So 50 has more monthly spotify listeners than Jay Z

[TheOptimisticCynikal]

Love Jay Z. Was the first rapper my young mind identified as a rapper/hip hop artist and introduced me to hip hop artistry properly beyond songs my folks played and what came on the radio. I might've mentioned before that I bought and read his book decoded–great insight into his mind and memoir over his career–that being said, I fully realized as I got older that whole hip hop GOAT claim was careful PR and public image curation built up since probably immediately post the end of Rocafella Records, but the kids clearly don't buy it.

Plus with the internet, you got Southerners from that generation (late 90s/early 00s) telling anyone willing to hear how they never bumped Jay Z like that and never heard many of his songs outside (I feel this is a bit revisionist, but hey, that's what them nikkas be saying)



Still a proud HOVenger, idc

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

Jay lost a whole generation

most rap fans that started listening from 2009 or after don't give a fukk about him at all

Until the Clipse album drops

 

[Greenhornet]

jay used music as a vehicle to go forward and after Nas debacle never really imprinted himself as "a hardcore emcee" anymore
50's career was based on G shyt and getting shot, so you automatically look into his music because its the biggest part of his story

its still interesting that 50 has more listeners, but im not surprised at this point in time

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Bumping both of these nikkas music on Spotify this evening and saw that 50 has 38 million vs Jay 34 million

Click bait TRASH.

50 probably got more spins than Nas Rakim Wu-Tang etc. Candy Shop probably get more play than all of Nas every week.

Men lie women lie numbers don't.

Women ain't bumping Jay
Young cats ain't bumping Jay
Numbers don't lie
Women lie
OP..............

I didn’t say Jay had zero pop hits. I said 50 has bigger pop hits.

Are you stupid or are you illiterate?

I'll admit. You got me there.

not to mention streaming doesn’t have most of the b-sides and freestyles that made Jay a great.

Fif got the goat birthday song

 

[Awesome Wells]

Vanilla Ice has more than Beanie Sigel. Who gives a shyt?

This here.

You know sh*t is bad when MF's are counting monthly streams. Nas only has 9M compared to Hov's 35M. None of this sh*t matters at all though.

We gotta do better.

 

[Tres Leches]

they both nas stans

 

[JustCKing]

50 at his peak > Jay at his peak

Did it without Beyonce and Rihanna too

But overlook the fact that he had Dre and Eminem. They were both present during the GRODT promo runs even doing joint interviews and magazine covers.

 

[Tookalossfellbackcameback]

Imagine somebody bumping 'Holy Grail' in the year of our Lord 2025...
