  14. Brick says:

    @bossuppp, I was just about to type that, but you beat me to it. Jay’s been saying that for years now, plus I think he’s referring to the numbers of votes he got to get the award. But as usual, people wanna be startin’ somethin (Michael Jackson)

  15. CheWithBlingOn says:

    bossupp it’s definitely a shot at 50 and a good one at that. just because he been saying it forever don’t make it less of a shot at him.
    I thought it was hilarious especially with that evil ass laugh at the end

  16. bossuppp says:

    YO=HATER!….JAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL AND 50 CENT WILL SUFFER ON THE FORBES LIST WORRYING BOUT HIS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HE’S WORTH COMIN FROM SOUTHSIDE JAMAICA QUEENS…OK U RITE..

  17. deeznuts says:

    and by numbers i guess jay means the thousands of records his label bought of blueprint 3…..

  18. M85 says:

    The laugh alone was worth it…some may say fif got less albums and more sales..but we kno that’s off alot of hype “the guy who got shot nine times” the “eminem cross over cosign”…and ok fifty is talented but if we talkin a career a body of work that defines any artist in any genre through longevity growth and relevence how could you hate on hov…especially when he makes and that hip hops only boundaries are the ones we put on it..and besides do you really think there will b 11 fifty albums? Of course fifty got enough money already but his music ain’t gonna b relevent 10 hrs from now..not hatn on fif but not everyone is timeless…of course some of yall will hate on this but deep down you kno better

  19. dILLingerman says:

    NIGGGA IM JUS GIVIN U DA FACTS HOMIE….50 CENT WUDA PROLLY BEEN A BILLIONAIRE IF HE WAS HERE FOR 14 YRS…JAY-Z 40…50 CENT 32..HE GOT 8 YEARS TO KEEP GETTIN MORE N MORE MONEY TO TO 40…CMON SON

    MEN LIE WOMEN LIE NUMBERS DONT SHOT AT 50 SMH

  21. iCandy says:

    qtip.. responded on his page. enough beef, unprovoked attacks. He came back with reason.. and he makes sense. enough damn beef.. Hov is above all of this and I’m glad QTip clarified his statements.

  22. sideshowRaheem says:

    @deeznuts

    Funny how all you dudes just follow after 50 like a bunch of sheep. Stop accusing labels of buying records unless you have some evidence to back that shit up. 50 said that shit along time ago and provided no proof, years later still no proof and niggas still repeating it like its fact……get a new catch phrase.

  23. cpmedia81 says:

    i come from an era where money is bullshit.. besides 50 got rich quicker than joe camel satan batty riding ass

  24. Yardie_ute says:

    @ Rhyme
    Nope, 50 and Jay not in the same league.
    Jay z the greatest rapper alive 50 is not
    Jay z is well respected and even revered in the rap and corporate world. 50 is not.(50 is tolerated because of his antics, he behaves like a little 5 year old girl)
    Jay z knows the President. 50 does not
    The President listens to Jay Z. he doesn’t listen to 50
    Jay z connects with the most powerful people in the world, 50 connects with gangsters and drug dealers (Well..According to him)
    Jay z got beyonce, 50 run’s around with Ross’s Baby Mother
    Jay z got classic Albums, Classic Songs. 50 has none (Maybe GRODT, it’s debatable cos this was built on beef)
    Jay z made his wealth in a time when hip hop was not as well received as it is during 50′s time and still ended up being wealthier than 50.

    50′s success is a direct result of pioneers like Jay-z’s efforts but yet Jay z still manages to out shine 50 who should have had the game in a choke hold after GRODT.

    Conclusion
    Jay z the King 50 di jester

  25. iCandy says:

    oppopop you need to wip that qtip baby juice off your chin before you talk to me.. hate is hate I don’t care if Qtip created Hip Hop.. if he’s taking jabs at Jays words.. it’s unecessary and childish since I’m sure he knows how to phone Jay-Z.

    That being said, he clarified his tweet. and life goes the fuck on. Now you can go back to gargling his nut. you ass.

  26. bossuppp says:

    thats all speculations from HATERSS!!!! sayin fif wont have 11 albums…maybe he wont neeed all that…he already sold more records and is more popular overseas than jayz and like more in hiphop than jayz…..within the indusrty niggaz talk greezy bout jay…trust dat…he aint for hiphop he for w.e it takes to keep him hot…fif got stay hood stay true to wat got him here whether he keeps sellin or not…he came in the game for money power and respect and not one of u jayz fans cant tell me he aint got it

  27. F*** YALL says:

    50 sold becuz he got shot 9 times everybody nows that niggas u the wimp brah

  28. Van Sertima says:

    take down that shit of Aaron Reid, that shit is disgusting b.

  29. Rhyme says:

    ^Em is the best rapper alive, NUFF SAID.
    “Men lie women lie, numbers don’t”
    EM 60 Million records sold, they stated that tonight at the AMA’s.

  30. PHENOMENON says:

    . . .And “The Price Is Right” FAIL Horns play for 5O.

  31. M85 says:

    @ yardie
    I think that sums it up^^^

  32. cat says:

    Jay MURKED Curtis on a big three national network while Curtis was a few dozen feet behind him.

    And he did it subliminally without naming names — so it can’t get back to him.

    Learn, brothers. Learn.

  33. yung Dummy says:

    doesnt that meen he just bodied his self, eminem should have won that award because Relapse sold more then BP3. Hov u a dummy

  34. teejay says:

    50 earned his sales, and jay earned his. but for the numbers dont lie thing, jay may have beaten 50 this year, but off 4 records pushing more than jay has with 11 can’t be ignored. I dont buy the numbers argument from jay.

    granted doesnt mean i think 50 would/will win a battle with jay, just dont get with the numbers argument. just a slick line from jay

  35. bossuppp says:

    to yardie…NIGGA GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN IS BETTER THAN ANYYYYYYY JAYZ ALBUM…R U STUPID?? DAMN U RELE ON JIGGAZ NUTS……AND 50 AINT RESPECTED IN THE CORPORATE WORLD? LMAO ANOTHER DUM COMMENT….AND OF COURSE OBAMA RATHER LISTEN TO JAY…LOOK WAT 50 CENT RAPS ABOUT..HIS UPBRINGING….OBAMA AND JAYZ PROLLY HAD THE SAME UPBRININGS LOL

  36. Rhyme says:

  40. M85 says:

    @ bossup
    umm if pple were still gonna buy his music fifty would drop 11 albums..it’s the fact that because of the lack of growth in his music he won’t be able to…fif don’t approach this as art to him it’s the money..this the same guy durin the sales fight wit kanye said he who sellsthe most is the best rapper..which is bull…but now he can’t even do that…yea he got money aight cool but when it comes to this music he is average at best…50 is never in the top MC convo…and maybe he don’t care…but his name don’t even come up when it’s jus bout the music

  41. Trouble says:

  44. F*** YALL says:

  45. Van Sertima says:

    How are you going to say Curtis isn’t representing the corporate world? That nigga is Mr. Corporate America: multi million dollar deals; book deals, movie deals, clothes, etc. Curtis reeks of the corporate to the point that he literally put that shit in a bottle is selling it at macy’s. there’s nothing wrong with that but let’s not be delusional. imsayin.

  46. Yardie_ute says:

    “to yardie…NIGGA GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN IS BETTER THAN ANYYYYYYY JAYZ ALBUM…R U STUPID??”
    That was the stupidest comment I have ever heard from a rap blogger. I could never be so biased.

    @Bossup I just have a quick question for you. How old are you?
    When did you start listening to rap? I think it must be 2003.
    If that’s the case then we not on the same level and Imma start jumping over your comments.

  47. bossuppp says:

    @ M85….I GET YA POINT BUT HEY..JAY-Z WAS THE PRESIDENT OF DEF JAM..U KNOOO HE PUT ALLL THE MARKETING DOLLARS IN HIS ALBUMS HE DROPPED ON THERE…I MEAN THE NIGGA ON BILL MAHER….OPRAHH!!!! I SAID OPRAH!!!!!! AND ALL HE CUD DO WAS 400,000 PLUS FIRST WEEK? COME ON…U CANT IGNORE THE FACT THAT FIFTY FIRST 3 ALBUMS OUTSOLD “THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE” 11 TOTAL ALBUMS!!

  48. F*** YALL says:

  50. M85 says:
