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

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.
