If you compare numbers, he's only trailing Em by like 20 million.

Imagine if he was white...

    Either way i think nowadays white fans probably outnumber the fans of any other race, due to all the music that is classified as "RAP", that they can relate to, with styles of clothes changing etc and play a strong part in an artists sale and popularity today..

    But I think if jAY was white, he would only be a highest selling artist if he had simliar content like EM...

    cause it seems white fans find it easy to relate to the "my dad penetrated my ass" type of lyrics that Em drops.. and the "butt ? the game up" lyrics, that he has... so if Jay was white AND had that, then i'd say odds are YES he'd be number 1 in sales, probably alongside EM also
