This week, Rick Ross and Pharrell hit the top of the Billboard Top 200 albums chart with Mastermind and G I R L, respectively. The two albums, which have been anticipated by many of the artists’ fans, make their first week impressions with the #1 and #2 slots. Meanwhile, ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron takes a drop in sales in its second week, with the Top Dawg Ent. rapper’s sales figures decreasing by 78 percent.
Rick Ross’s Mastermind Strikes At #1
Rick Ross’s Mastermind appears as the #1 album on this week’s chart. The project sold 179,215 copies its first week of availability. Recently, the album earned a 3 out of 5 in its HipHopDX review. “There isn’t anything really compelling about Rick Ross’s fictional tale anymore,” HipHopDX said of the album. “It has become stale. There is no real wiggle room for his kingpin fallacy. There’s only one angle of interest left to explore: the truth. ‘The truth will set you free, son. The truth will set you free,’ executive producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs shouts smugly on ‘Nothing,’ assumedly at opposing rappers pretending to be something they’re not. How ironic. Ross could’ve used that kind of advice himself years ago. Perhaps he’ll take heed before the next mastering.”
Pharrell’s G I R L Enters Charts At #2
Pharrell’s G I R L enters the chart this week at #2. The project sold 112,534 units in its first week of availability. The disc, which features the hit single “Happy,” earned a 3.5 out of 5 in its HipHopDX review. “While G I R L is too surface-level at times, it hits the target it’s aimed for,” HipHopDX said of this release. “Pharrell wants summertime airplay, and any of these songs could survive on the radio. It’s also a nice tribute to feminine vigor, adding another notch to Pharrell’s ever-growing list of achievements. He has plenty to be happy about these days.”
ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron Drops To #8
ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron appears as the #8 album on this week’s chart. In its second week, the album sold 30,168 copies, a 78 percent decrease from last week’s 138,630 units sold. Overall, Oxymoron has sold 169,118 copies. Yesterday (March 11), ScHoolboy Q spoke about his current deal with Aftermath Entertainment/Top Dawg Ent. “I already did wrong by signing a rap contract,” ScHoolboy Q said. “I’m not talking about TDE, but how we ventured off with the majors. I wish we would have still stayed indie. I don’t care about being on like 100 radios or shit like that. I love Interscope, but I wish I could have just stayed with TDE.”

Which of These Albums is the Most Compelling?
RELATED: Last Week’s Album Sales
Went from doing shows in 30+ cities to doing less then a 10. Album sales for opening week and entirely keep getting lower and lower.
The biggest boss made as much money as Mac Miller last year and half as much as Wiz Khalifa. LMAO. Think about that for a min,.
^^^^^^ I see what you did there! lol
I dont care what no one says. The fact that a fake ass nigga from the burbs who used to locks drug dealers up and search their butt cracks for the drugs he raps about selling sold 179k first week is simply amazing. Props.
He grew up in the streets of caroline.
No, Ross is from the suburbs.
That new Young Money album about to sell 30-40k first week. That Drake song gave them a lil boost from the catastrophic flop that was ‘Rich Gang’.
THE RICH GANG ALBUM WAS SHIT, YET STILL BETTER THAN RISE OF THE EMPIRE
That gump ass hiphopdx reviewer momma is a whore
Album is a 4/5 at the least bitch ass.
Anyways I’m done finishing Mastermind for a lil while
FREDDIE GIBBS ALBUM COCAINE PIATA JUST LEAKED LEAKED NIGGA
BOUT TO EAT
SHIT BETTER GET A FUCKING 5/5 FROM DX
FUCK SHELLEY PEARCE
Shelley Pearce you bitch, you.
mah names forrest, forrest gump
Its obvious Ross has the machine backing him….he drops on days where theres literally zero competition….forget what you THINK about sales, there was at least 10 people that have went platinum since 2006 on numerous occassions and hes not one of them, if the numbers dont lie then stop cheating, play like a champ
Pharrell s big competition yet he lost.
he had 1 single and over a million people already bought it though. the album was announced only 3 weeks ago so most people didn’t know or already had the single.
Thats the h iliarious thing. Ross had no singles released yet still sold more than pharrell.
^^^^^^^^ Are you serious?! No singles?!
No official singles though he release promo singles not the same thing.
just cause all his singles flopped doesn’t mean he didnt have singles.
His album release date was announced over 3 months ago, so anybody could have dropped on the same day as him, but they didn’t. Eminem, School Boy Q, Kendrick Lamar and Drake have the same machine behind them as Ross, which is Universal Music.
To those who bought Rick Ross CD: Why?
they don’t have fathers
You know what I’ve noticed. People who see right through this kind of music are usually self-aware, have some common sense and get tired of the same formula. The people that eat this stuff up usually say one of two things “This bangs” “This goes hard” If that’s all it takes, for a song to sound “tough” to impress you, or move you, then I feel sorry for you. I can’t judge you or people like you since I don’t know you, but I can make a reasonable assumption that authenticity and lyricsm doesn’t mean shit to the average, so called “hip-hop” fan out there today that seems to worship money, lies and the sound of the beat over everything else.
Better than buying Pharell or Kendribble.
Kendribble put out the first classic hiphop album in years and he’s humble about it. I gladly bought that record.
Anonther 10k and MMLP2 is 2x plat in less than a year.
I would have no problem with Ross’ success even though he is a CO turned studio gangster. The fact that he has shown 0 love to the man whose image he stole and profited greatly off of is what pisses me off. Fat Ricky deserves whatever repercussions he gets for fucking with a true gangster like the real Rick Ross. He knowingly entered a world of real gangsters and now he’s got to pay some kind of price. Apparently he’s to cheap to give out a little cash so he’ll probably be paying with his head instead.
Judges say he didn’t steal though. Rick ross came from him being referred to as rick james and ross was a misprouncation of boss. He didn’t use freeway ricky ross, just rick ross.
To be honest 90% of Ricky Rozay’s fan base never even heard of Freeway Rick Ross. Rozay never said he was Freeway Ricky Ross from California. He made a name for himself as a hustler from who was owed numerous favors from Noriega. So, stop trying to hate on this millionaire.
Is it really that serious? Being a CO for a year makes you a CO forever? A rapper using a scummy drug dealers name as a stage name bothers you that much? Why does this situation bother you square ass civilians more than it does the niggas that actually in the struggle and been around the life? Calling Freeway a “gangster” is an error square he was a pusher, and calling Rozay a studio gangster is an error square he was a hustler. You speak long then you going to speak wrong because you just another square thats out the loop. Square.
“He made a name for himself ”
The irony of making a name for himself using another man’s name who was all ready famous in the streets.
” A rapper using a scummy drug dealers name as a stage name bothers you that much? ”
You gotta pay homage and show him respect, not deny that you took his name and beard.
Quit jive talking like you from the 70s. You prolly didn’t even graduate high school wit ya broke ass!
You think Ross will still be on the charts after a year and half? LOL nah he will completely gone in 4-6 weeks.
It will still go gold.
You think Kendrick will be around 5 albums from now?
Why wouldn’t he be? If a studio gangster like Ross can make it to 6 albums I don’t see why he shouldn’t have a long illustrious career ahead of him.
been hearing that every years n im still here gettin money no platinum album, and im livin good like yhur fav rapper yhu heard lollll… #haters #can #hate #rossisgettingmoney
#RossgettingasmuchmoneyasMacMiller
lol I knew niggas wouldn’t keep buyin Schoolboy Q’s album
179k is good if you just dropped without little to no promo. This is not the case, the results do not match the effort and you know that this is not what he expected for 1st week sales. 50 won’t do any better because he’s no longer an underdog, GRODT was successful because during the Murder inc. rule (npi) he came off as an underdog and the world likes an underdog. Rick Ross never allowed himself to viewed as an underdog in any situation which is not bad but it doesn’t win the crowd. You can’t tell the world how rich you are, what you got and they don’t and still expect them to give you more money by buying your music. It shows that maybe he doesn’t need our money so we’ll spend these $10 on a 6 pack or a blunt of something dro and up, cuz you made a whole album telling us you’re straight on cash.
Schoolboy had more promo yet he bombed.
Q did not have anywhere near as much promo but it was also his major label debut.
Ross announced Mastermind in Jan 2013.
Schoolboy had more promo yet he bombed.
Schoolboy ain’t a vet either. Rick Ross is a career flopper.
140k for a first major label album in 2014 is hardly a flop,
French Montana sold 50k first week, THAT IS A FLOP
ross flopped hard. i guess his wannabe pablo escobar/el chapho/nino/every other drug lord he ever fantasized about is over. id really love to see the demographics of whos buying rick ross albums cuz in the streets niggas aint fukn with him no more. his shit is played out idgaf how much money this lame got his formula is WACK now.
i dont care what anyone says, 179k is pretty amazing for a nigga who everyone knows is a fraud and lies in all of his raps.
Despite months of hate, and shit talk about how all his singles flopped, Ross drops another #1 album, and does 180k, yet you still bash the guy. Watch 50 do 75k. Then you cowards will feel like killing yourselves.
50 already did numbers, no one stays on top forever.
Ross entire catalog including everyone on MMG still hasn’t sold more than the Massacre.
How is debuting at #1 flopping? A flop will be when Animal Attraction does 75k and Curtis commits suicide on PPV.
id buy that for a dollar
In the street niggaz don’t buy album and they don’t support real hip hop so they better stay quiet and keep downloading wack mixtapes.
Nah son streets is repping Mastermind hardbody
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLn1r1Ig0TI
The streets aren’t repping that weedplate Mastermind. BTW, Animal Ambition will sell more than Ross’ album.
FLOPPPPPPP
Mr. Officer rickrozzay.
Em about to achieve 2 mill in the next week.
What you finna achieve tho dickrider ?
rosay doing schoolboy numbers?
YMCMB is on track for another epic flop with 30-40k first week for the new Young Money album.
180,000 Americans went out an bought a record about a cop moving imaginary coke.
“The biggest boss made as much money as Mac Miller last year and half as much as Wiz Khalifa. LMAO. Think about that for a min,”
Instead, why don’t you think for a minute if Wiz has ever sold 2 million albums and launched his fellow artists to the level where they can release their own projects to various degrees of success.
he never sold 2 million albums yet he makes twice as much as rick ross though, how sad.
Neither Wiz or Ross did that shit.
why buy these albums just burn them..none of them are classics
and all this nigga raps about is his money, he cant get a dollar outta me
Agreed!!! We are tired of hearing about money, hoes and weed! Dayum man, get some originality!
Ross and originallity are 2 words you will never hear together.
The guy had to remake Biggie and ODB songs for his retail album instead of coming up with his own timeless classic ideas.
Ross been in the game for years still cant sell over 200k so sad. I kno they Cool but jeezy numbers are always good ross not so much
The only people who obsess over “Platinum” are hateful little people who have been brainwashed to think that sales ate special because their hero Vanilla Ice sold 9x Platinum with a debut album.
the guy above has been smoking crack and said people look at Vanilla Ice as their Hero in 2014,
He must have meant that other white rapper dude that wears the lipstick and lace in his videos, they all like the same but they both have 10X platinum albums.
There’s no white rapper that wears lipstick and lace that sold diamond albums.
Eminem is the queer who bought Elton John a sex toy. He is the gay white rapper who went diamond.
#1 album for a week is great and all but he still has no classic’s and still has no platinum albums despite 10+ artists all going plat since he’s been out.
Platinum sales don’t equate to quality music. Example, Big KRIT is a dope artist & producer for himself, but he didn’t come out the gate well. No diss to Nicki Minaj, but she has major sale success. Ross Gold success is pretty damn good. Ross puts effort and creativity in his music.
Yeezus sent Gold and I am sure it will go platinum if it hasn’t, but we all know that is not Kanye West that we know. Ross gets better with time. He doesn’t regress. The only reason why people don’t like Ross is because he was a CO at the age of 19. Pretty petty sht.
“Ross puts effort and creativity in his music. ”
Rehashing 17 year old Biggie songs and ODB songs is not creative.
How is he remaking biggie songs? He’s sampling them. Big difference. Remaking songs are more like run dmc does for walk this way, a wack cover of a wack song.
you dont know what a sample is. LOL
he used the same title, the same hook, even had diddy talking bs just like the original
if you wanna know what a sample is go listen to some DJ Premier songs
“Platinum sales don’t equate to quality music. Example, Big KRIT is a dope artist & producer for himself, but he didn’t come out the gate well. No diss to Nicki Minaj, but she has major sale success. Ross Gold success is pretty damn good. Ross puts effort and creativity in his music.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Effort and creativity? Gets better with time and doesn’t regress? Ross been making the same type of songs with the same flow, same beats, same subject matter, and same type of features since he first came into the scene and he doesn’t even put any effort or creativity into his shit. Dude refuses to grow as an artist. He’s getting worse, not better, and he is regressing by making the same music over and over again.
Remaking songs are more like run dmc does for walk this way, a wack cover of a wack song.
You’re talking about a 28 year old song to justify what the fat fuck does. WTW was wack but it was a gutsy move that worked financially and helped get the first no1 rap single in the pop charts and the first rap platinum plaque. How’s that working for your boy? 6 albums later LMAO
“Ross puts effort and creativity in his music.”
I find it to be the opposite. Ross is not creative at all. He’s talking the same junk subject matter on every single album. Every song mentions what car he’s driving, bitch he’s f#%king and how many kilos he’s pushing. Then there’s the lack of effort. He rarely ever does his own hooks…see Mastermind. Plus every album he is is carried by at least a dozen big features. That’s lazy to me.
SCHOOLBOY Q FLOPPED !!! 30K SALES SECOND WEEK !!! WACK WACK WACK
DUDE GON B SITTIN IN A TRAILER PARK EATIN KFC STRAIGHT OUT THE BUCKET BY THE END OF THE YEAR
DUDE NEED TO B STASHING SOME OF THEM BUCKET HATS CAUSE HE WONT BE ABLE TO AFFORD A WHITE TEE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS
he such a bum they wouldn’t even let him into the 50 cent show yesterday so he tweeted about it
They wouldn’t let Schoolboy Q into the 50 cent concert yesterday at SXSW LMAO.
niggas keep on hatin. Ross winning. another number one album from the boss. Not only was it top of billboard but that shit was classic. Only niggas who won’t agree are the same niggas who use the old lame ass cop jokes and try and deny that Ross don’t make good music. Facts are facts niggas Ross last 3 albums have gone number 1. Keep hatin niggas Ross gon keep collectin.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i found a video of the Rick Ross troll groupie!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLn1r1Ig0TI
@anonymous
Not funny my nigga try to come up with something original. Unlike a lot of you faggots on this site i don’t give a fuck what Ross did in the past. I’m bout the music not what prior employment niggas had.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you should take it easy behind the wheel Ricky Rozay, before you kill somebody or run over some children,
Regardless of Ross’s wack sales, he made a nice album for the masses. i’m not a hugh Ross fan but I can bet his sells r low due to illegal downloads. its funny how his sales r low but everybody from the burbs to the streets playing the album on their ipods, iphones, ipads, computers, smart phones & tablets.
hell yeah broski, i’m one of Rozay’s biggest fans
check out this video i made of me rapping along and almost killing a bunch of people in the process
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLn1r1Ig0TI
only good thing i heard about Mastermind is his choice of beats and features. he gets outshined on all his songs.
I was thinking the other day he should just fall back and put out compilation albums of dope rappers over the beats he picks like DJ Khaled.
Yup. Ross been making the same album for the last 8 years. The biggest topic of all his albums is always his beat selection and big features. Nothing he says on the mic is worth discussing.
Here’s the hypocrisy:
Before Mastermind:
Me: It will hit no. 1
Other: Pharrell will destroy his ass dickrider.
After MastermindL
Me: It’s no. 1 like I said
Other: Sales don’t mean shit
Why the 180? Just show your disappointment here, its more honest than just acting like you never said those words.
you seem to care too much, just be happy for your boy officer ricky before he falls off the charts in 4 weeks and stops selling altogether.
You left out the gay slanguage, homo-talk and 50Cent euphemisms.
Even when he falls off, he will be gold like usual.
cop lover
Surprisngly, dentalbitch has not shown up to promote young money, rise of an empire. Anyway, here are next week’s predictions to bring dentalbitch out, courtesy of hits daily double.
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 65-70k
Aloe Blacc (XIX/Interscope) 40-45k
311 (311) 35-40k
Young Money: Rise of an Empire (YM/CM/Republic) 30-35k
Sara Evans (RCA Nashville) 25-30k
Ledisi (Verve) 14-17k
he will say they sold 450k unaccounted for albums
There wasn’t that much promo for young money though. Reviews are terrifc and outsold rich gang. The empire is rising.
Wrong. YM had a lot of promo, most of the reviews are terrible, and the “empire” is falling.
Outsold rich gang by 10k thanks to that Drake song
Compiliation albums don’t to sell a lot and it still outsold rich gang. One song isn’t the reason why it sold more, its fanbase is the reason why.
Still not an excuse for a flop.
179 thousand of you paid for a album made by a nigga who was paid by the state to snitch n look at niggas assholes
man cudi went from 87,000 to 8,300 fuck that’s a drop off!
That’s what happens when your promotion is shit.
I’m surprised Rick Ross beat Pharrell, even though dude has the biggest hit in the world while Ross put out another mediocre ass album, but I guess that’s what it is.
The thing is that “biggest hit in the world” already sold over a million copies so why would they buy the album if they only know the 1 song so far?
Most people didn’t know he had an album coming out because it was only announced 3 weeks before it came out.
I think Pharrell outsold Rozay in every country outside of the US.
Pharrel dropped his album quickly to capitalize off the buzz of a Top 20 smash single, Future rushed his debut too so he could ride a buzz, fags always say you should have dropped when you were hot and then when you do drop they say you only gave them 3 weeks. Fags.
Again, that’s the hiliarious thing. Ross had no single as big as happy yet outsold the black neptune.
what does sexual orientation have to do with anything?
Pharrell’s single was purchased by over 2 million people, they didn’t care about the album or even know about it, they bought the song they heard on the radio.
Sexual orientation? Do you think Alpha males were in a rush to cop a Pharrel album? As a Hiphop fan I can say without doubt I have never paid for an album that had Justin Timberlake on it and I never will.
Just come out the closet already. Dudes purchased the Pharrell to pick up women.
As a male I have never purchased an album by a former C.O. with bigger titties than my girlfriend.
See what Im saying, the fag refered to another mans breasts as “titties”, you have to guard your fanbase from those types of people or they will damage your brand and kill your movement,
you go around searching for anything to call gay.. kind of suspect.
All the promotion Rozay got for masterflop and it does 179k LOOOOOOOOL
Looks like Schoolboy Q is gonna struggle to sell gold with this second-week drop.
next week mmlp2 should be 2x platinum, in less than 5 months
That extra day of sales really helped Ross and I’m sure Khaled and his people all bought out their local shops. It would have been pathetic to see him sell less than Meek Mill or Wale did first week.
RoSs just said in the Breakfast Club interview that Wale and Meek will outsell him this year and he will do everything in his power ro make sure his artists reach the maximum of their potential.
That won’t be happening.
“RoSs just said in the Breakfast Club interview that Wale and Meek will outsell him this year ”
LOL naw he said HE WANTS THEM TO but that aint happeneing. No one is checking for Meek Mill.
You went into the future bitch?
But the fact is he didn’t, so why fantasize about it?

Animal ambition June 3.cant wait the album of the year
Officer Ricky released his weed plate 24 hours before the scheduled release and this added the 66k he needed to beat Pharrel! He had Diddy and Birdman go to Best Buys and buy 100K albums to save him
GIRL also came out on monday so it was a fair victory. He didn’t have friends purchase more than 3 or 4 copies.
No, it didn’t.
Animal Instinct will do 50k first week.
More like 250K.
I dont understand this sales stuff, can somebody explain why MMLP sold 10 million but MMLP2 only sold
2 million?
Rise of illegal downloads and just the constant change in technology, etc.
MMLP2 came out this winter, MMLP came out over 10 years ago you don’t think maybe people have been buying MMLP still to this day? Let’s see what happens with MMLP2 when it gets as old as MMLP.
Animal Ambition june 3 go get it
pre-order it on march 18
Impressive numbers from Rozay he moved nearly the same amount first-week when he dropped
Port of Miami about 10 years ago. Loyal fan base and another #1 album to bring the total to 5 which is the most of any rapper from 2006-2014….not bad my friend the hustle continues.
BTW, Ross is my hero.
@Anon2 Bruh if you gonna pick a Black man to be your hero then you need to research
Elijah Muhhamad not some music performer.
LOL, yeah. If a man who stole another man’s identity while he was locked up is your hero then you have some problems. William Roberts is no hero.
neither Freway Rick or Ricky Rozay should be your hero, you should pick someone like Malcolm X even though he never liked your kind he was a brilliant man.
What kind is that, the bum niggas who listen to trash like Ross?
i love the way ross dick taste in my mouth
DX numbers are always off.Rozay actual numbers is around 184K-185K and Skateboard-P is around 110k. Drake,Eminem and K.dot numbers are off also.
DX just pulls numbers outta their asses.They need to subscribe directly with Nielsen to get the actual numbers instead of copying other hiphop sites.
5k difference who fucking cares. HitsDailyDouble, Billboard and Soundscan numbers usually vary.
ROZAY was on Arsenio with Kanye and Big Sean. Ross was on another show too with his remake of that Biggie song. There was a lot of PROMO behind this album. At $1.00 per sale, Ross made $179,000 last week.
A lot of people dont buy the entire album they go to ITunes and buy the songs off the album that they like so that money adds up too.
All that promo adds up too.
Shout outs to Diddy for buying most of Rozay’s albums.
Ross and Pharrell cheated and had to have 8 full days to get these numbers.
shout out to u for being dumb
not bad for his last album
jay and em move units because they don’t whore themselves out all year when they drop a album its a big deal.
Wayne moves units because he whores himself out all year
“Instead, why don’t you think for a minute if Wiz has ever sold 2 million albums and launched his fellow artists to the level where they can release their own projects to various degrees of success”
Is that you Bruthadee?
You can cheer about Wiz “not going platinum” or only making as much as the whites but we give less than a fuck about that fuck shit as long as Wiz put himself in position to put his dogs on and thats what my guy did. Taylor Gang just signed Ty Dolla so salute the little homie on them BOSS moves.
Another tax write-off for Wiz.
He should think for a minute how Wiz never sold 2 million albums or launched his fellow artists yet still made twice as much as Rick Ross.
Wiz brought Juicy J back from the dead.
Wiz is a dope rapper too and revived j’s career. He had his first no.1 hit with dark horse.
Wiz is wack, always talking about weed. Dark Horse isn’t even Juicy J’s song.
So does dr dre, 50’s former boss. J lifted Perry after her previous single bombed.
Dre doesn’t always talk about weed. J didn’t lift Perry, she lifted him and her last single didn’t bomb at all.
Neither does Wiz. J lifted Perry after her last single only made it to no.14 instead of no.1.
No. Juicy J didn’t lift Perry at all, Perry lifted him. Her last single did better than Juicy’s last single. Juicy J had to hop on a pop star’s song to get a #1.
Masterflop lol
This nigga Ross been had the same first week sales the last ten years, he got another album in the bag after this one because Def Jam love the consistency.
NOT!!
consistently mediocre. I look forward to hearing more fairytale coke raps about how rich he is. I hope to hear more grilled cheese references on the next disc.
u mean consistently flopping?
LOL at the irony. When their hated rappers suceed,they blame their bosses for buying copies but when their favorite rappers suceed, its the fanbase, not the bosses.
The hypocrisy of this comment.
I don’t even like ross. This is a statement in general.
Hatred is just a weak emotion exhibited by fragile people who see your success as a reminder of their own failures.
Same can be said about the dickriders.
Def jams bought about 100k of masterflop
im sure they did your brain cells are dead
most definately
Good to see rick ross get the number 1 album in the country mastermind is a classic to me and Teflon don was also IMO just goes to show if you put out a good album it will sell no matter how many haters you have ross has the best label in the game also if you ask me with mmg wale and meek are dope artist and having 6 number 1 albums and prob more to come is already a great career in hiphop ross is prob the most consestent rapper there is sales wise every album is gold and I could see this one goin platinum if a couple singles takes off big ups to ross keep doin your thang homie!
How does Ross’ dick taste, stanley? (waits for Ross fanboy to talk about dicks)
Cosign about TD, I thought it was a classic, haters actually help Ross because the hatred is so intense online that people want to know what the hate-hype is and then they fall in love with the music.
5 number 1 albums not 6 because the Eminem guy beat him, this album does not have a chance in hell of going Platinum, Ross isnt a crossover artist that can do POP numbers like YMCMB or Emonem but he will do solid Gold and be platinum in the Hood.
This is all a delusional lie.
“ross has the best label in the game”
I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING.
this nigga said mastermind is a classic. ur fkn stupid the fact that u just said that makes everything u say from now on irrelevant. now go play with ur pokemon cards or ur nintentdo ds and leave hiphop alone man
Lmfao Masterflop
170k flop
MASTERFLOP !!!!
J cole:240k. Kdot:230k gusto:170k lol flop
Ross is a hiphop artist though while both are bitchmade rappers, who sell more than hiphop.
All three of them are hip-hop artists, dumbass.
Actually J Cole sold 297k and he didn’t even have a feature from Jay-Z despite being signed to him!
K Dot was 242k first week.
I consider Kendrick, JCole and Ross as rappers but Kendrick and Cole are more mainstream and appeal to a broader audience.
GKMC had Anna Wise and JMSN on it
Born Sinner had Amber Coffman and Cults on it
Mastermind had Keith Sweat and Sizzla on it
If you throw pop features on your album then you have a better chance of doing pop numbers but you dilute your music and lose your core fans and end up like these rappers that cant drop an album.
NIGGA GIVE IT UP WITH THAT BS. THEY PUT OUT BETTER RAP ALBUMS WITH OUT WITHOUT SOME UNKNOWN WHITE GIRLS SINGING BACK UP THAT NO ONE EVER HEARD OF.
YOU BEEN BRINGING THAT SHIT UP FOR MONTHS.
he caled Amber Coffman, Anna Wise (who doesn’t have a wiki page) and Cult’s pop features!!!
Meanwhile Ross had LIL WAYNE, KANYE WEST, BIG SEAN, MEEK MILL, JAY FUCKING Z, who are all a thousand times MORE POPULAR!!
No one went out and bought Kendrick’s album because “Anna Wise” sang some back up vocals and most J Cole fans don’t know who Cults is.
No one even knows who Anna Wise, JSMN, Amber Coffman, and Cults are.
GKMC had Jay Rock, Pharrell, MC Eiht, Dr Dre, and Mary J Blige on it.
Born Sinner has Miguel, TLC, Kendrick Lamar, James Fauntleroy, 50 Cent, and Bas on it.
Mastermind had Jay-Z, Jeezy, The Weeknd, Kanye West, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Lil Wayne, French Montana, Diddy, Sizzla, Mavado on it.
Neither GKMC or Born Sinner had pop features. Also, they’re more introspective and talk about life unlike Mastermind which is just over-exaggerated drug-lord fantasies.
Keith Sweat isn’t even featured on Mastermind.
he thinks being a white indie musician makes you a pop feature when none of those artists even have 1 gold album… meanwhile Lil Wayne and Kanye are not pop features? CMON SON
I’ve honestly never heard Anna Wise, Cults or Amber Coffman on the radio unless I tune into a college rock station but I hear Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Big Sean, Kanye West, French Montana almost every single day.
ROSS GROUPIE GRASPIN AT STRAWS TRYING TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR HIS BOY AND THE BEST HE CAN COME UP WITH IS SOME WHITE GIRLS NO ONE KNOWS DOING SOME VOCALS
I give Anna Wise a major salute she not only got a feature credit on GKMC but she did background on 5 of the songs adding that special ingredient of sound that they wanted consumers to “feel”.
Shit, I would put a white bitch on my album quick fast and in a hurry especially if they were those indie/hippy white bitches that the Hipsters love so much, white people want to feel like they are a
part of the music and can “relate” so I would manipulate their asses with plenty of white faces and plenty of white samples on my shit…..laugh all the way to the bank after they buy your shit.
Do you.
Drop the music you want for the people that you want. Im glad all three of those Black men are getting money and I hope Kendrick and Cole can get in position to build their empires so they can give employment opportunities to our producers, DJs, videographers, hypemen, eingenieers, rappers, singers and other aspiring music industry professionals.
BruthaDee, everyone.
for sure, you can always tell, notice how he low key duckriding ross for putting on some “djs,videoographers, etc.. LOL ”
he the only nigga always bringing that shit up.
“Shit, I would put a white bitch on my album quick fast and in a hurry especially if they were those indie/hippy white bitches that the Hipsters love so much, white people want to feel like they are a
part of the music and can “relate” so I would manipulate their asses with plenty of white faces and plenty of white samples on my shit…..laugh all the way to the bank after they buy your shit. ”
The point is them white bitches ain’t very well known at all and contributed nothing or very little to the success of those albums. So stop trying to download play Kendrick and Cole’s success you sound like a fucking racist crab which we all know you are!
The object of every rapper is too get fucking rich and in position to provide opportunities to your people so handle your business young brothers, I got white bitches signaturing my words with “BruthaDee” and I’m not even related to them and that ain’t my name but that’s the effect the words convey.
If you sell 600K with a white bitch on your album like JCole then we Won my Nigga and if Kendrick sell a million with a white bitch on his album then we won my nigga and of Ross sell 500K without a white bitch on his album then we won my nigga because no matter what we gettin to this money Nd these peons are paying for these beats and rhymes.
Open up these revenue streams and make the Peckawoods mad at the move, one Peckawoods got heated when I talked about DJs and Videographers because now we got minority owned businesses like Maybach Films with them Latino boys cranking out them visuals and getting that bread without our vision being compromised by them outsiders. Let’s get it.
When the Peckawood says “Oh my god dude why would they put an unknown indie white gal on a HipHop album instead of a well known negro gal”, just laugh and say it’s because us Black rap fans buy the majority of albums and when we see Indie white chicks featured on a HipHop album we feel compelled to purchase it because we can relate to that demographic.
Let’s get this money they still sleep on the game, break they ass like glass every single one of these guppies and then let’s pop some bottles.
BruthaDee going hard as a troll making up bullshit conspiracy theories and lies.
@Bruthadee how an you support Cop music when he searched bungholes he used the name of a dope peddler to sell his rap songs, Aesop Rock shits on your policeman you racist shitbag I hope your mom catches the clap from acrackhead you dung heap.
YallerWolves = BruthaDee or one of his racist cop loving friends (if he even has any), you can tell. he makes it so obvious when he pretends to be a white person. NIGGAR SAID “dung heap”
Knew Q was going to take a dive second week. His sales will dry up around 270k, which I’d say is solid.
Solid shit lol Kendrick went platinum while his boy is about to go wood. That throws a monkey wrench in TDE’s plans and puts that much more pressure on Kenbore’s next album which ironically might be 100% instrumental.
You are an idiot, are you? It’s only been two weeks and no one expects Q to do Kendrick’s numbers and TDE’s plan won’t be messed up. Your hate is causing you to spew lies.
Young money flop lol
“Taylor Gang just signed Ty Dolla”
Wow!!!!
Im shocked Rozay did his usual numbers because he didnt have a single in the Top 200 and only 15 other wrists in history have had a album go #1 without having a single hit the Top 200….amazing fans.
I love Rozay dick.
“No one is checking for Meek Mill”
Then why does he have a second album coming out? Success breeds haters and you sir, or maam, are a bonafide hater.
That second album will flop harder than the first. Success also breeds dickriders and you, sir or ma’am, are a bonafide dickrider.
Did you go into the future lloyd banks groupie?
I don’t need to go into the future and I’m not even a fan of Lloyd Banks or anyone from G-Unit.
“LOL at the irony. When their hated rappers suceed,they blame their bosses for buying copies but when their favorite rappers suceed, its the fanbase, not the bosses”
That hate-troll guy has brain damage just ignore him, he thinks Khaled hacked into ITunes and downloaded 100k copies of Mastermind and then Def Jam sent ninjas to various Walmarts to buy the rest.
you know damn well Ross, Khaled, Diddy and their whole teams went around buying up dozens of copies
Did the conspirators go around buying all the CDs in one state or did they catch planes to different states and commit this act of conspiracy…and what evil organization is behind this.?
the police union! Freeway already broke it down for us
sad that def jam and diddy had to buy 100k of ross albums just to break under 200k. i guess ross aint as popular as people think
hi

How you name Hustle Gang and leave out Young Dro?? BOB is trash Bruh.
Some of these niggas may never release an album but they are at the table eating while they drop Mixtapes and get show money and do other shit for the team.
they eating crumbs
I have no idea who half those people you named are, and LOL really Hustle Gang? TDE/Shady/Aftermath got the best roster right now.

“I consider Kendrick, JCole and Ross as rappers but Kendrick and Cole are more mainstream and appeal to a broader audience.
GKMC had Anna Wise and JMSN on it

Mastermind had Keith Sweat and Sizzla on it
If you throw pop features on your album then you have a better chance of doing pop numbers but you dilute your music and lose your core fans and end up like these rappers that cant drop an album.”
HAD TO BRING THIS TO THE TOP TO SHOW HOW MUCH OF A BITCH THIS NIGGAS IS!
None of those artists make pop music first of all, none have had any real commercial success.
Jay-Z is a pop feature, Lil Wayne is a pop feature, Big Sean is a pop feature. French Montana is a pop feature. Kanye West is a pop feature. Those are the artists you will hear if you turn on your radio, not Annie Wise, Dirty Projectors or Cults…
I’ve honestly never heard Anna Wise, Cults or Amber Coffman’s band on the radio unless I tune into a college rock station or SiriusXMU but I hear Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Big Sean, Kanye West, French Montana almost every single day.
I don’t listen to white music so I don’t know those names those singers are known in the white community not mine, they are those whiteBread Hippie singers that the A&Rs want you to put on your project to add an “eclectic” element so white critics and white people can see themselves in the music and be more apt to support it.
Do you realize how retarded your conspiracy theory bullshit sounds? What makes “white music?” Music has no color. The only people who have heard of these people are the indie, college music crowd. No one in the industry knows about them and no one puts them in their albums to appeal to white people. They’re not even noticeable.
lol, when was Keith Sweat white?
White boy sound naive as fuck like he never took a marketing class silly bitch can’t understand why Atlantic records might ask T.I. to put a white bitch on a HipHop album…delusion.
The guppie calls it a conspiracy theory but everybody that’s ever been anywhere near a Major record label will call it cross-promotion and demographic targeting.
Sometimes I use the word “pop” becomes its a shortened version of “Popular”, and Popular music is predominately white because white people are the predominate consumers in American society by over 80% and the music they consume in mass is considered POP music, Popular music, just look at the charts that Billboard shares for a better understanding if that wasn’t clear enough.
So if 85% of the consumers who purchase rap CDs are white consumers then wouldn’t it be within the best intest of the record labels to generate interest from white consumers? White girls in videos, white girls on album covers and white girls on the features? Thats simply smart marketing and the reason they add token Blacks to white movies or white TV shows. Marketing 101.
How naive when the 50-Troll thinks its a conspiracy when I point out the FACT that both KDot and Kendrick have white bitches on their albums on sophomore projects while Scarface and Nas have 10 album catalogs without a single white human being on their albums outside of an Amy Winehouse sample so call that shit a conspiracy or all that shit like I see it and say they never needed to.
Nobody believe those conspiracy theories full of lies. You’re just talking out your ass while bashing white folks. I’m not white and I’m not a 50 fan. PS, K-Dot and Kendrick are the same person.
i didn’t know sizzle was white either i thought he was jamaican
those are good points about the marketing, but annawise is a lead singer of an indie rock band that kendrick said he had started listening to and liked her sound, so he put her on the album. makes sense since he copies her electric style inflections on Bitch Dont Kill My Vibe. and you can call K dot And J Cole mainstream, but only because their albums were extremely good that they rose to rap headlines.
Rick Ross on the other hand…
Damn I aint even gonna read that essay BruthaDee wrote about white people and hipsters I assume LMAO. Get a life mane.
95% of the people who bought K.Dot and Cole’s albums never heard of those people or even knew they were on the albums! I know I didn’t until you pointed it out in a jealous rage about them outselling Rick Ross!
Young money flop hahahaha
Young money masterflop
Rozay is steady as a mufuggah his first CD sold the same first week as MasterMind but Mastermind is waaaaay better.
He had a no.1 album, give him his time in the spotlight.
yeah props for that. unfortunately he will likely be off the charts completely in 2 months.
Ross has his own label and helped other artists like meek mill and wale in establishing their labels as well. 50 just abandons people who helped him.
Wrong. Ross didn’t help anyone. Meek and Wale’s “labels” are just tax write-offs. It’s not 50’s fault Yayo and the rest of G-Unit were lazy.
Having a label is nothing special anymore, especially when 95% of every rapper out there has one and they all fail.
Mill and Wale’s labels just started. Wait until if they close down before judging their labels. It’s jimmy’s fault none of g unit albums, including 50’s were getting a release date.
That’s no excuse. Their labels are gonna fail anyways.
Don’t ever let these Ofays steer you wrong lil Bruh.
It’s of the upmost importance to incorporate your own imprint and establish your own label and publishing company.
They want to keep us blind deaf and dumb so we end up like Tony Yayo, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and the rest of those prostitutes that got pimped by white men because they didn’t establish their own shit and get booted once they can no longer pay their pimpdaddy.
Sales don’t mean much when you split that shit 10 ways to the highways but once you establish your own label/imprint you are entitled to a share of the royalties but……
Tony Yayo never established his own imprint/label so when he dropped his album they split that shit like a pie with Universal/Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/GUNit so the nigga Yayo sold over a million albums for $10 and all he got was a million in his bank account and a BMW.
Yayo budget might have only been 1-million but the label can recoup that off of hot singles selling for 99-cents and whatever publishing percentage they may be getting off you so you might generate
12 million and only see 500,000.
Once you incorporate your own imprint you not only get a percentage of all albums sold but you can seek a distribution deal from outside sources so that if your parent label goes defunct you can still distribute your product if your contract is up or you are a free agent.
BruthaDee once again spitting lies.
Who’s bruthadee?
40 year old MMG fanboy/troll.
Bruthadee is a white boy catfish that wish he was a nigga but since hes a wannabee he tried to pretend like he is some nigga from a Twitter profile, we don’t believe you white boy, I been pulled your card.
Real talk Bro, good game I see why they mad.
And when I say they, I mean the Ross fanboys.
BruthaDee always be writing the longest comments defending Officer Ricky, you can tell he has no job or girl from looking at his twitter and IG.
I aint gonna lie.. I was in the club.. I seen you niccas jumpin up and down to a cop.. you know what Im talkin bout? The police came on y’all niccas was jumpin like it was some gangsta shit..
you know the difference right?..
You cant see when a person pretending?.. They always over do it..
Pharell dropped an album before Fiddy, must be nice to be a Boss.
his second solo album ever
Officer Ross is Fake!! 50 cent is real. Now there is some bad about him. He take loyalty 120% overboard when it come to other rappers wanna rap with other rappers. Also 50 cent not lazy…he out there making music and also doing movies and other stuff to make money. Yayo and Banks need to stop sitting by the phone to ring(50 cent to be calling) cause 50 cent can’t do everything for ya. They’re grown man…get off their ass and make records or start own labels.
This cat did his thang I caint hate this cat on a winning streak.
You mean a losing streak.
Give me millions and a successful record label and then call me a loser and I will cry my eyes out every night in my 109 room mansion while you blog endlessly about how you are winnin.
Unfortunately for you, groupie, you won’t have none of that shit.
Thank you. Like the double negative you used, I will have all of my shit.
Give Rick Ross millions and a successful record label and then call him a loser and I jerk off every night looking at pictures of his 109 room mansion while I blog endlessly about how Rick Ross is winnin.
iTunes says Ricky did 100k in digital sales but we all know that DJ Khalled purchased those on his credit card and the officer searches poop holes while you Butthurt Dickriders defend this fat fuck after he locked up innocent Black guys for no reason.
This is the Rick Ross stan BruthaDee. I never heard anyone say poop holes but him.
The 50 stans say Ricky searched buttcracks for $10 an hour which is 100% true but bruh is trying to make 50 and his fans look bad, its obvious.
That 40 year old Ross groupie been going hard. I bet he’s types 20 000 words today minimum defending Rick Ross and hating on white people and hipsters and calling 50 cent a crab. can’t help but laugh.
For those comparing ross to kendrick, kendrick is selling the fuck out. Now he’s doing songs on soundtracks. Divergent has him team up with a female hipster and amazing spider man 2 has him pair up with the wack pop singer, alicia keys and the gay neptune, pharrell.
Kendrick ain’t selling out at all. Doing soundtracks is not selling out. He worked with an indie rock band, not a female hipster. Alicia Keys is not a wack pop singer, she’s a dope R&B singer and Pharrell ain’t gay.
By your logic, Ross is also selling out since he did a song for the soundtrack of Django Unchained.
and Ross was doing Lady Gaga and Lordes remixes.
1. Django Unchained fits more with the theme of blacks though. Divergent is some teen girl shit.
2. Rick Ross did a freestyle in those songs. Every rapper does it.
A movie soundtrack is a movie soundtrack. It doesn’t matter, they both made music for movies.
Amazing Spiderman 2 isn’t some teen-girl shit.
I never said Amazing spider man 2 is some teen girl shit. That was divergent. Kendrick sells out and does songs for money while rozay carefully considers every offer.
Kendrick never sold out at all. Every rapper does songs for money, Ross included. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t sign record deals.
OP, do you even realize how hypocritical your comment is?
How is it hypocritical?
Bashing a rapper for doing movie soundtracks, something many rappers, Ross included, always do. That ain’t selling out, that’s just business.
Pharrell you let me down. You were supposed to beat officer ricky, the one we make fun off for searching poop holes even though we do worse things.
Ross groupie in full effect. Pharrell sold 2 million singles before his album came out in the USA alone. he beat Officer Ricky in every country but the USA
Why you call me a ross groupie. I hate officer tits. He took my fame, and now sells more than me. Pharrell should have beat him even though he’s wack and ross is dope.
you`re trying too hard
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLn1r1Ig0TI
The burbs be going crazy for Rozay. White boys bought 170k of that 180k!
“yeah props for that. unfortunately he will likely be off the charts completely in 2 months.”
Two months? I’ll give him no more than 4 weeks lol
THE HOMIE
mastermind = 179k 1st week
bisd = 110k 1st week
BAWSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rick Ross and MMG whole catalog still ain`t sell more than massacre LMAO
50 sold out back then and people were buying cd’s in 2005.
Yeah, 50 sold out arenas.
Ross came out in 06, why aint he plat yet
He sold out arenas only because he sold out and did pop songs. Candy Shop is some pop shit. Ross prefers theaters and make hiphop. Ross will go gold again.
You’re wrong about everything again. 50 made hip-hop music like Ross. Ross won’t go gold again.
Thats like sayin Ross prefers pennies to dollars. LMAO
Port of Miami’s platinum. Video confirms it.
You’re trying to resuscitate this dead horse again? Port of Miami is NOT platinum. That video lied to you.
That’s what you said last time, yet he went gold. Of course we all strive for platinum but ross is eating well.
Quit hating bitch. Facts are facts and Port of Miami went platinum.
What, that his album isn’t platinum? It still isn’t.
Nobody’s hating. I’m just stating the fact that Port Of Miami did not go platinum.
Those are outdated facts. The new fact is that port of miami went platinum. If he were to lie, he would say all of his albums are diamond. Relax, its just POM, the rest went gold.
Okay lets say port of miami is platinum, it only took 9 years LMAO. It don`t even count if you can`t do it in 1 album cycle, before the next record is released like most artists.
No, they’re current facts. Port of Miami is still not platinum after all these years. It’s still gold like Trilla, TD, and GFID. The video lied, period.
Port of Miami still went platinum. Illmatic took forever to get to platinum. Port of Miami is platinum and the rest are gold.
Port of Miami did not go platinum and only one album, DTR, didn’t sell gold. Accept the truth.
The only truth is in that video. ROSS WENT FUCKING PLATINUM!! HOW MANY TIME DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS?
That video is filled with lies. Ross did not go platinum. Why can’t you set your fanboy thoughts aside and realize that?
It’s not just fanboys. Anyone with a decency to open up will believe that ross went platinum.
Yes, it is just you being a fanboy. Anybody with a brain will know that Ross did not go platinum.
pom and trilla sold over 800k in the first 6 months of release I’m pretty sure they both sold over a million copies each by now! just because you sell a million copies doesn’t the riaa will give you a plaq look at lil wayne I’m not a human being part 1 it sold over a million records but according to the riaa its still gold
You made that up.
check it out for yourself and holla back at me I’m not a human is still gold according to riaa and it sold 950k 2yrs ago u are funny thanks for entertaining my coment my girl is sleep so I’m bored she takes up all da room in the bd with her legs all on me n shit
Holy shit lol this comment section is nuts. Yal really love album sales. Yeah someone will be like “oh why’d you click then faggot” cause I was interested too lol I just didn’t think there was this much hype over album sales
Fact is J Cole sold over 100k more in 7 days (Rick Ross had 8 full days) without Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne, a widely anticipated reuniong with Jeezy. Ross had Diddy executive producing, the backing of nearly the whole industry, more promo and a whole extra day of sales. Shit is pathetic to say the least!
but but but J cole did 1 song with some obscure hipster band and a white girl no one ever heard of so he sold 120k more than Rick Ross who kept it hip-hop with Lil Wayne, Kanye and Jay-Z!
J Cole’s music is still hip-hop.
No, its bitchmade music.
No, it’s hip-hop.
No, its bitchmade music for you bitch.
No, it’s hip-hop music for hip-hop people like me.
Jay-Z wouldn`t sign a bitchmade nigga. It`s amazing that cole sold 300k without a Jay-Z feature but Ross cant sell 200k with Jay-Z, Diddy, Kanye, Lil Wayne and Jeezy.
Bitchmade niggas like j cole sell more than hiphop acts like ross.
Both J Cole and Ross are hip-hop acts.
Justin Bieber is more Hiphop than J Cole. Ross is hiphop 100%.
Bieber’s not hip-hop at all, he’s a pop singer. J Cole is hip-hop like Ross.
J Cole is NOT HIPHOP. He’s bitchmade.
J Cole IS hip-hop. He makes the same music as Ross, only he doesn’t rhyme about drug-lord fantasies, he rhymes about life in general.
Yet in the end still went gold just like Ross has.
do not respond to this guy. he just keep saying whoever sells more than Ross is not hiphop despite Ross having an album full of pop rapper features like Wayne, Big Sean, Kanye and Jay-Z.
Justin Bieber is more gangster than Rick Ross. At the young age of 19 he had already caught more charges and cases than a 38 year old Rick Ross!
JCOLE IS NOT BITCHMADE. I bet you fuck niggas the same people fucking turning up to chief keef and waka flaka. J cole way more real than any shit you listen to.
Murda’s back on the charts. The queen of Murda, Ashanti has another top ten hit. Ja Rule gonna return to the top of the charts.
I didn’t know this was 2001.
She said she wanna do a song with Godfather 50.
^TOO BAD GAME “AJ RULED” YOUR FAV RAPPER’S CAREER
hu da fuck is ja? its 2014 dumbass
Too bad Game has less of a career, less money and less everything than 50 cent except for tattoos of other niggas
The guy who said POM did not go platinum is probably a lowlife loser jacking off to 50 porn, bawling his eyes out, because 50’s about to bomb.
The guy who said POM did go platinum is probably a lowlife loser jacking off to Ross porn, bawling his eyes out, because Ross bombed.
^STOP D-RIDING THE SNITCH, DUMB ASS. HE AINT EVEN DROPPED AN ALBUM IN 5 YRS SINCE GAME “JA RULED” HIS CAREER. ROSS IS THE FAKEST IN THE GAME BUT 5.0 THE SNITCH IS EVEN WORSE!!!!!!
No one even talkng about 50 we talkng about how it may or may not have taken Ross 9 years to go platinum once and the only proof that it happened it from a video from Ross himself that also claimed Deeper than Rap was gold.. LOL
Let’s not forget how he put out a promo video for Mastermind that showed a clip of him in 2003 getting interviewed and he put 1999 on the screen to trick his fans.
The Game posts pictures of others niggas money, bottles and watches on Instagram and makes up stories about how they are his and then gets exposed by the rich white boys he stole the pictures from. Where they do that at????
^I’VE SEEN YOU PASTING THAT SAME COMMENT BEFORE, HOMIE. YOU CAN’T FOOL ME, SHOW ME SOME EVIDENCE!
YOU’RE JUST MAD GAME ENDED YOUR FAV’ RAPPER’S CAREER !
G UNOT!
you cant show evidence on dx but its out there all you gotta do is google “Game steals instagram pic” and 2 of the examples pop up with the original images and dates that were posted months before he stole them and tried to pass them off ass his own. I dont even like 50 Cent!
dat nigga stays gettin exposed for instagram fronting, funny how he gotta jack rich white guys pictures thinking know one will catch on
If 50 is a snitch that means Game knowingly signed to a snitch but the reality is that Game’s manager is the real snitch who told on other men and got them sent away to prison to get his sentences reduced.
I’m still waiting to hear someone come out and say “50 Cent told the police on me and got me sent away to prison” but it’s never happened.
50 CENT SNITCH ON SUPREME AND FILED A RESTRAINING ORDER ON BLACK CHILD AND JA! DUDE IS A RAT NOT A LEGEND. U DICK RYDERS THINK GAME A STRIPPER CUZ 50 SAY SO? BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA WHERES THE PROOF? BESIDES PHOTOSHOPED PICTURES??? LOLOL I CAN FIND 1000 OF VIDS OF 50 BEING A SNITCH BUT NOT ONE OF GAME BEING A STRIPPER??? WANNA KNOW WHY? BECAUSE HE NEVER WAS! GAME MAKES GUNIT LOOK SNITCHES NOW! EVEN MORE PROOF 40 GLOCC SUEING HIM FOR BEATIN HIS ASS! BAAAHAHAHA GUNIT IS DEAD STFU DICK RYDERS!
nikkas toking out their asses
Supreme said himself 50 had nothing to do with his prison sentence or murder cases.
And I’m pretty sure Game himself admitted to being a stripper once or twice.. LOL @ “1000 videos of 50 being a snitch”
40 Glocc is as much of a part of G-Unit as Shawty Lo. LOL
About 3 years ago, a very well dressed Asian man (not the MIT geek types), some fucking bushido warrior type smacked his bitch a few times in the street and jacked her up in a busy clubbing section of my city. Now, I learnt a long time ago, 99.99999…..% of the time, it’s the woman’s fault. All of a sudden, some white liberal mangina decides to get off his bike after drinking his Starbuck’s faggachino and “intervene” on behalf of this bitch. Rightly so, this man gets his ass beat to the ground. But that’s not even the fun part, the police were called by all of the politically correct club-goers and shocked white liberal women, that “only” one man came to that Americanized Asian cunt’s rescue or attempted rescue. When the police show, the guy’s gf emphatically denies he ever hit her, saying he did nothing wrong, in addition to saying this white hipster attacked her man! Only the witnesses testified on behalf of the beta, but let this be a lesson, a bitch will never fucking come to your aid! Even if you defended her unto death, she’d never, ever fuck you if she smelled weakness. In addition to the beta hipster mangina getting his ass bloodly beat, he summarily went home with no pussy, while the Asian guy probably got the best pussy of his life. Hell he probably conceived his first child that night. Lesson to be learned, never aid the Western cunt. She isn’t worthy of it, men use to defend virgins and nuns, and now they defend whores with tramp-stamps who probably have had 20 abortions by 19. Men, learn your worth.
im confused
YOU SOBS RESPECT THE EMPEROR RESPECT THE LAST OF THE REAL NIGGAS GUCCI MANE
Gucci mane is the realest nigga in rap today and heres why
he beats niggas up
shoots niggas dead
smashes niggas with bear bottles
throws ratchets out of his cars
MOST IMPORTANTLY HE RUNS THE PRISONS AND HAS KILLED A NIGGA
now these are all credentials of nothing but a real nigga.
glad to see you back
“That second album will flop harder than the first”
Maybe, but it’s still on the way,
might get pushed back if his singles flop like Rozay and 50
Rozay only pushd back the album to make it further into a classic. He didn’t release any official singles except promo singles. BTW, Devil is a Lie and Sanctified made it to the hot 100.
Yet that didn’t happen. He released two official singles. DIAL and Sanctified did not make the Hot 100.
His sales numbers are decent nothin spectacular but a #1 album is a #1 album anybody tryna downplay that is hatin .. In terms of Rick Ross’s relevancy tho its shows that alot of people dont buy into him no matter how much Def Jam promotes his projects … He had wayy more promotion then Q Wale Cole etc but his numbers are never anything to go crazy over .. Its certainly not enough for all the boss shit Rick Ross talks but that’s a different story ….. I like him but i wish they would stop tryna make him into a rap superstar when he’s clearly not one
Ross has the nicest boobs in rap. I love the beats he picks. If you ever see him live you would be mesmerized by the way his breasts bounce all over the place alone to the songs. I think of it as art.
for someone as big as ross and someone who has the backing of the entire industry bloggers websites etc and is put in our faces 24/7 that is terrible, no excuses. you go on worldstar all his videos are at the top you go on rapradar its like his own fansite he got elliott wilson Shaheem Reid and more all promoting him on twitter along with all his friends khaled etc and all the promo videos interviews stories etc you would expect a lot more. but in the real world people dont really like or respect this guy so they aren’t gonna give him their money
how can u co-sign a nigga like ross fakin like he bout that shit and not keeping it 100? how can u agree with him faking another niggaz life to kids who gonna think he really bout that and imitate it? a nigga who really bout that done been through it and gonna tell u both sides of the story. theres gonna be two sides of the coin. But with a fraud all u gonna hear is glorifaction . where is this niggaz song about being in jail and dealing with the bs? where is this niggaz song about dealing with a babymother who dont want to do a 10 year stretdch with u? and a mother who is on her death bed beggin u to tell and come home to your kids? where are those stories? the other side of that coin he flippin? that nigga a bitch he wanna talk about ballin cause he never balled before this shit. He cant rap about the otherside cause he never lived a street life the nigga a fraud and a phony and i hope the gd’s kill his punk ass
Good looks Rozay, hopefully he can use some of this money to hook Gunplay up with a Dermatologist or some Proactiv to cure his severe case of adult acne remove some of them junkie scabs all over his face.
G-UNIT and 50 ain’t shit. It’s hilarious that some people think that shit is even relevant. Like, peple still saying “GGGG-UNIT” in 2014? And 50? Fucking clown hasn’t dropped a solid release in almost a decade. seriously, look at that motherfucker’s record. The Massacre was decent…after that, bunch of horsedick spewing vitamin water on his Apprentice rip-off show that flopped.
look at 50s record???? wtf did u say? did u look at ross’s record? u CANNOT compare it to 50… 50 sold over 30 mllion records in hes career, ross dont even come close, 50s worse album will outsell mastermind…. just watch 2nd week sales for mastermind and ul see… before i self destruct is past gold already and mastermind wont go gold cus def jam done bought the albums
Rick Ross >>>>> Martin Luther King
If you’re talking weight, then you’re correct.
Elliott Wilson is human dogshit– and that’s an insult to dogs.
45 year old man with a faux hawk
No one even talkng about 50 we talkng about how it may or may not have taken Ross 9 years to go platinum once and the only proof that it happened it from a video from Ross himself that also claimed Deeper than Rap was gold.. LOL
Deeper than Rap did go gold. POM went platinum. The video’s proof.
Let’s not forget how he put out a promo video for Mastermind that showed a clip of him in 2003 getting interviewed and he put 1999 on the screen to trick his fans.
That’s because it WAS in 1999 dumbass.
1. Deeper Than Rap did not go gold and Port Of Miami did not go platinum. The video lied.
2. It was not in 1999, it was in 2003.
He was wearing a basketball jersey that came out in 2003
All his cd’s are at least gold. With the exception of Mastermind of course.
DTR is not gold according to the RIAA
I know DX page is just full of people with hate in their heart, but with the current enviorment, and a lack of hits, Ross’s album sales are pretty god damn good. Which leads to the question: how is his fanbase that loyal? Is the Jay-Z-in-a-fat-suit routine actually working?
Rick ross the shit yo.
fuck wateva bullshii yall haterz tokin Ross is Boss-179 1st week yall can choke on a D
See? I told y’all niggas that Ross would easily outsell the best and brightest in the rap game! I told y’all. Now pay up! #bawse
Thank you, man, it’s always good to have the support of a close friend and a fan. Real bosses do real things.
Oh, by the way, I popped the champagne and invited some lady friends over to keep us company while we bathe in the jacuzzi. Time to celebrate! #bawse
Here we have a delusional faboy talking to himself.
*fanboy*
Excuse me, sir, I’m trying to have a conversation with my personal friend & ghostwriter, Rozay. Please excuse me while I go count my money.
We all know this is just the same delusional troll talking to himself.
Who’s this “we”, nigga? I’m trying to talk to my boss and now we’re celebrating another victory for Maybach Music while being accompanied by sexy, European females in a bubbling jacuzzi. Now, move, bitch, get out the way.
Yep, thats dentalbitch.
Just goes to show these niggas how easy it is when you got the right connections. See what happens when you hate on a nigga who had a respectable job in the past, but ACTUALLY sold drugs afterwards because the pay wasn’t cutting it? Maybe the next time you nerds decide to do research on me, get your facts straight. Just because I grew up in the suburbs don’t mean you know EVERYTHING.
WE DON’T BELIEVE YOU
YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE
“when you hate on a nigga who had a respectable job in the past”
they wasn’t hating on the fact that he had a job they was hating on the fact that he lied about it over and over
I dont care about his employment history or him lying to Vlad about it, Im over it, I could sit here and express my hatred for 50 because he beat on a woman but what does that have to do with beats and rhymes?
you regular do express your hatred for 50 though,
“I could sit here and express my hatred for 50 because he beat on a woman but what does that have to do with beats and rhymes?”
I would bet money this is the negro writing essays about how 50 is a crab on every one of his articles.
Ive never seen a rapper benefit from production and features more then Rick Ross but thats just me. All I hear is “he picks great beats”, “he picks good features”, “this bumps in my trunk”.
“No more eating peanut butter sandwiches, we eating loaves.”
-Don’t forget his timeless lyrics.
whats it like to be a groupie
You should know the answer by you being a groupie for 50. Animal Abortion’s going to bomb. Miss making jokes about 50 not being able to get an album out.
nice try, i actually like rick ross but you are a groupie
People fuck with his music, thats why there has those Gold albums and when you are in your car or in the club you dont need complex lyrics and you dont count features you simply enjoy the music and the mood.
feelings were caught
“Other personnel records include a fingerprint card that was used during a criminal background check, and the resulting report showing that Ross was clean. In a supplemental application, Ross agreed to perform a wide range of correctional officer duties, including “shoot an inmate attempting to escape.””
he isn’t a great artist. his lyrics consist of undercooked bland and shallow mafioso references, about cocaine as if we’re still in the cocaine era in 2014.
he has no real personality or direction, sometimes he’s a mafioso boss, sometimes he’s a trap lord, sometimes he’s big meech, sometimes he’s john gotti, sometimes he’s scarface.
Look at the intricacy of your critique you sat through his music wasting precious minutes of your life subjecting yourself to what you just described, you are a sadist
precious minutes? at least i gave it a spin while i was working, it would be wrong to criticize without actually giving it a listen which you would be hating on me for doing too.
can’t win with a fanboys.
It doesent matter how much Rozay sells or dont sell, 99% of rap fans are into Rap music for the music only then the 1% are forum/blog nerds who are into sales, personal issues and everything else non-related to the music. Get a life, get a girl, if you spent as much time chasing girls as you do debating rap sales you might actually enjoy your life instead of wasting it on frivolous shit.
the irony of this comment is you seem to care
Didnt take long for those words to hit home. This era of Rap with kids bragging about YMCMB selling the most and going platinum is laughable, if you ask an old head how many platinum albums Ice Cube has or KRSONE has they wont even know because nobody cared it was all about who put together the best songs and albums.
“Didnt take long for those words to hit home.”
aint shit hit home. you one of them niggas always hating on “forum/blog nerds” while you writing essays defending your fav rapper and catchin feelins when they make fun of your fav rappers.
once again, the irony is you wrote another comment instead of getting a life or a girl. you wanna debate about how sales dont matter. LMAO
Look at the intellectual level and the wordage he uses, LOL, speaks for itself.
Sad thing is the guy always talking about forum/blog nerds used racked up like 50 thousand forum posts before he got banned for being a racist troll/ mmg groupie! Now he on twitter all day reading everything with an MMG hashtag.
40 years old right? Aside from Bruthadee listening to mmg shit, he probably likes that chainsmoker song, #SELFIE, because that’s what he takes all day.
LMAO
How can you be comfortable giving the detailed actions of a stranger? Are you that forthcoming about yourself and who you are or is their something about you so shameful that you would rather stockpile researched information on another man instead of sharing your own info.
Feelings were caught by bruthadee.
he always trys to flip it on yall, turns himself into being a geeky loser groupie into you being a bruthadee groupie, like it somehow makes him not a middle aged selfie taking nerd
Its odd how Rap music is the only genre where fans debate at length about sales but I think some of these people are not really fans of the culture but just bored people cheering for someone to fail and cheering for someone to succeed.
feeeeeeelings were caught
You know what I’ve noticed. The people who see right through this kind of music are usually self-aware, have some common sense and get tired of the same formula. The people that eat this stuff up usually say one of two things “This bangs” “This goes hard” If that’s all it takes, for a song to sound “tough” to impress you, or move you, then I feel sorry for you. I can’t judge you or people like you since I don’t know you, but I can make a reasonable assumption that authenticity and lyricsm doesn’t mean shit to the average, so called “hip-hop” fan out there today that seems to worship money, lies and the sound of the beat over everything else.
Most people like aggressive music that goes hard. That’s why gangsta rap sold millions back when albums flew off shelves. The more reflective stuff is good to in small doses, but isn’t popular in clubs, bars or in cars.
People work and want to unwind with music or movie entertainment, when you riding out on a Saturday with your boys you want some simple fun music that bangs you dont want a lyrical dissertation.
The foundation of rap music is the damn MUSIC, if you want lyrics so bad then go listen to spoken word poetry, all that stupid talk about “lies” is just a manifestation of your warped views on art because you are too stupid to understand that lyrics are just a form of poetry open to the imagination of the creator and the listener, stop looking for truth in Raps and just enjoy the poetry. Let the club people enjoy their 2-Chainz and you enjoy your Aesop Rock.
you guys seem to be proving his point.
Everyone on this website is a blog/forum nerd virgin geek who never leaves the basement and knows nothing about the streets or real rap music except for me.
I’m in touch with what the streets are saying and despite me commenting on here all the time I’m the only one who’s not a nerdy loser with no friends and I go outside and get laid ALL THE TIME AND HAVE AN AMAZING LIFE.
I see those words effected you to the degree that you repeated them.
^^^ feelings were caught
I’m looking for a classic local gangster album from the Shrevetown Outlawz “City of Hope”. It came out between 1988 and 1990. The lead rapper was named Q.O. and the hype man was Sly Rock.
“I think some of these people are not really fans of the culture but just bored people”
^ been telling y’all this for a while
look at the comment content: one guy is drawing out one comment into 20, the times posted for the majority are during middle & high school hours (how would they know about the business if they don’t even have a diploma?), others are straight up bullsh*t dying for attention
somewhere down the line you gotta ask yourself are they music lovers, or personality followers, and the evidence says the latter
^^^^ get a life

I like the discussion on rap politics and music elements but only a few heads are knowledgable in that area most people just hate hate and more hate.
I just like chatting with young white boys and schooling them on hip-hop and black history. Some of them even add me on twitter and I reward them with pictures of my crotch and they send me pictures of their abs. Everyone wins. #SelfieLife
The disconnect that you see is often from people who are not actual members of the culture they just use it for chat purposes with no exchange of knowledge but a few share some good stuff.
what are you talking about? you’re probably some white skinned geeky virgin stuck in your basement. you don’t understand anything about the streets and how real niggas take selfies in their cares to post on IG for all the homies to see.
Eminem MMLP2 792K
Drake NWTS 658K
Jay-Z MCHG 528K (+1 million from Samsung)
J Cole Born Sinner 297K
Nicki Minaj PF:RR 253k
Kendrick Lamar GKMC 242K
Lil Wayne IANAHB2 217K
Kendrick and Cole outselling Ross first week is the most impressive thing about that list. That’s not very boss.
LOL 50cent dickriders out heavy and full in this blog..since when is 180k in this era a flop… i consider that a W idc how its done..180k to 50 dicker riders = bought by label but 80k would of been a flop..i swear 50 dick riders are the worst of the worst
i dont fuck w ross..but this is a W all day long in 2014.
I dont listen to 50 Cent but 180 for Rick Ross, who’s supposed to be one of the biggest artists in the game is not very good. Look at all those features he had (Jay-Z, Kanye, Lil Wayne), the hype of re-uniting with Jeezy, Diddy backing him and executive producing the album and he still sold 120k less than J Cole first week who had half the promo and features!
You copied and pasted that j cole bullshit again. Features don’t mean shit anymore since people can buy them individually. Executive producers aren’t selling points. 180k is a good sales total for a gangster rapper. 290k for a bitchmade rapper like j cole is a flop since he sold out.
Get some new material instead of resorting to j cole bitch.
180k is amazing for a studio gangster who never lived any of his raps.
I love how Ross trolls the 50 Dickriders with his success, they are so disturbed that he gets high profile features and support from his friends that they feel the need to compare him to J Cole who is much more mainstream. Ross has never been a big seller he is not a crossover artist but he is a consistent artist.
J Cole is more mainstream than Rick Ross? SUREE!!!! Whatever you gotta tell yourself.
Truth is people ain’t fucking with that fraud like that whether the album is good or not. That’s why he consistently tops out at gold.
J Cole hasn’t gone platinum either. Ross has nothing to prove at this point since he isn’t a crossover artist. J Cole does since he’s signed to jay z.
@Anon5 J Coles music is more mainstream and I like his music and production he isnt going to give you the club bangers and street anthems but he makes thoughtful music you can zone out to with your DreBeats. The guy above seems jealous that Jeezy fucks with Ross.
FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT J COLE IS BITCHMADE? JUST BECAUSE HE HAS A COUPLE LOVE SONG HITS DOESNT MEAN SHIT. THE REASON WHY HE SELLS SO MUCH IS CUZ HE MAKES REAL MOFUCKIN FANS UNLIKE ROSS’S FAKE ASS.
By your logic on fake ass, eminem must be one of the fakest niggas alive since he said he killed his wife. It’s just entertainment.
That is another bullshit lie you made up.
OMG, J Cole’s got the bigger shlong here. I so want to see what his dick is like. It’s bigger than Ross’s dick. J Cole’s may taste like shit while Ross’s taste nice but at least J Cole’s is bigger. I feel the need to talk about J Cole all the time.
J Cole don’t claim to be the biggest boss and on top of the rap game, its funny how he sold so much more. Being humble and real goes a long way, apparently further than big name friendships.
J Cole’s album sales fell off the cliff though after the 1st week while ross has decent legs. Also, Ross is hiphop while J Cole is bitchmade. J Cole acts like a gangster yet never experienced that life unlike ross.
“J Cole’s album sales fell off the cliff though after the 1st week while ross has decent legs”
Actually J Cole 84k second week selling more than Yeezus, he’s at over 600k which is more than Rick Ross can say about his last release!
Still terrible for a pop rap album. 500k is basically platinum for gangster rap.
The 50 Dickrider never uses logic he just spews half-truths in order to get a response he thinks being a boss is about record sales and not about running a label of artists, J Cole is signed to another rapper he is not a boss yet.
J Cole is a hip-hop artist like Ross and Born Sinner’s sales for a hip-hop album are good. Cole never claimed to be a gangster at all, he just talks about his life while Ross always claims to be a gangster when he never experienced that life.
I aint gonna lie.. I was in the club.. I seen you niccas jumpin up and down to a cop.. u know what Im talkin bout? The police came on y’all niccas was jumpin like it was some gangsta shit..
you know the difference right?..
You cant see when a person pretending?.. They always over do it..”
I spend all day on HHDX responding to trolls because I’m sad and lonely and got banned from all the hip-hop forums online for being a racist troll myself but I swear guys, I’m not a nerd or a blog geek like most of these freakish losers leaving comments who don’t even like the music.
Another geek loser.
If I’m a geek loser you should send me a picture of your dick and I will send you a picture of mine and we will compare who’s is bigger.
DM me @BruthaDee on twitter
J Cole could have easily gone platinum in a different era if it is that big of a deal to you but nobody cares enough to hold it against him they just enjoy the music and keep it moving.
How is it possible that Rick Ross hasnt gone plat once, he came up in a different era, back in 2006 whe Jeezy and T.I. were going platinum a bunch of times? Even Soulja Boy went plat.
ross is more relevant then all 3 of those ppl u named jeezy tip and soulja without goin plat
what do you mean more relevant? Jeezy sells more records, therefore he has more fans. they made the same money last year, jeezy’s artist got a plat single, no one playing wale’s singles in the clubs…
GeekBoy thinks whomever sells the most is more relevant and has more fans LMFAO I told you these 50 Dickriders had the lowest IQs when it comes to music, they are just nerds who Dickrider 50 because 50 made some videos with nerds.
How can you be more relevant than an artist but somehow sell less records and make less money? Jeezy is just as relevant if not more relevant according to them numbers.
MEN LIE, WOMEN LIE, NUMBERS DONT LIE.
“The disconnect that you see is often from people who are not actual members of the culture they just use it for chat purposes with no exchange of knowledge but a few share some good stuff.”
Wrong, not that complicated he just wants to have someone to talk to.
What the hell does J. Cole have to do with Rick Ross or anything for that matter regarding album sales at this moment in time lol
Not a damn thing, the 50 troll is such a hateful bird he just picked a random rapper who sold more than Ross to try to throw shade on his success, LOL one time he compared Ross sales to Nelly. He is desperate and fun to watch.
Even if Rick Ross soared to 500k opening week, they would always pick another rapper that sold more than him like feminem and Gay Z.
These two comments come from the same dickrider.
“180k is amazing for a studio gangster who never lived any of his raps”
Also taking into consideration a much more hyped Schoolboy Q album only did 139k.
Ross’ album was more hyped.
Schoolboy Q is the sidekick of HipHops newest and most hyped artist and he was supposed to drop an album as solid as GKMC but he failed and people are attempting to force themselves to like I despite the lackluster production and sloppy theme.
Nobody expected Schoolboy to put out something as good as GKMC. Nobody forces themselves to like something, they just like it, period.
Ross the the sidekick of Jay-Z and Diddy who is supposed to be the biggest boss in rap and the next Biggie who had Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kanye and a Jeezy reunion track on his album plus Diddy producing the whole thing.
He failed to deliver and had to resort to remaking old Biggie and ODB songs because he’s not creative enough to come with some original ideas to make his own timeless classic records.
“That’s why he consistently tops out at gold”
He tops out because most people download for free, thus his albums don’t have legs.
That’s not an excuse since there’s still artists who manage to do big numbers despite free downloads.
GRODT – 8 mill
The Massacre – 5 mill
Curtis – 1 Mill
BISD – 500,000
That’s not an excuse for Fiddy he lost 7.5 million fans in 7 years not because niggas don’t buy albums and DL his shit for free but because other artists manage to do big numbers while he got outsold by J Cole.
I love re-runs.
damn that nigga lost 7.5 million fans and he still made more than the biggest boss rick ross last year without an album, our or hot label!… what a loser!
Fuck his money unless of course you want to have a baby by him and be a millionaire, who is out here dropping albums and putting young dudes in the game 50 or Rozay? 50 may have more white fans but both J Coles last two albums outsold 50s last album.
AND ROSS LAST ALBUMS LOL
lol Em bout to go double plat again
Not 4x though. Tha Carter 5 will outsell eminem
No, it won’t.
LOL, Ross is such a troll whenever he wins they get so mad that I just sit back and watch them pound their keyboards and say Def Jam copped all his records or Eminem sold more or 180K is a flop after a year where Kanye and Wayne failed to go Platinum for the first time in their careers blah blah blah……
It’s so fun to watch the 50 Stan’s try to downplay his moves it’s like the entire industry conspires to torture the 50 Stan’s by embracing Ross and co-signing him. I love Rap.
BTW, I’m BruthaDee making up lies. Don’t listen to me.
Yes everyone who doesn’t like a fake ass cop rapping about being a super gangster is a 50 stan. HAHA G-UNOT!
Anyone calling someone a “cop” because they spent a year as a Correctional Officer is either a brainwashed 50 Stan or just undeniably white.
“Anyone calling someone a “cop” because they spent a year as a Correctional Officer is either a brainwashed 50 Stan or just undeniably white.”
Only extreme Ross fanboys say this.
50 Cents nerdbase don’t even know the difference between a cop and a CO because they know nothing about crime and punishment except what they see on their computers from Fiddy.
I know a C.O. is less respectable than a cop. A C.O. requires similar training to a cop but less intelligence and physical abilities. Ross was studying criminal justice with dreams of becoming a police officer but couldn’t pass the physical test.
“50 Cents nerdbase don’t even know the difference between a cop and a CO because they know nothing about crime and punishment except what they see on their computers from Fiddy.”
More bullshit that only Ross fanboys say.
White bitches online be so clueless and fucked off in the head that one wrote that somehow Police and CO jobs are not “respectable”….these bitches brains been scrambled by rap songs. Some square ass reject will want you to believe that an honest job is somehow less respectable than being a criminal…but thats what these white bitches want you brothers to believe so they can attempt to keep us in the gutter.
he said a police officer was more respectable than a c.o., not that a cop wasnt respectable.
theres nothing respectable about having an honest job and lying about it to convince people you were actually a criminal when you weren’t one and actually held down a regular job.
J Cole is a hip-hop artist like Ross and Born Sinner’s sales for a hip-hop album are good. Cole never claimed to be a gangster at all, he just talks about his life while Ross always claims to be a gangster when he never experienced that life.
Ross talks about his life too. Mainly about his struggles after haters tried to shoot him. Tha rally fucksy up. J Cole hasn’t gone platinum either. Don’ act like he’s jay z.
No, he doesn’t. Ross mainly talks about drug-lord fantasies.
J Cole came out in like 2011 while Ross been out since 2006 when all his peers were still going plat.
No one tried to shoot Ross, not one bullet hit the car, no one has aim that bad… it was a warning or a publicity stunt, we will never know.
J Cole will never go platinum and 99.5% of rappers who debuted after 2006 will never go Platinum but you dont need to sell a million to make a million, you dont need to cross over to the pop charts to be successful.
When I think about platinum I think about YMCMB and when I think about Gold I thi k about J.Cole, and Lupe Fiasco.
and when I think about fakes I think about Rick Ross
Think about a suntan you marshmallow you look pasty as fuck.
feelings were caught, we got a C.O. nigga on DX

Also taking into consideration a much more hyped Schoolboy Q album only did 139k.”
^ talk like this is when you know Quote-Man is pussy
we know he don’t like Kendrick, but why hate on Kendrick’s team?
The truth is Q’s album landed in the same hood as Rozay and Pharrell. Top 3 first week. Quote-Man don’t know the sales projections for Interscope nor the promo budgets for either rapper.
But you have a chance to see it for yourself. Do YOU think Q got a bigger promo budget than Rozay HHDX reader? Be honest.
Q had a number 1 album, just like Ross
Q had alot more hype than Ross and should have had a comparable budget, especially for a debut.
Nah, Ross had more hype.
“Ross the the sidekick of Jay-Z and Diddy who is supposed to be the biggest boss in rap and the next Biggie who had Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Kanye and a Jeezy reunion track on his album plus Diddy producing the whole thing.

Ross has MMG, Diddy has Bad Boy and JayZ has Roc Nation while Kendrick and Schoolboy Q are label mates on TDE/Interscope, they are also a part of the collective known as Black Hippy.
Dont be envious because a Gold selling rapper is capable of getting Platinum artists to feature on his #1 album. Nobody remade a Ol Dirty Bastard song you snow dog they used the phrase on an Ol Dirty Bastard song. Rozay has a catalog with 200 songs and none of them are remakes so kill the no creativity mess.
Ross did remake an ODB song. All of Ross’ songs are the same shit.
“a catalog with 200 songs”
that’s it? LOL i bet they all fairytales about selling coke
No its mostly fantasies about killing his mother and the mother of his child.
which one? the one who fucked 50 cent and floyd mayweather or the one who fucked another nigga on video that 50 cent narrated and put on the internet for his kids to find some day?
“That’s not an excuse since there’s still artists who manage to do big numbers despite free downloads”
All of 3: Drake, Eminem and Macklemore.
Jay-Z, Kanye, Kendrick, Wayne,
That desperate kid always shoots himself in the foot, he names a handful of artists that do big numbers and it isn’t even 0.5% of the rappers who drop albums. What a clod.
BruthaDee still be spending all his free time being a rick ross groupie? I seen that nigga on SOHH and 99% of his comments was hating on 50 cent. LMAO. what a geek.
Officer ricky=gusto flop cuz def jamz bought about 100k of mastermind

Just bought #MasterMind today. Listened to it top to bottom. Its not Rozay’s best Album (Deeper than Rap,Teflon Don were his best n are in my personal Classics->Port of Miami? had some classic tracks tho however those two albums were Rozay’s Best-my opinion)But the album is dope.The album flowed from start to finish.Exceptional Tracks were Rich is Gangsta, Nobody, Devil is a Lie, Mafia Music 3, What a Shame, and Blk n Wht.
The Album could hv done with more productions from the Usual suspects->Cool n Dre, The Inkredibles, Justice League, The Runners,DJ Toomp, JR Rotem…u know the usual producers whose productions work well to Rozay’s Rapping style.
