To take it further.Smh it's way better than inconsistent ass Vol. 1 and Vol. 1 is one of my favorite Jay albums with some of my favorite Jay songs...
C'mon son, Take Care was at least a 4 Mic album, a great work
To answer this thread, Drake is Jay's son. Drake is to this generation what Jay was to his generation...
lets compare the best songs from both projectsHow is Take Care inconsistent, I'd remove 2 tracks out of 20. I'd remove Make Me Proud and We'll Be Fine, they aren't bad songs just average filler.
In My Lifetime has I Know What Girls Like and Sunshine
Vol. 1 wasn't even well received
drake has like 10 sunshines on that album. Thats why you shouldnt compare jay z and drake when it comes to the music, both different styles.
You can't compare streaming to album sales.
Not a rap record.
Isn't the number of songs on the hot 100 a result of the rule change where all the songs can get on there as a result of steaming? Those songs should have an asterisk next to them.
Again, only as a result of a rule change.
And directly as a result of the rule change.
You saying he took their rhymes?
A feat Drake will never match.This past summer The RIAA has now ceritifed "Country Grammer" 10x Platinum. Nelly Joins a Historic Class of MC Hammer, Biggie, Tupac, Outkast and Eminem as the only rappers to go diamond.
Gold & Platinum - RIAA
TML- PlatJay Z has more muti-platinum albums than Nelly does plus only 6 rappers have achieved Diamond status in history, it's obviously a very diffcult thing to do for a rapper. Jay has a 5x Platinum and Three 3x Platinum albums. Also the billboard chart rules have changed. Drake lives in a era where album cuts can chart where Nelly and Jay come from era's were only singles could chart on the main charts. I never said Drake didn't have hit songs, I actually gave him props for that.
I said that wasn't the only one factor, other factors put him below Nelly overall and he's defintely not near Jay. Again some of you are holding on to "Singles" as if that's the end all be all. Nelly, T.I. Ja, 50, Luda all have had more than enough success to see Drake career. Oh yeah MC Hammer's "Hammer don't hurt em" had a longer reign at #1 than Drake's "Views" and it was much harder for a rapper to be pop in the late 80's and early 90's than it is today. So let's stop acting like he's doing what's never been done before.
"MC Hammer please don't hurt em is the longest reiging #1 Rap album in Billboard History at 21 weeks. It was also the very first Hip Hop album to go Diamond"
Country Grammar - Diamond

10 Sunshines?lets compare the best songs from both projects
vol 1 got 4 mics in the source
When I listen to TC, I only listen to the intro, lord knows (ross renegade), cameras, the real her, look what youve done, and the ride. The rest is in the recycle bin
10 Sunshines?
At the time there was bias in The Source. Vol. 1 was panned by most other critic called a fake Bad Boy album and criticized for "selling out".
Ross renegade? Just know you're in the majority Drake spit 32 bars and sonned his haters on that track.
No Under Ground Kings, No HYFR, no Crew Love, no Headlines, no Shot For Me?
drake spit 32 bars and it was nothing special, he got overpowered by the beat and sounded out of place. Drake would kill that beat now though since his delivery improved. Ross actually sounded like he belonged on that track
You know what I meant by 10 sunshines. You think people wouldve been ok with jay making a song like crew love or take care? You can't compare jay and drake when it comes to music, drake a completely different artist who sings and doesnt make complete rap projects.
And Nas got 14 years of plaques.
Ultimately, you can't get past this fact.
