Jay-Z Scores First Number One Record
November 18, 2009 @ 2:38 PM EST
News
Technically: Hov has topped the pop charts three times before, but all as a guest (MC’s “Heartbreaker”, B’s “Crazy In Love” and Ri-Ri’s “Umbrella”). “Empire State of Mind” is the man with 11 #1 albums, first #1 Hot 100 single from an actual Shawn Carter CD. Clap for him. Louder!
About time eh?
Didnt run this town go number 1?
Run this Town reached #2, but this goes to show the more you hate the stronger Jay gets.
Congrats!!!!!
Run This Town was #1 in the UK.
WHY SHOULD I CLAP? HE’S GARBAGE NOW. LYRICS ARE WEAK AND SLOPPY NOW. CAMEL TOE FACE MUDDAFUCCA. EVERYBODY IS ON THE JIGGA BANDWAGON NOW and HE AINT EVEN IN HIS PRIME NOW. ITS JUST THAT HEADS JUST WANNA BE ENTERTAINED NOW AND DONT WANNA ANYALYZE REAL RHYMES. COP THAT NEW CORMEGA IF U LIKE REAL SHIT. FUCK JAY-Z.
This is a Testament to having a great album opposed to just having a hot single. All jay-z albums have been solid and people buy it because of the body of work unlike other rappers who just focus on having two hot singles and the rest of the album is trash. Catch-up!
fuck ur favorite rapper says:

Save ur homo erotic rhetoric. Is this not important to post?
Men Lie, Women Lie and numbers dont!!! Hate on Jay all you wont but proof is proof!
i’ll applaud that. i’m cheering niggas on.
@B.Dot
yea…shits of utmost importance. iono, a rapper…a hip hop representative…one of our very own, has the most #1 albums of any solo artist in music history. how is it that niggas loathe Jay when he’s making moves on the culture’s behalf like that?
and this same nigga, after 11 #1 albums gets his first #1 single off a tribute to where it all began, for him AND the culture….and that ain’t news worthy? what a long road of hard work, consistency, triumph and blueprint laying for a whole generation of rappers+ to come. smh
y’all niggas baffle me…
I knew the song was tight, but its about one city, so i didn’t think it would be number 1. I thought run this town would have been a #1, but Black Eye Ps and Miley got in the way. Good music wins, Im happy for dude.
GET OVER THE STATS PEOPLE. WHEN UR FED SOMETHING TEN TIMES A DAY HOW COULD HE NOT HAVE THOSE NUMBERS? HE’S GOT A BIG MACHINE BEHIND HIM. HEADS ALWAYS QUICK TO CALL DUDES LIKE ME A JIGGA HATER BUT IM NOT. I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY, “YES” HE CAN PUT WORDS TOGETHER IN A RHYTMATICAL PATTERN BUT SUBSTANCE IS WEAK. THE LAST DOPE ALBUM HE HAD WAS STREETS IS WATCHING AND BEFORE THAT IT WAS REASONBLE DOUBT. DONT GET CAUGHT IN THE TREND WHETHER ITS FASHION OR MUSIC SUCKAS……YOU CAN QUOTE ME TOO I DONT GIVE A FUCK>>>>BLAOWWW!
Fuck ur favorite rapper must be a soulja boy fan.
Completely agree with Nathaniel. We should be proud of the artists that make the music we love.
No one else has done what he’s doing right now. Congrats Jay!!!
cosign Brooklyn Raw, SB, and Nathaniel, oh yeah B.dot and YN keep doing your thing! If haters don’t like go visit Bol he always has something negative to say about Jigga.
& to add. FUCK YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER.. I would love to know who you like in the game right now?
“THE LAST DOPE ALBUM HE HAD WAS STREETS IS WATCHING AND BEFORE THAT IT WAS REASONBLE DOUBT.” Say word…..even the biggest JAY-Z Haters wouldn’t agree with that statement. “A wise man told me don’t argue with fools because people from a distance can’t tell who is who” the more we argue and respond to this fool aka (fuck ur favorite rapper)the worst we look.
HEY BKLYN RAW. Im TOO OLD TO BE A SOULJA FAG FAN. I LISTEN TO THE GUTTER MUZIK. PLANET ASIAvsDJ MUGGS. NEW MOS DEF IS SICK. RAEKWON’s OBFCL II was OFF THE CHAIN. BLACROC IS GONNA BE 10x BETTER THAN THAT JAY CRAP. REAL STREET SHIT. NOT BUBBLE GUM POP BULLSHIT YOU SUCKAS LIKE.
SEE YOU DUDES WHO ARE 25 and YOUNGER I UNDERSTAND WHY U LIKE WHAY U LIKE CUZ THATS ALL U KNOW. ANYONE 25 and OLDER SHOULD KNOW BETTER….BTW RAPRADAR IS STILL A SICK SITE EVEN IF THEY BLOW JAY ON THE DAILY. HE AINT THE ONLY NEWS ON HERE. I MAY NOT LIKE ALL MUZIK OUT THERE BUT I STILL KNOW WHO’s WHO and WHAT’s WHAT…..
“gutter musik” “real street shit” Lol. you probably live in a suburb with white picket fences.
and you’re older than 25 with that grammar? go back to school homie. stay off that “gutter musik”

Yo mom would be ashamed to know what she created. Blacroc is more ROCK than Rap and its gutter?? And if you want to be in a gutter u go ahead pimp, I don’t need nobody to show me how to be dumb and broke that’s the easiest thing to be!
“IPO HOV no need to reverse mergers, ya boy money talk no need to converse further, baby blue maybach like I own Gerber, In the board room I’m lifting your skirt up, the Corporate Takeover!”
I’m sure half that shit went over your head but you can google what “IPO” means and you can go to dictionary.com and look up what a merger is… with yo old dumb ass

**THIS IS ALL A FACT**
JAY Z IS “ONE OFFHIP HOPS BIGGEST AND BEST EVER ARTIST”
BUT HE AINT AS BIG OF MUSIC ARTIST HE HAS HARDLY SOLD ANY ALBUMS NOR HAS HE GOT INTERNATIONAL APPEAL
ONLY UNTILL BP3 HAS JAY Z HAD ANY INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL SUCCES WITH HIS MUSIC IN TERMS OF HIT SINGLES!
BEFORE “RUN THIS TOWN” THE GENERAL PUBLIC DONT REALY KNOW ABOUT JAY Z. HE IS ONLY BEEN BIG IN THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY
IN ENGLAND AND AUSTRALIA BOTH PLACES WHERE I LIVE JAY Z IS NOT KNOWN BY GENERAL PEOPLE. OUTSIDE FROM THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE SOME ARTISTS SUCH AS 50 CENT EMINEM SNOOP DOGG WHO HAVE ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES AS HOUSEHOLD NAMES
WORLDWIDE WEATHER THE PEOPLE LISTEN HIP HOP OR NOT THEY WILL KOW ABOUT 50 EM N SNOOP
INTERNATIONALY JAY Z IS KNOWN AS MR BEYONCE KNOWLES… LMAO
HE IS NOT THAT BIG OF A ARTIST IN THE MUSIC WORLD AS U AND I MAY SEEM HE IS
how many do nasir have? lol
ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT WHEN ELVIS, ROLLING STONES, AND THE BEATTLES ARE MENTIONED HOV IS MENTIONNED FROM NOW ON IN THE SAME CIRCLE SO FUCK WHAT U GOT TO SAY!!!HE FUCKS WITH D’EVIL…FINE (THAT’S HIS LIFE…MIND YOUR BUSINESS)
You’re right, definitely not a term paper.
You’re simply a DUMBASS.
@ jay z fucking with d’evils. I dnt know what you mean by facts. Unless you have a survey or some form of research backed up by credible data, then your statements are not facts but a mere opinion of someone who is very young or has been living under a rock.
Fact- Jay-z had Cross-over, international success with Volume 2 Hard Knock life lead by the name sake massive single.
This was 1998.
RapRadar is afucking fan website.. as much as I love Jay-Z even I have some integrity/objectivity to my “stan”
just say congratulations hov and move on to the next Hov blog post o the day shit. what will you cover when the album falls off.. better start thinking about that. SMH
oh and CONGRATULATIONS HOV *claps*… *gets side eye from RR* *claps harder, louder and faster*
damn..
Props to Jay, thats what i thought we were hear for
not to argue with “fuck your favourite rapper”
GET OVER THE STATS PEOPLE. WHEN UR FED SOMETHING TEN TIMES A DAY HOW COULD HE NOT HAVE THOSE NUMBERS? HE’S GOT A BIG MACHINE BEHIND HIM.
^
i thought Hov was independant? The big machine is him. Retard. And for anybody hating on Hov needs to go pickup the BP3 and take out the booklet and read what it says on the back cover. real boss status.
5555
*rolls eyes*
@ jay z fucking with d’evils.
good job reading or listening to what 50cent said about jay a day or two ago and then repeating it here like its some shit YOU came up with or like its facts??? lmfao. Do you realize how big of a fucking clown that makes you?
reevaluate your life.
he’s still number 2..YES NUMBER 2. He’s at 1.25 milli in the US, while Em is at 1.5 milli
ONCE AGAIN..EMINEM > Jay-Z. ONCE AGAIN INTERSCOPE RUN THIS SHIT!!!

THE REMIX: JAY-Z AND NAS ON “EMPIRE STATE OF MIND”
That is right.
You know what it is.
You are going to LOVE THIS.
JAY-Z AND NAS WILL JOIN FORCES FOR A REMIX OF EMPIRE STATE OF MIND.
You heard it here first, my friends. Tell ‘em illseed told you! As you already know, there have been rumors that Nas was supposed to be on the original version, which is a very loose ode to his “New York State of Mind.” From various interviews, we’ve noticed that Nas has eluded the notion that he was unavailable for the original. I suppose this matters not at this point. All that matters is that FANS ARE IN FOR A TREAT!
Classic shit on the way
