Why does Jay-Z have 12 platinum albums, and 50/nelly/DMX can only sell albums to close friends?

The explanation is simple.

Jay is more talented than the others.

Classic hate speech from artbarr says jay just bought his albums. Clearly dude has a massive fan base and doesn't need to buy his own shyt.

He had samsung publicly buy his shyt, but never the label

So DMX was only hot from 98-02?

 

[Balan]

MY POINT IS a$$hole HIS EARLIER STUFF WAS BETTER THAN THE GARBAGE HES PUTTING OUT NOW!

But why you posting in caps for?

 

[Art Barr]

I wouldn't be the least bit affected if you never posted again in your life.

says the poster, nobody even gives a fukk if you post or not.

jay also ducks a real fight like when 50 came or he will make sure you don't come out like dmx said in numerous interviews. if you let him, he will join you when you are hot to help his career stay relevant.


beyonce's, questionable and materialistic based relationship, with him has also helped a whole bunch in terms of staying popular.

Hes only dropping music when hes about to drop an album. You dont hear from him otherwise, no antics, no interviews etc. Hes not like say your lil wayne/50 cent who is everywhere at all the same time.

If Drake keeps up this sheer level of volume he too will oversaturate.

These games things move faster so its important to keep putting music out atleast occasionally. If your not making songs your doing features.

Lord Camel is a better artist than those guys.It's that simple.Hate all you want dude knows how to stay relavent.He's not as good as he once was but when he wants to he could still bring it on the mic.
