ross' raps are so fantasy he might as well just rap about star wars, lord of the rings and shit.

"I think I'm Han Solo! Chewbacca! Fightin the Empire! You know the force gotcha!"

 

[GunTown]

Problem with rappers like Rick Ross, Jay Z, Slaughterhouse, Cassidy, Pusha T, Jadakiss, Fabolous, T.I., Snoop Dogg is if u heard 1 song u heard them all

All their songs sound the same and they use the same formula RnB singer featuring and doing the hook, same drug content, heavy on punchlines, main talent being their Flows

Album sold 100k in the first week.... Ross is done niggas
http://allhiphop.com/2014/03/11/rick-ross-mastermind-becomes-1-allbum-selling-over-100k-copies/

That album is not going to go gold.

Wale is gonna jump ship by the end of 2014 & take wit him Ross' ear for beats, Meek will go next & run his own label. MMG will later become a hub for up & coming artists but they'll never really stay.

Mark my words niggas I got the shining...

dont they have another day or two to count sales?

lol @ niggas acting like if he had some comp it would b impossible for him to go number 1

what comp you talking about he not outselling Jay, Nas, Ye, Em, drake, wayne etc.

thats 5 artists, oh wow, such a huge amount of competition, b4 this album he was consistently in the 150k-200k range first week with all his number ones, and ross had comp from other genres and still came out number 1

that just 5 names off top compared to the big names in hiphop he not outselling them period.

ludacris, ti, outkast, jcole, kendrick lamar.. all sell more than him.

so again i ask what comp you talking about?

Add Cudi to that list even tho his last pushed 90k but that's 10k less than Ross and Cudi dropped an album outta the sky on an indie label

Or Wiz who did 197k First week Rolling Papers

And 132k First Week ONIFC

btw, those sales on hitsdailydouble are only 56% in, not sayin its gon happen but if the final count end up over 150K what yall gon say then, cuz according to the ic ross been done since 2008 at least, and not only do the sales remain intact, but most importantly the music is on point every time

http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgi

well ill be dammed, 184k mmm hmm, guess all hip hop need some new and credible journalists on the front page, cuz the one reporting half of hits daily double's shit dont know what they doing. now what was that about ross being done, again?

The hate in these niggas hearts is so comical

 

[a_list]

Yo, I aint a fan of sun, but y'all cant possibly want someone to fail so badly....damn!!!

=UUOsmw-DSNXt9Sl_v-MbcCtA

pretty much sums it up. he makes the same shit over and over like an assembly like per motivational speaker/preacher. but it works he sells the shit. nothing out of control sales wise but it sells it gets him relevenace and keeps him touring. but despite his lack to really have 1 classic album he also has not got so high than its easy for him to flop or fall or even be blackballed.

 

[illedout]

no because, it's not about Music and sales. The Music is nothing but a commercial to peddle products.

Slept on post..

 

[usmarin3]

Niggas criticize Ross for the same shit they praise other rappers for. It can't be because of the fantasy raps because we all know these rappers don't bust they guns (Mobb Deep,etc) and we know they ain't freedom fighting on the front lines with that righteousness shit.

Ross has a gimmick just like how every other rapper does, whether it be about drugs, violence, consciousness, or political raps.

Ross gimmick is no different than Mos Def gimmick with his black consciousness shit even though he out here marrying hoes and doing Hollywood shit. Not meaning to single out Mos, just showing contrast and similarities.

 

[GetoBoy]

185k??? Y'all still think ross run is over???

 

[GetoBoy]

BREAKING NEWS: Rick Ross didn't only sell 100k.....no in fact he sold 185k...so to all you ppl waiting on ross run to end looks like your gonna have to wait a lil longer

I'm far from a Rick Ross fan but did you guys miss the part where he sold over 100,000 records and will be the number 1 selling record in the country? I just can't see how that's a loss.

The real pain is here...

Last week’s #1 album, Schoolboy Q’s Oxymoron is expected to fall completely out of the Top 10 in its second week, so far with sales of 17,207 copies.

That means almost 100k people bought that shit, determined it was trash and then warned all their friends not to get it. If only IC overhype translated to album sales.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Lmaooo y'all swear I was hatin y'all must have missed the post where I said I didnt care what he sold.

the whole article was false, whoever wrote it jumped the gun and reported some sales that werent even finished being counted, sbq really sold nearly twice that, whether thats considered a second week flop or not, idk

 

[DNB1]

Lol...Ross is not done, and this album will still go gold.

This album tough.

 

[Like Water]

Don't care how much he's sold. He put out a quality product when a lot of naysayers, myself included, believed he couldn't.

Trying to discredit quality because of sales is so far removed from what hip-hop is supposed to be about.

 

[nujerz84]

he sold his usuall numbers he comsistent in that.
