[Tyshawn]

Jay Z aint thinkin about numbers? Yeah f*ckin right, why do you think Rihanna and Ne Yo are still makin videos for their albums which both came out early last year yet Ghosface drops an album last month and has yet to make a video, because of numbers thats why shawty and the lil homo sell records.

BECAUSE THEY GOT HOT SONGS :yes:

[Tyshawn]

No because they sell records. Again numbers

"MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE BUT NUMBERS DON'T!" JAY-Z

I'M NOT A BUSINESS MAN I'M A BUSINESS MAAAAAN!" JAY-Z

Don't act like Hov aint about the numbers now that he aint crackin for arguments sake, that 1st quote says it all, right out of his own mouth.

[Tyshawn]

No being outsold by an 18yr old Usher clone when you own the company (Rocafella) that puts ya albums out and was CEO of Def Jam which is the major that distributes your company and albums is somethin bad considering you claim to be the best rapper of all time....now holla at ya boy.

[Tyshawn]

Just as I thought...crickets! :yes:

Even if he gets outsold by a lil, he'll still make more, seeing as though he gets more per cd sold than a cat like Chris Brown. Before the album dropped, him and LA Reid said they didn't care about numbers, and Hov said he was doing it for his fans

The things rap fans care about most... mind boggling

OF COURSE, JAYS HIS OWN BOSS, BUT THE POST TILE ISNT "JAY MAKES MORE THAT CHRIS BROWN", ITS CHRIS BROWN SOLD MORE THAN JAY. WHAT THEY EAT DONT MAKE US ****. HOWEVER WE BROUGHT MORE CHRIS BROWN RECORDS THAN JAY Z RECORDS

[RandyBodek]

the christmas rush makes ALL those people who came out around early-mid-late December's numbers look bigger than they would be if they came out during a regular month when gifts aint being bought.

[Murder Weapon]

but you're just a fukk1n pawn if you care how much they sell when they both worth more then you entire poor family

[Reggie Jams]

but jay made good music, i'm not a fan of jay. but i respect him as an MC. american gangster was good music, you can't front, even if you a crab nicca.

chris brown is for girls nicca, it's gay music

[RandyBodek]

^^^ jay-z is a great rapper but i aint like "american gangster". bringing up sales when you discussing jay-z, or 50 Cent or Puffy looks madd stupid, lol, these n*ggas got hundreds of millions of dollars bruh, what they get from a f'n album is like chump change to them.

[aka 80's Kid]

Amazing how fans have become so concerned with record sales.

Even more amazing that fans would be concerned about the sales of a dude who's bank account is 9 figures deep.

"We" didn't buy anything... if you think Jay-Z's audience is the same exact people as Chris Brown's audience, you're retarded. I guarantee you, more 9-year-old girls and 106&Parkers wanted Chris' sh*t for Christmas than they did Jay's. And Jay's audience is the same audience that does what? Sits on here and begs for links all day? Exactly.

No excuses here, but at least line up two people whose music is aimed at the same crowd.

[Tyshawn]

but you're just a fukk1n pawn if you care how much they sell when they both worth more then you entire poor family
And your a f*ckin twat box, why u ask....simply cause I said so, no other reason needed :laugh::laugh::laugh:

LOL @ me bein poor f*ckin ethug callin himself MURDER WEAPON, go scrub ya moms with a big brush and do the other circus elephants while you at it :yes:

[boojitede]

hov needs to drop "I KNOW" as a single. If he does that he'll cruise to 2x plat and right past chris brown.

said it before i could...they are selling to two different markets, aint no teenage girls going to buy american gangsta...that album was for US, you know...the n1ggas who dont buy albums...and he didnt care about the numbers to THIS album because it was just supposed to be ART...he didnt even sell the sh1t on i-tunes which took away from his sales becaue he aint want to compromise the vision of his cohesive record

fucck chris brown, and fucck this lame n1gga arguing with himself in a thread with this off balence ass comparison

Oh yea didnt I tell you to go use the big brush and scrub ya mother with the rest of the circus elephants and get off my ****?!

[Blackman28]

Yeah Jaws stans will have to eat their words...SMH @ the Jaws warriors coming in this thread doing their best Tony Yayo impression, "yeah well he still makes more money than Chris Brown", or, "he's making major business deals". LOL, that still doesn't cover up for the fact that this album has underachieved. From now on it's a new day, no more talk about Jaws and his f*cking record sales.

[NotoriousHNIC]

I agree.. Mufukkas be on here arguing about sales and who got the most money like the b!tches at a damn hair salon:thumbsdow

if my memory serves me correctly. Jay's album wasn't on Itunes. probably wasn't on any of the top digital download sites (Emusic, Napster, etc). so lets see, if digital downloads is where its at these days. he missed out on anoter 200,000 sales easy.

[Raheem]

bad comparison really.

chris brown has released 3 singles all ready. 2 before the album came out and is on his way to number 4. Jay Z released 2 singles total. 1 before the album and 1 after.

chris brown = 1. wall to wall, 2. Kiss Kiss ft. (both before the album dropped) / T pain 3. With You ... 4. Damage (gettin mix show plays)

jay z = 1. Blue Magic (before the album dropped)/ 2. roc boys 3. (jay z lame ass dont release enough singles)


obviously if you release more singles after your album drops you should continue selling more records. where as if you stall on singles your sales will drop. Why would anyone continue to purchase an album for the same songs the here everywhere all the time, after a while u want some new sh!t. This is simple mathematics.

That being said LOL! at jay being about sales his whole career, then getting cake out the ass over the past few years and getting extra lazy with the singles and losing to damn near everybody that did big first week sales.

old j was the ****!, new j needs to move out the way, bow out as a legend and let some new talent live!

[Tyshawn]

Regardless Of The Amount Of Videos This Is Jay Z We Talkin About He Ran Def Jam When Ag Dropped And He Owns Rocafella, Plus Ag Was Cross Promoted With Ag The Movie

[MajornvrMinor]

but does it matter what he sells?
whats that proving?

hes already secure dog so sales dont mean ****t

[Sunzoo aka LC]

and what talent is going to take his place? who is jay stopping from getting shine? thats why hip hop isnt taken serious as an artform, we dont have a "rolling stones" or an entitiy that can still do his thing after age 35 without all kind of hate

if he's still releasing good music why stop? who's way is he standing in?

[godbynature]

Regardless Of The Amount Of Videos This Is Jay Z We Talkin About He Ran Def Jam When Ag Dropped And He Owns Rocafella, Plus Ag Was Cross Promoted With Ag The MovieI just saw that the album is at 887,000 still doing 45k a week. Why can't you just be happy for Jay and Chris Brown having successful albums? Why are you trying to use one to hate on the other?

Well compare it to the Kanye Sales.LMAO.U jay stans are better off comparing the chris brown sales.

[Tyshawn]

tru very very tru, imagine if they dropped the same day, kanye would have his foot up on the desk and Jay would be gettin his coffee lol
