@ just to make a buck,
those suckers knew what they were doing when they planned 2 put that shit in the inner cities across AmeriKKKa
theDAMNtruth.NET:
OK, since you mu'fuckas don't get it, I guess I need to say it like this.
Kingdom Come sold ungoldy amounts of records...EARLY and then it was a slow burn after that because that nigga lied about being retired and you idiots bought into it.
American Gangster is about where Jay is going to sell for now on in this stage of his career. The only way that he can sell more is if he pulls a "Wayne" (sad) and tries to hold up and hope that he can release a project when one the economy picks up or two, when his name is buzzing again, because niggas aint checking for Jay like how they used to.
Oh yeah, and nigga, ANYBODY can break a fuckin' record if you DROP ON A SPECIFIC DAY! Hell, lets see how many straight number one hits that nigga would have if he dropped on the same day as Kanye, or a 50 during his prime, or any white pop act and/or soundtrack that sells ridiculous numbers from the mainstream.
Get Jay dick outta ya ass and realize that his "BRAND" and his NAME is what is pushing him now and not a buzz for his music per say. Its the fact that the nigga is married to America's pop princes, the fact that lame ass niggas like y'all are still blinded by the fact that this nigga isn't smart for his business moves, but smart because he knows how to work lame ass niggas into thinking that he smarter than he really is..he knows how to work the fuckin' system, thats it and for that, he is the man....
I wonder when Jay drops, who is he going to drop on the same day as because it will NOT for sure be a U2, Highschool musical type of act....it will be against some underground/under promoted rap artist and some second rate R&B star like a Shanice come back album or some type shit like that lol....
String of number 1 albums my dick.....

JOE 6 PACK NC336GBORO THE BLOGGER:
oh yea thats is 100% TRU my g
just to make a buch:
yeah man, its all love... i love bumpin shit like that sometimes, it all has its time and place, its just fucked up what it can lead to
just to make a buck:
oh, and how did i forget, who really controls the drug trade? hmmmmmm... i'll let you figure that one out on your own, i'll give you a hint though; its a three letter acronym for an intelligence agency that starts with C and ends in A. seriously though, look the shit up, do your own research, check sources, check everything. the shit is scary, not cool to even think about or even acknowledge at first but the only way to freedom is through truth. you need to know whats going on so you can make the right choices in life for yourself and your family
ACBurgess:
To the Rapper's Rapper...I know ur comment is said with a bit of humor, but I feel you 100%!! Were/How to do separate the art and culture of Hip Hop, from the business side that expliots a whole community? Because it's clear, what sells, and what's REAL are 2 completely different genre's.
JOE 6 PACK NC336GBORO THE BLOGGER:
i can dig it my g no beef
i like dude trap or die mixtape and his first album and thats it
just to make a buck:
@ joe
yeah they are, amongst many other things, all of which the system i'm talking about these fools playing into controls. and look at dude's name, Snowman, come on. Lets brand this idea of what it takes to be successful and sell it to a population that for the most part isn't smart enough to see through it. and that's just a simple part of the psychology of this specific example. sell drugs = success. interesting how over 60% of those incarcerated are non-violent drug offenders. interesting how the vast majority of people arrested are white but the vast majority incarcerated are minorities. interesting how a good chunk of prisons are straight up corporate owned business that make money off of how many inmates they house because they make these inmates work for pennies a day. sounds like a new slave system to me. and once again this is just a small part of all it. people need to know about this shit so they can stop playing into it, brother.
here's a couple books that might help you connect the dots...
can't stop won't stop by Jeff Chang
why white kids love hip-hop by Bakari Kitwana
crossing the rubicon by mike ruppert
LAMEKILLA:
Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Young Jeezy....HIP HOP my a**, these dudes are the worst!! How about taking on a legitimate client, and popping it off for them to put the music back where it belongs?
Dre Guevara:
@ The Rapper's Rapper,
