what does that have to do wthi jay z not being able to have more than 1 solo "hit" in 4yrs :patrice:


isnt he the most popular rapper of all time + the GOAT + the richest etc. etc.



youd think he would be able to have more than 1 song in 4yrs reach higher than #24 on billboard without any help right?

:stopitslime:

jay-z doesnt have to play by the random rules you create in order to attempt to discredit his ability as a hitmaker

you create a hypothetical situation where "because jay can't have a solo song chart as high as 24 in 4 years" which has no validity because

a) you're tailoring the criteria around guidelines that YOU made up to please YOURSELF, which is nonsensical.
b) you're looking at an extremely small sample size. since DOA he has released two solo songs as singles, and they aren't even attached to a project (glory and open letter.) the first thing you need to understand about statistics is that sample size is everything. 2 songs is nothing.

and most importantly

c) the hypothetical situation doesn't exist! that's why it's hypothetical!:blessed:

jay doesn't HAVE to release solo songs to make hits! no rapper does! in fact, it's actually a, *gasp* smart business decision to take artists from multiple genres IE alicia keys, or mr hudson, or other popular artists in the same genre, IE kanye, in order to help a single gain radio airplay.

since DOA hes been on

aint even like a jay z stan thing, your argument is just inherently flawed, i'd point it out if it was another artist too

why does EVERY song that has a ft artist do better than hi solo tracks :patrice:

because he's released two solo songs since bp3 lmao what did you not understand about sample size

neither of them attached to an album or anything either

both were spur of the moment releases (glory when his daughter was born, and open letter during the jayz missle crisis)

having a feature or not does not matter anyways

But 50 flopped with Eminem and Maroon 5 features though :dwillhuh: ...

and Kendrick features

and Alicia Keys features (the same A. Keys that Hov went #1 with) :dwillhuh:

And Jay could release an album next week if he really wanted too...50 has been begging Jimmy for a release date for like 3 years straight at this point

And J. Cole is a gold selling artist with a hit record on the charts right now.....how much did Kidd Kidd sell Curtis? :krs: .... why is "G-Unit Records" is SODMG status right now :dwillhuh:

he doesn't have to release purely solo singles to please you and your random criteria you pulled out of your ass

jay-z is not subject to a different set of rules then other rap artists, it is not a career requirement from him to release solo singles. it's a smart business move not to. nobody else in the industry completely eschews features on singles either. there's no reason to.

i know who was on all of the singles i dont need to be reminded:shaq2:
