Aside from Eminem, is Jay-Z the biggest global rap star?

Still jay does huge festivals in Europe to bigger crowds as the closing act. That doesn't mean he drew 150,000 people in Europe to his show and the European rock bands didn't contribute...that's a few days long festival with TONS of events you posted and 50 happened to be a performer. That crowd had been there for days and weren't drawn just for him.

If you can find a show where 50 drew that many people on his own tour feel free to post

bullshyt.... even Nas has been to Africa more times than Kanye.... I personally seen Jay Z in Nigeria on two different occasions.... dont be throwing random names like i dont know what im talking about...lol

dude has the nerve to bring up Kanye.....

only dude bigger than Jay Z worldwide is EM....... there was a time when 50 was doing the same type of arenas as Jay but those days are long gone...

i just posted a video jay-z has never performed in morocco and how are those days gone when just did a show recently lol

He'lll still be doing 5000 seat shows if he ever drops his album, which i doubt now

Yeah so he didn't draw the crowd himself. They were drawn to the area and some happened to go to his show after already being at Casablanca. If you already travel to a place for a huge festival may as well go watch the acts.

I'm still waiting for you to post a show like that not at a huge 2 day long music festival...

so because he played morocco you are claiming hes the bigger artist.....stupid argument dude.....

If you had read my post correctly what i said was the days of 50 doing arena tours are long over..... 5000 capacity seat shows is about his level right now..... meanwhile Jay is selling out the largest arenas in Europe

He did I was at the O2, didn't have 8 shows but its still 20k and what ever he did elsewhere
No he did not.

"Outpaced of late by his enemy Jay-Z and Kanye West, Nasir “Nas” Jones’s appeal has shrivelled to the extent where last night the O2’s top tier was curtained off." http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/music/nas-o2-arena--music-review-8541706.html

Sounds like he nearly sold it out though. That's still impressive 20 years into his career. But you just had to qualify by saying that it wasn't as many shows if it did sell out. If that's the case then there's no point in mentioning Nas to try to demonstrate that everyone does Jay did. Because that's obviously NOT the case.

I really can't imagine nas selling out a 20k arena outside the USA but that is amazing for him if he did
I don't claim to know where hes sold out crowds, but I k ow the the UK and Europe and Asia in general tend to fukk with "real" hip hop more than the states (in some cases) thus the reason old heads can still tour those continents and make bank. I could easily see nas selling 20k in the UK, especially due to his Amy winehouse work
