NAS STAN EMERGENCY MEETING CAMEL IS ATTACKING!!!!

[straightcash]

But you can't deny Nas-Jay albums in same week means more press focus for both projects...

More press, but not more sales.

People don't go to record stores and make bulk or impulse buys. Most people will stream a few times or download it bootleg and leave it at that. Jay + Beyonce definitely taking sales away from Nas, because there's plenty of people who already getting their fill from a Jay+Beyonce album than bother with purchasing a Nas+Ye one.

 

[Abdi]

Should've dropped with Drake

he knows better than to do that to himself

 

[prophecypro]

Nas fanbase ain’t built for streaming. Alot of dudes that praise him bootlegging that shyt. nikkas don’t even got a credit card

Most of my friends who Nas fans stream his stuff. Like Everyone now has spotify and apple if we being real.

Nas fans don't care about Beyoncé.

The Be-Hive are girls/women who don't listen to Nas nor buy his album.
Do you know a 25 year woman who even know Illmatic, Stillmatic, Life is Good ? No

And even if it's true. Why having Ye, DAYTONA, Kids See Ghost released within 3 weeks is not a problem for sales but become one for NASIR?

Last question: which album did you bought?

 

[Kool Kitty Kat]

Ether still burning slow.

 

[spliz]

Can't front, Jay on some feet on yo couch shyt

Not really. Its corny cause he got Beyonce which is a cheat code in itself. These young nikkas damn near feel the same way about Jay as they do Nas but his visibility with Beyonce helps him tremendously.

Its 2018 and Nas and Jay z just dropped an album on the same day, the only losers here are cacs

That's cause Jay not in iTunes right now. Cant front bro. Jay pulled some sucka shyt.

I know he ain’t on the itunes the POINT is that this was one big crying session thread acting like the mere EXISTENCE of a Jay album takes all the attention from Nas like Nas ain’t been around TWENTY FIVE YEARS and in those TWENTY FIVE YEARS hasn’t picked up a loyal fan or two.

Thats bullshyt.

Either we real fans and we believe in Nas’s ability to pull in sales based upon the quality of his output or we’re not. It takes MONTHS of planning to put a mainstream album out. You don’t just drop shyt so you can have some imagined W over another rapper. Nas and Jay battle is OVER. Nas done told us when we were all on Sohh PERSONALLY to let it go. Nas and Jay been supporting each other since 2005. Thats THIRTEEN YEARS of good vibes, collaborations, business dealings.

 

[REAL6]

Is there a version where beyonce is edited out? That's the only way i'd even give this a listen.

 

[DaveyDave]

I will never feel the urge to listen to a Jigga/Beyoncé album so uncoils that’s care less that it dropped. The Nasir album on the other hand I’ve been bumping it since it dropped.

I understand what u sayin bro but hear me out. Nas been runnin around wit Ye. Jay got beef wit Ye. Kelis just recently had an interview where she tried to throw Nas under the bus and make like he still had animosity toward Jay. U dont really see them around each other like that anymore. And fam. They dropped the album on a Saturday fam. They couldve dropped it anytime and anywhere. It's been revealed that this album was dropping June 15th for a month. Too much of a coincidence imo fam. If I'm Nas I'm tight cause everything involved in this album release fukks wit his bottom line. From the screw ups at the GOOD Music camp that delayed his album to this whole Jay and Bey shyt.

 

[spliz]

I remember this. And he STILL took a shot at Jay the year after on American Gangster album. Lol. And Jay STILL kept talking about how Takeover is better than Ether after that. Not saying they wasnt cool. I'm just sayin I dont think they cool enough to NEVER have an issue again.
