems. But Kanye seems to have a good team of his own so his money is straight. Any problems Kanye has with Jay will be personal and that's it. Kanye seems to do whatever he wants at Def Jam.

Weezy doesn't have good people around him. So if he went the Jay route those years ago he would be beefing Jay too.
:rudy: Cut it out . Of course Jay and Ye are still friends. If that wasnt the case Kanye wouldnt be managed by the Roc and he wouldnt have signed DONDA over to RocNation earlier this year
Announced today, Kanye West's creative house DONDA enters into partnership with Roc Nation to manage all DONDA Music.

The partnership will focus on Mr. West's international recording brand and worldwide touring ventures.

A multi-discipline design and content company, DONDA saw its early beginnings seeded by the 2009 footwear collaboration with fashion house Louis Vuitton. That collaboration spurred demand for Mr. West's design sensibilities with fashion and apparel brands around the globe, including Nike and Adidas. DONDA continues its influence in the world of apparel: two versions of the Nike AIR YEEZY - each of which has sold out worldwide in just minutes - two celebrated capsule lines with Parisian brand A.P.C. - also instantly sold-out - and the highly-anticipated new line with Adidas, slated to debut this fall.

Mr. West officially branded DONDA in 2011 with the groundbreaking packaging and tour design for Watch The Throne. The following year, DONDA conceptualized and introduced an immersive new way to experience cinema: the 7-Screen Surround Vision experience in Cannes, France. The short film Cruel Summer, a visual companion to the G.O.O.D. Music album of the same name, employed the new techniques in both filming and viewing. In 2013, DONDA oversaw the concept and design for Mr. West’s minimalist YEEZUS album packaging and groundbreaking global launch, including a guerilla-marketing campaign, the “New Slaves” projections. DONDA is at the center of concept, design and production of Mr. West’s lauded concert experience, the YEEZUS TOUR. DONDA has designed and produced album packaging, staging, music videos and content for Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Pusha T and more.

Founded in 2008, Roc Nation is a full-service entertainment company, inclusive of artist, songwriter, producer and engineer management; music publishing; touring & merchandising; film & television; new business ventures; and a music label. It is home to a diverse roster comprised of critically acclaimed recording artists, writers and producers including Rihanna, Shakira, Rita Ora, J. Cole, Timbaland, etc. Roc Nation has a partnership with global management company, Three Six Zero. Over the past several years, Roc Nation has been responsible a state-of-the-art recording and distribution deal with the Universal Music Group for JAY Z, Rihanna, and others; Rihanna’s rise as a huge global touring brand; and the launch of the Roc Nation Sports agency, which in its first year has built a roster of such all-star talent as Robinson Cano, Kevin Durant, Victor Cruz and more.

And Ye wouldn't let his artist big Sean sign with jay either

Lol,LL was cemented by the time nas got started
NOBODY was calling LL the greatest before he said it. He isn't even in most top 5 discussions now or 10 years ago. He had an impact but 90's rappers own the mount Rushmore of rap. Big, PAC, Jay, Nas in no order

We don't have to wait 10 years... Illmatic is the bench mark for rap album perfection that won't change
