Kay Slay says the South's reign is 'over'

[Verstyle]

hey smokin is hiphop is dead cd a platinum cd?? in all seriousness

[Tha Greatest]

If Kay Slay wants to talk numbers then why doesn't he bring up the East Coast artist's numbers. Last time I checked the Southern artist's numbers were still better than the East.

I don't know why Kay Slay is always beating around the bush. He should just man up and say he doesn't like the South running the game. He's just hoping and praying that the East coast gets thier turn and if they do we will never hear the end of it. Now that the South is on top no one likes it. The South has always been held down and they always respected the other sides and never talked **** until recently. They finally get thier shine and everyone wants to come out and all of a sudden say that they are not hip hop.

More than half these idiots don't know what hip hop is. Everyone is saying that the South is just looking to get rich. Of course they are. I can guarantee you every rapper out there who has a deal including Nas is looking for as much money as they can. They may be doing it for the love but if it was strictly for the love of rapping they wouldn't spend thousands of dollars for top notch production. That right there tells you they are looking to make some kind of money.

I'll tell you this, the South must be doing something right if every other artist wants to get with them or the sound. And that's the ****ing truth.

What the hell are you talking about?

Did you NOT read the part where Kay Slay was giving credit to UGK, Three 6 Mafia, TI, Scarface, etc....

He's not talking about them, he's talking about the ****in mainstream bull****...

I'm not saying he doesn't like some southern artists but it's not hard to see that Kay Slay doesn't like the fact that the south is running the game. He's been talking **** for awhile and now he's seen a couple of bad album sales and wants to say the south is finished.

Like I said if he wants to make his decision based on album sales then he should look at the east coast. They are doing alot worst than the south.

Heres some recent SoundScan #'s.
Bold is the total sales of the album so far.

Nas Hip Hop Is Dead 101,103 -71 354,524 456,983
Young Jeezy Inspiration: Thug 91,774 -50 184,872 630,199
Jay-z Kingdom Come 60,932 -55 135,979 1,206,799
Game Doctor's Advocate 40,401 -33 60,201 751,674
Birdman & Lil' Wayne Like Father 34,790 -27 47,369 502,041
Lil Scrappy Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live 21,713 -34 33,043 170,508
Ludacris Release Therapy 38,107 -43 67,216 976,954
Yung Joc New Joc City 7,709 -39 12,559 871,379
T.i. King 8,729 -28 12,126 1,593,362
Ying Yang Twins Chemically 10,550 -30 15,055 90,016

For the south on that Soundscan, Joc has sold almost a mil. He will be plat in a few weeks. TI was a monster on the charts this year with a platinum album. Jay-Z will sell the most of any Hip Hop album as he already is close to TI and his album dropped 3 months ago. Ludacris will go Plat again also.

Ying Yang Twins fell off, Birdman and Wayne did about gold. Scrappy fell of hard as well along Clipse, Styles P, and Mos Def (Clipse pushing about 145 k Styles P 60 k and Def 11k)

This should give some sales arguements some facts.

[The Fix]

kay slay is just looking for somebody to hate....now that his boy nas is cool with jay.... kay needs to fill that hole.

[sisforshaq]

why is nas ahead of him in the top 200billboard then?

Because his album just came out and that is just his total sales, the top 200 is by weekly sales.
