"Jay-Z's Coronation"


With his latest album The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z has earned his 11th number one album on the Billboard Charts. The rap mogul surpasses Elvis Presley(10 number one albums)
and is now only second to arguably the greatest band of all time, the Beatles.
This being Jay's 11th number one album, he currently trails the Beatles(19 number one albums) by 8. No other hip hop artist is even in the top ten. Can Jay-Z now forever engrave his status as the "King of Hip Hop?"

10 number 1 albums in a row,
who better than me?
Only the Beatles nobody ahead of me,
I crush Elvis in his blue suede shoes,
Made the rolling stones seem sweet as coolaid 2,
96, 97, 98, 99, 2000, 2001 and beyond,
02, 03, 04, 05, 06 and 7, 08, 09
Back to back double plat, I did what you want,
men lie women lie, numbers don’t.
Jay-Z "Reminder"
