Jay-Z Debuts at #1 with Kingdom Come

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  222 Comments

jay_close.jpgAs expected, Jay-Z’s comeback LP Kingdom Come dominated this week’s charts, moving just over 680,000 copies and landing at #1 on the pop charts, according to SoundScan. The album marks Jay’s emergence from a self-imposed retirement that he announced in 2003 shortly before releasing his last record The Black Album. Snoop Dogg also makes a strong debut this week with his latest project, The Blue Carpet Treatment, which scanned around 264,000 units and will debut in the #5 spot. The latest posthumous Tupac album, Pac’s Life, which features guest appearances from some of the industry’s biggest names, sold just under 160K and will land at #9. Elsewhere on the charts we see The Game’s sophomore offering, The Doctor’s Advocate, scan an additional 134 copies in its second week in stores to bring it to a total just north of 493K.

    game shouldve kept his mouth shut

  • Youngmitens2

    Not 850k but he did his numbers….

  • http://XXLMAG BiG GEE

    First. Hip-Hop is alive and breathing. Young Jeezy, Clipse, Game, Lil Wayne, Fabolous and last but not least the G.O.A.T on the way NAS so as long as the number add up Hip-Hop is alive.

  • http://www.myspace.com/freshmakerodbeatz lukee lefty

    damn it went from 850k to 708k now 630k ??? still the best in hiphop, and the album is better than a lot of the bullshit put out this year

  • GA SLIM

    That Jay-Z album is weak, but ok. everyone sales fall off in the second week. its going to be a hard road for Game to go Plat, but record sales don’t make you the best rapper. p.s. long live the south

    Thank God.

  • crack

    he just barely passed “king” which is a far superior album

  • dede

    I knew Jay-Z wasn’t going to sell 850,000 in one week…those Get Rich or Die Tryin numbers are over…

    Looks like JT can outsell anyone this year

    Clipse = 200,00 first week

    Nas = 200,000 first week

  • ricochet

    the king is back!!

  • High Def

    Jays album is a banger…people are gettin used to that bull shit hip hop thats out now so they cant appreciate real hip hop when it comes along.
    ITS THE R.O.C.

  • hahaha!

  • skip

    ??? CATS ON HERE FLIP-FLOP MORE THAN A FISH OUT OF WATER.

  • jonjon–23

    There’s a reason it’s #1 on the “pop” charts. He tapped the white audience (which is smart on his part) and that’s where big record sales come from. It doesn’t really matter if the album is garbage.

  • DAT NIGGA J-QUAN

    JAYZ CANT RAPP 4 SHYT ITS DIPSET ALL DAY EVERY DAY FUCK JAYZ DAT NIGGA NEED 2 TAKE DA DICK OUT HIS MOUTH AND JUST STAY RETIRED 4 GOOD!!!!!

  • MITCHELL

    “30 Something” is the coolest song I have heard in a long time. Jim Jones is extreamly stupid for dissen Jay because Jay is at his best on diss tracks.

  • Killa

    680,000 lmao at Doja telling jay to push back

    dig a hole gayme

  • let the game begin

    I jus hope jim jones and he’s friends will shut up now.cuz there’s nothing left for them to say but i still can’t stop laughing at that x-mas song by jim jones and friends that shit was daim funny.

  • Krazyrodzilla

    LETS NOT FORGET IT WAS THE BIGGEST SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR (BLACK FRIDAY) WHICH HELP ALL THE SALES.

  • Tyler

    Good 4 Jay Z . . Great for hip hop. . Now I hope Nas album is bangin as well. Peep the musical heat and vibes at:

  • content

    the album is better than this site gives it credit for (wonder why?).

    Jay makes good hip hop music and good hip hop music is hard to come by these days.

  • JOe

    Damn Game two weeks of sales and Jay still beat you by about 200,000. Plus its christmas time and everybody going to be asking for that Jay-Z album. Looks like Kingdom Come will top Vol 2 as Jay’s highest selling album. If you dont got it go pick it up because the ablum is crazy.

  • Hannah Smith

    Doubt it’ll top two million sales, to be honest, especially once the magazine reviews are out.

    Jigga should now go away for good and let us enjoy the next generation like Saigon, Papoose and Kidz In The Hall.

  • Atl’s own

    Jigga tryin’ to brang y’all back wit dem #’s.

    the album is good, not great but it is better than most albums dis year!

    I can only think of 5 i liked better!

    King(TI) > St.Elsewhere(Cee-lo) > Idlewild(Outkast)[the rap songs] > Doctor’s Advocate(Game) > Blue Carpet(Snoop) > Kingdome Come(HOV) > all other releases i’ve heard this year

  • Atl’s own

    make that 6

    forgot LUDACRIS: Release Therapy

  • ethan ramirez

    I THINK THIS ALBUM IS WEAK… JAY-Z MAY HAVE SOLD RECORDS BUT LYRICALLY HE AINT THAT GOOD. I THINK HE PUT UP 10 TRACK LISTINGS AND 3 BONUS TRACKS PREVIOUSLY RECORDED. THATS IT. AND THE BEATS SOUND LIKE ITS MORE OF THE WESTCOAST STYLE (I WONDER)I THINK THE GAME SOUNDED BETTER ON THE KINGDOM COME BEAT TITLED “THE SOUNDSCAN” JAY-Z SHOULD GET A ROCKING CHAIR FOR THE RETIREMENT HOME. STICK BEHIND THE DESK! HOVA

  • 420PURP

    GAME SOLD JUST ABOUT THE SAME ON HIS SECOND WEEK THAN BANKS DID IN HIS FIRST!!!

  • Adam

    Everyone bought Kingdom Come because its the new Jay-Z album and thats the only reason. Compared to his other stuff this album is garbage. Game couldn’t match Jigga’s sales in two weeks, but it would take Jigga two years to make a better album than Doctor’s Advocate.

    Sorry to say it, but when your first single samples Wrexx n’ Effects, you have officially fallen off

  • H-MAN

    WHOS YA DADDY????? YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES…tha King of tha K…Get’em J….EEurika…ya done strick gold baby…I like that, I like that, I like that…wherez tha money at???Shout out 2 Snooooooooop…ouch Game, got spanked, go ahead, dig a hole…hahahaha…Nas iz in tha on deck circle…Got that green light 2 swing away????

  • A-Mac

    Who’s mad now fuck The Game who can’t sell without dre or 50 cent,Jim Jones who drops about three albums a years all of them together are gold, and the whole dipset them niggas cant go platinum catch up Hova is BACK

  • the truth

    Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t!!! This is Hov’s ninth #1 release which ties him with The Rolling Stones for third place all time (behind Elvis & the Beatles). Since he’s in a class with the legendary ‘Stones’ he should retire when they do…NEVER!

  • ethan ramirez

    OUT OF A 10 I GIVE IT A 3

  • Biggie aka 2G

    Get the fuck out the throne the king back. Fuck Dip Set and that weak shit they doing. U can add the whole Dip Set Camp sales up and they still wont surpass what Jigga has done Vol. 2 or the Blueprint 2 So fuck what u saying or anybody else saying because MEN Lie, WOMEN lie, Numbers Don’t.

  • DREDRICK TATUM

    THIS MAKES ME APPRECIATE WHAT 50 HAS DONE EVEN MORE! HIS FIRST ALBUM DID OVER 870,000 THE 1ST WEEK. HE SOLD OVER 1 MIL THE 1ST WEEK FOR HIS SECOND ALBUM.

  • Chris Villain

    jigga was supposed to go platinum in his first week with all the promotion this album got….Kingdom has to be the most highly publicized and promoted album ever…jigga had ESPN and the NFL halftime show Promotin his album…everywhere you look you saw some sort of Jigga Kingdom Come Billboard……I Think Jay-z is the greatest ever, but doctors advocate is better than this…the best track on Kingdom come is the intro……Just Blazes production almost buried jiggas album in the ground…thank GOD for Jay-zs content or else this wud be a dud

  • ghost

    i dont see y hiz new cd sold so many. from what i hear it sucks dick. doctorz advocate iz tha real shit right now.

    westcoast!!

  • Bfm

    Kingdom Come is one of the worst hip hop album’s of the year, hes lucky he came out of retirment when he put out this BS or it woulden’t go gold, what an awful album

  • H-MAN

    Retire???? that will B a cold day in hell…NEVER…Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t!!! This is Hov’s ninth #1 release which ties him with The Rolling Stones for third place all time (behind Elvis & the Beatles). Since he’s in a class with the legendary ‘Stones’ he should retire when they do…NEVER…Yall DIE

  • Interscope Taylor

    no matter how much betta da game’s album iz, jigga has proved one thing and dat iz he will always SELL. my hats off to the SECOND best rapper alive (best one is Nas).

  • flyboi4life

    I think the album is nice. the blueprint and black album were better but its still nice. he did 680k thats hard to do with all of the illegal downloading and stuff. in this album jay was lyrically on fire. and he is still the president!

  • INTERSCOPE JACKSON

    Jay put up decent numbers 680 K but not amazing after all that promo

    THIS MAKES ME APPRECIATE WHAT 50 HAS DONE EVEN MORE!
    HIS FIRST ALBUM DID OVER 870,000 THE 1ST WEEK.
    HE SOLD OVER 1.14 MILLION THE 1ST WEEK FOR HIS SECOND ALBUM.

    HOLLY ISH, 50 IS DA MAN

  • low

    akon has sold about 450,000 records in 2 weeks! Damn impressive

  • J

    All you “critics” need to go back to the movie theatres, where your reviews are worthwhile. You can’t stop a living legend, and still the King of rap music, from outselling everyone in the game. Knock the beats and lyrics all you want, but pound for pound he’s still doing it bigger and better than anyone. Too bad some of you fake hip-hop fans can’t appreciate maturity on an album.

  • http://itsme40calkissyahoo.com DOCDIGGY

    maybe my expectations were too high, because he didnt really do it for me on this one. guess i’ll have to wait for jeezy, styles, and nas. and o yea, more fish

  • AJTHROWBACK

    Jay-Z may not have the best rap album of the year lyrically, but he’s on pace to have the quickest (and possibly) and highest selling rap album this year–even more than KING. Jay went gold his first week and 320,000 units away from platinum, which I’m sure that he’ll sell in the next two or three weeks. I don’t know if I agree with Joe in saying that this will top HARD KNOCK LIFE, VOL. 2 in sales because that album was way better than KINGDOM COME, but it will probably go down as one of his top-selling albums regardless.

    P.S. I agree with a lot of people on here that Game stepped out there and not knowing truly who his competition was. Game had the privilege of coming out with his first album post-BLACK ALBUM and pre-KINGDOM COME, so he had a good opportunity to get his couple of million records sold. Now it’s gonna be harder for him to do that now that Jay is back in town…

    dude, vanilla ice and mc hammer both put up ridiculous numbers like that, does that make them better rappers? no, bow wow’s last album sold more than method man’s last lp, record sells dont determine who’s better. 50 was just a fad, fad come and they go, 50 is going…

  • BRUCESTEVENZ

    aright dick rider, . . .50 came in the game when everyone was looking for the next bad boy pac imaged artist and he just got shot and was poppin’ off at tha mouth but what was his second album sales like after people found out most of that shit was a gimmick jay is tha truth ignorant hip hop heads don’t see this is a GROWN ASS MAN spittin’ so of course those wit low intelligence aint gonna feel tha album he dumbed down on other albums for the sake of widespread allure: most people are ignorant so give em that ignorant shit they need. . . Kingdom come is a solid piece of work for jigga . . so in lue of lil niggas i can only view lil niggas like . . lil niggas

  • The Rza, The Razor

    This is wack… This is by far Jay’s worst album he has ever released… There has been at least 10 LP’s to come out this year better than this crapola, and this goes like 600K, how lame.

  • shadyrecords

    Give jay his props 680k in first week aint bad,but when eminem drops his next album not the re-up his next solo album i guarantee it sells more than jay in its first week

  • Big Tone

    Kingdom Come is a good album. But its just that…….good. But not the usual Jay Z. The album is a litte too commercial for me. I really thought Jay was going to hit us in the head. I thought Show Me What You Got was a single to get people to listen. But the track with Beyonce, Usher, the chick on Lost Ones. It’s not the Jay Z we are used to.

  • Young

    OMG LOLOLOL THESE DUDES OR SO LAME 680,000 ALL THAT CARP GAME WAS TALKIN J SHOULD BE TRIPPIN OFF SNOOP LOLOL YEAH RIGHT GAME CD OK BUT WHEN YALL GET DONE HATEIN MEN LIE WOMEN LIE NUMBERS DONT NO.1 AND THERES NOWAY GAME SALEIN 5MILLION LOLOL J KEEP CHANGEIN THE GAME F THE HATERS THE CD DOPE 1-14 KEEP KILLIN EM….

  • slobbythegreat

    hahahaha everyone on here is funny, talking bout how garbage the album is King better Dr Advocate better, who gives a fuck, its jay z! and 50 will always outsell Jay and Game cos 50 got the little 5 yo white kids copping his shit, you cant compare, and comparing Just Timberlake sales to hip hop, you cunts must be so fucking stupid, you cant do that cos timberlake got every audience covered u stupid fucks, just use some logic and common sense before you post.

  • http://www.myspace.com/gopentertainment Sayso is Donny Slaughter

    myspace.com/gopentertainment Check it out and cop it from cdbaby.com/sayso

    I checked Jay’s shyt out and it ain’t bad, I like it, but to me its typical Jay shyt, which is why I think muphuckaz hatin’ on Jay, it’s hard to stay on top 10 years with tha same shyt, but that’s where he set tha bar, and he ain’t raisin’ it, cuz muphuckaz ain’t gettin’ it, and wit bootleg cd’s draggin’ down sales, maybe no one will!!! How many cd’s did Doggystyle sell it’s first week out??? Kinda hard goin’ platinum with all tha piracy!!! But Cam can’t see them numbers in total sales, phuckin’ bum, pink bubble gum rappin’ ass!!! I did notice on Jays’ shyt that he started with a skit from Supafly, on his intro like I did, but mine sounds better!!!LOL!!!

    504, when Lil Wayne run off 10 years on top like Jay did, then he’ll compare, not to say he ain’t tight now, but it only take one bad cd, for muphuckaz to throw U under tha bus!!! I do got Wayne being tha next but give him time becuz before Tha Carter, yo boy was slippin’!!!

  • fan z Polski

    Which track y’all think is the best on Kingdom Come?

  • Izy

    people love to kick the guy at the top. j’s album is just not for the clubs, people mistake that for a bad album. i think other than maybe two songs (the one with usher and the one with beyonce are not that good), that he has a great album. like everyone says, compared to the garbage that is out it is cool to hear someone sayin something…got good credit and such! baby boy cuz i’m all grown up! DON’T HATE!

    Ok Jay-Z sold 680,000 first week and The Game sold 358,000 first week but I don’t think that tell me who had the better album between the two. Yeah The Game said Dr.Dre name like 100 times but track for track The Game’s album is better. Jay-Z best song is Kingdom Come or Lost One. The Game best song is Why You Hate The Game or One Blood. Worst Jay-Z song The Prelude or no disrespect to N.O. Minority Report. For The Game it’s between Scream On Em or Remedy. I got both album’s and I ain’t hating on Jay-Z but I would pick Doctor’s Advocate over Kingdom Come. If no one is with me on that, that’s ok that’s just what I think. I only got one thing to say “Why You Hate The Game” I’m out!

    There’s a reason it’s #1 on the “pop” charts. He tapped the white audience (which is smart on his part) and that’s where big record sales come from. It doesn’t really matter if the album is garbage.

    If he got the number one pop record, but his album’s hip hop then he’s got the number one Hip Hop record too. Glad to see they did the same thing to Game they did to Banks, big first week, but out the top ten the next week. Game doing his thing, but first he didn’t sell 5 million world wide, 4 million and some change. I seriously doubt he’s going to match his G-unit/Aftermath cd in numbers. The whole reason for comming out the week before black friday is to get your numbers in and then do another big week. 134,078 is good, but you had a 63% drop on Black Friday you were looking for a stable number 30-40% drop. Geffen better get to work, because 63% drop isn’t looking good if you want 5 million. Again props to Jay for crushing Dipset yearly numbers his first week.

    doctors advocate is not that hot of an album the beats helped alot cause every other verse is about how he aint work with dre on it jay’s shit was hot but threw everybody off because yall thought he wa come back rapping bout the same shit he always do

    p.s. ti’s king album was not fire by nomeans 4 to 5 tracks top on there 1

  • http://yahoo.com jasiya

    H TO THE IZZO V TO THE IZZA……NOW THE ALBUM ISNT BETTER THEN THE BLACK ALBUM BUT ITS A GOOD LOOK FOR A COMEBACK ALBUM, NOW WHENEVER HE REALEASES HIS NEXT ONE WILL BE A CLASSIC…..

  • jo jo

    kingdom come is prabably his worst album to this day….that album sales will go down a lot because it had a lot of hype….i bought it and i rather listen to the classic doctors advocate.

  • Tukrazy

    I don’t see why everybody is saying this is a weak album. It’s not a classic, but the only album better than it this year was KING. I think this album went over niggas heads. Yall need to realize this is not a 20 year old hungry kid fresh off the street. This nigga is a boss! Jay knew the whole world would be watching and he tried some new shit, gotta respect the moves.

    The Game’s album mostly sounds like a gangsta rap throwback album and a love letter to Dre. He got some heaters on there, but this nigga must be the most gangster nigga EVER with a butterfly tatted on his face.

    “Don’t talk to me ’bout emcees got skills, he’s allright, but he’s not real”

  • az_side

    jay-z album was good but i think the games album was way better…sorry but game put down them tracks and to be honest i got terid of listen the jay-z half way trew the cd….but i am not hatin just telling the truth!!! but got love for both rappers….so to me sales dont matter but how the quality of the album

  • Dean

    Jay-Z is overratted, but I guess Hova ain’t Ova. In my opinion He did’nt deserve the numbers he got, I hated the new album but looking forward to Nas new album.

    on to the hater’s ( G-unit fanboy’s) bagging out Game.

    Shit Game almost sold more in his second week then Banks did in his first Doctors Advocate will reach Platinum status in the U.S and 2x Platinum world wide, Not Documentary numbers but not bad considering Dr. Dre wasn’t producing on the shit.
    He can still do impressive numbers without them.

    By the way I heard the Re-Up don’t waste your money that shit is garbage it should’ve stayed a street mixtape but people still would’ve thought it was shit. Listen before you buy.

  • shadyzaftermath

    what’s game gonna say now 2 50? droppn 63 percent aftr only ovr 300k in your first week aint a good look when mr. gunot said a million his first week out…. game floppd .. lets see him make anothr song named Soundscan..

  • http://www.myspace.com/thaanswermikeyd Dip Set City

    Wow it only took years away from recording, a retirement, a comeback, huge promotion, constant media hype, and ignoring everyone else on Def Jam to make his sales. HAHA, too bad there is about 500,000 disappointed suckers out there sittin’ on a garbage album.

  • Southside4Life

    I like Kingdom Come, but pound for pound The Game Album is better. So is Snoop’s. I would even say The Doctor’s Advocate is better than the Documentary based on lyrical content alone. I believe Jay should stay behind the desk and focus on Nas’ album instead of pushing it back 2 release his. I haven’t heard all of Nas’ Lp, but I believe it will be the best record of the year.

  • sveezy21

    HOV did it again. Not his best work……..but still off the chain. SOUTHSIDE4LIFE is right tho…….Nas’ album is gonna be the best of the year.
    Mad love for Jay and the Game

  • IstayreppinVA

    Let’s Get Somethin Straight……….

    1. There are some white ppl that will buy ANYBODY’S ALBUM So don’t try and say all white ppl bought jay’s album w/o considering whyt ppl bought games,snoop,banks, or anybody else ppl wanna hate on……

    2. Jay’s album was…..different–He kinda went sideways, and lost himself in tha beat, but it was a different album……

    3. Even tho i’m lookin 4ward to Nas album, im not sure it will sell as much as ppl hope(PROVE ME WRONG, GO COP IT IN STORES)

    and oh ya not that this has anything to do with the charts but……….Its STILL MURRRRRRRDDDDAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Return of The Inc in 07 for all you non-believers and haters!!! (and for anyone who forgot that Ja made 50!!)

  • http://www.jumman.com bigarsenal

    this that shit i cant stand if you dont like jay-z just let it be that. when black album came out everybody was like its doin them numbers cause its his last album just face it the man got lyrics. this what you do find the lyrics to all his songs on his album and read them. let me put this in he comes up with these words off the top of the head no pin. his word play is crazy.”unh, you little n****z ain’t deep you dumb, you n****z ain’t gangsta you gum, I chew little n****z
    hock-too, spew little n****z, I can only view little n****z like little n****z
    but in lieu of little n****z trying to play that boy, I phew phew little n****z with the latest toy
    unlike you little n****, I’m a grown a** man, big shoes to fill n****, grown a** pants
    prolly hustled with your pops, go ask your parents its apparent you’re staring at a legend
    who, put a few little n****z in the they place before trying to eat without saying they grace before
    blasphemous bastard get your faith restored you’re viewing your version of the lord god
    mc little n****, applaud, or forever burn in the fire that I spit at y’all I rebuke you little n****
    the meek shall parish, ill roof you little n****, Im a project terrorist, cute you little n****z
    think you in my class subsitute little n****z soon feel my wrath, I mute you little n****z
    you a little n****, I shall abuse you little n****, I’m a ill n****, now shoot you little n****z
    go somewhere and play, cuz the day I loose to you little n****z, no day”

  • MEE

    fuck all the jay-z haters

  • Young L

    Kingdom Come is a terrible album and I was very disappointed with it. It doesnt deserve to sell 200,000. I’m also questioning if The Game will even go platinum after shitty second week sales. Tha Carter 3 is gonna shit on the Doctor’s Advocate.

  • Dyvine Truth

    Everyone knew Jay-z album was going take top spot on the charts haters or lovers I like jay but this isn’t one of his best albums he set the bar so high for his self everyones looking at everything he do with a magnify glass so that tells you there hes a dope MC hands down but Games album is banging I was surprised it was that dope if he don’t go plat right away that don’t mean its a weak album jay probably do like 2x….oh yeah everyone stop putting your myspace address on your comments no ones going to visit any of your pages!!!!!

  • ceezy4sheezy

    game’s album is better than kindom come the only reason jay sold more than game is a few reasons

    1. his single show mw what you got is getting radio play and video play all over america. Game’s singles are getting no play at all (not to mention strip club is the worst track on the doctor’s advocate it could have been left off completely)

    2. jay-z had promotion on espn and everything game virtually no promotion but album was anticipated

    3 he’s jay-z the most OVERATTED yes i said OVERATED LYRICIST OF ALL TIMES

    4. He’s the president of def jam so he will make sure his album gets the proper push

    5 jay-z has some club bangers on his album game has none on the doctor’s advocate but the album is better

  • ceezy4sheezy

    oh yeah and six everybody loves jay-z not everybody loves the game

    7. dre was involved in jay-z’s project there was a couple of cuts on there by dre but there was no dre involvement on games album so that turned a lot of people off from the album

    8. The doctor’s advocate but no involvement from dre another reason people were turned off from buying the album

  • The Surrealist

    Stop hatin on Hov. Everytime he spits something niggas expect it to be Reasonable Doubt, or Takeover flow. Can’t a nigga make music because he wants to? If Jay wanted to make a classic he could at whim, but if rapped like he wanted to, it would be way over y’all heads like “he should leave that kinda rap alone, that ain’t the Jay-Z I know” Then apparently you don’t know Jay-Z as well as you thought you did.

    The King is Back. Haters Dig a Hole.

  • Galil ( Never forget 2pac 197 1-1996)( Doctor’s Advocate 4 life)

Go buy “Doctor’s Advocate” 4 real it’s a nice album maybe the best album of 2006. Jay Z is doin his think right now but I also like 2 see what Nas got when he comes out in December.

  • JAMES/HILLTOP/BAHAMAS

    Apparently you need to be really into hip hop to understand what Jay-z was trying to do with this album. Sure the album might not have been his best work but its way better that half the shit that came out this year. Correction WAY better than all the albums this year. I wont even touch on the “punk ass buck”/Jenny Jones/Dipshit and game’s album was really cool but you dont get to elite status overnight. Only nigga on Hov’s level would be nas and you got lil wayne coming up the ranks killing lil wayne and who is his mentor or who he follows……………..none other than hov. So if lil wayne is the future and he is like jay-z then hov is the best and will always be the best. Listen to the album and not to the reviews and if you dont listen to jay-z in the first place then how can you judge. Grown ass man album!!!!

    bottom line kingdom come was not what everybody expected. some tracks is hot, but it’s mostly boring. it sold just off his name and what everybody remembers him for. NAS album will be the best album of the year even if it doesn’t match those numbers. that’s the truth.

  • bbron

    Jay already gave you everything before. he is changing the game again. What niggas is doing now he already did and said. “Im so far ahead of myself im about to start another life, look behind you im about to past you twice.” WHY DO NIGGAS WANT TO HEAR THE SAME SHIT?????? These lyrics on Kingdome come are personal,intriguing, and deep. he gave you the game and the IMAGINARY PLAYER SHIT IN 97. Now its time to motivate to different shit and I feel it. Watch in the next couple of years these copycat, hating ass rappers are going to follow in the footprints of Jay and change there shit up (except the laffy taffy niggas)like they been doing since 95 when he CHANGED THE GAME WITH “IN MY LIFETIME”. Then told you abou it on Dead Presidents “Got the city drinking Chistal, we up the fee, Rappers going broke, trying to keep up with me”!!! That was then and they followed and now watch they follow again. Kids, keep listning to J.J and BALLIN, its for yall. My “Ballin was 95, now I need that touch me music. “If my hands in the cookie jar know 1 thing, Ima take the cookie and don’t leave my ring”. Shit like that is relatable for a grown dude. You Dumbed down Niggas don’t get it. Not Jay’s best Album, not even the top 3, but it gets a 8 for content and substance.

    it’s kinda hard to compare game’s album and jay’s cause jay just freestyles his shit. well not freestyles, but basically does, cause he don’t use a pen, so there’s really no way to compare. so stop bickering and fighting like little bitches, just accept both for what they are.

    now when nas’ cd come out, ya’ll better be ready for some fiiiiireeeee

  • JUSTIN

    jay-z wack as a mofo

  • Jenisis

    Jay definatly did those expected numbers (the numbers that people who wanted him to do well expected), and i aint gonna lie, the quality of the music isnt why his CD sold as much as it did. Theres only 3 reasons, from most important to least: The white audience > Jay-Z is a household name > He makes good music. i was skeptical as hell when i picked it up, and honestly, if i paid more then 10 bucks for it i woulda been mad. its aite tho. not great, but aite, i like bout 10 songs on there (Hollywood was fuckin whack!)

  • kristel

    i definetly agree with BBron. jay is taking it to another level now, and in few years you will find a lot of other rapper who will copy him. th estate of the industry at the moment shows that 70% of those rappers copy jay, from his flow to his swagger. it is true that this album is not his greatest as it was announced to be, but it is still a good one ( in terms of content)and it is way better to what is out there right. for one reason all thosee album sound the same, everyone seems to chase that ‘club banger’ or that gangster anthem song. it was refreshing to see someone like jay-z to have enough gut to come out with something different, which he had to do view the fact that nas is coming out with another classic album. all i can say is that hiphop is back on the map baby.

  • http://myspace.com/spotlightalabama Mr. SpotlightAlabama

    Jay’z Album is simply this… Grown Folks Hip Hop. People grow up and step away from the redundant gun play and all the time getting high and drunk M.O.. This album is just what the game needed. It time for the rest of hip hop and hip hop listeners to grow up. If you are fortunate enough to get out of slangin and bangin then be happy and move on. Don’t stay there for 5 albums claiming you still deal and bang then drive home to the suburbs. It’s ridiculous. Those who tend to make it big in this industry are those who live, learn, evolve and move on. Examples: Outkast, Jay-Z, Queen Latifa, Tupac was making the transition and Mos Def. It may be a longer list but that’s all that came to mind. Anyway…Wake up to a new way of living hip hop..The grown up way. One.

Ya’ll niggas did this dance when Black Album dropped, then spent two weeks trying to figure out what Jay was REALLY saying on Lucifer. Essentially the man was moving hip hop forward, and he is doing it once again. Don’t worry, 2 months from now ya’ll gon realize what Kingdome Come really is…once again.
    If he did the numbers, it woulda been hate. If he didn’t do it, it woulda been hate. Keep sailing them yachts and stackin them chips and leave these losers here to contemplate your next Move Jay…try to catch up haters.

  • http://me.com FIRE-FLI

    Kingdom come is no where near Jigga at his best, but its enough to announce his break from retirement. For me jay at his best is Reasonable doubht and blue print with Black album not far behind. those 3 albums musically and lyrically are superior. Kingdom come was rushed, he didnt put his heart in it Blueprint and the album slighty suffered. having said that there are some good joints on there. even with 70% effort jay is better that 80% of rappers. Still would like a Reasonable doubt 2 (beyond resonable doubt would be fitting) just to finish his legacy!

  • SHAQ

    I must admit that, Game has a good album, but it is his secound album and I cant see the dude makin that many more bangers! You can only rap about cherry 64′s so many times, We know you got one NIGGA! Anyway back to that nigga jigga, What would rap be like without him, he’s the best. kingdom come is not the best album out there, but none the less it is HOT! HATER’S GIVE THAT NIGGA HIS PROPS! And Jim Jones, you retard consider your fuckin steps, This nigga ends careers you retarded fuck. The only nigga that stood a chance against him…….works for him dummy!

I’m going to drop my album next spring and I promise to outsell Freakey Zekey at least. LOL BALLIN!

    In this corner JAY-Z and in this corner LL COOL J. ali and frazier. Classic. Ps think about it.

  • Hurricane Game

    If Anyones been in the Game #1 Billboard page you would of seen this punk arse muthafuka called On My Chest talkin shit. Anyones welcome to insult him.

  • Still-illamtic

    So far games album has been #1 this year. Jay-z aint been tight since Reasonable doubt. Game will stay on top.. that is till the real MC Nastradamus drops that heat. Nas never disapoints no doubt most anticipated

  • PITPAT

    game should of kept his ugly ass mouth shut cuz he done embarassed himself now BROOOOOOOOKLYNNNNNNNNNNNN

  • Juman23

    man jay is the best everybody saying he wack now he still the same ol jay but better and lil wayne need to step his game up before he say he better than jay

  • John from East Los

    Baaalllllin’! That’s the best thing that Jim Jones will ever have. He’ll never have his own record label, sit on millions of records sold, own a sports bar, and have a net worth to the tune of 300 million. Jay has surpassed rap motherfuckers. He’s a business man, not a businessman! I’ll admit that this album wasn’t his best, but you know something, it’s still smart. It’ll still go plat, and this dude is growing. I’m 21, I was bumping his Vol. 1 and Reasonable Doubt on a fucken Sony Walkman in 96′ on the bus. Then at when I started high school it was “Money, Cash, Hoes, Money, Cash, Hoes, What?!” in 98′ with Vol. 2. I’m a bit older now and I’m becoming a man, so I’m growing with Jay. I’ll be 30 and listening to him still. How about that? Hustlers and thugs turned rappers rap to get out of a life of crime and grow. Jim Jones is a moron criminal who’s more likely to spend a decade in jail than to consistently sell platinum records.

  • John from East Los

    One more thing, Jim Jones, Camron, and even though I think Lil Wayne is quite a good rapper and he’s actually showing maturity and flexibility in his flow, (damn dog, don’t diss Jay, come on don’t be stupid) mothafuckas dig a hol’ burrry yourrself. Weezy, if you really think you’re better than Jay then keep that flow tight and the hits coming. You’re one of the few rappers who can consistently nail tracks and have a long career. Weezy’s right, he’s got more than ten in the game and it’s like he’s just getting started too. Another ten? He could pull that off. Let that flow evolve, it started out this ghetto crazy talk but keep it up and it could be way better.

  • Matthew Joseph

    Hip Hop is back kill that rap bullsh*t

    I’m tired of brothas (missing fathers and rappers) preping our youth to go to jail, can’t u see thats whatsome people in our society want. Check out the prison stats.

    I love brothas who got something positive to say to these kids man besides selling dope, bagging chicks, gun clapping etc. Get our kids out the mental jail system and then we can work on us becoming the kings and queens we descended from.

    Learn your History! Don’t except
    His-story, WAKE UP.

    One Love,
    Nas (black moses)
    Jay Z (feelin 30 something, the great)
    the Roots (always on point)
    Gangstarr(dj premier is truth)
    Pete Rock (dope mc also)
    Outkast (always fresh)
    Cee-Lo (lovin that St. elsewhere, tru poet)
    Talib Kweli (Listen is the truth)
    Mos Def (multi dementional)
    Common (lryical genius)
    Little Brother (most underated group in the game!!!! Period.)
    Kanye (swagger is so ill)
    Lupe Fiasco (listen to “Real”)
    TI (i know he commercial and sh*t now but if u listen closely my man sayin something)

    the rest u know who u are……

    PS: buy good music, stop burnin that sh*t, you wouldn’t buy fake Jordans for $200(what mike ever do for da hood)

    Ok, so Jay-Z didnt sell as much as his last album debued, but thats because so much good shyt is commin out now. In my opinion Jay-Z is the most lyrically acclaimed rapper of all time. He flows like no other MC and has the state of mind to rap about real shyt. By the way, he freestyles everything he records. All his messages are subliminal and punk ass retards who dont listen to music and just skim through it are not gonna see that. Every great MC has put Jay-Z on his top 5. Nas, Rakim, Scarface, DMX, the Game, Krs One, Chuck D, Dre, Eminem, all these dudes say that Jay-Z is the best. Why would they lie. Dipset dissen Jay-Z is just like Jay said it, the Decipeles dissen Jesus. Open the bibles and read the history, if it wasnt for Jay, Dipset is nowere. The only time Camron went platinum is when he had Jay-Z’s rocafella chain on his neck. jay-Z’s lyrical content would destroy others. People need to stop hatin and start listening to the songs lyrical content and not the beats and not hit singles.

    Jeezy’s New Album is better than Jay-Z’s Kingdom Come. Sorry Jigga, Jeezy is just way more street….

  • Makaveli The Don

    Aint no nigga like me, FUCK JAY-Z, you broke and i smoke daily

  • Old skool Sandy

    Hip hop will die like 80′s music did because it has become a simplistic parody of itself. Everyone uses the same ass producers who create the same sounding “canned” beats. NO originality. They sample songs that have already been sampled 4x (remember that Pharcyde beat)Its a shame that real MC’s like Jurassic 5 are ignored

  • http://none killa black

    First this new cat name Blu-Black is nice as shit check him at myspace.com/blublack.
    Now long live Hova, the king is back, what you dumb ass niggers dont understand is as a rapper that writes his own suff you grow as a person as each album he or she does, so each one will be different from the last, so hova shit is for the grown and sexy.cause nothing last forever, and he wont be as hot as his first album, so we all watch him grow, now its time for yall to grow also, HATTERS EAT A DICK. ROCK FOREVER NIGGERS.

  • Cassie

    It’s obvious who ignorant niggas are when you read what they write. That goes for Game, Jim Jones, and every other hater who can’t recognize Musical Genius. Thank You Jay!

  • Cassie

    Oh, I can understand the “Snap Yo Fingers” crowd would not feel Jay, but that’s really a compliment! Kingdom Come really won’t be felt by many until they can catch up. It’s not for people with low to average intelligence or creativity. He is a TRAILBLAZER ALWAYS CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF HIP HOP!

  • Cassie

    Maybe people would like to hear music; real lyrics; real instrumentation

    Everything should not be about stupidity,rims,throwing money in the air,and BALLIN! I know you little dummies like shiny things, but please show us you have some talent. Jay’s record sales are what they are because good music is universal.

    GAY-Z ALBUM IS BUNK! OLD ASS RAPPER, IT WILL NEVER LIVE ON TOP OF THE ADVOCATE

  • http://myspace.com/PcPCrew MaddFlo aka Mr 1980 Himself

    ok…Jay is a great rapper, but he should have left this last album on the shelf. He came back like Jordan….on the Wizards. Diffrent team, all hype…but ain’t do the numbers or quality performance like he used to.I find myself hitting the skip button on more than one song on this new album. IMO, i think all rappers over 35 need to shut down and move over…give the young gunnz a chance to show and prove (yes..I’m talking to you Jay,Busta and Snoop…all yall been out the hood for the past 10 years…U can’t possibly relate to me,not to mention ya damn near 40!!!) Im out…. By the way, TRUE HIP HOP + NATURAL TALENT x TRUE LYRICS = NAS!!!!!

  • Hurricane Game

    Ethan Ramirez. Man you back outta no where. You Gettin hard out hated on in the Game article

  • ethan ramirez

    i been on vacation man… literally… New Mexico, Fort Benning, Austin and I really haven’t had time to talk nonsense to these cats,”Snitch on my chest” hey son I have a job for you in my ARMY as a water purifier! I’ll even teach you how to shoot a gun for the first time son. But just because Gay-Z sells records doesn’t mean he’s a good rapper. It’s the parents who is buying his album for his/her sibling just so they could shut the fuck up! Game, Fat Joe, Nas, Jeezy, and even the Clipse album is whats up right now. All the others flopped! surprisingly Lil scrappy didn’t sell as much as I thought, but who does he stand next to? can you say Snitch? Even 50 is trying to be THE GAME’S #1 fan… go look up thegame360.com and you’ll see him sporting his gear smiling! I guess we gotta wait until Detox drops to hear some more gangsta shit! look out for the black steve nash! “JUICE” he’s gonna kill slow rod!

  • ethan ramirez

    I forgot about Dipset! my niggaz! keep baaalllliiinnn! that shits a banger!

  • Benjamin

    HOVA is the best rapper ever. Jim Jones is not the best rapper in dipset and they suck. Jay Z sells more than all of them put together. Alot of people do not appreciate te album because it shows maturity, everyones to involved in whats hard and not whats real. Jay Z is the realest, Game had a good album, T.I. was good. Jim Jones had the single of his life but its just a single fuck dipset HOVA in my opinion is the best rapper ever which is debatable with Pac and Biggie but there is no doubt he is the best rapper alive with Nas being a close second.
