Of course Jigga should destroy NAs in sales, i have no idea how his last album didn't kill NAs' in terms of sales.......i mean, even being a huge fan of nas, i know he sucks at commercial tracks while Jay is arguably the king of them.....They are actually two completely different artists, as Jay is awesome at commercial/party tracks while NAs is dope with political songs and true hiphop songs.......i like NAs more, but Jay has his place too in my mind. Too bad that when one is talked about the other always has to be brought up........i mean, both are great artists, but they just excel at different aspects in rap........By the way, fuck sales.....who cares if Jay's single is burnin up the charts, if NAs woulda came with a jackep Pac song for his single, or a song with JA, i woulda boycotted his album like any self-respecting nas fan (i by no means love his single, but i am pleased he didn't sell out after joining the INC)
Blueprint is officially CERTIFIED double platinum while Stillmatic is still only platinum plus Iwhether it has sold 2 million i cant say-its just not official last i checked). ALSO-Nas had a reissue with a slightly altered track listing and a preview of the Lost Tapes---which increased sales for Stillmatic and would obviously cause some multi purchases of the album from dedicated fans.

I know it was pretty close...
JOME, R u talking about me or NIK on your last post? I mean, i don't think most of my posts are bullshit? If its not directed towards me, its all good man, peacep.s.- jome, you are right, jay z is a much better business man and has more drive than most artists. When i first heard IZZo, i thought it was OVER man, i thougt that was gonna be the biggest single ever and jay was gonna sell like 6-7 million. NOt sure what happened, but for sure he will kill NAs in sales this time, especially by looking at the first singles. Nas should know his role and not make commercial songs in my opinion.......as he mostly sucks at them .
