Jay doing these joint stadium tours with other acts isn't about him leeching off them, as much as it is a function of that $150mil 360 deal he signed with Live Nation a couple of years back...basically, they want to make their money back...hip hop tours don't usually venture outside of arena sized venues, so in order to step it up a tier to stadiums (which means move $$$ recouped for Live Nation) Jay's been coupling up with other big draws (Em, JT, Beyonce, Kanye) to generate more revenue at the gate

It's a joint venture meaning they hold no significant influence over his LLP. Therefore, no one can tell Jay to go on tour to pay anything off and he certainly would not go on tour if he didn't want to. You're only forced to recoup if you rely on a budget for your next project, not in a partnership.

He's setting himself up for the next deal, or possibly, start a distribution company with investments from investors external to the music industry who see his profitability and want to join in. All these tours, albums etc are successful and therefore allows Jay to ask for more from live nation or any other investors.

That's not necessarily true, Beyonce toured 8 months before dropping the new album and still sold out.

:mjlol: This after pointing out that Jay just did 52 stops by himself. :russ:
The honest difference is STADIUM TOUR! MMG went on tour but they won't as a collection sellout a stadium or even an arena. :yeshrug:

Valid point, but that tour was planned for 2012, and was essentially a make up tour for the 4 album that was executed in 2013, since she had Blue at the top of 2012. She pretty much had two tours last year. 1 pre album, one post album with many of the same stops.

Yes Hov and Bey can tour without an album. But if they ever were going to drop an album, it will coincide with this tour, this summer.
