RIAA certifcations

Acoording to Billboard.com, 3 million shipments have been made (Triangle + additional 2) therfore shoudn't the album have been certified TRIPLE platinum?????

Should you put up the DVD/CD cover as well? http://www.h22s.com/imghost/uploads/Other%20Kingdom%20Come%20Cover.jpg

Yes, please if someone could upload the image and post it (similar to the Tha Blue Carpet Treatment and Doctor's Advocate)

Pain in Da Ass

PIDA didn't do Scarface/Tony Montana impressions on Reasonable Doubt; he did Omar's (the guy who offered Tony and Manny the "five grand" deal).

To add, he (or was it Clark Kent? I need to check that XXL article on Reasonable Doubt) did a Carlito Brigante impression from Carlito's Way on Brooklyn's Finest.

Critical Reception

I added a separate Critical Reception record and merged the comment on the Prelude. I tried to make it sound as objective and unbiased as possible and only mentioned the Hollywood track because nearly every listed review mentioned it by name. Please feel free to edit if it sounds biased but please don't delete. Wuthai 03:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well critically, i wouldn't say it's been panned, but it hasn't gotten great reviews either. and in terms of Jay's "hypocrisy," first off that's not a criticism i've noticed in reviews, and "continued hypocrisy" is POV. it really doesn't apply to this album anyway, considering a lot of the lyrical themes here have nothing to do with materialism/flossing like some of his other stuff does. 134.69.166.175 10:28, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

P-Money

it's not P-Money who produced the Prelude, but B-Money

"It has also been criticized for not having a strong choice of production"

OK, i haven't listened to the album yet.. but damn; i see 9 tracks by Dr Dre, Just Blaze, Kanye West and the Neptunes. if u threw in timbaland then u'd have (in my educated opinion) the 5 best hip hop producers there are, by quite a way. chris martin (whilst an unusual choice) is an excellent creator of music, and coldplay albums are well produced. swizz beats is a bit hit or miss.. that leaves 3 tracks/producers which are questionable. hardly not 'a strong choice of production' overall. if u mean something more specific, then make that clear.. or find citations or its outta here.

Album Cover

If you have the physical copy of Kingdom Come, you can take the cd booklet out of its case, and you will see another image of Jay-Z, and if you take the back cover of the album out of its case, you won't just see the back of Jay-Z's head, but an image of him turned towards you. Both images are layered on top of each other, in red and green. Does anyone know the imaging style that was used for this color effect? Thanks. --24.231.36.10 02:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

R&B Singers?

The article says something like "The only guests on the album are R&B singers like Chrisette Michelle and Beyoncé". Chris Martin's not an R&B singer - neither's Pharrell really.Thesean43 18:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Brion and Dr. Dre

Would you guys/bots stop undoing my snearing edit? Jon Brion is not credited for producing or doing anything else on "Do You Wanna Ride?" or anywhere else on the album and Dr. Dre is not listed as either a producer or writer on "Beach Chair." I would say check the liner notes for proof of this but whatever idiots keep including these inaccuracies probably don't have a copy of the album and are just making it up as they go along, so go here: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:wzftxqtrldae Click on the credits for the whole album and the writing credits on "Beach Chair." You'll see you're wrong. Die. User:Anonymous 09:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

unanimous agreement?

how is there unanimous agreement that this is his worst album? especially since it has practically all good reviews — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.7.183 (talk) 22:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Can someone please tell me why it says it came out November 21st and then about 4 inches to the right it says it dropped November 20th.. I'm guessing November 21st since it was a Tuesday and most rap albums drop on Tuesdays. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.225.196.132 (talk) 13:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
