Following its release just over a week ago on March 18, YG’s My Krazy Life debut rose to the #2 spot this week on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Lower on the list, Pharrell Williams and Rick Ross both experienced single digit rankings drops from fifth and third to #6 and #7, respectively, for their albums G I R L and Mastermind. After making his Top 200 debut last week at #4, Aloe Blacc’s Lift Your Spirit album dropped down to #19, a couple spots above John Legend’s Love In The Future, which has remained on the charts for just shy of 30 weeks. Meanwhile, ScHoolboy Q’s fourth week on the list finds him dropping from #15 last week to #29 with his Oxymoron album.
YG’s My Krazy Life Debuts At #2
Selling just over 60,000 units in its first week on shelves, YG’s My Krazy Life displaced Pharrell Williams at the #2 spot. The Def Jam debut, which features production from DJ Mustard and a feature from Kendrick Lamar, is YG’s first time on the charts. Earlier this week, the rapper talked about the release in an interview with Hot 97, saying “it’s easy to make a classic album.” “Yeah, it just take time,” YG said. “I feel like if you give a nigga stories and all that on your album and it’s really like—no matter if it blow. Like Jay Z first album’s a classic, but it didn’t sell a lot…If you giving stories and it’s realistic like people feel it. And like ‘He ain’t lying.’ That’s a classic.”
While on the show, YG also credited Jeezy for giving him artistic freedom on the album. “As far as the music, he let me do my thing,” YG said. “You feel me? Like he come in. He give me advice. But when I link up with him it was never a problem with the music…Just making the right moves and connecting with the right person. Cause I was on the West Coast. It was hard. It was hard for me on this side and the South. But then when I link up with Jeezy we start working. We did the mixtape, the ‘My Nigga’ record. Shit started clicking. And then he was at the label. Doing his stuff and going hard for me.”
Pharrell Williams’ G I R L Falls To #6 & Rick Ross’ Mastermind Drops To #7
During its third week on the charts, Pharrell Williams’ second studio album, G I R L, sold just shy of 35,000 units, a nearly 25 percent drop from last week, and fell one spot to #6. To date, Williams has sold 192,000 copies of the record, which received a 3.5 out of a possible 5 in HipHopDX’s recent review. “While G I R L is too surface-level at times, it hits the target it’s aimed for,” DX wrote. “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.”
Directly beneath the “Happy” star, Rick Ross sold 27,000 copies of his Mastermind album, pushing him over the quarter-million sales mark after three weeks on the list. Ross, who sold nearly 50,000 albums last week, debuted at #1 on the charts for the fifth time in his career with Mastermind. His 2010 release, Teflon Don, is his only major-label release to not reach the top spot on the charts.
Aloe Blacc’s Lift Your Spirit Lands At #19 & Eminem’s Marshall Mathers LP 2 At #27
Experiencing a double-digits ranking drop from last week, Emanon emcee Aloe Blacc’s Lift Your Spirit fell from the fourth spot to #19 in its second week on the chart. Blacc’s Lift Your Spirit sold a little less than 15,000 copies this week, a 67 percent drop from last week’s numbers, and has now totaled over 60,000 albums sold.
Eminem, who passed the 2 million albums sold mark last week for his Marshall Mathers LP sequel, sold nearly 13,000 copies of MMLP2 this week, earning him his twentieth week on the charts for this particular album. Elsewhere, Em’s Eminem Show clocked enough sales, with 3,226 sold this week, to crack into the Top 200 at #116.
ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron At #29 & Young Money’s Rise Of An Empire Drops To #36
After debuting as the most streamed album of the year on Spotify earlier this month, ScHoolboy Q’s major label debut, Oxymoron, fell from the #15 spot last week to #29 this week. Having sold 12,224 copies of the record this week, Q’s total numbers inched closer to the 200,000 mark. ScHoolboy Q’s Oxymoron album received a 3.5 out of 5 in its recent HipHopDX review. “In many ways, Oxymoron delivers exactly as advertised,” HipHopDX says in its album review. “It’s an ominous project that also needs a few radio reaches to provide ScHoolboy Q a platform to achieve mainstream success.”
At the same time, the Young Money compilation Rise Of An Empire fell nearly 30 spots from its debut at #7 to its current standing at #36. The album, which experienced a 66 percent drop in sales in that time period, sold 10,569 copies this week after selling 31,490 copies in its first week.
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Enter The Charts At #39 With Pinata
With 9,299 albums sold in its first week on shelves, Freddie Gibbs and Madlib debuted on the charts at #39 this week with their album Pinata. The album, which received HipHopDX’s highest rating of the year thus far with a 4.5 out of 5, was released on the producer’s Madlib Invazion label and features artists like Scarface, Raekwon and Danny Brown. “As Gangster Rap, Piñata is free of conceptual pretense; it’s a slice more than a thesis,” HipHopDX wrote. “It’s also a new benchmark for Gibbs and may end up as a career calling card. If nothing else, it quickly sounds like one of the year’s best.”

Which Album is the Most Fun to Listen To?
RELATED: Last Week’s Sales
Yall know the reason Curtis left Interscope is so he can buy his own album to generate buzz. He wanted interscope to buy 500k copies of his last album but Interscope dont row that way. His single with Eminem….Yes with EMINEM->MR BILLBOARD and Adam…a Pop single at that couldnt sell well. So now with his current deal he can buy his album to save face.
couldn’t he have bought his own albums or singles to save face before if he really cared that much?
what does this week sales chart has to do with 50 cent, or interscope records?
These geeks got Curtis Jackson on their mind 24/7.
Nah… It’s the Correctional Officer Willie Roberts fans that always speak on Fiddy
Sounds like a Ross fan is scared 50 might move some units and is already laying out the hate campaign for when it happens.
YG ALBUM should of went platinum!!! He is the true westcost king not Kendrick
for sure
He deserves to go copper.
YG SOLD MORE THAN FRENCH MONTANA, TYGA AND ACE HOOD! PRAISE THE LAWD
Ace Hood is way better than YG. Fuck numbers.
And so it begins, Pharrell will not slowly outsell Rick Ross more and more every week and 3 weeks from not Rozay will likely be off the charts for good.
Both will still be multi millionaires though.
Yet one will have multi platinum singles and still be selling come summertime.
Pharrell is a rich man you know. He buys copies of his album to make his sales look good.
Also, most of pharrell’s hits are not his songs, except for frontin (thanks to gay Z) and Happy (thanks to appealing to the gays.
“Pharrell is a rich man you know. He buys copies of his album to make his sales look good. ”
so why didn’t he have the number 1 album?
“Also, most of pharrell’s hits are not his songs, except for frontin (thanks to gay Z) and Happy (thanks to appealing to the gays.”
You mean like how Ross hasn’t had a hit of his own in years? He needs Jay-Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, French, Ace Hood, Future, etc to put him on their hits.
My nigga Kendrick finally sold more than Macklemore again!
Macklemore still has more sales.
Ross definitely not going gold anytime this year.
LOL SHIT as much as I can’t stand officer Rick Ross fat happy meal ass I’ll have to disagree with u this time cause gold is what Rick normally sales and this is usually the pace of weekly sales it takes him to reach 500,000 like his last album so i expect he’ll reach gold in about 2 to 3 months from now at the most but who cares RIGHT Rick Ross SUCKS!!!!
he sold like 40k more of GFID last time and topped out around 550k so its gonna be a struggle
That’s what people said five albums ago and here he is today still succeeding.
No, he ain’t.
Don’t sleep on Freddie Gibbs & Madlib, good ass music!
@BruthaDee and Willie Roberts ain’t shit
Legend says if you say “Rick Ross is a cop” in front of the mirror 3 times in the dark Bruthadee will appear and take a selfie with you then slit your throat with his long ass female looking fingernails!
I thought it was saying bruthadee 3 times in the vein of beetlejuice.
I’ve heard both work, always been too scared to try it though. Maybe next time I have a sleepover with my white skinned buds.
“I thought it was saying bruthadee 3 times in the vein of beetlejuice.”
naw its in the vein of bloody mary or candy man
Will Willie Roberts’ Mastermind go gold this year?
Stay tuned…………
i cant see it happening unless he got killed or something 2pac style.
Good to see people buy Q, Gibbs and Kevin Gates (it was a mixtape tho?) Rest is just some pop music & bullshit.
Looks like ross is on his way to another gold album and it’s well deserved the album is fire and the best of the year hands down
this is not going to SELL 500k anytime soon. its all downhill from here on out, 2 weeks from now he will be selling 5k or less.
He’ll still go gold thanks to shipments. Yeezus sold nowhere near a million yet is platinum. In fact, if ross wanted to account for shipments, his first album would be platinum.
Meanwhile 370k copies of Yeezus are still sitting on shelves collecting dust.
For you Talking trash about Yeezus That album is sitting at 727,000 just in the States alone. In Canada its sold 200,000 across the country so he is actually pretty damn close to platinum and will hit it by the time his next album comes out haters.
no he wont,
Sorry to break it to ya but Yeezus is really sitting at 651k
Mastermind sucks. It’s one of the worst albums of the year.
50 Cent is going to do at least 300,000 in his first week.
NOT
No he won’t, lol, dream on. go ride your brothers dick nigga
What year do you think this is?
Gibbs and Madlib should have sold more than that. Rap games fucked up when a cop can sell 250k in 3 weeks but Gibbs and Madlib only moved 10k first week.
U mad Fiddy stan? A cross dresser can sell more than Tupac but Black folks ain’t crying.
a Rozay stan caught feelings LOL
Jhene Aiko sold more than French Montana! LOL think about that.
She didn’t even sell as much as french montana 1st week yet is now almost double his sales.
She sold more than DJ Khaled’s Suffering from Lack of Success first week.
What kind of weird dude is celebrating a singer chick selling more than a rapper? I guess French little beef with 50 has the weirdos against him.
but fiddy is washed up and has no friends or fans, how could he hurt french montana’s album sales when hes signed to diddy and rick ross?
MASTERFLOP LOOOOOOOL
I think you mean Animal Ambition. That shit’s gonna flop harder than Excuse my French.
Wrong, bitch. He’s talking about Masterflop. AA will sell more than that album and Excuse My Flop.
” so why didn’t he have the number 1 album?”
He wanted to be fair at first but when Rozay won and Pharrell lost, Pharrell got desperate and started snatching up copies.
thats makes perfect sense if you’re a rick ross groupie.
Says the hater accusing ross of buying copies. Quit hating on ross. He’s a hardworking man and is too busy to deal with haters.
Says the Ross dickrider accusing Pharrell of buying copies. Quit hating on Pharrell and quit dickriding Ross. Ross doesn’t care about you.
Yall niggas need to buy that Freddie Gibbs album, shit’s a classic.
Oh yeah fuck the lupesection from kanyetothe fucking bitches.
” You mean like how Ross hasn’t had a hit of his own in years? He needs Jay-Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, French, Ace Hood, Future, etc to put him on their hits.”
Ross has more hits than pharrell. Ross has Everyday Im shuffling, The Boss, Aston Martin Music, Devil Is A lie, and UEONEO.
Pharrell is a producer before an artist so he gives half of hits away.
Note we’re talking artists here. In terms of producing, mike will, dj mustard, dj khaled, JUSTICE league all have more hits they produced than pharrell.
i think you need to do some research
Pharrell sucks shit as a producer and singer. Happy may be a fun song to sing if you are either a 6 year old or gay. When it comes to GOAT production, mike will, dj mustard, dj khaled, and justic eleague all have bigger hits and better singles they produced than the black neptune.
name 1 hit Dj khaled has produced
I’m on one, No new Friends, Take it to the head.
LMAO, Pharell just got nominated for 4 Grammys and has 4x as many hits as Ross has and has been around twice as long as Ross has.
Its so fuckin funny how that 50 Cents troll is comparing the singing albums to the rapping albums
“When it comes to GOAT production, mike will, dj mustard, dj khaled, and justic eleague all have bigger hits and better singles they produced than the black neptune.”
You obviously don’t know music. Pharrell has produced more bigger and better hit singles than weak ass Mike Will, Mustard, Khaled, and Justice League (also, Khaled doesn’t even produce).
“Pharrell sucks shit as a producer and singer. Happy may be a fun song to sing if you are either a 6 year old or gay.”
Wrong.
Pharrell singles were pop though while the other producers are hiphop. Mike Will brought white female rap into mainstream, DJ Mustard brought infectious beats with rack city, my nigga, and more, DJ Khaled does indeed produce and is a legendary dj, and JUSTICE League are some to class producers better than grandmaster flash.
“I’m on one, No new Friends, Take it to the head.”
i dont have time to check but im positive all those songs were produced by other producers
“Pharrell singles were pop though while the other producers are hiphop. Mike Will brought white female rap into mainstream, DJ Mustard brought infectious beats with rack city, my nigga, and more, DJ Khaled does indeed produce and is a legendary dj, and JUSTICE League are some to class producers better than grandmaster flash.”
You’re wrong about everything again. Pharrell is a multi-genre producer, working with hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock, etc. The other producers are also pop. Mike Will didn’t bring any white girl rap into the mainstream, Mustard brought the same, shitty, annoying, simplistic beats with all of those terrible songs he produced, Khaled doesn’t produce, and Justice League aren’t better than the OG Grandmaster Flash. Kill yourself.
Sales are horrible,YG has a platinum single, I thought he would do Schoolboy numbers since he has the CTE cosign, the Drake feature and the marketability as a genuine young criminal.
Pharrel cares none about domestic sales, his Pop album is on the charts in 70 countries and he has a
Multi-platinum pop single with Happy.
Rozay will go Gold again, he’s on his usual pace and has the Thug Cry video in the vault and a possible visual for In Vein that will keep him bubbling.
Young Money didn’t even promote their compilation so no surprise there, Its a shame that the Self Made series does better than these YMCMB compilations when YMCMB have the biggest artists in rap.
Gibbs and Lib dropped one of the best albums of the year but outside HipHop circles nobody knows or cares, the production and lyrics on Piata are Grade A+.
Wrong.
I see a bunch of 50 groupies coming in here and trying to find ways to look rozay’s performance look bad. It’s like get the fuck outta here.
you dont gotta be a 50 groupie to see Ross is under performing.
Why he sell over 100k less than J cole?
J COle is a pop rap crossover artist.
The 50 groupies make themselves look desperate and I love it.
Mastermind is selling at the exact pace that we expected it to without a Top 200 single or a Pop feature, a street LP doing 250K in 3 weeks and remaining in the Top 10 is a win.
The Hate groups should just stay in the past and brag about how Eminem sold more than Ross or how Pharell and YG have platinum singles, LOL, their desperation makes seeing a brother succed so much more sweet!
No, J Cole is a hip-hop artist.
No, Ross is the hiphop artist while J Cole is a pop artist. Damn, these 50 groupies are now supporting J Cole just because he put 50 on his album.
50 fans are gay as shit just look at their homo comments about buttcracks and manboobs, now they want to Dickride J.Cole because he is the only rapper with a plaque that put 50 on their album.
The irony is that Jimmy Iovine gave J. Cole a home for his own vanity label on Interscope the same month they fired Curtis….props to J Cole on the major label love.
“No, Ross is the hiphop artist while J Cole is a pop artist. Damn, these 50 groupies are now supporting J Cole just because he put 50 on his album.”
No, you idiot. Both Cole and Ross are hip-hop artists.
Look at all of these Ross stans trying so hard to defend their hero who flopped. They always bring up 50 Cent when the convo’s not even about 50. Ross stans are more obsessed with 50 Cent than actual 50 Cent stans.
Pitbull is more hiphop than fag cole.
Pitbull makes shitty EDM pop music, not hip-hop. Cole makes hip-hop music.
If pitbull is shit, why does he have a no. 1 single again with timber?
The 50 Stans are bringing up J Cole now? I thought they were riding with Mac Miller and Macklimore?
Because mainstream audiences have shit music tastes and love shitty pop music.
“The 50 Stans are bringing up J Cole now? I thought they were riding with Mac Miller and Macklimore?”
Only Ross stans call other people that don’t agree with them 50 stans.
Damn it sucks Pinata couldn’t break 10k.. I know a lot of people including myself went to Bestbuy to get the album and it wasn’t even there. 9.5 is still good tho
Should have pre ordered it from bestbuy.com like me
I guess Ross will never go Platnium. Be sure to checkout thegrandreport, they have some good hip hop and viral videos on there
And I guess you’ll never get laid.
The irony.
“Why he sell over 100k less than J cole?”
Why despite having Jay Z as your boss can Cole not go platinum?
Co-signs does not always mean big sales.
he didnt have jay-z on his album, Ross did,
He had a white girl on his album so he got plenty of sales from that side but if 99% of artists don’t even go Gold why are the geeks still talking about platinum?
A white girl that NO ONE has ever heard of. Cole’s biggest hits on Born Sinner have Miguel and TLC on it.
you cant compare a white girl, miguel and tlc to Kanye west, jay-z, jeezy, lil wayne, the weeknd diddy, french montana, sizzla, scarface, z-ro, and meek mill
“She sold more than DJ Khaled’s Suffering from Lack of Success first week”
Does she have platinum or gold singles? A net worth of over $20 million? 7 albums? Extensive industry connects? Her own elevator? This multiple choice game is fun.
Khaled has none of those, either.
khaled aint worth anywhere close to 20 million, just stop embarrassing him and yourself with such claims
You know damn well DJ Khaled has all of those. Quit hating on a guy that doesn’t give a shit about you.
He doesn’t.
He has 7 albums and platinum singles.
Which all suck ass.
He still has 7 though.
Which sucked. Quality over quantity.
“this is not going to SELL 500k anytime soon. its all downhill from here on out, 2 weeks from now he will be selling 5k or less”
Usually I’d disagree, but all his singles are underperforming. The only advantage he has is there are no major releases coming in April. Mastermind will hang around for awhile longer.
LOLOLOL, the 50 fanatics are J Cole junkies all of a sudden because J Cole put 50 on his album so that Interscope would give him a home for his own label.
I disagree that J Cole is a pop artist, he is just a young half-white kid who happens to be JayZs protege, he is highly marketable and highly skilled as a producer-rapper hybrid….a sweet light skinned kid who can put Amber Coffman on a single off his album and get crossover love.
Cole is solid but I think KRIT is equally talented and solid but lacks the image, push and Cosign to get the love he deserves.
Nobody even knows who Amber Coffman is.
Amber Coffman is a hipster chick who was feautured on the #1 Dance album in the US and feautured on a single that charted in the Top 40 in 6 Europeon countries.
I heard a hipster say “Nobody even knows who Z-Ro is” and I replied that in their world probably not but I bet you know Amber and Skyler just like we know Z-Ro and K-Rino.
Still doesn’t change the fact that no one has ever heard of Amber Coffman. Nobody can name one song from her.
Everybody knows who Amber is unless you live under a rock dude, GET FREE has over 15 million views on YouTube dude, have you been locked in prison for the last year?! You rap bums need to branch out.
Only people who listen to indie music knows who Amber Coffman is.
im white and never heard of Amber Coffman but it’s hilarious to see that 40 year old MMG groupie be researching white girls like that. so sad and pathetic go take some seflies in your hooptie old man.
i dont have time to check but im positive all those songs were produced by other producers
They were khaled’s hits though.
That had help from other artists.
They are labeled as khaled songs though.
Doesn’t change the fact that Khaled can’t make a hit by himself.
how are they his hits if someone else produced them and rapped over them? all he do is shout out we the best at the beginning
You’re wrong about everything again. Pharrell is a multi-genre producer, working with hip-hop, R&B, pop, rock, etc. The other producers are also pop. Mike Will didn’t bring any white girl rap into the mainstream, Mustard brought the same, shitty, annoying, simplistic beats with all of those terrible songs he produced, Khaled doesn’t produce, and Justice League aren’t better than the OG Grandmaster Flash. Kill yourself.
Feeling were obviously caught by this 50 groupie. Pharrell is pop only while the other are multigenre producers. Mike Will bought miley cyrus into the mainstream and broke out of her disney image, dj mustard makes great beats, dj khaled is an eecutive producer, ceo, ar, and dj, and JUSTICE League are hiphop heroes.
This Ross fan caught feelings. Pharrell is a multi-genre producer while those other producers are pop. Miley Cyrus was already in the mainstream and broke out of her Disney image before Mike Will came in, Mustard makes terrible beats that a 8 year old can make, Khaled doesn’t produce, and JL are NOT hip-hop heroes, they’re villains.
Pharrell is pop gay shit while the others are multigenre. Miley gained a new black audience usually unsupportive of white girl rap, Mike Will pays tribute to hiphop, dj mustard is classic yet you know its him, dj khaled is an executive producer. You’re right about Justice league being villians. They rule hiphop.
The 50 guy just wants a buddy to talk to, if you think Khalled does not produce then go to the BMI website and look at the 100+ songs that he gets publishing for as a producer.
Pharrell is mutli-genre. Miley has no black audience, Mike Will doesn’t pay tribute to hip-hop at all, Mustard is not classic, Khaled doesn’t produce, and JL doesn’t rule anything.
“The 50 guy just wants a buddy to talk to, if you think Khalled does not produce then go to the BMI website and look at the 100+ songs that he gets publishing for as a producer.”
This Ross fanboy really believes that everyone’s a 50 stan and that Khaled actually produces. LOL It’s common knowledge that Khaled doesn’t do any production, he has other producers doing the production.
It’s the other way around. He produces and lets others take credit.
I agree with the 50 Fanboy, Khaled doesent produce he just gets paid and credited for producing but he really just watches Television in the studio and reaps the benefits.
^I don’t even like 50 Cent, so cut that bullshit,
“It’s the other way around. He produces and lets others take credit.”
Keep making up delusional lies.
“Pharrell singles were pop though while the other producers are hiphop. Mike Will brought white female rap into mainstream, DJ Mustard brought infectious beats with rack city, my nigga, and more, DJ Khaled does indeed produce and is a legendary dj, and JUSTICE League are some to class producers better than grandmaster flash.”
WTF? Where did you get Grandmaster Flash from?
Mustard has the trendy sound of the moment but that didn’t help YG move major units like Schoolboy did, I like his production but I guess it’s more regional than I thought it was.
Mike Will is a genius even if people call him a sellout, all the best selling Hiphop albums the past couple years are by white artists or have white girls on them, even Yo Gotti, 2-Chainz and Juicy J have gone the white girl route and Kendrick and J Cole got plaques with their white girls.
A few artists have bucked this trend but they seem to get a lot of hate, Pharell said gimme them white girls and the fame that come wit it!
“Kendrick and J Cole got plaques with their white girls.”
Where are those plaques? The ones they got have no white girls on it.
GKMC = Gold/Platinum (Anna Wise)
Born Sinner = Gold (Amber Coffman)
No one has even heard of them, so they’re irrelevant to those albums’ success.
HipHoppers are not supposed to have heard of them, they are there to generate interest from white consumers who actually know who they are.
How naive of the child who thinks Kendrick and J Cole released singles with indie white girls just for the fun of it. The Hustle continues.
You really are dumb. Your arguments have a lot of holes in it.
1. The only people who knows who those chicks are are people who like indie music and that’s a very small circle. The mainstream doesn’t know who they are.
2. If Kendrick and Cole were trying to appeal to a “white” audience, why did they put some unknown indie chicks instead of someone like Justin Timberlake or Katy Perry?
3. Kendrick and Cole’s biggest singles have no white chicks on them.
I’m pretty sure most white people haven’t heard of those two either.
You got to be a dumb ass lil boy if you think having a video with 15 million views is a small circle, or being featured on a #1 Dance album in the US makes you unknown.
But that’s how fucking stupid these lil boys are and that’s why you have a marketing department at every major label that study “target demographics” and specialize in catering to specific demographics to cross over into other genres and get critical acclaim from critics for that alone.
Kendrick and Cole would be foolish to put an overt Pop collab like Timberlake or Cyrus on their album, that overt pop Panderin would turn the white critics off and the so called HipHop heads and Hipsters who are on an anti-pop crusade and championing all the Black Hippys of the world would be turned off too.
Idiotic dumb ass little boy can’t see why putting a white bitch on a HipHop single and a HipHop album might generate interest from white consumers more than a feature from Z-Ro and Sizzla.
Idiots forget about the fucking SOUND and how sounds cater to certain people more than others which is why the demographics at a Boosie concert look vastly different from the demographics at a Kenny Chesney concert, so if I want to appeal to white bitches and whites in general wouldn’t the smart fucking thing be to put a white person on my album/single for that sound??.???
Idiotic people watch sitcoms and movies where they have the token negro in the cast and then be so fucking stupid they don’t realize WHY, and then be so idiotic as to think that albums cant use that same fucking formula.
I’m going to ether your flawed arguments.
“You got to be a dumb ass lil boy if you think having a video with 15 million views is a small circle, or being featured on a #1 Dance album in the US makes you unknown.”
But does this chick have a hit song? Does she have any songs on the radio? No.
“Kendrick and Cole would be foolish to put an overt Pop collab like Timberlake or Cyrus on their album, that overt pop Panderin would turn the white critics off and the so called HipHop heads and Hipsters who are on an anti-pop crusade and championing all the Black Hippys of the world would be turned off too.”
This contradicts the comments you were making.
“Idiotic dumb ass little boy can’t see why putting a white bitch on a HipHop single and a HipHop album might generate interest from white consumers more than a feature from Z-Ro and Sizzla.”
More people know who Z-Ro and Sizzla is than that “white bitch.” If you’re trying to appeal to a white audience, then why put someone who no one in the mainstream knows?
“Idiots forget about the fucking SOUND and how sounds cater to certain people more than others which is why the demographics at a Boosie concert look vastly different from the demographics at a Kenny Chesney concert, so if I want to appeal to white bitches and whites in general wouldn’t the smart fucking thing be to put a white person on my album/single for that sound??.???”
And what exactly is this “sound?”
“Idiotic people watch sitcoms and movies where they have the token negro in the cast and then be so fucking stupid they don’t realize WHY, and then be so idiotic as to think that albums cant use that same fucking formula.”
The only idiotic person here is you amking up bullshit conspiracy theories.
“You got to be a dumb ass lil boy if you think having a video with 15 million views is a small circle, or being featured on a #1 Dance album in the US makes you unknown.”
What’s the name of this video that has all those views? What’s that #1 dance album you’re talking about? Seems like only you know about that because no one else is talking about it. There are others who have had millions of YouTube views or have been featured on #1 albums but people are still unfamiliar with them. Ask the average person who Amber Coffman is and there will be a great chance that they won’t know who she is.
i see a whole lotta words and talk of white people in defense of rick ross failures so i know that 40 year old negro with long fingernails known as bruthadee must be here but im not gonna read those essays.
EMINEM SHOW STILL PUSHING OVER 3K
Mastermind hit the charts in 10 countries and sold 260,000 in the U.S. selling copies for $10, $13 and $18. The singles sales for Sanctified, Devil is a Lie, and Thug Cry are total over 100,000 together.
The label is pleased with their worker and will add those millions to their coffers and put their whore back out on the hoe stroll next year.
Keep making up delusional lies, Ross fanboy.
The Bossman is still in that Top 10 moving more CDs than the niggas with Plat singles and Heidi Klum on their album cover. Bossman already recouped that Def Jam budget with the 250K and the international sales so you can expect a 7th album.
What Bossman? I don’t see a Bossman in the top 10.
50 about to shut the game down with animal ambition. I don’t want it to sell less than officer ricky’s mastermind. Or else, 50 stans like me will lose credibilitym trying to justify animal ambition when mastermind is better.
So you basically admitted to being a stan??? WOW…
You really are sad and got issues that needs addressing.
YEp. That’s definitely a fiddy stan.
Or maybe it’s dentalbitch pretending to be a 50 stan.
Why do people feed the trolls on this site?
Now these dayz you should be glad you sold 1 album. Cuz you can download the music for free on the internet. You gotta be a BIG time artist like Kendrick,Jay-Z, Drake, Lil Wayne, kayne, or Em. In order to go platinum.
While I do agree with you in a way, Kendrick managed to go platinum and before that album he wasn’t exactly known outside of the rap game, and he managed to pull it off. I just think its incredibly difficult these days for artists to get record sales that represent their work due to illegal downloading.
no gold this time for ross mmg is dead
300, 000 is gold these days.
That’s a lie
No, 500,000 is gold these days.
Just wait for the announcement of album #7.
You mean another weedplate.
Whats U talkin’ bout ? Broke nigga.
500k is Gold not 250k-300k… You fuck boys are trying to lower the bar in your heads to make him a success. LMFAO! You 2nd place trophy clowns kill me! It’s over for that fraud. “It’s only so long fake thugs could pretend”. LoL
50cent pilot #35 overall on I-tunes # 2 on the hiphop charts
I didn’t expect that single to be up there after 2 days, Don’t worry about it is better
In a week it’ll be gone.
No, it won’t.
No it won’t.. You mad though. LoL
jeezy won

Kendrick Lamar
Platinum been dead since (2006-2007) R.I.P, when 99% of artists cant even go Gold then why are these ignorant fools still talking about Platinum?
Most of these Platinum-Lovers are Soulja Boy fans and Young Money fans who take pride in their heroes breaking through to the pop side and selling a Millie.
so you can see the significance to the culture of kendrick going platinum
Macklemore went platinum too and Eminem went double platinum as you can see. So what does that tell you about Kendrick and its significance? hmmm.. White America has chosen their rappers
Kendrick went platinum and so did Soulja Boy and Nicki Minaj…what does that say about “platinum”?
White America is picky, Im not surprised they picked Mackerlinmore to go platinum or Kendrick.
You see, Kendrick is a safe negro that whites can relate to, hes slightly nerdy with an odd voice and weird haircut who shuns jewelry and rolexes and refers to himself as a Black Hippy, when you listen to GKMC you can hear Anna Wise and JMSN on the majority of the songs giving the album a underlying sound that whites love and adore with all their tender hearts.

All of this is a lie.
Naah they’re right
niggas still sad Rick Ross will never go plat so they pulling out all the excuses
Ross is more popular than Kendrick and was way more popular than macklemore until a year ago what the fuck is his excuse?
“T.I

LiL Wayne
Soulja Boy
Nicki Minaj

Kendrick Lamar”
one of these is not like the rest
soulja boy or macklemore? lol
Another Gold for Ross, of it stalls before Gold he will just take $250K and buy the left over copies to make you feel sad inside that he got another plaque.
You Mad?
English version please
I’m not mad… But you’re corny like Officer ricky if you buy the other 250k to say you went gold. That’s like buying twitter followers. You actually respect that fake shit? LMFAO
“Idiotic people watch sitcoms and movies where they have the token negro in the cast and then be so fucking stupid they don’t realize WHY, and then be so idiotic as to think that albums cant use that same fucking formula.”
Nothing wrong with putting token whites on a Rap album, it’s not called the music business for no reason, like it was stated earlier the critics love that stuff as well as the Grammy committee and of course fans want to feel like they are a part of the music so its smart to include them.
tde on fire
the difference between a mediocre album (oxymoron) vs. a solid album (mastermind).. the latter continues to sell weeks later.
if oxymoron was a better album the shit would be approaching gold.
ross has the bigger name at the moment but that album sucks
You got it backwards. Mastermind is the mediocre album while Oxymoron is the solid album. Sales doesn’t indicate quality at all.
Freddie gibbs has the best album out at the moment so no sales don’t mean shit ross is on a major with major backing and doing bad
Mastermind is just more solid musically thats why more people are feeling it, a lot of the beats on Oxymoron sounded weird but Mastermind can be played from front to back.
Wrong. Oxymoron has better music. Mastermind has all the same-sounding beats.
los awesome is worse than la familia by jay z. and thats track TWO! oxymoron was a huge disappointment, period. ross is whatever as a person but his music is solid, consistent, and cohesive.. if you cant see/hear that youre delusional.
You’re the only delusional one here. Q’s music is good while Ross’ music is wack.
@platinummasterp
You ever been browsing Netflix and see a corny movie like Hangover and they got a nigga like Tyson or Epps in it and you be like fuck it let me check this shit out just off the strength that they got a brother in it? I only started watching Boardwalk Empire because of Chalky White.
Never.
Well J Cole will never go platinum so ha ha ha ha ha ha na na na na! He may be rich and famous and have millions of dollars but he never sold a million copies of an album like the God Eminem.
or mah sexxy daddy Ricky Rozay.
ross been out since 2006 claims he is worth 25mill but he don’t move units how is this possible?
Touring, shows, publishing, royalties, endorsements, investments and stock in brands like Ciroc, Belaire, and Reebok, plus Real Estate and a chain of WingStop franchises.
remember that networth doesnt mean he has 25 million or anything close to it.
Pinata goes hard.
album of the year so far
Yet you bum ass clowns stole it instead of buying it. LoL… Numbers don’t lie! LoL
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 was terrible smh..
Freddie Gibbs should be doing numbers..get that show money fam
i told yall def jam wll stop buy masterflop.wait till two more weeks
In two more weeks it’ll be over 300k. That’s not a flop.
It is a flop, dickrider.
2 more weeks it will not be over 300
LoL… This is the generation that gets trophies for 2nd and 3rd place. I’m not surprised that these clowns this flop is a success.
someone say only;jay z.lil wayne.em k.dot can go plat. wrong pig young money flop so bad.weezy last two album didnt go plat.the gay era is over
no one is going to buy an album with Euro(who?), lil twist, gudda gudda, etc.. on it. no one wants to hear them. thats why this album sold shyt. if this album had only nicki, wayne, and drake on it, it would be close to platinum if not already there
Q is doing good to have more sold than Pharrell after dropping Happy. That shows how difficult it is to move units nowadays.
ijs Freddie Gibbs has the best album. he still isnt global yet. for him to have one of the most talked about albums with no radio play but all the magazines talk about him even though he only sold 9,500. that should tell you how many dickriders are out here. to many people listen to that fake shit. not even half of you moved a gram a dope but you listen to a police officer who talking about kilos and being a boss. what happen to that real music? from real people who came from an environment that they actually talk about? i fuck with Gibbs and 50.. people sleep of fif cause yall some lollypop dick suckers who rather suck dick and be friends than have beef and keep it real. Ross next tape should have a polygraph attached to it so the cop can test you fake ass people. shit his album might have a wire in that shit. Fuck the police!!! ijs
Fuck that broke nigga. He had his shot with Jeezy and he blew it.
Yall let a mufucka like Kevin Gates sell more than Gibbs smh thats that bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Anonymous so u think Jeezy a real nigga? Gibbs rap way better than YG ass. fuck that ringtone rap shit. yall rap stans letting a rapper who can barely speak properly sell albums. dawg sound like he got a speech impediment. too many passes have been given out to these fuck ass rappers. its cause of yall low IQ’s is why rap is dead. that and the molly
Homo thugs always talk about dick sucking, dickriding and dicks, corny ass bird, they got Gibbs in an interview saying he like Ross and he like Ross music while a forum nerd like you is crying tears.
Just goes to show that street niggas have a vastly different opinion than Internet nerds.
Ross fan lying like his hero.
Yes I watched that video it was funny as shit, Gibbs was mad at Wale for not liking Harold’s chicken and felt he should be murdered and Gibbs was mad that Ross used the Jewish Star of David on his Bar Mitzvah Mixtape.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3prBspjfAE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Gibbs says he likes Ross and Ross makes good music but he might just be saying that to troll the Fiddy Stans
Nobody believes those lies.
Let’s be honest…YG doesn’t even crack 30,000 units if isn’t for the outstanding Drake feature.
Artists should be sending Drake gift baskets for making them even more money. Just ask Kendrick, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Schoolboy Q, Eminem, Jhene Aiko etc. If Drake isn’t featured on a popular song then one of his in house OVO producers like Boi 1da, T-Minus and 40 likely produced it.
OVO is the modern Motown, nothing but hit records.
Q never got help from Drake
Boi 1da produced Yay Yay, the song that dropped a year ago and started the intial buzz for Oxymoron.
TDE’s been hitting up OVO for awhile now.
I wish Drake leaves ymcmb.
TDE, Jay-Z, and Eminem never got help from Drake or those OVO fags, who are nothing like Motown. Nobody owes Drake anything.
“Let’s be honest…YG doesn’t even crack 30,000 units if isn’t for the outstanding Drake feature.”
Yes, let’s forget about that platinum single with Jeezy on it. YG wouldn’t sell 30k if it wasn’t for a flop Drake single.
Let’s see, Boi 1da produced Not Afraid for Eminem…pretty big tune, Eminem even got a Grammy for that one. Jay-Z and Rick Ross’ smash hit “fuckwitmeyouknowIgotit” was produced by Boi-1da and Timbaland. T-Minus produced Kendrick’s Swimming Pools and Drake was on Poetic Justice.
So yeah a big chunk of mainstream hip-hop and R&B artists should be thanking Drake, because their hit records and awards wouldn’t exist without him. If they aren’t getting Drake features or beats from OVO, then they are blatantly copying his style.
OVO is hip-hop!
You’re still wrong about everything. No one should thank Drake for anything. They got hits and awards without him and no one’s copying his style. OVO is pop music, not hip-hop.
Eminem has songs bigger than Not Afraid and fuckwitmeyouknowIgotit isn’t even a hit.
FuckwithmeyouknowIgotit didn’t even have a fucking video and was still on the Billboard Hot 100.
Who cares if Eminem’s had bigger songs?
Did I say that OVO was responsible for all of the biggest songs in the history of music? No. They just make hits. Those songs are all hits. You people nitpick way too much.
FuckwithmeyouknowIgotit is still not a hit, though.
You obviously cared.
You continue riding those OVO queers’ dicks too much, comparing them to Motown when they’re nothing alike.
“Mastermind is the mediocre album while Oxymoron is the solid album”
Seriously. Stop cheerleading for these mediocre TDE niggaz. Oxymoron was horrible. Mastermind wasn’t great either, but it still sounds more polished, and is selling more.
Mediocre? Ross is the mediocre one. Oxymoron is a solid album while Mastermind is just shit.
this is the thought you had before you posted that comment up there? lol
you went from “____ sold more”, to “back in the day….so that 1.2 doesn’t solidify….”
I bet you don’t even see how you sh-tted on yourself
You Rick false fans get all but hurt about that fraud. LMAO… Just shows your character. You respect a fraud. Think about that!
“so you can see the significance to the culture of kendrick going platinum”
But he’s been outsold by Drake, Macklemore, & Eminem. Going platinum is good, but back in the day going platinum wasn’t enough. You literally had to do at least 3x-5 mill to be considered a giant. Then you had cats doing 8 mill. Kendrick’s little 1.2 mill isn’t enough to solidify jack shit at the moment.
Times have changed. Nowadays, thanks to free downloads, album sales have gone down and many rappers are struggling to at least sell gold. Kendrick doing 1.2 million now is good.
dude you ain’t the recording industry ceo, no one believes that bullsh-t you be kicking
Yes it’s true that Drake Mack and Em have outsold Kendrick but none of them are African Americans, they are all white, half-white, Canadians, whiteJews…..poor little K. Dot is trying to be as nerdy and hippy as possible but still cant sell as much as the gay white guys.
K-Dot ain’t trying to be nerdy or hippy-like, he’s just being a regular real nigga.
there we go, let out the TRUE thoughts because you damn sure know nothing about the recording industry
pussy
way to take my comment out of context.
“T.I
JayZ
Drake
Jeezy
Emenim
LiL Wayne
Soulja Boy
Nicki Minaj
Macklemore
Kanyee West
Kendrick Lamar”
one of these is not like the rest.
No, 500,000 is gold these days.
Which Ross will hit indeed. Give it a few months.
Dream on.
Yeah Ross will hit Gold again but I fear that Schoolboy wont make it:
Here are the Obvious moves:
Ross will release “Thug Cry” with LiL Wayne
Ross will release a Miami styled visual for “Supreme” w/ Keith Sweat
Ross will release an on location video in Jamaica for “Mafia Music 3” .
These are unlikely moves:
A video/single for “In Vein” with The weekend. (Huge shot at a radio hit)
A video with Kanye and Big Sean for “Sanctified” (the most popular song off the LP)
This is the the move I desire:
A movie styles visual treatment for “Blessing in Disguise” w/ Scarface and Z Ro.
So many options.
All of this and Ross still won’t reach gold. His last album sold more than this one 1st week and stalled at 550K, this doesn’t have a chance.
Ross did more first week than 50 did 6 years ago when he went Gold so Ross will get another budget from Def Jam. Still hard to believe 2-Chainz only did 250K total for Boats 2.
No, he didn’t. Quit defending Ross’ flop. 2 Chainz flopped appropriately, dude is wearing out his welcome rag and people are getting tired of his talentless ass.
Keep dreaming. Lmao. It’s been out 3 weeks. Sales slow down… They don’t pick up. He should thank all his leaches, I mean fans for stealing his album. LMAO
when has 500k NOT been gold? lol
“He’s talking about Masterflop. AA will sell more than that album and Excuse My Flop”
Whatever helps get you through the day, 50 groupie.
Whatever helps get you through the day, Ross groupie.
says the Ross groupie! Clowns respect C.O.’s that stole a real hustlers identity. Lmao
“Doesn’t change the fact that Khaled can’t make a hit by himself.”
He’s not an artist so he shouldn’t be expected to.
He’s putting out music, so he is an artist.
Khaled is one of the most successful DJs in the culture and one of the only DJs consistently dropping retail albums that do numbers.
However, DJ Khaled for into it with 50Cent over the whole Fat Joe beef so the 50 Trolls hate on Khaled as if he did something to them personally.
Khaled is not a DJ, he’s a leech.
there’s no difference between DJ Khaled, DJ Drama, DJ Kay Slay, or DJ Clue. They do the same things
kay slay, yes somewhat with the radio show, label, magazine, the others no
kay slay is the hugh hefner of 35 year old black chicks with pock marked asses that drive city buses by day and strip down to their underwear at night
“Mastermind sucks. It’s one of the worst albums of the year”
Yet you probably listen to twice a day.
I don’t.
The way to pimp your album is to hit the tour circuit and do your in-store signings and keep pumping out videos and remixes, if you get lucky and get a Grammy Nome’ you are guaranteed a spike in sales.
no label is gonna keep putting out videos and singles, there are budgets for that and if you’re a rapper pulling out your own cash for that, you lost, should have done it when you had the album budget
accept the fact that Rozay is not a big seller
are you on drugs?
Maybach have their own film crew which is why they filmed videos for every song off the free Mixtape Rich Forever and why they drop Vlogs and teasers every week on the week.
Slow people fail to realize that when you have a team in place and skilled pros all you need is a treatment/script and a location/set and you can film your own visuals/videos.
Ross is not a big seller he just sells more than 99% of the other rappers so it seems that way.
The Ross fanboy making up lies to defend his hero. How honorable.
its just too bad he cant get jay-z to make a music video with him
you dense mother fuckers, for ross those numbers are flop, for Q its a success,because Ross is supposed to be a king pin of rap but he is pretty much doing school boy numbers, where as schoolboy is on the come up with his first album, ross flopped hes supposed to be at his peak at this point, album sales say hes not on a level with drake kendrick em or jay, for christ sakes macklemore is killing these dudes and hes terrible
That’s what I’ve been saying all along. He had a music equivalent of a Marvel movie budget and promo and ended up with Snow in the Bluff numbers.
Dont let Ross troll you, he drops his Gold albums makes a few millions and then buys everything that his heart desires with the money he earns.
He is trolling us by selling more than 99% of the rappers out there and forcing us to compare his sales to the 1% that outsell him.
He is trolling us for sport.
Delusional Ross stan, everyone.
we call them Bruthadee’s
500K is gold clown! They never changed it. I know you wished they did so fatboy could look like a success but he still needs about 250k to go gold. 3 weeks out now… It’s not going to get any better. Keep dreaming.
You must have down syndrome, Jimmy cause 198k is nowhere near 256k. Q was supposed to follow in Kendrick’s shoes, and at least do half.
You’re the only one with down syndrome. Q did do half of K-Dot’s 1st week numbers in one week.
************************************************************
Bought Mastermind album today. Listened to it top to bottom. Its not Rozay’s best Album (Deeper than Rap,Teflon Don were his best n Classics->Port of Miami had some classic tracks tho however those two albums were Rozay’s Best)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.
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 production work well to Rozay’s Rapping style.
I want to rank Mastermind as 2nd or 3rd behind TD and DTR or just TD but its a dope album and I agree it should have had more Justice Leage and Toomp but not Rotem.
I saw on Twitter were Thug Cry is the next single and video.
how anybody can listen to his albums after he was exposed, really urks me…can’t wait for some real music to be out
That’s because this is the fakest generation. A bunch of fuck boys that respect a C.O. turned rapper who took the REAL Rick Ross’ identity and fooled these fuck boys into thinking he was “real”. LoL. These same niggas wear tight jeans and think man skirts are fashionably cool. SMH!
Another success for Ross, he didnt even have a single in the Top 200 off the album and still outsold Schoolboy, YG, and Phareell who all had Hot singles like Man Of The Year, Happy, and MY Hitta.
Just goes to show how consistent Ross is that he is moving the same first week numbers as he did back in 2006 and still outselling 99% of his peers after 9 years!
Bawse!!
Keep repeating those delusional lies to yourself if it helps you sleep at night.
LMFAO @ “Success”… Funniest shit I read all day! You lames probably got trophy’s for 2nd place growing up so you think failure is a success. LMAO!
Freddie Gibbs album of the year. How da Fuck you people be sleeping on real hip hop ………
I’m being honest and there is no bias on my part. I enjoy Rick Ross’ album more than I enjoyed Schoolboy Q’s album. Ross to me has the better album and it does help that he’s Ross to sell. Schoolboy Q’s album was mediocre to me and I think TDE has a lot of fans that just sit around and troll blog sites saying that everything else is crap. Q is riding Kendrick’s wave really hard and he’s not complaining. You Schoolboy Q fans need to stop being DELUSIONAL
btw Freddie Gibbs has the best album this year, then followed by YG
Yep. You’re a fucking idiot with shit music taste.
agree with all this.
PSYCH!!
Your favorite albums are flops! LMAO! Just goes to show that bum ass leaches support wack music. Good. Keep stealing their shit so they can disappear already! Labels wont be putting money into flops much longer.
Fully agree with your assessment of Oxymoron, and I say that as a Q fan.
However I can’t really comment on whether Officer William Leonard a/k/a Officer Ricky has a better album because i will never listen to the fat fraud.
im ready for SAIGON’s GSNT3….
MMLP2 sales are looking really disappointing for an Em record.
Said by no one ever.
It hasn’t been a year since MMLP2 was released. Give it time.
yeah, this week
double platinum is so disappointing when most rappers cant go gold. lol
you know the sales are sucky when 3 weeks later Pharell hasnt cracked 200K when he has the biggest single in the world and all the Grammy hype you could ask for. Damn YG had a plat single and did 60K.
Ross is on pace to do 500k, Drake is on his way to 2Mill.
LMAO at Aloe Blacc selling those copies all based on the Beats commercials.
single hype means hes selling singles not albums, his single is already 2x plat so why would all those people want the album if they only know 1 song
LMAO @ “Ross is on his way to 500k”… It’s been 3 weeks and he barely got to 250k. It only gets worst from here, not better! LoL… You bum ass Ross fans don’t buy albums. I guarantee he bought half of those albums. LoL
Hey dumb fag, maybe people who buy the single are willing to buy the album also or is that beyond your 10 year old brains understanding?
Ross is on his way to Gold like always but most likely just to troll you and hurt your feelings.
He ain’t gonna be gold, dickrider. Stop dedicating your life to this man who doesn’t even know you.
lmao @ young money! Them niggas is done, its a WRAP!
Yes, it’s true Young Money are done now that Drake has sold 1.5 million copies of an album priced at $9.99.
And the rest of Young Money are flopping.
1 man can’t save that label. Once he jumps ship the light will go out in YMCMB offices like it did in Cleveland when Lebron left to South Beach. LoL
How the hell did YG sell more than French Montana first week who had Diddy and Ross behind him and Drake and Wayne on his platinum selling hit single?
Because he’s trash. People who buy albums don’t buy French Montana or Rick Ross albums. There fans are bum ass leaches that steal and download albums for free. FACT!
Let’s not pretend 61k is a success. YG flopped fucking hard despite 1 big single which Montana had as well. It’s all downhill from here.
If YG flopped than so did Tyga, Ace Hood, DJ Khaled, Rich Gang, Young Money and MMG’s Self Made.
Young Money are done, I’m glad we’ve gone past that corny ass shit
Masterflop will struggle to go Gold
Won’t even reach Gold. Ross better start buying more of his album if he wants to get close. LoL
No, he didn’t. Quit defending Ross’ flop. 2 Chainz flopped appropriately, dude is wearing out his welcome rag and people are getting tired of his talentless ass.”
People aren’t tired of 2 chainz, he had the huge hit, talk dirty. His album just didn’t get enough promotion.
You ain’t making sense, hater. 2 Chainz is only on album #2 and he’s tanking. I’d be surprised if his next album even comes out this year. Ross is six albums deep, so even if MM stalls in the mid 300k range, he’ll be back.
Not with major label behind him. Unless he’s sucking dick in the office at def jam. They’re not going to keep funding flops.
“People aren’t tired of 2 chainz, he had the huge hit, talk dirty. His album just didn’t get enough promotion.”
Yes, they are. Talk Dirty isn’t even 2 Chainz’s song and his album got a lot of promo.
Talk dirty is jason derulo’s 1st top ten hit in a while. This one had 2 chainz. He lifted derulo up. BTW, I would be surprised if 50 gets his album out this year.
Yet Derulo had many Top 40 singles. Chainz didn’t lift him at all, Derulo lifted him.
Ross’ album is a flop. All the publicity and radio play and that shit will probably never reach Gold… It’s still 500k to go gold. Not 250k. You fuck boys are from the generation that gives trophies for 2nd place so 250k to you is good. That’s a failure! And I bet you clowns defending that trash stold his album and helped him go WOOD! LMAO!
Young Money album sales are horrible. It’s over! The death of wack music has started. The bum ass leaches will stay online hating while real fans BUY real music!
sold more than “Rich Gang” in two weeks…..will probably sell 80K total…..compilation albums dont really sell much anymore anyway
That album been out for weeks already. It’s over! The only way it hits 80k is Baby buys the albums. Compilation or not. Nobody buying anymore music from them.
“accept the fact that Rozay is not a big seller”
Accept the fact Mastermind is still selling on ITunes, currently #2. Don’t let 256k fool you. People are buying this album.
It ain’t at #2.
album will only do 8k next week just like I said it will do around 25 this week
If telling your self that makes you feel better about that garbage. SMH
Go look for yourself.
Currently at #22.
“Not with major label behind him”
That would be 50 Cent.
You just love putting 50’s name in your mouth. Obsessed bitch.
LoL. You wouldn’t even know 50 is independent. He’s moving like a major label right now. Meanwhile Ross still got Slip & Slide’s logos on his albums because he still owes money and doesn’t own his publishing. Frauds usually respect frauds and hate real n!ggas. It the way of the concrete jungle.
^ the irony of this white kid using the N-word and talking about real “N-words” like thats the bizznes.
50 spent his entire career with a logo that reads: Universal/Interscope/Aftermath because Jimmy owns his Masters and the white rapper guy split his publishing with the white bosses Jimmy and Lucian.
Internet geeksters usually respect rappers that dance with fellow geeks in videos and put their hero Eminem on their album they tend to hate normal “niggas” that pay them no mind.
The same Ross fanboy making up lies again.
bruthadee seems so mad he never lets up on the geek unit groupies like he has nothing better to do with his life at his age
@BruthaDee was mad.
In the words of Hov “there’s only so long fake thugs could pretend”. It’s almost over for Officer Rick False. All that radio play they payed for and all those interviews and his bum ass fans still didn’t buy that shit. Most of them downloaded that shit for free. LoL
His album is doing just as well as his past ones and he’s building up careers while ending 50’s.
Wrong
Right bitch.
No, wrong.
^^no hes right
No, he’s wrong.
No, I’m right 50 groupie.
No, you’re wrong, Ross groupie
How am i wrong?
Because what you say is a lie.
In the words of Hov: I’m about a Dolla what the fuck is 50Cents”.
The 50 dickRyder is so hurt that he thinks the label “pays” for interviews, LOL, no wonder 50 is irrelevant just look at the mentality of his fans!
Hov still faking his age though.
Aha, Jay-Z is so full of shit! He drops a line like that, yet he still collabs with these fake-ass cats. So very few in the rap game are real nowadays.
Wrong. 50 is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Every site. Better music. Keep telling yourself that. Ya respect a C.O. that stole a real G’s identity. LMAO. By the way those other albums were failures too. LoL. MC Gusto will never come close to what 50 sold on his 1st 2 albums with all of his albums combined. And the only reason I brought up 50 right now is because you did to try and divert the fact that you respect a fraud and his album is flop.
Whatever Ross is in your mind you have to live with the fact that your hero Fiddy made him a bigger artists than he ever was.
Ross is even more relevant thanks to 50.
U Mad?
How does Ross’ dick taste, stanley?
Nelly, MC Hammer and DMX sold more than 50 Cent, so what’s your point? It’s all about who’s hot right now. What have you done for me lately?
Spoken like a true mainstream music bandwagon bitch.
Kevin Gates 4 President #BWA
50s geek squad are so starved for a win that they have been monitoring and reporting were 50s songs are on the ITunes charts LMFAO, I love trolling those fucks, they are bigger Nerds than the MF Doom Stan’s.
This guy epitomizes being a loser.
its funny cause you the nigga who researching white backup singers in order to try and discredit kendrick and j cole’s success when they outsold rick ross LOL.
He isnt a nigga homie he is a lonely white kid who looks like the backup singers on a Kendrick or
J Cole record, thinking he can discredit Ross success by comparing him to another brothers success.
LOL, divide and conquer tactics that whites use.
Your comment makes no sense.
I LOVE this flop talk its the perfect setup for 50s Actual Ambition flop, of course his Lovers and stanbase will say the shitty sales are because he is independent or they will say he gets $9 off every CD so a flop is okay.
LMFAO I cant wait untill his male cheerleaders weep tears of pain after their Black guy hero tanks like the Titanic.
I bet you were a loser in high school and I bet you’re a loser in life.
“I cant wait untill his male cheerleaders weep tears of pain after their Black guy hero tanks like the Titanic.”
Think how sad you sound.
Go look at yourself in the mirror and just try to tell yourself you’re not a complete nerd loser without shedding a tear.
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, 2pac a ballerina. 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!!!!!
See how easy it was to hurt them? Its almost a hobby when your phone gets boring, you just come here wand torment the scum buckets.
Yeah, it’s fun making fun of the Ross fanboys.

Rihanna is grade A pussy? LOL sure

Why is Jay Z still lying about his age, when we can look it up on Been Verified and Intellius? He’s 50 years old and ashamed of it lol.
Didnt Star just expose him?
No matter if JayZ is 50, 60 or 30 he got one of the baddest bitches on the planet and enough money to buy your life twice.
His we made it remix is better than Schoolboy Q’s whole album.
Stuntin on stage got the 12 years a slave, this Ace of Spades looks like an Oscar
All you Rick Ross haters are the biggest faggots ever. You lames think your so cool listening to your underground nerd rap that nobody cares about. If Rick Ross was so bad, than why the fuck did he get a #1 album this year? Rozay is the hottest rapper in the game, any of you pussies disagree, my number is 4109436372 so call me and we’ll see how tough you internet thugs are you bitch ass niggas.
You mad! LoL. Go buy his album instead of crying on the internet. Fuck you worried about an internet comment for? You lames are male b*tches the way ya get emotional. Especially over Rick False.
Signed your phone number up for some gay chats. You’re welcome.

The Ross Dickrider is scare of mirrors
Masterflop only sold 256 put our Godfather 50 will sell 500 first week and he is on ITunes.

50 will rise from the ashes you just watch you choads.
He won’t sell 500k total lol
Who, Ross?
eminem is pop star he isnt rap he needs rihanna to do numbers with out rihanna he wont sell shit. Drake runs the rap game these days and rozay is consistent. 50 and all the shady after math washed up hasbins are irrelevent.
Copy=pasting old bullshit comments, stanley?
stop copy/pasting and talk to me liked real friend you meathead.
add me on twitter guys i take selfies and crotch shots and love mmg
@BruthaDee
he wants you to think he’s sitting there reciting industry law, going thru industry memos and spreadsheets while the industry looks to him for advice
but the truth is he’s an insecure lame dying to be important
who? could you be any more vague?
Enough with the Ross/50 Comments… Eminem runs this rap game aint no question about it.
He’s not even selling like he used to.
YMCMB> Wu Tang.
Said by no one with a brain.
LMFAO!! The best way to tease, taunt and torment them is with barbs about their “sociallness” I swear ro God they respond every single time like clockwork, Im dying laughing right now LMFAO!
bruthadee when you gonna get a social life of your own, trolling white kids online and being a ross groupie gotta get boring for a 40 year old.
Now he will respond and say that his words, (or OP’s words if he’s pretending to be another person to co-sign himself) caused you to catch feelings.
The OP is @BruthaDee he is 40 and a Ross groupie!!
*Dead* this has to be the work of one twisted individual because nobody Trolls that easy. LOL.
“You wouldn’t even know 50 is independent”
Except for the fact he told you he’s independent.
you missed the point of the statement
They come back here like dogs to their own vomit hoping and praying to get acknowledged by a nucca.
We own em.
That fuckery might work on here with the lowest common denominaters but try that shit on Fb or HB and you will get ignored.
the irony
I keep coming back and leaving more comments just hoping one of them suburban white geeks will catch feelings from my words and respond to me. Im so lonely, might go take some selfies for my niggas.
YG still that nigga.
*YG still that ignorant nigga
if Freddie gibbs cd actually made it to stores the first week album sales would have been a lot different couldn’t find a physical copy anywere still waitng for my order to come in at HMV
word. i had to buy digital
im gonna buy it on vinyl
“Who, Ross?”
Fiddy
Nah, that’s definitely Ross.
everyone needs to buy pinata = freddie gibbs/madlib. album’s a classic.
Classic garbage.
funny how Ross stays on the bottom of that Rank chart
“Nah, that’s definitely Ross”
Port of Miami has sold well over 800k, and Trilla has done almost 700k. Animal Rescue Attempts will do 40k 1st week and not even do 100k total.
you’re compring 2006 to 2014
dont the ross stans get mad when we compare 2003 to 2014?
Dream on, Quote-bitch.
“you missed the point of the statement”
No half a man. I took a healthy poo on that statement. All of these 50 songs lately have low budget beats, and sound like recycled garbage. Look at his album cover. It looks worse than a Koch cover. Real progress is not bunching together a group of bad songs, but generating real hype where people are actually going to lay out 10-12 bucks come June.
No, you took that statement out of context and made yourself look stupid. Everything you’re saying all applies to Ross and no 50.
dis nigga is the master of taking shit out of context
Oxymoron bang! not a classic, but deserves far more than 200k in sales
I can take statements anyway I choose. It’s a hip hop site, and if you can’t handle it maybe you should be doing more constructive with your life instead of showing your insecurities to strangers.
“when we compare 2003 to 2014?”
There’s only two of you losers who still dwell in 2003 lol It’s over kids. Focus on now where Mastermind is #1 on Itunes after weeks in release, while singles from Animal Rescue Attempts are flopping.
it’s not #1 on itunes though
Ironically, Mastermind’s singles are all flopping.
Where is Actual Ambition?
coming to a dumpster near you june 3rd.
“when has 500k NOT been gold? lol”
Early in the 70’s and 80’s I think, a million was considered gold. 2 million was platinum.
60 k aint bad 4 a new artist unlike young money kant do 60 k in 2 weeks
