Jay-Z Announces “Magna Carta Holy Grail” Album, Free Downloads For Samsung Users

    Jay-Z’s first solo project since 2009’s The Blueprint 3 has been announced.

    During halftime of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, a commercial aired featuring Jay-Z recording in a studio with Rick Rubin, Pharrell Williams, Swizz Beatz, and Timbaland.

    The commercial, however, was actually a Samsung advertisement, as Hov and the electronics giant have teamed up for a bold business plan: Samsung has purchased 1 million copies of Jay’s next project, which will be titled Magna Carta Holy Grail.

    The album is dropping July 4, and will give the copies for Samsung Galaxy smartphone users for free, three days ahead of the release.

    Users will access the music through an app that will be downloadable in the coming weeks.

    Fans can download the Magna Carta app at www.magnacartaholygrail.com.

    1. Is this the new standard of releasing albums? Just dropping the albums within 3 weeks at most with no singles or much promotion other than twitter?

      Here’s how eminem will probably drop his album. Sometime this summer one week before his new album comes out, he will announce the album. It won’t have a cover art, no singles, hell no tracklist. It would be on a blank cd and would have no promotion other than twitter posts. It wouldn’t even have a title. It would probably be hidden away and somehow, it will still sell at least 500k just because that’s what everyone is on these days.

      Hell even Justin Timberlake gave us at least 2 months notice with a single.

    2. damn this looks like it actually has the potential to be pretty good. that samsumg things sounds pretty stupid though they just wasted a ton of money no bodies gonna join samsung just for that shit and they bought a million copies of it, not to mention its gonna get leaked early for sure now. what so does Jay already go platinum before its released or how does that work haha

    3. Damn Jay Z is following the Yeezy path. Both realize that have little money because one, most of the money belongs with their girlfriends/wives and 2, YMCMB is dominating charts. It would make no sense to compete with them.

    4. Jay-Z is basically admitting he has no more commercial appeal. He will sell 100k first week and blame it on the free giveaway, when in reality the album would have sold 150k without the giveaway. No one is checking for old ass jay-z anymore. He’s washed up and either puts out pop garbage or lies about his net worth. When other rappers like TI rap about selling drugs, fans know it’s an act. But Jay-Z lies about things that could be mistaken by his welfare recipient stans as being true…such as him owning the Barclay center or being a majority owner of the Nets.

      1. Cosign. He’s not the only rapper to admit this. Kayne West, also a wack rapper, admitted the same thing. Both are going to bomb badly with their albums They may sell 200k at the most opening weekend but plunge harder. They may go gold but that’s it. Montana/YMCMB for life.

      2. Jay has never said he was a majority owner of the Nets or the Barclay Center…smh. Way to be a hater, you’re worse than the Stans. His net worth is pretty much public knowledge as well. Aaaaand Blueprint 3 sold 476k first week…I’m willing to bet his next will do at least 300k.

      3. Beyonce got most of that money shit and she needs it for her new album promotion and the tour. There’s not much left for him to promote it. And lack of promotion hurts album sales. Jay Z had to sell his stakes just to keep money. Same thing for Kayne West. His girlfriend, who’a a hideous gold digger, Kardashian got most of his shit. YMCMB has their money. Birdman makes sure they are fairly paid.

      4. That’s not album sales. It’s more of a contract where Jay Z gets 5 million dollars in exchange of giving 1 million copies of this trash (just like the other Jay Z albums). These sales won’t count and the album will go wood at best.

      5. It’s sad that hiphop fans care more about sales than the actual art. Who gives a fuck how much anyone sells, you making that money? No. K. Take the music and put it in your ears, the rest is all neither here nor there, clearly.

      6. I listened to Wayne’s music and Jay Z music and Wayne’s music clearly won for me over Jay Z. And yes, im making the money because im the goddamn accountant for YMCMB.

    5. Waiting for the faggots that were talking shit about him a couple of months back, to call him a legend. Or that they can’t wait for the album. Oh wait, that was the whole faggy HipHopDX community saying that shit.

    6. I can’t tell if these comments are just straight up hating or are people actually that dumb. If the later, then this is pretty sad.

      1. I have been listening to music since the 80’s and I hated rap music, preferring music of Michael Jackson. That is, until Birdman and the Hot Boys came in. They made the best rap music and so I turned to rap channels just to listen to them, groaning everytime eminem, jay z, biggie, and nas came on. In 2000, I got a job as an accountant for ymcmb which i held since. I also support 2 chainz, mmg, French Montana, and others. I hate rappers like Yeezy, Jay Z, Eminem Dr Dre.

      2. I started out as a gay male prostitute,then move my way up to male groupie. Ive been suck Birdman and Lil Wayne’s dick since Tha Block Is Hot. Believe me, I know YMCMB. THey got the best dick in the world. They been buttfucking me to all their hits since then. Jay-Z is too straight for me. I only listen to the gayest niggaz,swag

      3. More goddamn lies about me. It’s more like starting with one girlfriend listening to crappy pop music like Jay Z and Eminem and working my way up to fucking 100’s of women at once who love ymcmb. I got there as soon as Birdman gave me a job as an accountant.

    7. I been waiting for something new from hov!! Fuck all the haters that’s about to flood this section too !!

    8. all i see is a bunch of broke pussies on here always bitchin. This summer gonna be hot for hip hop. got kanye, j.cole, jay-z, eminem and u fags still bitch about everything

      1. ” all I see is a bunch of broke pussies on here always bitchin”. Oh so you rich huh ?

      2. So true. You got fucking Kanye, Em and Jay-Z dropping albums, and these assholes are still bitching?

        Smh..

      3. he didn’t say he was, he just ain’t bitchin. niggas need to quit worryin about another man’s pockets.. do you god dammit

      4. dude never said he rich. he’s saying broke do-nothings on here need to stop complaining about one of the best hip hop summers in a minute

    9. Kind of a confusing way of dropping it, but I would never count Jay-z out. He’s always good for half a mil in the first week. I have a Note 2, does that mean I get a free download? If not Piratebay rarely lets me down

    10. Fuck the grand report guy, fuck the bevis n butthead guy, don’t come on here with that bullshit !!!

    11. It’s a smart move by J, has nothing to to with not being able to sell records its good business savy, any artist would love to have this deal with Samsung…dentalboy is a stupid ass little kid who’s comments aren’t respected

      1. Look under my comment under Big C and you will find my life story. It’s a smart move for Jay Z only because not too many other people will buy this trash. Days where people will spend money on anything have long since passed. And it has been 4 years since his last album.

      2. Well, it makes sense to team up with Samsung. First off he gets paid by Samsung. Two, they do all the promotion for the album. It’s a smart business move by Jay, I mean you dont get over 350 million in net worth by being a dummy.

      3. Like I said, Beyonce has most of Jay Z’s money going into touring and album promotion, forcing him to make the deals.

      4. Lol so dentaldamboy is a hardcore male groupie. Is that what your lofe story is. We already knew that,lol

        In Riley Freeman’s voice “NIGGA….YOU GAY!!!!!”

      5. Don’t be mad WoW just because Wayne is making more money than your favorite artist and you combined.

      6. Birdman rapes lil Wayne, anally and financially. Lil Wayne gets an allowance from his daddy so he can buy women’s clothes. Birdman likes Wayne to look pretty when he fucks him.

    12. This album is going to be dope. The one preview track in the video sounded hella dope.

      Oh and to this detaldamboy troll, for a so called accountant for a record company, you sure do post a lot on this site. Do you even get work done? I doubt it. No wonder producers are not getting paid on that record label, their accountant is always on HipHopDx. LOL

      1. In addition to accounting, I also have a second job trying to promote YMCMB. I am here to dispel any rumors you had about YMCMB. Wayne is not gay and we pay our artists fairly.

      2. Since when do an accountants do marketing. So what does the marketing dept do, accounting? Sounds like a lie to me :S

      3. My job as an accountant is different from a marketer. There’s a marketing team who’s job is to promote albums. Im here to account finances and dispel rumors about ymcmb.

    13. As a man of the 90s..makes me PROUD…hes ALREADY PLATINUM..WOW…GENIUS….try that SPANDEX WEARING ASS RAPPERS…YALL BETTER LEARN SOMETHING..

    14. when i saw that commercial, i thought to myself how does beyonce fuck this camel looking dude. yes he is super rich and was once a great rapper but damn beyonce could do a lot better in the looks department.

      as for the new jayz album, it is brilliant marketing and a sound business move. hopefully the music will be the same

    15. can someone tell me why Jay z is the only rapper to get this type of production now? Hes 41 and isnt the same. I would love to see someone else get good production in rap today…production overall is way down from what it was. All those trap sounding dumbass wiz khalifa and 2 chainz beats suck

      1. Jay gets the best producers because he is well respected. Hell, he has been in the spotlight for over 20 years now.

    16. This album will be dope but what’s with artists telling us the release dates at the last minute with no singles?

      1. Im expecting Eminem to announce his album one week before release with no title, no cover art, no singles, not even a tracklist, just a blank cd in a sleeve.

      2. lma000 @Chris Etrata word i bet dre comes out next n says he dropped detox two years ago we juz didnt notice

    17. Dude is closer to 50 than 30, he lives a high class life style that no one commenting or listening lives..why do ppl still care? Its not like its 2002 any more.. I will listen but don’t expect anything deeper than a giant product placement ad..watches..cars…blah blah..same shiz on every song or record he does…step it up…

      follow at noles506

    18. also at the wiz bam margeras rock album titled ‘im a cuban girl now if you dont like it ill chase old people” ft jay z. with songs titled hey mixed girl watch your back. at the wizzz

    19. “Jay gets the best producers because he is well respected. Hell, he has been in the spotlight for over 20 years now.”

      I completely get it..hes one of the best ever. Production in rap has really deteriorated though. The best ones are still Just Blaze, Pharell, Timbo, Dre, and Kanye(dre and kanye have fallen off though). All of the cookie cutter trap sounding beats are just annoying for everyone, and they are cool for about a month. We need these producers to work with some of the younger guys and not just one or two songs.

    20. The news about this album won’t be as grand as the news that Ja Rule has signed with YMCMB and will release an album later this year.

      1. Thank you HHDX for finally deleting fuckboys comments. Dudes a fag straight up, leaving that bullshit on every article on the site

    21. Dumb dudes…Y u maD? Rockers dont get mad at Paul McCartney still touring and selling albums, so why when one of Raps gre3atest ever does the same thing do you niggas hate? Hov created the modern rap era and fathered damn near every mc from Lilwayne to Wale, Kendrik lamar etc…I agree his flows not what it once was..but still light years better than 985 of the ubergay shit out now…

      plus the production sound like pure hiphop masterpiece shit…which admittdly was missing from Watch the Throne

      1. HOV didnt create modern rap. Ever heard of the god Rakim. He is the “father of every damn mc”

    22. old and washed up lyrics *snippet*

      uh uh…..the most overrated of modern time/i dont rap about shit i aint gotta jot my lines/anything i say i know ppl gone ride my dick/picture yourself in my shoes i aint gotta try for shit/aint dropped a hot album since the black one/but u dumb fucks keep buyin so guess what? jigga keeps rappin….

      1. Ruffled my feathers? U tried to correct me and didnt even read it right dumb bastard. Idiocracy pisses me off. *claps hands* ur feeling good about urself? Well congrats on being an accomplished dick rider. Now continue to let jays cock box ur tonsils faggot.

    23. Yo, what’s up with the Adrian Younge beat at 1:31? Jay better not be trying to steal his shit.

      1. Its not stealing if you get clearance. Considering 4 of biggest producers in the game were all in the room, I would imagine they can get pretty much anyone to clear samples for them

    24. wow.

      jay-z is a crafty veteran. he always got some kinda commercial heavyweight in his corner for his come backs.

      like when he used monday night football and coors light to drop garbage ass kingdom come.

      looking forward to this. jigga man do it big.

    25. Samsung is paying Hov 25 million to do this…and all he has to do is a commercial and lose some meaningless album sales. I also find it kind of funny that he just stole a lot of Yeezus’ buzz with people going ape of this haha.

      1. you don’t “steal” album’s buzz you ignoramus. people have enough brain power to like two rappers or albums at once. now it’s looking like a dope summer for hip-hop with Kanye, Em, Jay-Z dropping shit. Yeezus didn’t lose nothin here and it’s only 10 tracks anyway, it’ll manage

    26. Okay, can people stop bullshittin’ and FINALLY admit that this dude is pretty much the greatest?? Nobody can fuck with his track record!! Who else can create a marketing plan like this announcing that their album is dropping in less than a month, with no single or anything, and expect to sell?? You can call me a dick rider or Stan or whatever – but he’s a legend that my kids and grandkids will know about.

    27. Jay stole Jaz-O’s style, Tim stole Devante’s style and Swizz stole beats from Casio keyboards. Oh yeah, Skateboard P isn’t the producer, Chad (the asian) guy is.

      1. And yet jay is considered one of the best ever if not the best buy fans and peers jaz o is milk carton material, only real music fans know devante’s contribution to todays producers and how he paved the way out of va. first timberland is making classics for pop,rap,rock, and anything else can think of and yea swizz stole some casio shit back in the day but that was like 15 years ago now he is making records wit jay z and married to A. Keyes so they just smarter than the rest jay z just worked out a deal where is certified platinum before his album even comes out and people still hating he is in ur favorite rappers top ten if not top 5 just because some people dont think jay is better than they favorite rapper stop denying him they said his flow was weak so he changed it up then he was bitting jaz o they said he was using big and pac lines and wasnt original so he stopped doin that all his records was the same so he basically gave you a movie score everytime he did everything he could to prove haters wrong made it to the top married beyonce on the cover of everything from forbes to time magazine and niggas still hate call it dick riding all u want and maybe it is but it dont change wat he did hiphop heads thing that if ur mainstream you sold out maybe if people would support people like jay nas raekwon,busta,tech9,slaughter house,mos def or common then people like waka wayne gucci and ross wouldnt be where they are cus i would rather hear black thought,dead prez,wu,goodie mob,outkast,or even mobb deep than alot of this garbage out today

    28. Below me… well considering its being introduced and promoted in a commercial.. its prob gonna be commercial.

    29. I don’t know why so called “fans” of hip hop can never appreciate legends in the game. You never heard of someone saying Joe Montana needs to get his old ass off the field. Wether you like Jay-Z or not appreciate the fact that your seeing something we don’t get to see often, that is a rap legend who is still relevant in his 40’s. The amazing thing is if Biggie and Tupac would have lived everyone who kisses their asses now would find a reason to hate on them, that’s what hip hop is now a days, it’s the music version of Uncle Ruckus.

      1. i agree bro. nobody stays young forever. hip hop artists should be looking for longevity in the game. good music is good music and shouldn’t be restricted by age. young cats gotta realize you gon hit 30 or 40 one day. so you should be glad older people still in the game. means you can eat longer from something you love to do

      2. As an accountant for YMCMB I can confirm Jay Z does not want to go to war with YMCMB. Wayne already said that if Jay Z disses one more time, he will go Mel Gibson on him. The YMCMB army is built for war. Wayne a certified gangsta. He got 3 tear drops, did a bid on the island and all that. Wayne ethered rappers and even caused permanent damage to Dez Bryant’s knee. Jay is wack. All Wayne has to do is throw him a rock and Jay will fuck his life up again

    30. What black lames and fake ass rappers have for Hov is hate and all he bullshit they’ve got to say but what Hov have for every one is his love and hustle for music and rap and he proves it with his verses… and its 22’2z for all you fakes ass

      Too much West coast dick licking, and too many niggas on a mission
      Doing your best Jay-Z rendition
      Too many rough motherfuckers, I got my suspicions
      That you’re just fish in a pool of sharks nigga, listen
      Too many bitches wanna be ladies, so if you a ho
      I’m a call you a ho, too many bitches are shady
      Too many ladies give these niggas too many chances
      Too many brothers wannabe lovers don’t know what romance is
      Too many bitches stuck up from too many sexual advances
      No question; Jay-Z got too many answers
      I been around this block too many times
      Rocked too many rhymes, cocked too many nines, too
      To all my brothers it ain’t too late to come together
      Cause too much black and too much love, equal forever
      I don’t follow any guidelines cause too many niggas ride mine
      So I change styles every two rhymes
      Hah, what the fuck
      That’s 22 two’s for y’all motherfuckers out there, nahmean?
      Shall I continue? Check it out, what?

    31. Wow Gay-z is better than Wayne because he has more money & he dresses in suits and tuxedos. Gay-z better because he is always on the radio with his commercial cRAP songs… Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is married to Beyonce… Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is always making moves & Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is a Rold Model to little Justin Beiber bitches…
      (Its called being Sarcastic)
      JAY-Z SUCKS DICK…HIS LIPS WAS DESIGNED TO SUCK DICK & LIP GLOSS,NOT TO RAP…

    32. Kanye: “I told Wayne to his face, he’s the dopest MC out”

      Eminem: “Wayne, to me, is definitely one of the greatest in the game”

      Jay-Z: “Wayne is one of the most talented rappers out there”

      2pac – ” he’s my homie”

      Dmx – “i like him”

      So should I listen to Kanye, Eminem, Jay-Z, 2pac and Dmx or should I listen to some broke loser on the Internet?

      I like how all of the people who hate Lil wayne come to and search for his videos to talk shit about them. Lil Wayne may not act like it but he is capable of making good music

      LONG LIVE WEEZY!

      1. All this says is that you’re a rolling ass clown. Start worrying about what the next man says and make your own decisions you groupie fuck boy!

    34. I’ve never seen so much hate for one artist. Jay-Z may be overrated but the nigga receives a bit too much hate. Sure he sold out but you can’t forget about the shit he did pre Black Album. But I’m forgetting most of the people on this site worship Nas.

    35. If Samsung purchased 1,000,000 albums to give away at $5 a pop thats $5,000,000 and Jay-Z has already recouped off this album and it isn’t even close to being out yet. Everything after July 4th is straight profit not to mention the $20,000,000 deal he signed. Business genus.

    36. Im really a transsexual who secretly fantasizes about being Lil Wayne’s buttslave. I know nothing of true hip hop.

      1. yeah.. but it wont really be 1 million sold… Billboard will also NOT count is as one million sold….

        It is giveaway… cuz he cant sell…. the older an artist gets the less they sell

    37. Sounds like the album will be nice. I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be like another ‘Born Sinner’ or ‘Yeezus’. And yeah, one million copies already sold Jay! Dope.

    38. So Jay is worried that his album wont sell and hires Samsung to buy 1 million albums so its already platinum.

      Hmm whats next? Coca cola buying 1 millions copies of Talib Kweli’s album so everybody who enjoys a bottle of coke gets a album from kweli.

      1. at this point he prob dont care..if i was jayz my music legacy is the only thing that can go down with a bs album..but another great album. who knows

      2. and why won’t they? lol, you think they went thru this agreement without thinking about that? stay in darkness haters

    39. So Jay this time:

      – no illuminati shit;
      – no rhymes about how much money you have
      – no justin timberlake
      – no rihanna
      – not that faggot Kanye west
      – no beats by that horrible producer swizz beats
      – no beats by timbo dude is getting boring
      – no dirty south rappers
      – no dirty south sound

      You think you can do this without dickriding the south????

      1. no he cant. jay became a pussy when he married beyonce and he likes dickriding the south. jay is now fucking meanstream

      2. I don’t think he cares about plaques, he has so many already. I think he is just trying to get paid, which is what this Samsung deal did for him. Its called business, you internet idiots don’t know what that means.

      1. If Jay raps the way he does now when hes 100, I would still get the album. Jay is top 5 dead or alive in rap. Deal with it

      1. He is one hell of a business man i give him that… who cares who bootlegs your shit when you already outsold Kendrick b4 you even come out.

      2. Wow Gay-z is better than Wayne because he has more money & he dresses in suits and tuxedos. Gay-z better because he is always on the radio with his commercial cRAP songs… Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is married to Beyonce… Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is always making moves & Gay-z is better than Wayne because he is a Rold Model to little Justin Beiber bitches…
        (Its called being Sarcastic)
        JAY-Z SUCKS DICK…HIS LIPS WAS DESIGNED TO SUCK DICK & LIP GLOSS,NOT TO RAP…!

    40. How stupid are Samsung? They just got stiched up for a million… everyone most likely have the album b4 its offical release at it will leak.

    41. Samsung really thing this is going to sell android nerd phones??? Some at samsung gettin fired for this one.

    42. Father’s Day must the worst day for most black kids, 73% of black kids are born out if wedlock, 1 in 3 black kids don’t know who their real father is and 70% of black kids don’t have a father involved in their life. Black women sleep around with thugs and then the children suffer, the girls become hoes and boys become thugs and the cycle continues. Thanks black women!

      Bawse!!!!!!!!

      1. ow, lame ass comment, u ain’t looking smarter by using fake statistics. Maybe u talking about USA black community ? even if that’s the case u are WRONG. i ain’t even know why i’m replying ur stupid comment, come on this web site is not youtube. drop ur shit elsewhere please.

      2. Meanwhile you posted this on a Jay-Z thread, a single mom raised kid who now is a successful black businessman and a father. That black woman did well.

        Now according to your logic, you have both parents, white, and spam an internet comment section. And you’re better? Laughter at your life bigot, you now have that attention you crave.

    43. I doubt it will leak…somehow jay-z found away around that…Watch the Throne did’nt leak……plus the fact that jay-z just announced it on June 16, and is releasing it on July 4, is unprecedented…it damn near won’t have enough time to leak…. This dude is on some cutting edge shit as far as marketing…he might change the game with this one for real….this nigga is platinum already. So all you niggaz thats hating..get out of your emotions for a minute and peep game and the buisness move…you can learn alot from this shit….

      1. im not sure people think jayz isnt that kind of businessman though..? everyone and their mom knows jayz or a business venture with J behind it.. people just been questioning his verses in just hiphop recently..not life

    44. No matter how many albums he’s sold, I have a feeling that Jay clearly hasn’t worked hard to give us a album if its dropping in one month in such short notice. If it takes Samsung to purchase a million wack albums, so be it, but the product stays the same.

      1. Well nobody knows how long he’s been working on this album. I know people who’s been working with him on this album for over 6 months.. i’m just sayin.

      2. thats why pictures of him in the studio with producers have been surfacing for the past 8-10 weeks?

      3. the press was right in front of your face, but lames like you were too busy showing how dumb you are in the comments

      4. [talking]
        So I had to memorize these rhymes until I got home
        Ya understand? Once you memorize a sentence
        It’s like an exercise [echoes]

        [heavy breathing]

        [talking]
        Ya niggas can’t be serious right now
        I’m the all time heavy weight champion of flowers
        I’m leading the league in at least six statistical categories right now
        Best flow, Most consistent, Realest stories
        Most charisma, I set the most trends
        And my interviews are hotter
        Holla

        I jog in the graveyard
        Spar in the same ring
        Now it’s house by the building
        Where Malcolm X was slain
        I spring train in the winter
        Round early December
        Run suicide drills over and over
        With the weight of the world on my shoulder
        That’s why they call me “Hova”
        I’m far from being God
        But I work goddamn hard
        I wake up the birds who in the nerves is sleep
        I’m catching my second wind the second the first one end
        I am “focused man”
        And I’m not afraid of death
        And I’m going all out
        I circle the vultures in a van and
        I run the block (run)
        Pull up in a drop (pull up)
        Push up on my money (push up)
        I’m in great shape dunny
        I keep jacks jumping thirty six sets
        Like a personal trainer I teach coke to stretch
        I pump and rock sweats
        All white trainers
        The ghettoes, Billy Blanks
        I show you niggas what pain is
        Maintain your stamina
        Hov will damage ya
        Spot you two rhymes y’all niggas is amateurs
        The fifth
        A dead lift if
        Niggas don’t want to get shot then y’all niggas better squat
        I drop your set for rep
        No need to hit the showers
        The spit from the fifth leave you wet
        Lyrical exercise
        [hard breathing]
        Y’all niggas ain’t tired right?

        [Chorus 4X]
        One, One
        Two, Two
        Three, Three
        Four, Breathe Easy

        Suckers
        Get your weight up
        Not your hate up
        Jigga man is diesel
        When I lift the eight up
        Y’all ain’t ready to workout with the boy
        Your flow is brain on drugs
        Mines is rap on steroids
        I lift every voice when I sing
        My ability
        Make yours look like an exercise in futility
        Bring your squad
        Biceps, Triceps, and Quads
        We don’t struggle with undeveloped muscles
        Y’all ain’t real
        That’s y’all Achilles Heel
        Same routine when you see me you know the drill
        I spot ya
        I lift the weight of the watch off your arm
        Remain nice and calm
        Put down your things
        Trinidad of the game know my way around your ring
        No matter how many pounds you bring
        It sounds like the same old thing
        R-O-C is the strongest team

      5. You do realize that The Black Album (one of the best rap albums of the past 10 years) was made in like 7 days right?

    45. He had to do that deal or he would come out selling 80K first week. No one is checking for Jay-Z anymore. New album is going to be the same as BP3 and Kingdom Come. An old dude talking about money, how great he is, and how he used to be a drug dealer, along with garbage wannnabe ‘artistic’ beats that don’t match the simplistic content of his songs. This dude should have left hiphop alone after the Black Album. He’s old now and has nothing to talk about. I’m not impressed.

      1. @ Not Impressed…..dumbass…do you think Samsung would partner with Jay-z like this if it were True that nobody is checking for him? When is the last time you heard of a jayz concert NOT SOLD OUT? A corporation like this would not buy a million copies of an atirst if they though it wouild not return to them ten fold……..why do i even try to explain shit? done

      2. Up in the clouds, me and my spouse
        Rumors on the ground gettin’ too loud
        Please turn them shits down, can’t hear myself think
        Turbulence, shit, almost spilled my drink
        In the White House with a mink
        Running through that bitch like it’s my house
        All up in the hall like a mall
        Told you motherfuckers, all I do is ball
        No, I don’t ‘member you, I don’t intend to empty my memory bank
        It’s a million dollars in it, baby, Hilary Swank
        Sittin’ next to Hillary smellin’ like dank
        Presidental pardon, name one nigga out there harder than him
        I’ll wait
        I’ve been in my wave like 20 years straight
        I’ve been on my vibe like 20 years straight
        Don’t fuck up my high, fuck up my high
        Nights like this, I could fuck up a pie
        Still be straight (still be straight)
        Fall back, bitch, I got a lot on my plate
        Don’t waste my breath
        I don’t know how many moons a nigga got left
        Back to this joint, smokin’ this shit like I’m tryna’ prove a point
        I’m the highest, the highest title, numero uno
        Kill my vibe, that’s your motherfuckin’ funeral

    46. Can muafuckas have opinions witout a stan gettn mad? If u aint sayn hes the goat or hes rich somebody got something to say. Damn i agree wit dude below me black album was his last really really good album. O? Yal gon knock me now? Cuz i got jokes nigga!

      1. american gangster>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BA

      2. I stand corrected. I forgot all about that album. Dnt slp on black though. Justify my thug dec 4th threats

    47. Hov about to drop a classic! Checkout thegrandreport, they have some coo, entertai net news on there too

      1. That site pays me one dollar a day to promote them. As I am a welfare recipient wasting it all on crack, I need as much money as possible.

      1. “the big letter”

        has absolutely nothing to do with the holy grail, do these dudes realize how stupid they look trying to look smart?

      2. knowing jayz- well from his interviews and times i heard him speak he prob knows what hes doing and has a reason

    48. To all the haters of YMCMB, they make far more money than you do. YMCMB gets their money fairly while for Jay Z and Kayne West, their wives/girlfriends have 98% of their money. That’s why they aren’t promoting their albums that much.

      1. I never met you nor will I ever. You might be confusing me for one of the fakes on the website. Im straight and I get down on my girl Amanda.

      2. The impersonator above me is fake. Everyone knows I changed my name to Dentaldamman a while ago.

      3. uhuhuhuh I love you too dentaldamboy. The reason I go uhuhuh all the time is from him fucking my ass all the time. When he’s not around I’m stuck with fredyyy, jasonnn, micheal myers, nakedbrad, nakednurse and carrie (they’re transexuals) and we all have a big orgy together. uhuhuhuh!

      4. Actually, dentaldamman is seperate from me. Is that who you’re dating? Amanda is not a transsexual. You never even met her. There’s probably a dozen people using my name. Just note that everytime I say im straight, you’re looking for the wrong guy.

      5. Anyways, how’s business at YMCMB headquarters? How’s the YMCMB album coming along? Who else is Birdman going to sign?

      6. First off, Beavis and Butthead are mistaking me for Gerald. Second Kyle, business is going great. We are paying our artists fairly. The YMCMB album has evolved into the richgang album. Birdman’s daughter will be signed next. We are planning to promote the hell out of the album instead of waiting a week before release to announce it. Our richgang album will be the light of a wack hiphop season including Yeezy, JZ, Eminem.

      7. No, what Im saying is true. When Birdman watched that orgy between Nas, Jay Z, JT, and Timbaland, Jay Z cried out loud that he lost most of his money to his wife, Beyonce. He mentions that Kayne also lost most of his money to that gold digger, Kim Kardashian.

      8. Nothing you say is true, bitch. You have no evidence to back up your ridiculous claims. You’re making shit up in your head.

    49. cant wait for this.. hope we get that knowledge beast Z compared to kingdom come Z- either way should be a hot album. commerial was HELLA long though then im like the fuck that was a samsung commercial! loll

    50. As an account for cash money records I have the inside scoop on all of their finances. Birdman pays lil Wayne millions of dollars to keep quiet about the sexual abuse he has been administering since lil Wayne was a little boy. One look in Wayne’s eyes and you can see the tell tale signs of a rape victim. Birdman only let’s Wayne kiss him on the lips after he rinses His semen out of his mouth! That’s not gay! I would let Wayne lick my shithole while I’m jacking off and shitting, all while singing lollipop, with drake providing backup vocals! Young money for life!

      1. That’s an obvious fake. Birdman and Wayne do not do any of that gay shit. In fact, I’ve seen Wayne fuck hundreds of female bitches. That fake might be referring to Jay Z and Kayne West.

      2. @ dentaldamboy

        You watch lil wayne fuck a hundred bitches, really? Do you sit there and film it, then go home and beat off to lil waynes erect cock? Dentaldamboy is slowly coming out of the closet everybody. Aye bro, if you come back and comment on this, you have just shown everybody you have no life, the fact that you come back to this article and scroll down the comments again and again proves this. You aint no accountant, you a stay at home on welfare bum ass nigga.

      3. There you go lying again, dentaldambitch. You’ve never met Wayne and you don’t know him personally and he doesn’t know you, either.

      4. I told you I work as an accountant. I got his phone number, we pay our artists fairly, fathers and sons kiss all the time, it’s the circle of life, and im dentaldamBOY, not BITCH.

      5. Again, you have no evidence to back up your shit, just your words which isn’t enough. Everything you say is just delusional lies.

      6. Everything I say is delusional lies? How about what you say is bullshit. YOu’re just full of bullshit.

      7. This coming from a no-life troll who spends their entire day trolling the internet, making up bullshit lies and stories. Nobody believes you.

      8. It’s because as an accountant for YMCMB, I also promote YMCMB by posing on hiphopdx. And all you want to do is just talk shit about YMCMB.

      9. You’re not a fucking accountant; real accountants don’t talk shit on HipHopDX. This article has nothing to do with YMCMB; your trolling just showed up, bringing them up for no reason while trolling more. Quit with the lies.

      10. I’m sorry, I’m actually 28 years old transsexual and I live with my grandma. I am not an accountant, I hold a steady job as a restroom attendant at the local gay porn shop. I spend my spare time trolling hip hop sites pretending to be something I’m not, because the more time I spend being me, the more I want to swallow a shotgun. Please accept my apology. I still want to lick lil Wayne’s shithole while singing lollipop while birdman watches and jacks off.

    51. Tomorrow = Born Sinner Day. Cole made a better album than Kanye……one down one to go…..Hov is on deck July 4th.

      Dreamville. Born Sinner. June 18

      1. I think a lot of artists this year will make a better album than Kanye’s. Topping that album is nothing special.

      1. Kanye will not appear on this album, guaranteed. Much like Jay-Z not appearing on Yeezus. If you ask me, there’s a slight beef brewing between those two. I’ve heard that from a few different industry people in fact…

      2. If @RR is correct, then “Pompeii” was a very appropriate title for whoever wrote the tracklist to choose…

      3. whether this is real or not, I would love to see this album. Lots of tracks, good features… Why not?

    53. all mainstream rappers suck

      once they get like 100,000 fans they change there style to mainstream

      1. Surely Jay-Z would’ve almost certainly won that, given that this Samsung deal has made the album go platinum without even being released.

    54. Holy shiiiit! I get a new Jay album… On July 4th?! This is the best surprise since I seen Gator Tail on the restaurant menu last night!

    55. He can never be able to say he went platinum in a week, but now he will say he went plat before the album even dropped. Still corny.

      1. Whats it matter if they give them away or not? As long as they bought them in the first place.

        You saying if I buy an album and give it to someone, it shouldnt count as a sale?

      2. “Samsung has PURCHASED(PAID FOR, BOUGHT) 1 million copies of Jay’s next project, which will be titled Magna Carta Holy Grail”

        ^ stop telling the world you failed reading comprehension

    56. Samsung galaxy users get the album three days in advance, but everyone else can get the album four or five days before from leaks. Jay just played samsung like a harmonica.

      1. haha i told my boy that. he just got a galaxy 4 and was talkin about the getting the jay z album before everyone. i told him i will let him know how good the album is before he downloads it 🙂

      2. the samsung deal was the plot against dl’ing, that leak ain’t gonna hurt anything. already up around 10m before a single song was heard, album is paid for, no wonder Nas, Jay, JT, Timbo were all laughing in that last flick.

      3. hey OP, do you remember a little album called Watch the Throne? Kanye and Jay did their best to not have the album leak(and when it did it was very shitty sped up/slowed down quality)

        what makes you think he won’t do the same with this one. Samsung users are gettin the album first bro. and even if it does leak, Samsung users will get it HQ

    57. I’m a gay white boy who lives in mom’s basement, dropped out of high school, and jobless, so all I do is go on HipHopDX all day dickriding YMCMB.

      1. That’s bullshit lies. I live in my own house in Amanda’s room and I graduated from college, working as an accountant at YMCMB where I also support them by making comments on Hiphopdx.

      2. That guy above me is a fake. I live in my mom’s basement, whose name is Amanda, I dropped out of high school and never went to college, and I have no job.

      3. Bitch, you don’t know me, so stop talking like you do. Hop off my dick and go play World of Warcraft.

    58. Let me set one thing straight; we at Cash Money don’t know this dentaldamboy guy. Nothing he says is true. Our real accountant doesn’t go to HipHopDX and talk about us. Now excuse me while I go kiss Wayne and Mack Maine on the lips.

      1. That’s a fake from Juvenille. He used to work for me before trying to rape me. Juvenille even called me to confirm its true. Dentalboy works with us and I only kiss women on the lips. We support gay rights but we aren’t gay ourselves.

      2. A fake made by that dentalboy nigga. What he said is not true at all while everything I said is true.

    59. Let me set the record straight; I left Cash Money because Birdman and Slim weren’t paying me enough money and they tried to rape me, so I had to leave. Mannie, BG, Turk, and the others left for the same reason. Also, none of us know this dentaldamboy nigga; he never was an accountant. BTW, I had the best selling album in Cash Money history with 400 Degrees selling 4 million while Wayne’s best selling album, C3, sold 3 million.

      1. I saw this with my 2 own eyes. I paid you fairly yet you want to rape me and Wayne. Also, Tha Carter 3 actually sold 15 million including unaccounted copies. Dentalboy is here to stay.

      2. You lying ass nigga. You didn’t pay me fairly and you tried to rape me and the old crew. You’re wrong. The Carter 3 only sold 3 million copies, all sales count. Dentalboy is not a part of Cash Money, just a delusional stan.

    60. garenteed to be bettter than yeesus

      u cant be better than ur boss

      thats why maddcity sucked … dre doesnt want to make him a better record than his own

      jays will be better than coles to

      1. shows how stupid this mf is.. dre had 0 involvement with GKMC besides mixing it down to sound crisp..1 beat out of the entire album

    61. hopefully hip hop gets more serious dope lyrics with dark beats

      blueprint 3 was corny

      new decade new sound

      1. your stupid. jay z is the most consistent rapper in the game. from the 90’s til now his still making hits and still dropping platinum albums.. slow down buddy

      2. ^^ FOH,Jay aint made a hit since 2009, stop it. All he does is jump on whoever is hot at the moment and ride their wave…he uses niggas. that’s all he’s been doing his whole career.

      3. ^^you do know that was none of his solo songs, and he had to worst verse on all of them (and he was just using everyone on the song also)…so as stated above, he hasn’t made a hit in so long….50 should have directed that line he said at French to Jay-Z.

      4. How was Hov using everyone on those tracks when they weren’t HIS songs to begin with. Watch The Throne was a joint effort with kanye, 50-50 and he was a guest on those good tracks

    62. Download “Black Skinhead,” “I am a God,” & “New SLaves” For FREE @

      Fast and free downloads on the hottest songs of the week for your ipod!
      Thanks for support!

    63. I’m going to be honest I feel like this is a LITTLE over the top with how he’s pushing his album

    64. Idk about this one. This is good for Jay-Z but probably not the best thing for hip hop overall music wise. Jay-Z goes platinum by default, but albums officially become promo material and throw ins for other stuff.

      What next a new Lil Wayne album with every happy meal? Or a G.O.O.D. music album with the purchase of an iPhone.

    65. Is it just me, or is he a scumbag for announcing this while Cole’s trying to promote the album he’s dropping tomorrow?

      1. Not really, Coles album is dropping in like a week or so, and will still close out its fist week before Hov’s album drops so I don’t see the problem. Plus…people can buy/download/commentate on more than one album at a time

    66. Pre-publicity certified platinum is the new business. Tie ins are a great accompaniment to traditional album sales and will prove to help do away with promotional budgets coming out of the artist cut. Brilliant. I’m a fan of his business accoutrements to making money as well as his creativity.

      1. co sign. hes basically turning reality the whole myth about record labels buying their own artists copies- but legit if that makes any sense.

    67. All the producers mentioned, with the exception of Rick Rubin, are trash…..Timbaland, Swizz, and Pharrell are not hip hop. They are techno-pop producers…..
      Jay should get in the lab with Just Blaze, Ski Beats, Kanye, and Statik Selektah.

      1. Pharrell and Timbaland are genre-diverse producers, as is Kanye. Swizz wasn’t a good producer to start with.

        Jay with Statik Selektah

      2. you must of just been born .. you probably dont even know who DILLA is .. I GOT TIMBO IN MY TOP 5, DEAD OR ALIVE PRODUCERS .. HES TIED WITH DRE AT #2 HOMIE.. DILLA ONE .. NO ONE IS TOUCHING DILLA

      3. Swiss wasn’t good producer??? LMAO

        These fucking kids…. You need to be shot in face and fucked in the arse.

        Do the knwoledge….

      1. kanye is on some punk rock shit right now…..from the beats i heard..Jay-z trying to get gritty bust ya shit open beats….

    68. Without a reasonable doubt this was a smart move. I will try my best to be one of the million to download this on my Samsung galaxy 3

    69. yall check out that Young Dro Day 2 mixtape yet, its got a few bangers on it, and you already know B.o.B. and T.I. both kill the tracks theyre on. I got mines at www. HipHopGood .com they got all the albums and music on it HipHopGood be haven that new Ye Cole and Miller too, and im sure theyll hav the deluxe edition of That Yeezus up first to

    70. “^ FOH,Jay aint made a hit since 2009, stop it. All he does is jump on whoever is hot at the moment and ride their wave…he uses niggas. that’s all he’s been doing his whole career.”

      No truer statement made in this whole entire post.

      1. what artist isn’t doing that today?FOH with that bs…same muhfuckas mouthing off will be the first ones downloading his shit…fraudulent muhfuckas I swear

      2. @STYB, who exactly did Jay make?

        this dude has no loyalty, and will use anybody to keep himself at the top. check his history.

      3. Sooo, he hasn’t had a hit since 09? Oh, you mean when his last album dropped? haha Sorry he don’t play that semi-pro mixtape game no more. That’s totally ignoring Watch the Throne with its hits too.

      4. ^^ c’mon, admit it…WTT was a Kanye album feat Jay. In all reality, Jay wasn’t needed on that album…b/c if I gave you 10 sec you couldn’t quote me one memorable line from Jay on that album, but i’m sure you would remember a few of Ye’s…don’t get me wrong, this dude is a great artist, and maybe even this best ever, but true niggas don’t respect how this nigga move.

    71. he turned something that was really frowned upon and made a ton of money off it. because record compaines who were really doing that wasnt giving the albums away for free they was trying to sell them shits trying to recoup. partnering with samsung was brilliant he sell albums and samsung can get more users to buy they phones… he really got that hustler spirit period

    72. this album dont need to be a gamechanger..just some solid jayz shit. somethin original and hot. jayz consistant minus kingdom come and BP3 wasnt really all that

      1. Soooo, he’s consistent except for his last two solo albums aka any solo album he dropped in the past 10 years?

    73. If the music on the album actually sounds like the music in the commercial NYC Hip-Hop might just have a monster of an album on their hands this Summer.

      1. really….Dmx is a shell of himself…and a struggling drug addict..he can barely stay on beat at times…Wayne doesn’t talk about shit and says dumb shit like…”smoke so much/ smokey the bear gonna have to bare with us”—dumbass cartoon shit. You would have made more since if you would have said, andre 3000, Eminem, Nas….. fuck outta here. And I am a fan of Dmx…but truth is truth…now the Darke and Hell is HOT dmx….all day…that nigga was raw!

    74. STop it with the Lil Wayne Jay-Z comparisons. Just stop it. It’s like comparing LeBron to Jordan. Just plain ignorant.

      IANAHM2 is Wayne’s 10th album. BP3 was Hov’s 11TH. Counting collaboration albums like Watch The Throne and Best Of Both Worlds, Jay-Z has 15 albums, 12 of which are #1’s. IANAHM2 will be Wayne’s 4th #1.

      Jay-Z sold 31 million records in the US ALONE, with his Highest selling album (Vol. 2) selling 8 mill worldwide. Wayne has only sold 8 million TOTAL, with highest selling (C3) moving 3 mill.

      Jay-Z has 4 #1 singles. Wayne has 2.

      At metacritic, which is a site that averages the ratings of all album reviews from publications like Rolling Stone and XXL, Jay-Z has an overall score of 75/100, one of the highest for a rapper; with his highest rated album (The Blueprint) receiving an 88/100, indicating “universal acclaim”. Lil Wayne has a score of 62/100, not bad but not Hov. His highest rated album (Tha Carter III) received an 82/100.

      The only the Wayne has more of than Jay-Z are mixtapes, tatoos, and fairweather fans that love him now but will be no where to be found 10 years from now.

      Is Lil Wayne better than Jay-Z right now? Depends on who you ask. Is Lil Wayne better overall? NOT A CHANCE.

      Its still up for debate weather Jay-Z is the best to ever do it or not, but Wayne is no where near this mans legacy. PERIOD.
