Jay Z Inflated album sales?
by JOKESTA
MONDAY DECEMBER 11, 2006
Rumors have been circulating that the boy Hov bought 200,000 copies of his own album. Now I’m pretty sure this is fake but, Mediatakeout.com posted an email that supposedly came from a DefJam employee. Anyways, here’s a copy of the email:
Just wanted to let you know that the “numbers” that Jay put up are probably fake. I work at Def Jam and everyone here knows that [Jay Z] bought more than 200,000 copies of the album himself. Ain’t that some some shit. I guess money really ain’t a thing for [Jay Z].
He was all up on the BET Awards saying “Numbers don’t lie.” Fake ass nigga”
I mean…it kinda would explain the 130k drop after selling 700k wouldn’t it?..
COMMENTS
numbers don't lie but gay-z does stupid ass nigga
what the fuck.that cd is hot. dont fuckin hate. i bought and everyone else should do it.
Everybody's a fuckin' hata! How u gonna hate on ya boss? A nigga that's feedin' U!
He's prolly a Lil' Wayne Lover!
look at this nigga (Lil wayne Lover) ha u funny bruh but tru enough to each iz one lil wayne spit can't nobody deny that. but jay is a veteran. as for the people who posted that shit they probably just a hater who mad cuz they couldn't bootleg tha album. But when did that become a crime to do..Shit If you can but ya own shit and generate more money for ya self that some Hustla Shit I'd do that shit i na heartbeat fuck tha next man...wh o maybe just downloading my shit in tha 1st. I'd buy my albums and give that shit to lil' niggas and fans who want it but couldn't purchase it or sumthin to that nature
why is dis clown callin sumone else a hata.. but ery page i been on Wiz10l been da one hatin .. on wayne.. Buy his CD nigga..
Thats A Dam Lie..If Hov Did That He Will Look Like A Idiot Seriously.Thats Enough Said..
does anybody actually look at these sources? This shit is so lame, hip hop is getting gay
lol some kid sends out an email and everyone jumps on it like its the truth? lol niggas who on these websites and magazines need to check who the fuck is sayin what.....as a matter of fact, I heard Game got stomped by Scarface in Houston last night!! not only that but I also heard Kanye West got slapped by Prince in LA!! fuckin lame ass niggas Jigga aint got time to be buying cds, niggas need to stop hatin
Ok, so does this means numbers are lie now too? Damn man, maybe its a tax write off. Hey Joey Crack, dont get it twisted, thats sneaky, but hell its still business son, he might just did!
real talk every artist or label does buy out nuff copies of their albums to make it go platnum or whateva...but thats soft...jay z is da man...the CD is fire...don't hate...lil waynes sick too tho i can't lie but he ain't Jay z ya feel me

YUNG GUAP U DUMB NIGGA THATS WHY U LIKE DIPSET B/C THEM NIGGA DONR SELL SHIT SO WHY U HATIN ON JIGGA NIGGA HE SOLD MORE THEM THEM NIGGAS DID IN ONE WEEK ON HIS LAST ALBUM THEM THE NIGGA DID THE WHOLE YEAR STUPID! BUT I DO AGREE HIP HOP ISNT GAY JUST CERTAIN RAPPERS ARE LIKE WEEZY, AND JENNY JONES.
People... hold up before yall get mad at Young guap....LEAVE HIM ALONE DAMN IT!
No, No, No
I'm not defending him... I'm actually trying to PROTECT HIM........
................... from HIMSELF! LMFAO!
This dude is too tough! Look at all of his comments... everyone of them on every subject in every forum are the same way! I don't know why dude's so angry... sounds like he has some deep rooted personal issues or something... No one's that tough and that big of a Hater... I'm thinking that deep down inside he's a fan... probably one Jay-Z's biggest supporters... and it's killing him!
Watch he's gonna fuck around and look in the mirror and see himself for what he really is... A soft ass female!
That's probably when he'll go in the bathroom...open up the medicine cabinet and take 100 pills attempting to kill himself... But keep in mind he's SOFT... so they'll probably be Flinstone Chewables (lol)!
Anyways he'll still force himself to throw up... scared that if he actually does die... he wont be able to listen to anymore upcoming Jayz songs, or have anyone else to hate on! Dickhead!
I think we should all get together and start a "SAVE THIS STUPID MUTHAFUCKA FROM HIMSELF" fund! Seriously...
He's going to hurt himself one day being THAT tough!
Also if it's not too much... we could throw in a couple of Flash Cards, and Vocabulary workbooks!
I'm through with dude yall can have him...
But please, please...Keep in mind that he's not "normal"
so....
-Be EAZY!
Well played Wiz. If Jay bought 10 copies or 200,000 WHO GIVES A FUCK. He won't lose no sleep because y'all feel like it's some grimey shit. If you think it's true then don't listen to his shit. Don't support it, don't buy it, don't burn it. That way people like YUNG GUAP won't get on here and show us how smart he's NOT.
Im wit my man ghova....shoe me the source...I can shoot a fucking email to wendy williams saying i just saw jay-z buying 100 copies of his cd....and its a rumor....AGAIN WE NEED A HIP HOP COMMITTEE
Excuse me gentlemen, But I have got a real question? Im not going to dispute whats been said, but why do yall care about how another man spends his money??? I dont think Shawn Carter does, buying your own CD??? C'mon the last time I checked this was business man..."they like U should spit, Im like U should (buy it) nigga thats good business"-Kingdom Come(prelude) Since Reasonable Doubt Jay-Z has sold no less than a 1,000,000 copies of his music...His NET worth is in the billions
1.Multi-platinum recording artist (never wrote ryhme)
(Has (1) of the "sickest" flows & deliveries in HIP-HOP period)
2.Partial owner of NJ Nets
3.(C)hief (E)xecutive (O)fficer of Def Jam...the largest producer of urban music on the planet Earth
4. Multi-million dollar clothing & shoe mogul
5.Grammy-nominated...
6.Billboards Top 100 greatest artist
7.Kingdom Come #1 album in the country
8. & if thats not enough he's been with countless top-shelf celebrity women
9. Currently "got the clamps" on Beyounce
The list goes on & on & on but they all equal one thing $,$$$,$$$,$$$.$$ and thats really what speaks 4 an individual in the industry these days...So I ask again why argue about what another man does with his money???
Brilliantly Put HipHop. Don't Judge, regardless if he bought them or not it all comes back to him anyways from the other "Million" dollar projects he works on. Would you spend 200,000 to make 600,000 if you had it like that? Excellent way to hide money from the tax man also, of course you shallow minded are wondering just what the hell I'm talking about but that's why people like HOV make GWAP from different ventures other than just Hip-Hop while others sit around and complain about how he got it and why. Last time I checked Son made the Forbes 400 List. That speaks volumes in itself. You don't have to like him but his busisness aspirations are nothing short of Genius and you have to be a hater to disrespect that.
nigga kingdome did go anywhere but to the trash. they rated diddy shit higher unleast you weren't overrated like clipse shit because everyone knew u had nothing to copy so the tracks was goint to be wack.
Nigga kingdom come was a tight album. You mothafuckaz need to quit hatin.Try comparin kingdom come to any other rap album that came out dis year... Jay is light years ahead of all these niggaz. If jayz album isnt da throwedest album that came out dis season than who is nigga??? plz let ya boy know
"Its go always be haters, thats the way it is..Hater nigga's marry hater bitches and have hater kids" - Kanye West

^enough said.
Nice way to end a Thread. With Actual FACTS. I Love it!
BROOKLYN BIGUP!
Lets all be honest here. We care about what he does with his money because the numbers show how well your album is doing. I don't know about ya'll but I wanna know if he went platinum on his own or if he went platinum because he bought 200,000 copies. Numerous record companies do it we can't deny. But if he bought 200,000 copies of his own album then he doesn't have faith in it so why should we. Do I really think he did that. Hell no. All I'm saying is I care if he did it. My opinion
Why are grown-ass men talking about what another brotha does? I mean what the hell? I usually don't get in stupid shit like this but damn!! You cats sound like some females....he got this & he did that. At the end of the day, what did you get??? Brothas get your minds right and leave that shit alone....Hell if you like to argue and debate get a got damn law degree and make some doe.....simple asses!
Jay-z Is almsot as whack as Lil Wayne, he probobly did buy his own album.
