Jay-Z may have invoked new rules with the digital sales of his Magna Carta Holy Grail , however some rappers still admire the traditional route. Grammy Award winning rapper LL Cool J talked to REVOLT TV about the number in sales versus contact with fans.

"I think in the numbers it's truth, but in terms of touching the people it's a little different," LL told Revolt TV. "For me as an artist, I still want be able to touch the people individually. It still matters to me that people individually went out and bought my record, although I do think that a million records sold is a million records sold. There's no question about that. You can't argue with math. But for me I like to touch the people directly. I like to know that a million people went out and bought my album. Not that I sold a million records to a company, that's different."

Both LL and Jay have been influential in the hip-hop industry, accumulating accolades and breaking album sale records respectively. However, Jay-Z's digital deal in which Samsung purchased 1 million copies of Magna Carta Holy Grail available to fans for free digital download, was an innovated modernized way to touch fans, via what they are connected to most-technology.

Jay-Z's iconic Samsung collaboration influenced the Recording Industry of America to adapt the rules regarding digital sales declaring Magna Carta Holy Grail Platinum prior to its release.
