Do artists now drop albums out of the blue like Magna Carta? YES
Does Billboard now report downloads and streams because of Magna Carta? YES

Magna Carta did changed the game for everyone.

It was released out of the blue for an artist like Jay-Z. There was no huge single or promotional run, just a commercial of him in the studio during NBA Playoffs and the video of him rapping in the Museum.

And actuallly no they weren't. Magna Carta was the first album to include the million downloads in his first week sales. They even did a whole article about it in the Magazine with Hov on the cover.

It says right on the cover.

Platinum Before The Album Drops. #NewRules.

Obviously he's the first artist to do that. SMH. Billboard didn't want to count those million downloads as official units sold, but ended up counting them hense why they gave him the cover. Go read the article for yourself. I ain't your mommy.

Keep denying Hov's influence on the Music biz and how he changed the game.

It wouldn't be no Beyoncé and drake dropping out the blue if not for that album, or Jcole announcing wit no single 2 weeks before his album came out

Good grief....we are about to be bombarded with so many Wimp and Tidal references on his next album.......Sh!t might be called Tidal Wave or something. I swear that n!gga had one more time to mention D"USSE on Grail......I would have slapped that negro myself.
