50 million albums sold, 17 Grammys and he's worth 1/2 a BILLION.

Won't argue, eminem and Wayne and hell even MC hammer have def been "more popular". But ask ANY artist who's career they'd rather have.

Only in rap is money>>music

That's why rap gets ZERO respect from other genres, and rightfully so

You're the one who completely glossed over homies first two points. The amount of sales speaks to the quality of the music. Many artists have sold big numbers once or twice, but to consistently sell a minimum of a million records in 3 different decades speaks to the quality of the music, not a flash in the pan like Vanilla Ice. Ask Wayne how come he only sells platinum if it's named "Carter" and all other releases are gold?

Grammys speak to the quality as well, these are actual awards being given for the quality and not sales or money because 50 Cent only has 1 and it wasn't even his song. Whether you agree on nominations or respect Grammys is another topic, but I guarantee you most of the same cats talkling shyt about Grammys were the same ones in the Nas Grammy thread crying about how he doesn't have one. For the record I believe it's a travesty too but that's neither here no there.

The OP is suggesting that the ones who think Jay is the best are stat geeks. Cause Jay's been gettin by his whole career on stats... and not only that REMINDING you of his stats. His number of #1 albums, his longevity in the game, his paper, his hot wife, his business reach... Hov leads in a lot of these categories and he's gonna push these on you like it's all that matters.... but realistically this would be like a dude braggin about leadin the league in points but not never winnin the championship. Is he still the best?

Jay never had that scoring title, regular season MVP, and Finals MVP all in one season type years.

Going to post this again... It's so damn powerful.... I'm only doing what JAY ASKED ME TO DO.....


Jay-Z on Tom Ford: "Numbers don't lie, Check the Scoreboard!"


-FACT - Biggie / Pac Dominated the 90s sales
-FACT - Eminem / Nelly Dominated the 2,000's sales
-FACT - Biggie, Pac, Eminem, 50, Luda, Nelly have more #1 hits than him
-FACT - Jay-Z sold the most albums only 1 year in his career, 2006 (Kindom come, worst album, top 5 players injured: 50, Kanye, Eminem, Wayne didn't drop albums)
-FACT - Eminem is the best selling rap artist of all time
-FACT - Biggie, Pac, Eminem average more platinum plaques per album than Jay
-FACT - Jay-Z only has the 16th best selling rap album of all time, Biggie, 2pac, Eminem all have albums above him
-FACT - Eminem, Lil Wayne, 50 and almost Kanye, have all sold 1 million in their first week.. Something Jay-Z has openly said he wish he could do (but NEVER will)
-FACT - Lil Wayne has the most hits on the Billboard hot 100 of any rapper ever
-FACT - While Big / Pac were alive, Jay-Z never went better than platinum... He went Multi the year after Biggie released his last album.
-FACT - Jay-Z has 12 #1 albums... Graduation / Curtis were released on same day... Graduation #1 album.... Curtis #2 album.... American Gangster #1 album... Curtis outsold American Gangster. (translation, #1 album means NOTHING, the stats above are the meaningful stats)



I checked the scoreboard.... And Jay is losing in ALL major categories :ehh:
