Salty? I'm sorry but no. I think you're a salty because you seem to have a problem with the truth but that's not my problem. Hov didn't earn that million. Sprint brought that shyt and gave it away basically. They are recouping the cash on the phone bill.

Once someone buys something they're free to do whatever they want. The bottom line is....the album got sold. Period.

That's old news. Jay had a 3 album deal with live nation to be partners in roc nation. In may they signed a new deal for ONLY jays touring

This album is all Indy being that he owns roc nation and no major is behind it. Which is why he can do only tidal and he's talking about no advances and taking real chances

So no. The label is not buying albums cause that would mean jay was paying roc nation to "buy" his own albums, from himself. And they are all on his stream anyway, which is also owns.

Makes no damn sense. Sprint bought those so hov wouldn't have to go through that


Well both of us are speculating so I'm not gonna take your rant to heart because you are nobody. Neither of us know what goes on behind the scenes but I do know this...

....Kanye wasn't moving those kind of numbers in 1 week and neither was Beyonce. So speculate all you want. i can speculate as well and I say some how some way those units where bought

Nothing I said was speculation. There's actual news articles that say EVERYTHING I said

From jay no longer dealing with live nation except tours to the actual riaa coming out and saying sprint bought the albums and not the label

Idiot

The problem with what u saying is that this whole "no label" thing is new and I dont believe the behind the scenes mechenisms of it and I refuse to take the word of some nobody who just believes everything he reads.

and since u wanna hurl insults so easy....judging by your avi and username you probably are one of those sick demonic type whitefolks who is ok with letting your son fukk your daughter right in front of you.

I remember when Star did a whole episide about labels buying half of the first week sales. And he would be the expert on such topics being that he worked at Virgin records.
labels can't buy albums in bulk like that he is lying

if you buy the same album in more quantity than 3, it only counts as 3 albums. so if you go to the till with 10 albums and pay for them all at once, it will only be recognised as 3 sales

Where you heard that at?

It's my first time hearing this and I think ppl in the industry don't know about it, if true

I'm liking the album but this is shameless

I can't even legally access this album in Canada without a VPN, and if I were in the US without changing service providers and then signing up for a paid streaming service (free trial or whatever) I can't legally access it

What does "platinum" really mean here aside from reaffirming that Jay is successful
