If you had asked us last week what number we associate Jay-Z and Kanye West with, we would probably have given a figure in the millions.
And, that would be have been acceptable, considering that both rappers are millionaires, have sold millions of records and are both a million times cooler than any of us.
DETAILS: MUSIC HEAVEN: Jay-Z, Kanye West, & Another Throne Album Coming 2012?!
However, if you asked us today, we would say ten. Ten because that is the number of times Jay and his BFF, Kanye West, performed their club banger “N*ggas in Paris” in L.A. last night.
Now, we love that song as much as anybody, but that is an astonishing amount of times to hear the same track (to be precise, that’s more than 33 minutes of “N*ggas In Paris” being performed).

It is such a quirky and outlandish feat that it got us thinking of other interesting numbers that we can associate the two with.
Check out our Jay and Kanye Numerology, and break down some numbers with us.

Nine: The age of Jay-Z’s alleged illegitimate child.
This rumor came out when the child’s grandfather told Star magazine that Shenelle Scott, a Trinidadian model, birthed Hov’s child and that the rap star still pays child support for the child to this day.

Eight: The number of charms around Jay’s neck.
According to the Watch The Throne banger “Who Gon Stop Me” Jay has “One neck but got eight charms.” Thanks for reminding us that you only had one neck, Hov.

Seven: The amount of Grammy nominations Kanye West got this year.
Kanye got the most Grammy nominations this year. However, he did not get a nomination for Album of The Year. And yes we are still pissed.

Six: Jay is over six feet tall.
He’s 6’3, to be exact. No wonder why everyone calls him “The Big Homie!”

Five: The number of solo albums Kanye West has.
Five albums in a seven-year stretch. That’s not a bad run for The Louie Vuitton Don, considering that at least three of those albums are bonafide classics.

Four: The amount of mics Jay-Z’ first album, Reasonable Doubt, got in The Source.
Reasonable Doubt getting only four mics when it first dropped was one of the biggest robberies in hip-hop history. Jay-Z described it best in “44 Fours” when he said, “they lacked foresight.”

Three: The amount of Blueprint albums Jay has released.
Jay showed us the blueprint on how to run the game three times already.

Two: Jay-Z had 22 of these numbers back in 1996.
Back in his rookie year, Jay asked us “Can we kick it?” on “22 Twos.” He then spit a wicked rhyme, saying two 22 times.

One: Jay has the most number one albums in history.
When The Blueprint 3 debuted back in September 2009, it came in at number one. This was historic because this meant that Jay has had 11 number one albums throughout his career, beating out Elvis Presley, who only had a measly 10 number one albums.
