It's Not About What He Does Or Says...O.K....Sometimes It's About What He Says...But How In The Hell Your Gonna Sell 1 Million Copies And Not 1 Million People Heard Your Cd Yet.

Mind You Alotta People Are Downloading Music....So My Point Is...What's The Point Of Downloading Then Goin Out And Gettin The Cd..."Supporting Your Artist You Say"...Shit I Don't Even Do That Shit To Ja's Music...The Only Ja CD I've Honestly Baught Was "VVV"...And That's Only Because I Got It Cheap...And This Was Back When It First Came Out...And Not Like 2 Or 3 Years Later.

Eminem Is A Good Artist Fantastic Spitter...But Cmon Man You Have Dude Who Put In Work Way More Than Em And He Still Sells More...NOOOOOO...Eminem Sells Off His Name..."The Way You Lie" Is Not That Dope...Rihanna Sounds About Lazy As Hell On The Track..."Not Afraid" Is Dumb But Catchy....So What I'm Tryna Say Is Sometimes It's All About What You Say In Albums...And To Be Honest...Speaking For Myself Half The Shit Eminem Says Outta His Mouth Is Gibberish To Me Sometimes...I Can Relate To Some Of His Songs...But Maybe Eminem Is Gettin A Little Annoyin To Me Maybe It's His Voice.

But Yea...Eminem Is Sellin Off His Name...No Way In The World 1 Million People Can Say His Album Is Dope From Back To Front...We Buy Albums Now-A-Days Because Of The Singles Produced Out To People...And "Not Afraid" Is Not A Good Enough Single To Produce 1 Million Sells...It's Just Not Possible.

Example: Soulja Boy Has A New Song Out Right Now "Pretty Boy Swag"...Tearin The Clubs Up Right Now "Roscoe Dash" All The Way Turnt Up Was Another Hot Song...."Ain't I" By Yung LA...Another Hot Song...."B.O.B.- Nothin On You" Another Hot Song.

They All Have Hot Singles But Can't Produce Album Sales Because How Big They Are In The Industry...Eminem On The Other Hand Either Sells Off 1 Or 2 Things...Either His Name Or His Lyricisiam(However You Spell It)...And Sellin Because Of His Lyrics I Can Understand....But Sellin Off Your Name Is A Terrible Way To Stay On Top.

So I'm Leaning Twards Eminem Sellin Because He's A Dope Lyricist...But Ja's A Better Artist To Me...Cause When He Spits He's Lyrical And I Understand/Relate To The Shit He's Saying.

Maybe I'm Just Givin Eminem A Hard Time And Not Enuff Credit???

I Like Shit I Can Rap And Sing 2(I Know It Sounds Gay But Just Being Honest I'm A Ja Fan Damn It).

But Anyway...I Think If It Ain't About Money Goes Well For My Taste Of Music Right Now...I Ain't No Street Kinda Nigga So I Couldn't Appriciate Songs Like "BMF" Cause I Ain't That Type Of Person...But It's A HOT SONG.

So That's Why I Would Go With Fat Joe...Cause Not Only Is He Thinkin About The Streets He's Tryna Catch Females Ears With His Music 2.

So Yea...I Go With Joe.

Ha Ha Vs. BMF: Hardcore Rap Songs

Super High Vs. If It Ain't About Money: Pop/Rap Songs

So Far Joe's Winnin Both In My Book But

i like rick ross' album better, and thats not just bein bias or anything like that. im just keepin it 100.

for those people who said that darkside was "ONE OF" fat joe's best was completely correct. elephant in the sand was more of a complete album than darkside was. darkside idk, it was more like a mixtape. it went hard though.

but ross' album and joes album is not even comparable...like i said before, the lyrics is on a whole different level. and the content and all that.

BUT. let me give joe ALL his props cuz he completely impressed me. i like artist who will drop these types of albums, it shows a lot of heart and guts. people NEVER (or atleast barely) get success off of a complete street ablum. and also as an ablum idk y u would want to risk that, keep mainstream happy with elephant in the sand and keep street niggas happy with mixtapes...thats just the rule of thumb. specially for someone like fat joe.
