Jigga had the Def Jam machine behind him
He had Kevin Liles and Lyor pushing the button promotion wise
Nonetheless, BP wasn't a better album than Stillmatic & BP2 wasn't a better album than God's Son
The italic is a damn lie.
The Blueprint and Blueprint 2 both outsold stillmatic and God son. Where did the narrative that Nas won come from?

- Start date

I’m trying to leave lolbreh I dont care about nas y u keep talking about him I already said that
I'm calling out how sales are fraudulent and how there is literally evidence of jay-z working the system. you used that as a metric 2 "jock jay-z...jockin jay-z"
I have a strong distaste for that as a barometer of skills in this shyt. especially since hip-hop is a counter-culture. this was never for the masses.
Some of us actually care about the art form and hate the prostitution of said art form.
Some of the best albums probably never sold shyt.
In the words of monch
"u sold platinum round the world; I SOLD WOOD IN THE HOOD"
but here is one more for ya
the way y’all think jay was a nobody in 96
thats how Nas career been the last 20 years
I never said he was a nobody

Blueprint 2 is a double cd
So if you brought the album, it counts as 2.
And blueprint came on 9/11
Stillmatic outsold that jayz unplugged album that year in December.
I think those albums came out the same day too

blueprint 2 was considered a trash album.
So was best of both worlds lol
There's a reason why jay-z announced his retirement shortly after. He had no direction muscially and was discouraged.
God son is fire and was pretty much a victory lap. While jayz was apologizing to rosie perez and bragging about giving to charity

Which also was a flawed "sales" battle because it wasn't just rap heads buying that Kanye album, that album sold so well because non hip hop people purchased it in droves.
