Dang Do You All Believe This About Jay-z
 
DANG DO YOU ALL BELIEVE THIS ABOUT JAY-Z

December 8. In its first week on the market, Jay Z latest album Kingdom Come sold an impressive 680,000 copies. But the numbers may not be what they seem. MediaTakeOut.com received an anonymous email from a person claiming that in an effort to inflate sales figures, Jay Z may have purchased his own albums.

The full text of the email is printed below:


Just wanted to let you know that the "numbers" that Jay put up are probably fake. I work at Def Jam and everyone here knows that [Jay Z] bought more than 200,000 copies of the album himself. Ain't that some [EXPLETIVE]. I guess money really ain't a thing for [Jay Z].

He was all up on the BET Awards saying "Numbers don't lie." Fake [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE].

And there seems to be evidence to support the tipster's claim. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that in its second week on the market, sales of Kingdom Come declined by 81% - a drop off that's almost unheard of in the record business.

Same thing came up when The Dynasty dropped, people saying he bought his own shit to beat OutKast's Stankonia on the charts.

I thought those numbers were peculiar. Because I don't believe that everybody likes Jay-Z that much. =P

the only reason i see the numbers being real is cuz its like his comeback and all that, but jay is a rich ass moyfucka so its plausible that he bought some
