without Beyonce for the last 7+ years whether you believe it or not. Beyonce the best thing to happen to Jay-Z 
that was her first album which had the singles
If Jay z was working at a gas station would he be able to pull Beyoncé?This is a weird question, we don't know what would happen to any of them. If Jay never met Ty-ty he might've been working at Microsoft for all we know.
When they first got together they both did the same numbers and they've been doing the same numbers since then in terms of sales. Sometimes Jay moves more, sometimes less at least in the US.
No one is buying Jay-z albums due to Beyonce or vice versa. And his business moves have nothing to do with Beyonce, more like Steve Stoute, Jay Brown and those type of people. As far as international fame outside of music, yes Beyonce has obviously helped that. Just like it has helped Beyonce by being in a "power couple".
And her letting Jay-z takeover her career from her father was the best thing she ever did in terms of focusing on putting out dope music, real issues and becoming a respected legend instead of a girly airhead who just put out a bunch of mediocre hits in which she had no creative input. No one knows what changed that.
Is that why he's been filling tours and headlining festivals for like 10 years in several European countries. Cause unknown people usually do that.
What has helped Jay-z the most is him putting out big pop songs, that's what takes your world wide. Dirt off your shoulder targets hiphop fans, ESOM and Forever Young etc targets pop fans. But in 2016, any dope hiphop targets pop fans.
Yes, he would have a foursome with her, her mother and her sister in the back. Give them some free gas and leave them in the bushes.
Na, roc a fella was grossing 100mill a year while she was DC splitting money 10 ways off just music moneyNo jay didn't !!
This lady always had a bigger audience and more money .
She's doing stadiums now not arenas
She had 2 flopped singled that didn't make the album, and her label pushed her album back from 02 to 03 and stated that it was cause she had no single. By that time Bonny n Clyde had blew up and jayZ was on crazy in love.
Beyoncé was coming off of destiny child's doing 4 million and Austin powers before her first album. I don't remember no fliopped singles.
You underestimating 50 popularity worldwide . Outside of Em....50 along with snoop are the most well know living rappers worldwide
"Work it out" was the lead single. But it flopped hard and her label made her go back to the lab and make more mature music and music about her relationship wit the king of hip hop(at the time)
and her album came out the next year
I swear I will find a thread in the next 12 months with you bigging her up in an effort to posture for Jay
I never said bad bout her. Jay did help her career early on. Jay woulda been good either way
