If Jay z did a tour by himself in 1996 on the West Coast would he sell out? Could he sell out a 2-5k arena in 1996 No
Same if he did a tour in the south in 1996, he would not sell out because he did not have singles that made folks want to go purchase his album for 20 bucks or concert tickets for 25 -100 bucks in 1996.
I'm almost willing to bet he would not sell out in the Midwest, but guess where he would sell out in 1996? The tri-state area and the DMV area.
Aint no nikka, let's talk about that song, Jay-Z wasn't even the stand out artist on the track, the track got bumped because of Foxy and it being on the soundtrack of a movie. Foxy was the bigger star at the time, her album had just come out that year so she was the artist folks were checking for, not no Jay-Z. That song got played on the Radio because of that.
nikkas weren't coming to school saying, man that Jay-Z dude got off or we need to go and cop his album, nikkas were talking more so about Foxy's verse or the visuals from the video becuase at the time in 1996, nikkas were pressed on Foxy, just like we were pressed on Lil Kim.
Jau-Z in 1996 was the equivalent to Jude Buchler on the Chicago Bulls Team or your Stacy King in other regions outside of the tri-state and DMV area in 1996. let's cut it out now folks with the rewriting of history
There’s a case to be made AT THAT POINT Jay was Foxy’s Safaree. Of course that would change once Feelin It & Dead Presidents came out
