Rapper Jay-Z Takes On Elvis For Most #1 Albums

By Houston Williams
If all goes Jay-Z's way, the rap mogul will tie rock legend Elvis for the most number one albums in history, a feat that depends on the success of the rapper's American Gangster album.

Jay-Z, born Shawn Carter, landed his ninth number one album last year with Kingdom Come, which sold about 680,000 in its first week, the rapper's best to date.

The Kingdom Come album put Jay-Z in a tie with another iconic rock act, The Rolling Stones, who have landed number nine number one albums throughout their 40-year career.

If Jay-Z's American Gangster sells well, only The Beatles would have offered the music world more number one albums, with an incredible 19.

American Gangster's main opposition include Cassidy’s highly anticipated album B.A.R.S. and Nas' Greatest Hits package which landed in stores today (November 6) as well.

In related news, Jay-Z announced that the American Gangster album will not be available on iTunes.

"As movies are not sold scene by scene, this collection will not be sold as individual singles," Jay-Z said, noting that the album could be purchased online at Rocafella.com, Amazon.com and Rhapsody.com.

In addition to debuting a video for "Roc Boys" this week, Jay-Z will be featured on VH1's Storytellers series, which airs on November 8.

I am only about 6 songs through it, but I am loving a few of the tracks....hopefully the rest of the CD will be as good as the start. Just a different sound to his beats on this CD.

That's because Diddy and somebody else went in the studio with him and produced them.

I'm interested in hearing this album.

I like the whole thing.. Only a few that didnt strike me right away, but my after I listen more.. Its definitly not the radio rap these days where all you have to do is memorize a hook and your good.. Whole cd is top notch..

Actually.. The beats that Diddy did were made in the 90's and he just found them.. Diddy and the Hitmen made them.. And Jay scooped them up right away when hearing them specifically for the cd..

I looked at the credits last nite..

Diddy and the Hitmen do about 75%
Just Blaze does one or two
and the Neptunes do one or two

There might be another person Im forgetting that doesnt have a well known name, but those are the producers..

There's a cool article in Entertainment Weekly about the making of this CD.


Found it online for you...good read.

I am seriously starting to think that perhaps you may have multiple personality disorder.

I hear you. The Devon we see in this thread, and the Devon from P&R are polar opposites.

Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind
He's the, he's the dopest trip
