I found this on XXL’s website. It is outtakes from the interview they did with Jigga for the cover story of December’s issue. Here are a few of Carter’s thoughts on his first week sales, 50 Cent, Eminem, Nas, Fox Brown and the real Frank Lucas.
He also says who he thinks are the best in the game…
The Jigga Opinion
On first week album sales predictions:
The only thing I think about the first week is… I got a string right, and I’m in a tie with the Beatles or something. I think the Beatles are number one and the Rolling Stones. It’s either, Elvis, the Beatles and the ‘Stones. They’re all in the running. It’s me and them. I’m in the company of those four. So the next number one album puts me over another one of them. That’s what I think about the first week. Other than that, I really think about making a great album. Because that part of it is over for me. It’s really just a challenge of making music and have everybody love it. The more people love it, the better for me. That’s it, because, I’m not going to make no money off the album. What am I going to do, recoup? [Laughs] That ain’t never going to happen.
