When did Jay Z become a legacy artist? And how did Beyonce escape legacy artdom?

[Shadow King]

Who got 3 multi plat albums as a legacy act?

I don't necessarily think a legacy artist can't sell. Often times the legacy status keeps them selling.

For Jay probably post-TBA. Definitely by BP3 MCHG.

Bey never really escaped it. Post-Lemonade.

But who does that apply to

what legacy artist legacy keeps them selling?

 

[Mac Ten]

Jay became a legacy act once he was offered to run Def Jam….

Dude was grinding and building the Roc brick by bric.

For him to come up on a offer like that is GOLDEN.

He became a big homie once he co-signed Rick Ross and Jeezy who both went on to do great things in the rap game.

 

[Chris Cool]

Once he had to buy his own albums and ride the coattails of others to make it appear as if he was on top.

People are mad in here because Jay Z not a legacy artist
