Jay-Z: How can the "GOAT" Always come in "2nd??" - The ULTIMATE Devils Advocate Thread

[ROFL_GUY]

2003 black album -- Speakerboxxx love below went diamond

and BIG BOI and killer mike ousthined him sumthing serious on






jays struggle flow

 

[Mac Casper]

Some people are so dumb that they'll say anything to support their claims . . Biggie ran 94 yet he dropped his album in September. Snoop was breaking records and dropped his album in November 93 . . Yet Biggie 'ran' '94

 

[DonRed]

In 2003 Jay Z rejected 50 Cent's offer for G-Unit's Beg For Mercy and The Black Album to drop on the same day.

50 Cent's GRODT dropped in February, Black dropped in November.

Anyone notice similarities in these songs?

 

[MiC]

And yet 50 went struggle gold on his 4th album and Neveruary 32 on his 5th. Yet jay went platinum 12 times. You mean to tell me 3 platinum albums can compete with 12?

They did drop on the same day, and 50 lost.

I swear some of yall, if you know how to post in a thread you should know how to do a little light research.

They DID NOT drop on the same day, Jay Z said it in his book, you do your research lil nikka.

Jay said he kept his release date a week ahead

It's really not that difficult:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beg_for_Mercy

"In its first week of sales, Beg for Mercy sold 377,000 copies. It placed third, behind Tupac Shakur's eighth posthumous release, Tupac: Resurrection, which moved 430,000 albums, and Jay-Z's The Black Album, which sold 463,263 copies."

So I gave you facts from Jay Z himself and you try to back yours up with WIKIPEDIA?

You think WIKIPEDIA is a more reliable source of information than Jay Z?

The album was pushed up to counter a leak and JAY Z WON
Just take your L and shut the fukk up. JAY Z >


Jay-Z only needed one weekend to put up monster sales numbers. Last week, his new -- and, if you believe him, final -- CD The Black Album was rushed to stores, and more than 460,000 fans rushed out to buy it.
To counteract bootlegging -- and perhaps drum up publicity -- both The Black Album and Beg for Mercy, from 50 Cent's G-Unit crew, were released last Friday instead of this past Tuesday, so they did not enjoy a full opening week. Neither seemed to suffer much, however, as Beg moved 376,000 copies, to debut at Number Three, one slot lower than Resurrection, yet another posthumous blockbuster from 2Pac.
Classical-pop crooner Josh Groban and jingoistic country hero Toby Keith broke up hip-hop's hold on the Top Five, as their Closer (375,000) and Shock N Y'all (227,000) -- last week's Number One -- came in at Number Four and Five respectively.
Jay-Z should savor this week because it might be his last ever in the top spot. Next week, Britney Spears' super-hyped In the Zone, the Beatles "new" album Let It Be . . . Naked, punk-pop stars Blink-182's self-titled fifth album and the embattled Michael Jackson's new greatest hits album Number Ones all hit the charts . . . just in time for holidays.
This week's Top Ten: Jay-Z's The Black Album; 2Pac's Resurrection; G-Unit's Beg for Mercy; Josh Groban's Closer; Toby Keith's Shock N Y'all; Now That's What I Call Music! 14; Sarah McLachlan's Afterglow; Kid Rock's Kid Rock; Pink's Try This; and Sheryl Crow's The Very Best of Sheryl Crow.

Listen Jay Z dikk rider, if you're the stan you say you are you will have read his book where he says he dropped his album a week ahead of G-Unit.

I'm just repeating what he said

That's the point some of these clowns keep missing. You can name a rapper in any given year from '96-'13 who was as hot or hotter than Jay. Problem is, that name keeps changing. And some of the names ain't even in the game anymore.

I find it hilarious that you're calling someone a "Jay Z dikk rider" when your only argument is "but Jay Z said..."

I don't know how many more links you need to accept your L.
