Jay-Z new album going to be his best yet?

[Evolve]

It has already hit Platinum BEFORE it's release.

That is right.

Samsung have pre-ordered and paid for 1 MILLION copies of his new album to give-away to EVERY Galaxy phone user.

His new album will be called 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' which will be released July 8th.

doubtfully, but I'm sure it'll still be a solid album.

doubtfully, but I'm sure it'll still be a solid album.

Reasonable Doubt would be hard to beat, true. I'm still hoping for an album to overwhelm that.

[oats]

Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint are both top-shelf albums. I generally lean towards Nas in the big picture, but can't deny Hov. Black Album was dope, too. If this album beats any of those, I'll be stoked.

[Witty]

Pretty sure it won't be his best, maybe best selling if this thread is anything to go by. Looking forward to it.

where did u read pre-sold 1 mil to samsung? Evolve links?

[Evolve]

Straight from Yahoo news.

"Jay-Z made it clear Monday what he felt the trade publication should do.
"If 1 Million records gets SOLD and billboard doesn't report it, did it happen? Ha," Jay-Z tweeted, adding: "Platinum!!!"
Donio said he thinks more deals like Samsung-Jay-Z are on the horizon.
"The record labels that are putting out the music and partnering with a variety of types of commerce outlets are going to look at just anything and everything that may work with that particular artist and that particular album release," he said."

[Evolve]

Yahoo news again.

"The details of the deal were leaked shortly after the commercial — that features Jay hanging out in the studio with producers Rick Rubin, Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beats and Timbaland — per The Wall Street Journal's Hannah Karp: Samsung bought 1 million copies of the album for $5 a piece that will be available for Samsung Galaxy owners to download 72 hours ahead of its regular release. So, in essence, Jay-Z (and his record company) already pocketed $5 million before his album was even released. Jay-Z's normally adoring public were, well, kind of grossed out by this marriage of art with corporate America: "

no matter what, it won't be as good as nas next album
God Of War

[ill nik-A]

Nas sucks... U serious?! Last album was Garbo
Destroyer

[Malachi]

LOl @ NAs sucks

[ill nik-A]

Smh at u thinking any of his last 4 were any good

[Malachi]

Ive only listened to

STillmatic
Lost Tapes &

[oats]

Nas at his best>Hov at his best
Nas at his worst<Hov at his worst

If I were to compare their top three albums (imo, of course) and rank them, it would look like this:

1. Illmatic
2. Blueprint
3. Reasonable Doubt
4. It Was Written
5. God's Son
6. Black Album

Hov is more consistent, but Nas is the man when he's on point.

[ill nik-A]

Yea ok

Nas it's best was illmatic...

Jay z consistently good

Nas is a bore fest...

[oats]

I'll give you that. Nas' shitty songs/albums are pretty awful, whereas Hov usually has something redeeming about his shitty songs/albums.

How did this devolve into another nas v jay z thread?

Jay is the goat end of fucking story. You Nas fanboys can gtfo, this is a H.O.V. thread.

But yes it sounds good thanks for the clip.

[just rap]

Nas' "Life Is Good" was dope. Seen him live a couple months back, really glad he didn't forget any lyrics.

[God Of War]

Nas at his best>Hov at his best
Nas at his worst<Hov at his worst

jay z has outdone nas in every facet of music.

plus vol 2 fucking shits on it was written , so does vol 3 and roc la familia is even better then that shit

blueprint 2 was better then it was written or gods son
nas will be forever remembered for having that one album and thats it
