This is getting to be ridiculous.
No matter how many times I change the phrase or word while doing a news search, “Jay-Z†pops up under every other headline. Can we please fast forward Friday to Wednesday of next week so we can see the Soundscan numbers? If he does 800K like hitsdailydouble is predicting (and keep in mind that hitsdaily only estimates) then that’s cool. If he doesn’t…well whatever.
He lost me with the whole “106 and Park†campaign. Isn’t he a little too old for that?
But I can say one thing. LOL at The Game for advising Hov to push his album back. 350K is hot, but a far cry from that arrogant "one million" he so confidently spoke of. Soundscan has striked once again.
get off da man dik let him breath
hahah the game is a cocky ass muthafucka... dat nigga gonnna go plat. in like 6 7 weeks.. unless he got another single cumin out. lets ride aint doin much
and for jay-z.. that show me wat u got track..GARBAGE. aint no niggas in the hood bumpin dat shit wtf is that nigga thinkin b. way ta capture the streetz faggot ass nigga. now u understand why the streetz (dipset) dissin u.. dipset is the streets and they speak for the streetz. jayz aint shit no more unless he come out wid a gangsta ass record..otherwise FUCK em B
1st.
Dont hate the man for shutting things down. And Who ever put a fuckin age on making good music?? What the fuck does age matter?? Other than sports name one career where people get worse wit age??????
Stay in school it's the law
38 Cal You can't be serious.
Dipset is as street as some Suburb motherfuckers.
Jones is Pussy. Cam fell off. Juelz is bitch.
Ain't no one in the streets riding with those fake motherfuckers.
New York niggaz finally got somebody dropping a CD that's about to sell and ya'll are hating on ya'lls own. Jay can't really rap about sellin' dope and living in the projects because that's not his lifestyle anymore. He's gonna have the number 1 album of the year and hopefully Nas can join him too. I live in the South and support my southern artists but I like to see the legends doing their thing. That nigga Game is lucky, because if Jay had decided to drop last week, The Game wouldn't sell shit! And listen niggaz: just because I just said The Game's name, don't mean somebody should come behind me talking about 50 Cent. All you Game/G-Unit stans keep that bullshit off this blog. Peace.
KINGDOM COME IS PURE MUSIC. Y'ALL FOOLS NEED TO REALIZE THAT JIGGA IS THAT DUDE RIGHT NOW. NO MATTER HOW MQNY TIMES JENNY JONES OR TAMPON DISS HOV, THEY WILL NEVER BE BETTER LYRICALLY OR BE MO RICHER THAN S.CARTER. THE RESPECT HE HAS IN THE INDU8STRY WILL BE BIGGER THAN ANY DIPSHIT ALBUM. YALL FOOLS NEED TO GROW UP ALREADY. I GOT LOVE FOR THE STREETS, BUT AT A CERTAIN POINT YOU HAVE TO BE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. POINT BLANK. FUCK KEEPIN IT REAL, KEEP IT RIGHT. ALL THESE NIGGAZ OVER 30 NEED TO GROW AND STOP TRYING TO BE ACTIN LIKE THESE YOUNG DUDES. JAY AIRED CAM OUT DIRTY ON THE CD. CAM CAN'T SAY SHIT AFTER TRACK. JUST GIVE IT UP ALREADY. AS FAR AS Y'ALL FOOLS TALKING BAD ABOUT THE CD...JUST LOOK AT HIP HOP NOW...IT'S DEAD.
1 more thing:
Niggaz constantly on here talking about the steets this and the streets that, but street niggaz don't spend all their day on sohh.com talkin about this shit. After a certain point, rappers don't care about the streets because they make all they money off of selling a fantasy to the suburban white folks that's trying to be down with us. Mixtapes are for the streets and everything else is for white folks.
Peace.
i like Jay-z but for some reason his latest album doing 800k first week it cuz of promotion & cuz he's hova with a wack album like dat shoulda done 50k
xxl is killin hov on dat wack as album check thier page, pluz jim jones didnt kill him, but with a few mo' like dat & cam he could be forced in2 retirin
jr writer was decent, he gonna be big like in 2 more albums he'll get known
Yams U say street niggaz dont post shit on sohh.com then u say the white kids trynna be "down with us" like ur from the streets. Which is it G?
don't need 2 say anything...It's a hate free day 4 me, all i'm tryna do is get sum pussy 2day, which I will...tired of arguing about shyt dat ain't ma business...I'ma let this kids do it 4 me...fuck it, I'll prolly never post another comment again... all I gotta say is this, I'm from the hood and I bought kingdom come, whether u like it or not...
Game Over I guess you call yourself calling me out or something but whatever. What I said wasn't really that important but I guess I struck a nerve with you. I'm saying white folks are trying to be down with black folks in general. I see white folks wearing Sean John, trying to C-Walk, thinking they can use the word "nigga" and do all types of shit that's traditionally been associated with black urban culture. I'm not callin myself a street nigga. I was raised in the Acres Homes area of Houston so I've seen my fair share of shit. However, I'm 23 years old now and I'm too grown for all that petty shit. I done went to college and played college footaball, got a degree, and now I'm working on a 401k plan and all that shit so I can live good. Answer your question?
all i gotta say is...
"i'm scared of the future(why)
cuz yall respect the one that got shot while i respect the shooter"-jayz, 30 is the new 20
thats real, and their are jewels all over that album
The man is fucking 40 years old, why would he rap about the same shit? Ya'll are too fuckin stupid.....he cant relate to the same old "i got bricks, i shoot shit" He worth 350 mill lil niglettes!
Jay Z's album is aight, yes he has grown up but needs to come harder than "tell me what you got" for realz!!! Numbers of sales has nuttin to do with how good the cd is or else "NELLY" and "LIL JOHN" would be considered the BEST RAPPER. I have to say the GAME CD was way better and look for NAS CD. Also 800k in a week thats just a prediction!
REMEMBER GAME WAS SUPPOSE TO SELL LIKE 500-600K AND ONLY DID 380K!!!
Say what you want about Jay Z but the man is on top of his game and is the biggest name in hip hop right now..... Just look at the fact that people all over the world know his name and that includes people that don't even like hip hop. I've listened to a few tracks off his album and somne are good and some are shit but i don't own a single jay z album that i like every track on.
Now since Jay's cd is out can we still stop all the publicity. Thats the only thing that was good about the album. Its watered down like some kool-aid you feel me. He's mature and all but respect the game and put some effort in your profession. Many people work hard for the money to buy his cd and he give us this? We know he can freestyle but DAMN write it down for a minute so we can really feel you. The production wasn't good either. This is a listen to while I clean up the crib cd, not a bump in the trunk cd. NEW YORK was waiting for him to be the savior but he just showed why hip hop is dead in NY (cause they all think they so good that they put out BULLS***!) I hope Nas cd is better, but until then please don't hate on the south with your savior putting out may I say again BULLS***!
i read the same shit every day, you guys are bitter, i never knew making good music had age restrictions. but you can continue to try to find something to hate about
FUCK GAY Z THE ALBUM IS TRASH.
reckless u made a grammatical error there...u can't say "soundscan has striked again" u should have written soundscan has struck again...
PAMOJA!!!
CHECK THE HIP HOP IS DEAD CD FRONT COVER
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nashhisdead.jpg
And after listining to this album it is obvious, Hip Hop is Dead. Jay dumbed down his lyrics even more to appeal to a wider range of people(Good for sales,bad for the art of Hip Hop), but his dropped a album which is not worthy of his legacy, is this Jay's answer to Nastradamus?
Game album is hotter, game spits with a hunger, somthin Jay is lacking on Kingdom Come(Jay has a laid back yo i made it thing poppin off), but i waitin on NaS to drop another classic his goin show all this Playboy's what real Hip Hop is,
Let's Go Esco!!!
FUCK HOV-HE AINT NO FUCKING GOD MC'
YOU NI99AS CRAZY WORSHIPPING THIS COMMERCIAL SUCKA 4 LOVE AZZ NI99A!!
FUCK KILLA KAM TOO!!-THAT PINK BITCH!!
JENNY JONES EAT A DIC NI99A!!
FUCK KAMRON THE TAMPON!!
to me kingdom come is mature and pure hiphop. its obvious you muthafucks want a shot up and i had sex with your mom album. jigga shit is very introspective. why niggas gotta hate? grow up please, even the dude who statred t his blog you got issues man. y'all looking for a hip hop savior and its all in your mind. the numbers show that hov is the cream of the crop 850k in a week? tells me a alot. you say he is pop and whack? you dumb fucks dont know that pop means popular. I'd be pop too for the money he getting. he got skills too. y'all are so pathetic and a bunch of haters. Listen to 30 something and then you will see. as far as age too jigga is 36 about to be 37, nas is 33 or 34, diddy 37, fat joe 35, dmx 35,eminen 34, 50 is 31. all you young fucks need to grow up and realize when you mature then you see the bigger picture and you will hve more to rap about than guns and drugs. Im laughing at you internet thugs and gangsters.
The Intro/first song on Kingdom Come is ridiculous and then suddenly it turns to SHIT!! Lol I'm a huge Jay-Z fan, but It is Wack!
The Game and Snoop Dogg dropped the 2 best albums of 2006. Fuck soundscan.
Kingdom come is mellow, but there are some good lyrics on dat album...i like "dig a hole"....but it aint the answer to hip hop's resurrection! Jay is the best emcee alive!
Instead of talking 'bout Jay Z y'all should remember Soulja Slim , best rapper of New Orleans to ever bless the mic who left us on November 26, 2003.
JAY-Z IS THE BEST AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! HE'S GETTING HIS JUST DO. KINDOM COME WAS NOTHING SHORT OF A CLASSIC! HIS ALBUM WAS BETTER THAN ANYTHING PUT OUT IN 2006. HE'S ON PACE FOR 850,000 THE 1ST WEEK WHILE ALL THESE OTHER RAPPERS ARE STRUGGLING TO SELL 100,000 THE 1ST WEEK. STOP HATING. YOU'RE PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT LISTENS TO IGNORANT SOUTHERN HIP HOP!
ma'fuckas up in here always wonna hate hov and honestly i dnt kno but ask ma'fuckas what the wud do if there in jay's shoes, u ma'fuckas wud prolly forget about the whole world..liv the dude alone let him do his thing,thus the problem with niggaz when sum 1 becomes successful yall hate on him. dumb how can i guy rap about the hood when he is not even in the hood, thus some bullshit, i wudnt buy that crap if he did tht now..
Dear Dredrick,
I hope sincerely that you will fall victim of a stray bullet and die a painful death in the hospital. I hope your mother cries and will get a chance to tell your father (who is alcoholic AND in jail for prostitution), so all suffer and I can laugh.
Your comment is sickening. I cannot understand how anyone could come up with something like this. You - truly - need to be removed from society, you are the cancer that has infested our minds.
With despicable individuals like you among us, we risk our future and our mental health.
Therefore the conclusion is simple - you must die, preferrably a slow and horrible death. In addition, your mother must be incarcerated for giving birth to you bastard child. Your father...well, he is already punished enough.
one thing for sure;when ur on top ,ur the easiest target.every line would be scrutinized,every flow critically studied,every flaw exagerated and every theme quizzed.THAT is the position jay finds himself.reading blogs on this site for a while,ull hear things like'jay dick-riders and so and so' and i admit that there really are people like that but lets face it;jayz IS the most complete hip hop artist in the game today.
a lot of people wld bitch about how he came soft,how he had only r&b singers and what have u and perhaps rightly so.but get this,this man has given u truthful lyrics on what situation he his in his life.u may not like him but respect him for being honest to himself and the game.
AND FINALLY PART I DONT GET AT ALL,WHY IS HIPHOP THE ONLY GENRE THAT DSNT APPRECIATE ITS VETERANS AND INSTEAD TRYS TO PUSH THEM TO RETIRE????CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THE MOVEMENT STARED IN THE LATE 70'S AND A GENERATION OR TWO PASSED OVER AT SOME POINT TO STOP MAKING THE MUSIC IS IT A BAD THING PER SE IF WE LATER HAVE 60SUMPTHIN YR OLD RAPPERS?THINK ABOUT IT.
ALL MY BLESSINGS TO JAY FOR SAILING UNCHARTED WATERS...
BHOV ALL DAY BABY!
SHOW ME WHAT U GOT" IS LITERALLY TO HIS HATERS! (which would b for a bunch of you B'es- stop cryin & " SHOW HOV WHAT U GOT" ALSO THE SONG IS FOR HIS WOMEN FANS. Why even fool with these other guys? They all stingy All these dudes know how to say is ‘gimmie’ Gimmie some ass, Gimmie some brain Gimmie your number, gimmie your name But if I get one night baby girl I swear I’ll make you tell these other dudes gimmie got you here B'ES
Too old for what? To promote him album? To perform. Dumbassery strikes again.
game sold 358k get is straight stans,and yall are too young to appreciate jay anyway.stick to listening about famouse names and 64 impalas.oh snoop has the best album out west by far and will have the most sales westcoast.
To the nigga who said people get better at things with age except sports LMAO Just look at stevie wonder he cant sing for shit anymore, but he used to be dope when he was young. He is too old to sing well know period, everything declines when people get old. Jigga is 44 which is why he cant rap anymore, he cant keep up with the vibrate, energetic, creative, socially aware and lyrically superior young rapper, end of story. If he does 850k though hes done damn well though, because its been a very dissapointing comeback but his marketing has been perfect(beach chair is refreshingly unique though). Know weve just got to wait for nas to release his last album because hes 38 and should be forced to retire. If you over 32 for real you need to let your youth go because you cant hold onto it forever listening to hip hop, true story. There should also be an age limit on this site which is no older than 32, any older and they should not allow you to blog because your old and out of touch with urban music, the culture and stuggle of black people. Thats real talk right there.
dick riding hov
whoever said dipset is the streets listen to the song ballin on xmas
Yams>>>I cosign with what you said homie,mixtapes represent the streets and shit albums are white boys' fantasy guides.I heared a couple of songs off 'Kingdom come" and honestly didn't feel like playing any of 'em again.PEACE!!!

This may be the dumbest shit ever posted.
you should never wish death on nobody!

YOU SHOULD NEVER WISH DEATH ON NOBODY!
Bono can go on TRL and shut it down... Why can't Jay shut down 106?
If Biggie and Pac were still alive, and their music still in demand, would they be asked to sit down?
Should Denzel stop acting cause he's too old? Cause Sean Connery hasn't.
When you get to 40, 300 mil in the bank or not, are you gonna step aside cause you "cant keep up with the vibrate, energetic, creative, socially aware" youngsters?
This album isn't his best work, but lets judge by the work not his age, c'mon...
man i think we helpin keep doin this blog by keep readin this mess everyday....
i believe i'm gone stop readin this mug til someone else up in here lol
I agree with the poor nigga from AFRICA, they need to post about young rappers. If you post about the old ones your only backtracking and looking in the past, which is stifling the young rappers ability at helping hip hop grow. The youth is able to look to the future, unfortunately the old can only look to the past, because theyve lived there future by 32.
Real talk Africa. We keep the wheels rolling around here. If we stop responding to this nonsense, it'll stop.
But as for the one comment made, "isn't he too old for 106?", is pretty much the most idiotic thing I've heard today. But it's only 9:47, there's still time.
Promo is promo in my book. Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood were on 106 promoting Million Dollar Baby when that shit came out. They're like 70-80 and not even in the music industry.
A blog is a terrible thing to waste.
Its sad how hip hop fans have to be the dumbest fans in music. I am 32 and never would have thought I was getting too old for hip hop. Thats insane to say the least. Hip hop will not last because no one wants to give respect to the legends.
yall need to stop hatin, J doin him he aint tryin to appeal to everybody like some people claim.....he cant rap about the streets and selling drugs like he did 10 years ago, he grown up now....that shows how ignorant niggas are, no matter what niggas do, theres always niggas that wanna hear a nigga rap about tecs, nines, bitches, crack, etc. Damn let a nigga grow up shit!
And another thing, I constantly hear the haters saying J fell off, he 40 or 41 years old, what the fuck are yall smoking? the nigga will turn 37 in December. How many of yall really think that Jenny Jones or Cammie will be rapping when they turn 37? they both 30 right now, but hey whatever, them some 35 year ol has beens, Cam was hot years ago, hes been trash for a minute, and Jenny Jones Im not even gonna comment on.
If you following Dipset and you down with them, 2 things. They coming out with a Christmas album (wack) and Cammie snitched on Jigga on that diss track talkin bout Jigga confirmed the ambush in DC when Cam got blasted on. I rest my case
The man is "made", most can not relate because you have no aspiration on being "made" Jay said it best himself, "What more can I say". The album is above subpar, but short of great. It's better than most hip hop trash that came out this year. Rick Ross, Field Mob, LiL Wayne, and as much as I hate to say it but Jenny Jones was ok to listen to, and I hate dip set cats. Other than those artist mentioned above, none is fucking with Hov.

@DRUGSFORU nigga you dont have to worry just yet ill let you stay on here for another year, but once you hit 33 just let it go dog....let it go. Youve had youre 15 or 20 years its time to pass the baton cause the young niggas have got to finish the race, and well only win if you let go, real talk. Its our time to shine and your time to decline.
