The OFFICIAL Self Made Vol. 1 Discussion Thread

[hnic1978]

So the fraud-rap supporters are in here claiming the CO purposely released a "mixtape" that would flop.

no not really we sayin is that the way of the release i don't think they thought it was gonna be the best album of 2011

 

[PLASTIC RULES]

Ain't niggas the ones who were running their yaps about Ross knowing how to promote artist and all this shit. Like i said, the days of getting a gold record off being associated with a well known rapper is over. Ross needs to build Meek and Pill from the ground up, people just aren't gonna go buy their shit because of Ross, Wale's album will do better than Self Made watch.

Wale should've just stayed in his lane, dunno why he would join with a "label" that has only cornered the fraud-rap market.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Welp, at least Wale got some more attention. Wale > MMG

So Ross is purposely putting out trash?

i agree....................

As long as he continue to do what he has been doing on More about Nothing he will be fine, just don't get caught up in that drug kingpin rap shit.

 

[Meet The Sniper]

only strong afrikan brothers purchased this project and since crackers and rednecks attempt to subjugate our musical tastes 50k is now the new platinum

Now theres someone who get's it.

 

[thesynthesis]

i dont even consider this as an album more of a mixtape if anything....for someone like meek this is really good,

before this i aint even heard most of these rapper minus Wale,

Ross is buildin a brand, i can wait for the follow up, the music coming outta these niggas is classical materi and shits on anything the likes of jayz have made since the black album,

Now if this was J Cole album it'd be a flop because of how long niggas have waited and who is backing him

 

[Like Water]

I don't know who expected this shit to do ridiculously high numbers. I'm diggin the hell out the jawn, but to think it's finna do sumin' more than like a couple hundred thou is buggin. And that's bein' generous.

It doesn't follow the formula for it to garner a wide mainstream audience.

It serves its purpose. If you rock wit it, that's all that matters. Fuck the numbers.

^^This

I seen a couple post in the who was running shit thread say MMG was running shit now sooooo.....

 

[Turfaholic]

But I thought black people supported Ross?

Mixtapes do not get dropped on majors like Warner Bros. Ricc False stans clutchin for straws now.

ps. Def Jam REFUSED to work with Ross again after Triple C's album FLOPPED.

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

how is that a flop? who said it was gonna do big numbers?

So we gonna act like rick ross's name shouldnt do respectable number??

 

[riddlerap]

thats almost as much as Eminem Presents: The Re-Up sold! oh. wait.

they are running shit at the mo, ofcourse not on the white mainstream audience, but don't act like every black rap fan aint bumpin theyre shit,

50k wud be a good look, these days selling a 100k first week means u have a portion of the white mainstream audience behind u

what numbers did triple c's album do?

ross got something right this time seeing as he is shifting nearly over 3 times the amount of the triple c's album

he went from 12 k first week with triple c's and a possible 55k first week with mmg.

also i must add triple c's album was wack, that got no play from me, this however is classical

 

[CollegeBoi12]
