Is LL Cool J Bitter About Jay-Z’s Platinum Status? [Video]

Everyone is not buying into the whole Jay-Z Platinum hype.  LL talks to Diddy’s Revolt TV and says that although he respects that Jay sold a million, that is not how he would sell a million.  He says that the people are not getting “touched”.

WHAT DA FUQ?

In his exact words….(just in case the video below gets deleted)

Numbers are Numbers. In the numbers is truth, but in terms of touching the people it’s a little different.”

“For me as an artist I still want to be able to touch the people individually.”

“It still matters to me that people individually went out and bought my record. Although I still think a million sold is a million sold, but for me I like to know that a million PEOPLE bought my record, not a company bought a million copies of my record.”

I hear what LL is saying but if I were him I would wait for the numbers to come out tomorrow morning.  Currently Jay is on track to sell 450K to 500K in his first week.  Not to mention his past track record of uber success.

All of Jay’s solo studio albums released since 1999 have debuted with more than 400,000.  He has the most number 1 albums in chart history only to be beat by the Beatles.

So how’s that for touching individuals Cool James?  So what if he sells a million and then sells a million?

In case you were wondering,  LL’s latest brick which included a disastrous track with Brad Paisley sold just 14,000 copies in it’s first week.

I say stick to TV, stay out of movies, lick your lips and don’t make any more rap albums.  Jay is still relevant and you are not.

Here is LL talkin’ nonsense….

When Jay saw the video clip he was like….

All the way to the bank!
