Joe Budden podcast done? No Rory or Mal for 2nd straight episode

Sold 4 plus million..do yall believe the Jay feature helped push it to 4?
No.

Jay-Z was not Drake at that time. As in, there was a period were Drake being on your song brought more attention to an artist/song (stimulus package). Similar was true for Wayne and features. I feel like people use to get more excited to hear DMX or for a brief period DMX was more popular than Jay. At this point, I don't think Rocafella was Rocafella yet.

I don't recall anyone ever talking about the Ha remix. To be fair, I was bearly in jr high school. It would be different if the remix had a video. I feel like that song/video was already going which would explain why Jay would hop on it.

Jay-Z was closer to a regular artist at this point. In my opinion, he starts to transition around the Blueprint. The Black album comes out and he goes into fake retirement,returns, runs def jam and eventually goes on to Rocnation. From that point on, he's like a mythical figure who is hated or love.
