The first-week sales projection has been revealed for Rick Ross’ fifth studio album God Forgives, I Don’t, released yesterday via Def Jam.
According to HDD (via HHNM), Ricky Rozay’s latest offering is slated to sell between 200,000 and 220,000 copies in its first week. The sales puts the album on track for a No. 1 debut. The project features the singles “3 Kings” featuring Dr. Dre and Jay-Z, as well as “Touch’N You” featuring Usher, “Hold Me Back” and “So Sophisticated” featuring Meek Mill.
Ross’ last album, 2010’s Teflon Don, bowed at No. 2 on the charts with 176,300 copies sold. It marked his first album that failed to enter at the top of the chart.

So there’s between 200,000 and 220,000 cops in USA…
LMAO…. funny shit!!
ROFL… Cosign
yea, another album of his not going platinum. he pretty much marketed most of the songs already, so i doubt he has anything left to push the album after a few weeks. Just another gold plaque I guess
“Just another gold plaque” the same people who say Nas is doing good in this climate with 150k, fucking hypocrites, off yaselves.
It’s true. Nas didn’t have a lot of promotion, so his numbers are good. Meanwhile Ross has a shitload of promo, and these numbers are predictable.
Radio singles = not all you can do promotion-wise, Nas has been getting FREE promo from everywhere that was remotely close to Hip Hop, while Ross is someone, who, going by yall nigga’s logic, should only sell singles.
Good joke.
come back with some arguments instead of repeating the same retarded post over and over, otherwise I can’t take your losing explanations seriously anymore, you must be getting access to this site through your special ed class, tell that shit your teacher.
Nothing you said is logical, retard.
j. cole sold more first week than this clown.. Hottest MC in the game my ass
The few songs i heard were garbage. Hes getting less views on his videos than up-in-coming independents. Lack of content will come back and get you in the end.
Views =/= buzz and support in the real world. And as it has been proven countless times on this site and others, people, the ones who hate and the ones who love Ross, are obsessed with him. He’s something in between, overrated by his stans and underrated by his haters.
Rozay killing the haters. #1. This will be PLAT within a few months.
Only in your dreams.
But it will go gold and if it would go plat, yall would say it won’t sell 2 million, fuck outta here with ya frustrated bitch ass.
Dumbass.
the next miserable piece of shit that stalks a highly successful dude to escape the reality of his shitty existence.
Another dumbass Ross stan stalking their idol to escape their shitty life.
lol. what are you doing on a page of guy you claim to hate, writing more comments than his fans? the only pathetic bastard I see on this page is you, the thing that makes it all the more amusing and ridiculous is the fact that you were saying the e-x-a-c-t same shit when people shitted on your hero gnozeer. lmao. what a sad, ever-losing asshole.
Wow. I see a Ross stan crying and making shit up.
hard 2 sell albums my dudes/ ross is the best n the game no argrument/ j cole is trash no way he is on ross level/ this album is sick/ straight fire
Best in the game?? He didn’t even have the first or second best verse on his own album.
Thats cool.. Too bad it cost millions to make
Millions to make? If it sells 200k it will certainly recoup whatever millions it cost…the albums not $1.
He should do what Lil Wayne does and get Birdman to buy about 400k.
Nas stay getting shitted on. Where’s the people who said Ross not even come close to 200k?
Has he done 200k yet? No, So shut the fuck up.
He didn’t, but you’re already mad. LMAO.
Idiotic Ross stans. Nas fans are happy with the numbers he did.
dat was mere prediction bitch officer ricky aint going no where close to 200k
Come back when the real sales are in, he’ll top the predictions.
No he won’t.
hey yall. its cha boi abck at it…. i aint got mad love for MMG, but i gotta ride or die for my boi rozay! album of the year… close to say album of the last 3 years. dudes a beast and a monster in this piece!! im predicting by september he have 1.3 mil… a milli baby! leeeggo bawse!
its cha boi!
You must work for MMG because you know dammn well this fool ain’t going platinum with this album. I think in 10 years he could possibly go Gold… possibly.
His tits flop so damn hard when he is on stage rappin that it cause him to have seizures.
If this is how well he actually does, Jeezy shitted on him. Yeah, maybe Jeezy’s TM 103 only sold about 230K, but considering he had significantly less promotion than Ross, Its a win for Jeezy. MMG is all over the place, and Ross is on every other song. Perhaps that beef is old, but this is the proof that Jeezy won. Now I guess you can it is over. Ross has about 10X the buzz Jeezy had going into dropping TM103, but looks like Jeezy will have outsold by 10K. Now when 50 drops his new album, it will be compared to GFID.
its disrespectful to compare 50 to ross when 50 has done ross career with one album ross is only worth 25mil ross has no classic albums he nverhad a hit song by himslef his career just like games are full of features ross could never make a hustlers ambition or a track like heat
And you much did you sell?
So that means you listened to every Rick Ross album right? And If i recall “EVERYDAY IM HUSTLING” was his first track and he was by himself, and look where that one track got him, What you doing with your LIFE?
Exactly. Everytime dude landed a hit, people were saying he will be gone next year. Ross is still here, outselling legends and there’s nothing his bitchmade haters can do about it.
Wow. It’s a lot of retarded Ross stans. His album won’t even go platinum just like the last four.
The haters (dickriders in disguise) who stalk Ross are the ones truly retard. What’s so hard about letting people enjoy his music?
The Ross stans are really becoming stupider by the seconds.
I’ve never seen you making one worthwile point, why you even bothering anymore? People could post a study and you would repeat the same shit over and over, you dumb piece of shit.
LOL. I got the stans shook. The truth hurts, don’t it?
Ross, Drake Wayne = hated and shit on all over the internet, but all of them like a motherfucker.
Nas = gets noting but praise from everyone that has an internet access, but his sales never reflect the popularity he gets throughout the internet.
I knew that this would be another time where self-called heads would be exposed, niggas prolly buying Ross’ albums, bang it all day, only to download Nas’ albums and act like a knowledge-posessing fans, only to come across as real on the net. Dudes with little to no haters have problems selling 50k, which leads to the fact that most people don’t hate popular artists themselves, but the success that is surrounding them.
This comment needs a like button.
Both of you are fucking idiots.
what a fucking loser. stay believing your own lies while nas has taken another colossal l.
What L? Nas winning.
The thing with Nas is the masses who buy music don’t really listen to rap for the “conscience,” lyrics. They listen for the beat, the cathcy hook and the witty punchlines.
You have to be able to produce number 1 hits on the radio in order to push major units.
Nas has not produced a radio smash sinced I started smashing white girls pink tacos back in the day. Nas did pretty well for having zero hits. He has a fan base that will continute to buy his albums.
Officer Ricky on the other hand does not. He has hit his pinnacle and will be falling lower and lower from here out. He won’t be this popular next year and he has major health problems loomin over his head.
He has a devil on one shoulder with a bucket of fried chicken and an angel on the other shoulder with a can of slim fast. Which one will the Fat Officer choose do you think?
LOL.
You can’t even spell “conscious” therefore your comment is invalid by default. Damn, this site needs an ignore list.
The L that a fake ass, inferior skilled Ex-Officer outsold the guy who dropped Illmatic. I guess Nas promoted this album little too much.
Regardless, Nas sold more albums than Ross period.
Funny how this album is “projected” to sell more than his last one even though he did not have any hits like he had on his last album. SMH at Fat Pig Officers buying their own albums.
Ross album is floppping like his own titties. You get ranked as the hottest MC in the game per MTV and you cant sell at least 500,000 in the first week. I bet all of the previous hottest MC’s for MTV sold at least 500k first week.
Officer Rick Ross’ album, GOd Forgives Officers don’t is in stores now flopping like his own titties.
It is odd. The singles for Teflon Don were everywhere. The singles for God Forgives aren’t poppin’ at all and he’ll sell more.
More excuses from Ross stans.
so all that promo album getting pushed back he still just a gold artist
OFCOURSE SALES DEFINE HOW GOOD U ARE THAT MEANS NELLY IS WAY BETTER THAN NAS BECAUSE HE SOLD 10MILLION ALBUMS ON HIS DEBUT N NAS HAS NEVER SOLD SO MUCH…U FUCKING HATERS ARE SO DUMB
Lady “Nicki Minaj” GaGa even out sold officer Ricky in the first week.
Nicki went Gold.
Will Officer Ricky go Gold?
Will he eat some chicken today?
Will his tittie flop as hard as his album?
and what have you accomplish so far with your shitty life, except talk shit behind ya computer screen
He’s acquired a better taste in music than you…
no one will ever catch Em’s sales
true dat
truth*
ross stans said this would be his breakout album ahahah
well considering that not many rappers these days reach the 200K mark, Id say it is
lmao. it is, you fucking idiot. he never sold 200k first week before.
More dickriding Ross stans.
More self-hating Ross haters following this man’s every move more than his fans.
More excuses from idiotic Ross dickriders.
Oh, I see you turned it around, now you playing the role of the hater, get a therapist, you’re still ain’t over the sonning you caught a week ago when Nas’ sales surfaced. All I see is you crying in pain.
Only in your wet dreams.
I wonder how Eminem, Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Kanye and Drake feel after seeing this Fat Officer Flop like this.
I mean Officer Ricky was voted the hottest MC in the game by MTV and yet he cannot sell a fraction of the albums that the above artists do. I’m sorry but jay Z was right when he said women like, men lie and numbers don’t.
Officer Ricky went mainstream big time on this album so don’t give me that BS that he makes street music for the streets because we all know that is a lie. He makes commercial pop/rap now and has failed repeatedly when it comes to sales.
This was the most hyped album of the year and the artists above literally raped ROSS in sales. SALES = SUCCESS
These kids on this boards kill me. I buy my albums because A.) I’m grown. B.) I’m paid & C.) I grew up with hip hop. When I was a teen, I listened to Black Moon, Nas, Jay, Boogie Monsters, Krs-One, Common etc. I bought every album of every artist I supported.
When I see Nas, Ross, Kanye, Blue, J.Cole, Tech 9, and whoever’s album I like, I look at the numbers and know that some of I’m one of those true fans that support music that I actually like.
You losers can stay on the boards and bitch about Ross. He’s winning. You’re in your mom’s basement probably. Nas is winning. They were on each others albums. Both are getting tour money. Who gives a fuck who sold more? My favorite group is the Roots and I could never told you how much they sold. It’s about the music you dumb fucks.
AMEN
Word…sales never meant shet back in the day. And they don’t now.
no rapper will move units like em jay and 50 did
yea thought he’d do 200 plus first week got a big buzz i know ross is getting plenty of money but makes you think if the Correction Officer thing never came out how fucking big would rozay be ……….although wayne sells more and we all know hes the fakest wannabe gangster blood skater or what-ever the fuck hes mumbling about these days rap fans confuse me
NAS LIFE IS GOOD >>>> Most the shit ive heard this year
j. cole sold more than the hottest mc in the game hahaha
50 cent is about to have a platinum single
His best selling album is Port of Miami the only one to sell a million. yes this will be at 500,000 by holiday season. but album sales will drop off next maybe between 60-70 % and all you pole smokers your are not on any of these labels and your favorite mainstream artist wouldnt give you the Brah Man from the 5th floor nod if they saw you in public
ross dont have any platinum albums
shit thats the one that came close out all 5 or 6 albums William has put out and i know this one he has out now not doing it
This makes Cole’s numbers even more impressive. Damn. Now you see what touring can do.
If these numbers hold up then Ross will have the highest debut of any HIPHOP album in 2012 besides Nicki’s. Ross is one of the few left who can sell and put out quality music.
And just for the record neither Cole World or 103 have outsold Teflon Don and its a good chance they won’t.
actually tm103 did outsell teflon don by a few thousand and is close to 700,000 sales now plus thats the only album of jeezy that didnt sell a million compared to ross
Actually, Cole World and TM103 have outsold Teflon Don. Also, Ross’ music is weak.
You’re entitled to your opinion, but thousands of hundreds of other think his music is dope as fuck, so? Go to the sites of artists that you like then.
Yeah. Hundreds of thousands of dumbass stans.
It goes both ways. Or hundreds of thousands dumb ass haters. His fans are better off, because I know for damn sure that your soul is burning like a motherfucker everytime Ross succeeds.
The only thing Ross succeeds in is eating.
If these 1st week sales projections are accurate, it’s safe to say he can expect AT LEAST another gold plaque
Ross has shown consistency.
And people were saying he would be gone after his second album. Fucking pathetic ass, self-hating losers.
IS GOLD GOOD ENOUGH FOR ROSS? GOLD MEANS HE HAS FAILED BIG TIME.
Nah, I bet you were ne of the guys who said he won’t get close to 200k, so take your mad ol’ “I make adjustments everytime reality proves me wrong” ass outta here.
Anonymous is a Ross groupie.
Way to discredit the truth, now fall back.
What truth?
this album when top out at 430k he pushed the album as far as it can go all the singles floppped and he has nothing else to release
Port of Miami – 187,000
Trilla – 198,000
Deeper then Rap – 158,000
Teflon Don – 176,000
God Forigves, I Don’t – 200,000-220,000
5 albums in Rozay about to have his best debut yet in a declining market, where people are waiting on his downfall.
consistent flops
the massacare was released a few months before ross first album it went platinum in 4 days BAWSE!!!
WHAT KIND OF TOP CLASS RAPPER IS ROSS WHEN HE HAS NEVER SEEN A PLATINUM PLAQUE ? HE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM ALL THESE LAME ASS RAPPERS OUT THERE . HE SHOULD GET ATLEAST 500,000 COPIES FIRST WEEK. OTHER TOP CLASS RAPPERS ARE DOING THAT IN RECENT TIMES
And what is 50 selling now? Dude had the biggest drop off of all time, but ya stans are still mad over a three year old “beef”.
I don’t know but someone help me out here…My question is: How can a rapper have a group or label under him when he himself cannot go platinum? Why the hell does this lame fat pig call himself the bawse? lol..Just asking.
SO 50 HAVING A GOLD ALBUM IS A FLOP? SO YOU MUST HOLD 50 TO HIGH STANDARDS
Yeah, because he sold millions of records back in the day and was in a whole nother stratosphere than Ross will ever touch, but in this climate, he’s performing even weaker than Ross, which says more about 50 than it does about Ross.
first of all this album is garbage. young jeezy tm103 sold 233000 its first week and was number one on the charts.. second this was his first album that sold the least its first week. RICK ROSS AINT GOT SHIT ON JEEZY, ROSS HASENT EVEN WENT PLATNIUM THE MOST HES DONE IS 800,000 N THAT WAS PORT OF MIAMI. ALL THREEE OF JEEZYS ALBUMS HAVE WENT PLATNIUM AND HIS FORTH TM103 IS AT 630000 UNITS N STILL MOVIN SO IDK WHERE FUCKERS COME OFF SAYING ROSS IS BETTER JEEZY IN ALBUM SALES HOLLLLA AT YA BOY
SO THT MEANS JEEZY IS BETTER MC THAN ROSS??
Jeezy has always been a better MC than Ross. Ross is weak.
funny how ross talked shit bout jeezy gettin pushed bak n is gunna end up sellin less lma000 nigga will neva see a platnum album n i gurentee meek mill sells more too
Haters should wait til they see the numbers of when they start to push “Diced Pineapples” as a single.
Yeah. Then they will laugh.
To lie to themselves. Ross been ethering yall niggas souls.
Nigga please. The only thing Ross ethers is a box of Krispy Kreme donuts.
LOL
^LOL
ROSS
TM 103 IS THE FIRST ALBUM JEEZY RELEASED SINCE THE HUGE DECLINE IN ALBUM SALES N LETS BE REAL IT WAS A FUCKING HORRIBLE ALBUM..ITS ONLY GONNA GO DOWNHILL FOR JEEZY FROM NOW ON
Dumbass Ross stan.
yea n jeezy is gunna outsell him das kinda sad after all da shit ross talked bout gettin pushed bak lol
THIS is how you know Ross is a wack ass rapper….he’s supposedly one of the top 3 most POPULAR rappers right now and he’s only selling 40,000 more than Nas who has been out of the spotlight for years? What happened to the good mainstream rappers why all these niggas wack?
Out of the spotlight? Where you living? I could go to RANDOM Hip Hop sites and there was articles about Nas all over them. So stop that “If”-bullhitt. He outsold Nas by far, point blank period.
Nas outsells Ross by total sales of their entire discographies.
That’s true, but Nas has 10 solo albums, came out way before Ross and we were only talking about their recent offerings.
However the sales go,
Life Is Good>>>>>>>>GFID
I agree.
Nas is a secure GOAT contender, so who in the fuck would ever try to argue about these two?
Nas the GOAT btw
HEY, IDIOTS. THESE ARE JUST PREDICTIONS, NOT ENTIRE ALBUM SALES. THERE’S A CHANCE ROSS’LL DO LESS THAN 200K. WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND YOU CAN START CELEBRATING/COMPLAINING/DICKRIDING.
PEACE OUT.
RICK ROSS IS A FRAUD
THIS GUY NEVER MAKES A FUCKING SONG BY HIMSELF!!1
EVERY SONG HE IS BEING CARRIED THOUGH, he is trying to establish his presence by creating a fake persona, 3 kings? and he puts himself with dre and jayz….do you think how bad this guy is a fraud…he is trying to be considered for singles by never putting out ONE song by HIMSELF…..HE NEVER DOES…its so funny lol
Let the stan wars begin, damn yall some pathetic assholes talking down/praising another man’s accomplishments.
However the cookie crumbles, Ross won’t get a platinum album.
Let me put it like this for you retards because apparently you guys are so obsessed with the idea of going “platinum” that you’ve totally forgot how to do simple math. It’s called consistency any intelligent business man would tell you that they’d rather sell 500K units for a consecutive six years in a row, instead of selling a million units once every 2-4 years. This excludes compilations, projects from other artist , ring tones, Mix tape Singles, merchandising and Touring revenues all under the MMG Brand. These recent sales projections prove Ross is here to stay for at least another year so get over it haters and learn how to count. PLATINUM MY ASS Ross makes sure Def Jam is getting their money much faster than most artist in music period, while his peers give you one good album every 2-4 years with that being said of course he’s the Hottest MC LOL
Postedjust now
Retard.
He just sonned you and your dumb ass one-liners.
Only in your dreams.
Wow. Rap is laughable. So, the “hottest rapper” out there and the supposed GOAT outdoing themselves with wack ass numbers? LMAO.
who said ross was the goat?

More Ross stans making excuses for their failure of an idol.
The exact same shit you were doing for Nas one week ago. LOL.
Nobody was doing that shit with Nas.
You was exusing his ass for every L.
No I wasn’t. You’re doing that shit with Ross.
This is the same guy that MTV voted as the hottest MC in the game? lol. MMG (Might Make Gold). lol. Damn. Nicki flopped. Now Ross. Meek Mills album will flop. lol. What kind of “boss” doesnt have a platinum plaque? lol. Damn. You fans have a lot of explaining to do. lol. Your idols are failing you.
most of these rappers aint real niggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper. None of these niggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Ross is the new biggie.
BAWSE!!!
Good joke, stan.
the only thing ross and biggie have in common is that they are fat. other then that ross dont deserve to be in the same conversation with biggie.
Why would we need a new Biggie when he ain’t nowhere near up to scratch on so many levels. Nas did A BIT of drug-running to fund his career in about 90, 91 more proof of that exists than Ricky being a dealer, where’s your proof Jeezy ain’t no BMF and proof of 50 being a snitch? Just because Game was a stripper don’t mean he wasnt no Gangsta I think the argument of him having 5 bullets in him in a bad drug deal is stronger than him being a stripper.
AND WEEZY AIN’T NO BLOOD! WE ALL KNOW THAT.
” Homicide stay on my mind, Christopher Wallace of my time
R.I.P. to the legend, 2Pac Shakur with a nine
Makaveli returns — it’s God forgives, and I don’t”
no doubt ricky is the new biggie
LOL, you’re joking, right?
the album is wack..
Here is food for thought.
Sales means that society was interested enough to spend some disposable income on the album. It was worth “looking” into. I bet a lot of you guys have bought an album just to realize, “oh wait, why did i buy this? i guess i’ll just jam the good songs I like.” I’m not an expert, but i’m sure a behavioral economist can explain this better.
Being good is subjective. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Simple as that. I’m not much of Ross fan, but I appreciate the “oof” he does every once in a while. For me, I look at the quality of an album just how I judge a book’s quality. If I can’t finish it from beginning to end, then I lost interest somewhere. Example, Carter III, can’t do it. However, Muddy Waters, easily, 3 times in a row if need be.
You guys talking rap politics here, saying this guy is the best, this other guy is the best. Does that even make sense? Instead of hating left and right, it may be a nice change to just spread the word of DIFFERENT (not better or worse) music.
Anyways, that was just some food for thought. And please don’t attack my post, I just don’t like violence or hate.
Fuck you. You’re a faggot. Nobody likes you. I hope you die.
So MTV’s hottest rapper, Rick Ross with all this promotion is on pace to do roughly the same numbers as Jeezy’s TM 103?? Jeezy’s career was supposed to be dead and his last album didn’t get half the promo GFID has gotten. Looks good for Jeezy and kinda lame for Ross for all the shit he was talking.
Looks like he’s finally arrived.
“3 most POPULAR rappers right now and he’s only selling 40,000 more than Nas who has been out of the spotlight for years”
Can’t anybody just give the dude credit for a #1 debut with surprisingly solid numbers instead of comparing and criticizing?
Welcome to haters, enjoy your stay.
Nah, these hypocrites suck off popular consensus when their favorite rapper profits off it, but let him be topped, it’s “fuck this shit”. LMAO.
The haters don’t congratulate wack music.
“IS GOLD GOOD ENOUGH FOR ROSS”
Apparently it was good enough for Jeezy.
man even the white boy here gave his own opinion and I can say he is fair “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTTmj5V5h_M” check out then u will understand why this Boss can’t touch a Gold plaque .lol
needledrop
Rick Ross reminds me of Yajirobe…
he was ok in Dragonball
helped beat Vegeta in DBZ also
Yamcha would have been better
Did anyone get that reference? No? It means he sucks.
Those numbers are very surprising. He should have never put gay Dr Dre and Joe Camel on the album. Us real Ross fans just wanted 90% him with maybe 2 features.
Word
I wish death to whoever buys this shit.
really cause I told your mom to buy it for you.
You’re just mad at me cause your sister got pregnant and said the baby is mine. But she’s lying, I used the condom. I can’t help it if she just goes straight to the whorehouse for sell some pussy. If she wants some hard dick on her, who am I to stop her??? Let her live.
^god damn you’re sad
200k is a major plus for Ross. Nicki did 200k also. I was thinking more 150k but we’ll c
Idk why most of you niggas act like biggie was a lyrical im a fan of biggie and most of his songs are no different from what rick ross and other maknstream artist talk about
its true but these kids dont get it… if you are smart you wont worry about rap cuz everyone is wrong and a hypocrite… including you and me.
I wished Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj were on the album instead of those losers who actually made the cut? Fat Usher the rapper on the Rebecca Black album are you serious? Lil Wayne is better than Tupac, Rakim and Biggie put together and he can skate and is a true blood. Nicki Minaj has the best lyrics like stupid hoe and beez in the trap even though her butt is fake. Rick Ross is sexy!
Swag!
Don’t you ever say that in the presence of the real. Seriously. Don’t you remember back in 2010 when the REAL bloods rode on Lil Wayne’s punk ass??? That shit can happen again at any time bitch
damn ross just keep winning this will be his highest selling first week to date and his best album even better than teflon don imo and if he drops that ice cold joint as a single he may go platinum that song is a problem!!!
He may go Platinum???? Clown, he don’t even go Gold! He can’t even go gold, wtf are you talkin about? This dude would NEVER go platinum, not even close. He’s wack as fuck.
niggas Maaaaaaaaaaaaad!!
okaaaaay yall dont peep the glitch….def jam released the “projections”…didnt it come out tuesday..no way to project…that is advertising and folls fall for it over again..by them saying 200k, or more, makes people wanna buy it…they do this time and time again….if 30,00 people actually by the album off of projection, they win..if people are blogging/talking/beffing over it, THEY win..this prob wont sell more than 80,000..not haing, real shit…dudes time is almost up and the trying to keep him afloat..same flow, same subject, same
thats some serious denial my nigga. HDD have about 99% success rate with projections. youre talking out of your ass
what a fucking idiot. the sales are usually even higher because they only base it on the first day, fuck your ignorant ass outta here.
200K IN MY 911, IN MY 911, IN MY 911 …
DOPE Album… if u like repetitive themes… for example…. track 8 “hold me back” and track 9 “911” is basically the same fuckin beat and music key and sound… its kinda like the album is 5 long songs that are all alike…
oh well… its ross so its ok right? fuck naw.
beats still ride tho… jus rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive rep-eti-tive …. and southern hi-hats.. that variate haaaaaaaa.
my nigga, ross always does that shit on the album……recycling beats is this niggas way of “saving” money
Ross’ music or content is not one bit more redundant than that of any other rapper. I don’t even like him, but the fucking double standards have to stop.
My nigga, it is.
@ancientGOD Na bro that’s what projections are for. They base the projections off of first day sales, and then they do the mathematics to figure out what the projected average of sales each day are. They do the same thing with movies, you usually get projected weekend box office numbers once the movie is released on friday.
Another “projections” thread where so many of you think that this news actually validates your life. Sad. I’m even willing to say that if this was a “post a tinypic of your copy” posting there would be less than 50 responses.
dafuq
the fuck?
……what?
the meaning of your comment was lost. try again nigga
damn, what was the purpose of your comment again? most random shit i’ve ever read.
ROSS NEVER WENT PLATINUM BUT HE GOT MORE MONEY NOW THAN PLATINUM RAPPERS INCLUDING JEEZY..WHO FROM C.T.E WILL EVER DROP A GOLD ALBUM? WALE DID AND MEEK IS GOING TO ROSS A REAL BOSS PUTTING ON NIGGAS N MAKING MONEY…JEEZY MAD WACK NOW B
Jeezy can’t be wack….Your still talking bout him…
My momma always said watch the man who makes claims with no proof. If you make a claim with no proof, you are proving yourself to be a big fat lie
this is his best album
in your dreams.
Congratulations on your biggest opening week Ross…I’m sure he’ll do over 200K easily, which is damn good in the industry now…hate if you want
wow never thought that def jam would spend so much money helping his sales
he has no billboard singles and still sells this
no hating just facts, his sales are a fraud just like him
Same here. I was like “Teflon Don had more billboard chartings than this garbage”! “Why are we buying these crappy records again”? “Oh”! “Cuz there’s no one else besides Jeezy to market and he sold great numbers without barely any promotion, ok I get it”. “Guess we’ll market this cop a little longer till he completely dries up and fades away”.
Lol! the last line made my day hilarious shit…
“Guess we’ll market this cop a little longer till he completely dries up and fades away”.
you got to be kidding me you can do those kinda of numbers aint you aint even real haha whats the purpose whoa why even bother to rap. haha
Hip hop fans, always thesame, albums sales become important when it is not your favourite artist, album sales is not important when your fav artist flops and when an artist exceed expectations thesame old, they inflated the numbers.
Face it, I think Ross has made a comfortable niche for himself, regardless of his ‘officer’ status. Another blackman has made it and put a few others in the spotlight, isn’t that something worth applauding for? Way I see it, keep doing your thing rossay, stack your money till it gets sky high.
Word. Duded is basically the living American Dream, when will black people start to accept and applaud another one’s success? Shit’s a fucking disgrace. But let’s rather praise someone who harmed other people and goes to jail, because he “kept it real”. SMH. Hip Hop fans are the worst, champion popular opinion when it favors their favorite rapper, but damn it as soon as it doesn’t. A week ago the same people who now say sales don’t mean shit were jerking off to Nas’.
Ross music is wack. I don’t congratulate wack rappers.
Don’t got it twisted, YOU think his music is wack, while it got a Metacritic of 75. Don’t try to pass your opinion off as a fact.
And Metacritic is nothing but opinions also. Regardless, Ross music sucks.
What argument that you can validate with evidence to say Rick Ross is fake? Ya’ll making claims he not real, what real are you wanting him to be. Ya’ll grew up with the homie or something?
Nah, dudes just looking for any straw they may find against, because they can’t say shit abous his music.
The nigga was a C.O. at Metro West. Just like Willie Williams’ mama, and Lt. Moss. Nigga is a motherfuccin’ pig.
One of my personal cats became a C.O. at the Main Jail, and he don’t even come around no more, cause he knows we’re active, and he don’t want to lose his job.
This nigga “Rick Ross” is an arch fraud, and probably an informant for the F.B.I. But you bitch ass niggas don’t care, cause 99% of y’all is lames.
“Rick Ross” is a fuck nigga who makes music for fuck ass nigga’s. That’s why he’s so popular. It’s so many of you fuck niggas around nowadays, it’s like a trend to be bitchmade!
Real niggas don’t vibe with pigs, period.
But his music sucks donkey balls…lyrics as bad as Birdman…
Well, go ahead and direct me to a Birdman verse than can fuck with Ross’ performance on FreeMason. Most of you just mad because you can’t get into his music and most of the real niggas (all the convincted felons) are listening to Ross.
Nothing you said is true. Ross music is wack and only hipsters listen to him. His FreeMason verse was wack and most real niggas listen to Young Jeezy.
sorry homie the real niggas listen to jeezy
Going platinum means dog shit. Kanye las album Dark Twisted wasn’t that nice, but it sold well. Em can say absolutely nothing ans sell 2 mill. Ross steady get better with time, regardless of a platinum plaque, he get money, singles go platinum, he doing shows worldwide..I mean in all that, a nigga gone have something negative to say. If you don’t like the nigga, dont listen
Dark Twisted wasn’t that nice? That album’s a masterpiece.
And going platinum DOES mean shit, especially in this climate, where maybe 2 or 3 hip-hop albums go plat a year. Up til the mid 2000s everyone and their mother went platinum, now it aint so easy.
Not that going platinum means you’re dope, but its nothing to sneeze at.
niggas only say platinum dont mean shit when its a rapper they dont support. but as soon as a nigga they dickride does decent numbers it suddenly becomes a bragging right. niggas always frontin like numbers and popularity dnt mean shit when deep down its all they ever wanted,
and lol @ Dark twisted fantasy wasnt that nice. youre out of your god damn mind son.
Haha, EXACTLY!!! You don’t sell off your name alone anymore, look at 50.
what 50 got to do wit dis..dude got a album dat sold over 10 mil one sold over 5mil one that went double an yes feel off afterwards..all ross albums combined not even more than his second album sales forget the 10 mil on the first one 50 worth a few hunnit mil ross worth 25..get off fifty sacks he good
@ brandon…..ummmm he said he wasnt a cop and he later admitted after every reporter kept asking him….he grew up in a middle class home his parents had good jobs and ross had a football scholarship….that is the complete oppisite of what ross says in his music….lol
Exactly, in his MUSIC. LMAO. Single raised motherfuckers still searching idols.
the man was 19 years old at the time and worked for a year or so! Ross is 33 yrs old now . get over it. people act like cops cant make gangster moves. they have the insise track to the streets. how many dirty cops are on the streets? he lied, so you telling me all these gangster rappers are telling the truth about what they did on their records. people lie my nigga!
Ross Is 36 Years Old
Oh, wow. Didn’t you know that it is absolutely impossible for cops to engange in criminal activity?
lol…wasnt ross the one that said he would push jezzy back instead jeezy gets released and sells more than him….lol….ross actually thinks people are interested in his music,,,lol…its not you ross its the person you stand next to wayne ,jay,kanye,drake,etc….lol
this album is trash
Metacritic = 80.
B.I.S.D sold 110k
Funny cuz according to the whole hip hop world it sold 160k. Still higher than its competition DTP.
Before I Self Destruct.
The story goes like this: The album was released exclusively to iTunes on November 9th after it leaked pre-maturely on the internet. Since then, it has held on to the No.1 spot on the overall album chart on the site. But SoundScan/Billboard has decided not to chart the digital sales alone of the album in their issue on November 17th. Instead, it will combine 2 weeks of digital download sales plus a week of physical CD sales and chart it on their November 24th issue.
The only way he meets those numbers is if he cops the albums himself. Just like on WSHH where he inflates the view counts to look like relevant, FOHWTBS, his fifteen minutes almost up.
People have been saying this after every Ross album, but he stays shitting on yall. Off yourself, cause I know you can’t take the fact that dude is getting nowhere.
The only thing Ross shits on is a giant toilet after eating chicken wings.
I know you want to be in place of the toilet, but what does that have do with his music?
By yall predictions, he his career should’ve been over for years, so yes, he basically shitted on all ya.
Again, The only thing Ross shits on is a giant toilet after eating chicken wings. Dude sucks and is overrated.
Rich forever? How many big fat old men do you see walking around? Ross gonna be rich for about 10 more happy meals.. then its game over.
Wait, since when did this section turn into a bunch of f*ggot elitists who can’t handle when people have an opinion differing from theirs in regards to a musician? Did I miss where subjectivity was officially declared a dead concept? I mean hell, you even have a moron who says that he doesn’t even LISTEN to Rick Ross, but knows he’s bad, because, hey, he must be because he’s mainstream. I personally don’t enjoy Rick Ross’ rapping, but this is f*cking ridiculous.
^^ Wisest comment I’ve EVER read on this site. His album got a rating of 80 on Metacritic, but hey, he’s fat and successful. What do you expect from these self-hating fucks?
Ross album is garbage.
Damn, thanks for this insightful comment. How did you get to this level knowledge-posessing?
Another number one album. The boss keeps winnin, niggas keep hatin Rozay gettin them stacks.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop eating those Big Macs and start focusing on what your going to do with your leftover career after we buy those extra 100k copies for you.
i respect a hater more then a dick rider..hate is natural dick ridin isnt
Again, Ross, pick up that script, B.L.A.C.K., read it and produce it. I’m telling you, that is the way to go. Music is okay, but that movie is a franchise that will put a billion in ya pockets! Read the script now.
That’s good for a hot rapper out but this guy is meant to be the biggest and best thing out there was so much hype around the album so many videos and singles and cosigns he has half the industry including Elliott Wilson and RR on twitter everyday and all the promo included when you think about it it’s not very good
Before I Self Destruct sold 110k in first week sales!!!!

At least 10 copies were in every store I went to and they even added that garbage ass film, not even that could help the sales.
After being delayed over a year Young Jeezy finally was able to release, Thug Motivation 103, last week. The album debuts at number three, selling 233,000 records. His last album, The Recession, debuted at 260k.

50 fell off!!!
Good question which is better? Nas’s life is good or Ross’s, God forgives and I don’t. Please DON”T LOOK AT SELLS WE KNOW THEY CAN BE FLAWED ( Company’s buying units To make it’s projected sells in first week, Or free or pirated downloads). Just Album to Album which one is the better album start to finish
Life Is Good, no question about it. GFID is one of the worst albums of the year with weak lyrics about the same thing; money, drugs, and bitches.
God Forgives, I don’t, no question about it. LIG is one of the worst albums of the year with weak lyrics about the same thing; money, drugs, and bitches.
I see what you did, steal my comment and reverse it. You obviously have shitty taste in music.
When y’all gonna respect me?!?!?
Fuck you, nigga. How about never?
…fuckin’ correctional officer
Once you put the mic down and get out of this earth, I swear to God I’ll be your number one fan.
People putting in mad work to discredit you shows that they fear and respect you.
Anonymous number two, shut your gay ass up. You fruitcake.
I like Rick Ross’ music very much, but I have to say that, this is his worst album and possibly one of the worst Rap albums ever made. The only good song on the album “God Forgives I don’t” is the one featuring Andre300 “Sixteen” but unfortunately, it is too damn long. This album is a big failure. If anyone has been listening to Rap Music as long as I have, dating back all the way to 1985, knows very well, this album is not even worth downloading for free. The lyrics are okay but the beats are just awful. Love you Ross, I hope you come out with a mix tape to make up for this one homie.
Co-sign, but you were probably born in 1992
“I like Rick Ross’ music very much, BUT”
These are usually the comments with the most baseless hate.
iv listened to GFID,and have to say its a classic(something we can still relate to in 20years time) more like kanye west my twisted dark fantasy and deeper than rap.
“this is his worst album and possibly one of the worst Rap albums ever made”
That’s nothing but pure hate. If you were truly a rap fan, you would be able to recognize GFID for what it was. It’s not a great album by any stretch, but to say 1 track out of 17 was any good makes you look bad. I’m talking Jesse Jackson bad.
You make me sick. How dare you to say the album is not wack?!?!
Is THIS the nigga y’all love?!?!?!
http://cdnl.complex.com/assets/CHANNEL_IMAGES/MUSIC/2012/07/content/excited_whsvk.gif
Like a comment i was reading earlier, this world is filled with a bunch of bitch ass mothafuckas. Rick Ross is a bitch ass mothafucka and so are all the people who buy his albums. Who would buy music from such a fake ass, untalented muthafucka?? Obviously you fuckin fake clowns. You people make me sick. Even if he was real or not, he’s still a wack ass rapper!! Fuck all you lames who support this fat piece of shit!
go fuck yourself nigga can u rap any better then him dick shit…
This album is just SICK!!! I feel sorry for those who dont recognize good music and talen!! Amsterdam loves the Ross!! Keep up the good work!!
Dry snitchin ass cooperate thug frm a town of 8000 < Correctional officer working & robbing the system for his people and uplifting niggas... Damn y'all gullible!
Jeezy jus went gold in mid march not February like he claimed. NO LIE… To this date 600,000 total. Ross almost half way there, 2 weeks. Who’s showing growth and who is on the decline. Those 400,000 fans went to Ross that jeezy lost. Bawse shit! Go back to trappin you false flaggin ass nigga. You need a new gimmick. Find yoself, go talk to uncle snoop or sum.
First Week: 215,015 according to HitsDailyDouble…but haters gone hate anyway
