Jay-Z Sells Out & Kanyes Eminem

Oct 09 | by Natasha

Jay-Z is officially in another realm. He sold out his upcoming show at London's Alexandra Palace (November 4th) in just 15 seconds just this morning. This is after his tickets for his Sept. 18th concert he did at London's Roundhouse sold out in just a few hours. It's f'n Jay-Z mania in the UK. Hov also sent in his acceptance speech for his "Hottest MC In the Game" Award from MTV. He pulled a Kanye and said Eminem deserved to be on the list because he outsold damn near everybody this year:

“MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation,” Jay wrote. “Although I don’t strive to be ‘hot’ for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term ‘best rapper alive’ as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I’ve allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that’s why I continue to push myself until exhaustion … salute. “Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may … Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission,” Jay continued. “As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year. (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)”

Hilarity.

Cute but not funny until I

Cute but not funny until I see it ... I just saw a post on GG where he said M.J. was a back up vocalist on his "Girls, Girls, Girls" song but he never put his name on the credits of the album .... wow that was nice of M.J. to you, it goes to show what type of person he was ... a man about the music and the craft but not the money. Unlike some people nowadays.

I agree with him though. Rappers in the game are terrified of Eminem. You cant beat him so you have to align yourself with him...

Hey Tash, I went all the way

Hey Tash, I went all the way back to the last page on your site and I must say you have DEF stepped up your game since 2005. (I should hope so) Also, can we please get the pix from Diddy's party where he invited Kim and Cassie. Just want to witness how these ladies continue to play their position for this dude. It's funny to me. Both of these ladies love this man and he keeps them hanging on. Note to Cassie: Kim is NOT going anywhere, please move on. You are young and beautiful and no need to keep your hopes up. He will always CATER to her because believe me if KIM is not happy, DIDDY will NOT be happy and therefore YOU will NEVER be happy in that relationship. I'm out!

Don't get me wrong when Em first came out I was like Damn this dude is HOTTT, But he hasn't grown as an artist. It's the same shit he was spitting 5 yrs ago. it's like he limits himself to dissing (women) people. I'm over it, try again Em.

Im with you! I mean... he just doesnt have that many fans as he used to. Its very possible he could have pulled a 50 Cent and purchased tickets or had his people purchase tickets. I mean, Im not a JayZ fan but hey... I guess thats nice. You know his stans are as bad as his wife's so...... um, yeah be careful lol

THIS! I'm a former Eminem fan and even to this day, I still believe he's a good MC but after awhile, you realize that he's limited. His anger towards EVERYTHING was perfect for my badass wannabe 12 yo self lol but now, I'm just like 'grow up or stfd'. That being said, as shitty as I thought it was, his album did sell so I'm glad Jay-Z called MTV out. That list was very questionable though. They had Gucci Mane and Drake on it. Like O RLY? -_-

(*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)” ^ *dead* Jay a fool for this. He could have also added "Em is the best MC in the game right now..he killed me on one of my own tracks "Renagade"..so im confused at how you have me #1 and not him. Its cool..MTV you can continue kissing my @ss though". LMAO!! Im just kidding. Congrats to Jay.

Not wanting to hate on Jay

Not wanting to hate on Jay but I know from past experience of trying to get tickets that it isn't necessarily fans buying up the tix. Usually what happens is they get sold out superfast by parasites who then sell them on a few well known UK sites for ridiculous prices. I know people who've done it and made serious money 'cause they know fans want tix. But Jay and the like are making their money off ticket sales either way so it doesn't really matter to them.
