If Jay dropped an album today with no features he'd sell 500,000 copies or close in his first week alone. Infact maybe he should do that. The last two albums we got that didn't have but one guest at most was The Blueprint and The Black Album.

Funny thing is, people act like he's the only one benefiting from doing a collab... like some artist who's been hot for 6 months wouldn't benefit from doing a song with Jay-Z just the same if not more...

I would also kinda add American Gangster to that as that only had Beans and Nas on it and was his slowest album to go Plat. But his dopest one
