The Official Rick Ross "God Forgives I Don't" Discussion thread (Release Date 07/31/12)

[Washington_Red]

If this album doesnt outsell Ambition or Sideline Story or TM103 its a flop. AND it fucks up the label. How you gonna run a crew if you arent the highest selling act? (Meek is gonna do better numbers than Wale when he drops).

I Love My Bitches was a dope single that didnt get enough push. Now Ross is in that label trap of looking for a radio hit. After the last 2 years of being "hot" and having "buzz" he shouldnt be fishing for a hit right now.

Of course, nobody on the internet knows anything about sales, so for all I know he's about to go platinum.

Meek already the biggest star on that label based off what really matters, the music. I've heard it too many times "I dont like Ross, But the nigga he signed Meek is dope as fuck". Imma cop that Meek album even though ima be putting a few scents in a fake nigga & jew pockets

We're counting on Meek to bring the East back. The whole coast is gonna be checking for him when he drops.

 

[BackInWhite]

i said what last time?

that this was jeezy's last album?

he ain't dropped another album since then, nigga

what the fuck is yall talkin bout?

i never said recession was his last album

i ain't never been no stan but i'm still dismissing jeezy

"i ain't got nothin gold but some gold chains"

and a gold album

you know what that is? jeezy not doin jeezy numbers

seems like i'm right so far

and this nigga said he poppin champagne if ross album flop

yeen got no kinda life, doggie

shit is sad

Nigga going Gold is a huge accomplishment.

"i ain't got nothin gold but some gold chains"

goin gold for jeezy braggin ass is like braggin ass 50 cent goin gold

niggas make it about sales but then underachieve

 

[Knives Amilli]

Yeah I don't know what the fuck happened between Teflon Don and God Forgives that made him go in a completely different direction. Granted I ain't heard the album yet, but it sounds like he's gone completely left field compared to his previous albums.

 

[Billy_Poncho]

Meek nice, but mixtape d/l's don't equal huge album sales. Hell, Gucci's new joint got over a million dls on Datpiff in a couple weeks, doesn't mean he's gonna sell albums.

 

[Trockm]

I doubt it, too many MMG heads out here now for that to happen.

Birdman

Birdman is the asterisk of the rap game. Whatchu think the head tat represents?

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

well when you outwardly are not leaning toward the pop top 40 audience it is tough to get raw sales for any album not just ross.

 

[Wild Self]

Ross was red hot in 2011 with the hype he had. Now, it seems to be fading. This album will measure his hardcore fanbase and how much they will support him in times like these.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Meek gonna sell more the Ross

Album sales don't really mean anything but I agree, I don't believe it will do that well commercially. Ross has certainly peaked creatively and seems to be digressing these days. He's worse than before.

?

A million sales brings in several million dollars. Plus exposure,radio plays,possibly endorsements, guest appearances, the possibilities are limitless the better you do. And this is one of them rappers thats tryin to get all he can get. The successful record co's/artists are definitely trying to sell as many Albums as possible cause thats better than not sellin none obviously.(assuming this comment was real, not sarcastic).

He already has all that. You definitely getting the dumbass nigga on the ic award for the month and I don't even like picking on idiots like you but you make it too easy. Ross makes money off of everyone on that label. Now a days albums are just to keep your buzz up anyways. It's a proven fact you can sell millions and not make SHIT off of it. Ross won't sell THAT well because his audience is the streets and the streets don't buy albums. I agree that his singles haven't really been buzzin either. None of this matters though, the album will get a good review, he'll keep touring, keep making money, keep rocking wack ass reebok so they can cut that check, and meek is up next so he'll make bread off his shit.

 

[Gen. Stasia]

Meek buzz is bigger than Ross. Use to Be, Amen and Burn is all u hear out here.

Everybody waiting on that Meek album nobody really talking about that Ross or Self Made album.

 

[DaBull]

50 gave Ross the deathblow, its a delayed reaction, niggaz thought he survived cuz of that BMF single, he slowly becoming the Yayo of his own crew

yup Dreamchasers 2 stay being bumped around where i live more than rich forever. I also been working at a marketing firm for the last month and been around my state of CT in every hood in the state and all i hear when i have days in the field is meeks DC2 is the top bumped peice of music in peoples whips.

This is the reason why i responded in the "does ross have pressure for GFID" thread with a hell no. Ross falling back like birdman did with cash money. The only difference is he doesn't kiss his artists like birdman does lmao.

 

[32DaysOfInfiniti]

If youtube views are any indicator, his new single after a week hasnt crack 500k views yet. I dont know what you would consider a flop, but i can see he's not going platinum

 

[nujerz84]

Gold is the new platinum in 2012

 

[GeE-757]

[DOPEdweebz]

Ross going to do typical gold numbers. As for Meek Millz, love the yougn, but I feel he wont outdo Ross at all in terms of sales. He'll do respectable J Cole-like (no usmarin3) numbers probably around 200, 000 out the gate. I hope he does even more cuz I'm pulling for him and everyone on MMG.
