Dumbest post in a long time

He did over 3 million sales alone in the US in 6 months

30k for Nas a W tbh

Man been rapping for 30 years

Shawty better drop his loss version. Need some industry spice

Would it be if it was Jay

Nas never been on Jays level w sales

Dude dropped his debut in ‘94 those numbers are incredible for him

Streaming daddy's album on repeat on all platforms. This mayo witch losing this time around on my watch

Huh? Nas was went 3x platinum in 96 when jayz couldn’t even go gold.
It was written sold 270k first week and reasonable doubt only sold 43k first week

Jay got a lot bigger later.

Kenny stans don't know s*** about hiphop smh

It was Jay’s first studio album - with little commercial appeal - vs Nas who just came off the reputation built up following Illmatic and rolled the album out with a huge single. RD should not be used in a comparison

Nas was outselling Hov till he dropped that weed plate Nastradamus

I know that but like…RD vs IWW to make that point is unfair lol

True Vol 1 would have been a better/fair comparison.

Even during his commercial peak ('96 to about '03) Nas was never a huge seller....B list commercial success with A list critical acclaim. 28K in 2022 is a W for him

Vol 2. outsold both I Am and Nastradamus.

Jay was barely a middle of the pack artist before "Hard Knock Life", so 96 Jay vs 96 Nas isn't a fair comparison. Once Jay became a superstar he was at least twice as big as Nas ever was commercially

I Am 470,000
Vol. 2 350k

I said Hov started washing him when he dropped Nastradamus then forever after

You’re wrong
Nas albums were going 2x platinum from 96-03 on every album besides nastradamus
Nas also was selling 350-450k during the 99-03 he even sold 300k first week in 2006. Not too many had a stretch of 5 2x platinum albums in their catalog.

Yeah idk what he’s talking about
Nas Iam sold damn near 500k first week is 3x platinum if he updated. More than jayz Vol3 in 99.

I was thinking overall. "Can I Get A" was the first single and did well, but "Hard Knock Life" was the song that pushed him to 5x platinum.

But yeah, on the day Vol. 2 dropped Nas was definitely the bigger artst. By the end of '99 it was a whole different story

Nas had jayz in the 90’s. Jayz got nas in the 00’s. Vol 2 success was a fluke, jay never touched those numbers again. Jayz stayed a 2-3x platinum rapper after vol 2.

Yeah by Vol 3 Hov was constantly outselling Nas. But idk why people think Nas never sold albums lol he always sold well even after 99.

Nas had jayz in 99. Jayz got nas in 00 when he dropped dynasty. In 99 Nas had 2 album go platinum and I am sold 470k first week and is eligible for 3x platinum. Nas also was right there with jayz in 01. Both albums went 2x platinum. Jayz really separated himself from nas in 03 with the black album.

Damn Taylor ain’t do 300k second week?
