Despite The C.O Allegations And 50 Cent Videos....Rick Ross Still Sales 150-160k

[Still Datshyt]

That just shows that nobody cares about the c.o stuff and that 50's tactics were unsucceful...good music always prevails. Congratulations Ross.

[HiphopDude420]

word to the Boss Rick Ross

[sporticus]

[badgyal]

My numbers are straight from soundscan predictions.

[badgyal]

My numbers are straight from soundscan predictions.
I called it. I keep trying to tell these ppl, that he doesn't need a top ten single to sell his usual amount of units... Rick Ross, Jada, etc have a very specific core audience. These ppl are going to cop their albums all the time.

[Sunzoo aka LC]

lol so he did similar numbers to jadakiss...i ain't even seen a vid for jada or even know what the official single is, i bet his budget was much smaller too

It also shows that top 10 itunes don't really matter for artists like rick ross.

[Mick Swagger]

Well maybe the 50 beef didn't effect Ross too negativly because many poeple are just 50 haters.

they hate the fact that a black man is that damn rich. Its Envy

However, Ross its still a loss for Ross:yes: all the moeny they put into this Album, Ross will be lucky to make a small profit....
I'm sure 50 will break it down for us in the near future. :laugh:

[HiphopDude420]

lol so he sold more than G-Unit did? So What, them n1ggas is monkey's and most likely wear high heals and lipstick

WTF? N1gga? :eek: Ain't U a G-Unit fan?

Yea it did do better than TOS didn't it...

That's some wild news...

[Boss Karim]

the art of coincidental dikkriding
shut up Sunzoo, and just tip your hat and keep it moving...damn HOMIE!!!!

[Soundwave]

How does this affect you in any way?

[Get Right]

You know who definately didn't and cannot win?

An old depressed pedophile with no friends who dikk rides Lil Wayne and Ricky Ross.

[PrayIVReign365]

Well it also showed that the beef didnt help.

If he so called"won" the beef and destroyed one of the biggest artists and most successful artist in the world, then it would have sold a lot more. Curtis 600k DTR 150k close thread

[gluvnast31]

It also shows that top 10 itunes don't really matter for artists like rick ross.

once again, i said this before...iTunes is overrated

remember when flo-rida's the king in iTune sales but his album debut was only like 55K?

[MickJones86]

an allegation is unproven . There are no more C.O. allegations

Nobody hates 50 for being rich..

50 just a **** starter at this point who's formula for making records are played. bottom line

now if he becomes an artist again, maybe people would get back on board.

you sorta got it twisted. 50 cent took it upon himself to "destroy" rick ross' career, to his credit he did a damn good impeccable job in his attempts. this wouldn't of never gotten anywhere had 50 cent simple ignored that 2 bar diss. many or rappers dissed 50 cent without no response by 50...50 cent picked and chose and felt like ross is an easy target and underestimated his persistence.

rick ross sold whut he normally sold. the entire tirade by 50 cent ended up being irrelevent.

[Still Datshyt]

David beat Goliath. Wasn't 50 suppoased to ruin his life? Hahahah. 50 can't say nothing now. His last offering 'T.O.A' sold 99k 1st week...Ross is on pace for about 160k.

He should have sold more than Trilla if he did first week. Hes on the top right, how come he cant sell more than 189k? If you were right then his album would have sold more than any of his previous albums

plus. TOS = G UNIT WORK
BeG FOR MERCY SOLD LESS THAN GRODT and THE MASSACRE.

Why not compare 3rd albums.

If Ross sold more than Curtis people would be comparing, but no.

why are you comparing an album that came out in 2007???? during a time when there was no global recession, during a time where 50 cent needed kanye just to get 700K

50 cent each and everytime been declining, musically AND with soundscan. lets talk about TODAY. with one album looking very likely to be the number one album in the country vs. another that's indefinitely shelved forcing 50 cent to revamp the entire album all over.

[Waingro]

so ross does jada numbers as i expected.. FLOP

he wont even go fukking gold

Bottom line is...Ross attacked a bigger target in 50, and despite 50's severe efforts of ending his career...in the end Ross stayed the same...therefore he won.

Yeah but Flo Rida aint on def jam. Def Jam are known for buying albums.

Word. Ross last 2 albums sold around the same thing right? Do you think he will sell more then trilla?

sales that year was declining too. this hasnt just happened. Record sales have been declining. Plus Weezy sold 1mill, Ti sold 500k, Game sold 200k, Nas sold 200k, Jeezy sold 200k, Kanye sold 400k. So dont blame it on the recession please

plus why compare it to an album that wasnt a solo album like Rosses?

Beg for mercy sold less than all 50s albums. So did TOS.

hes the same musically with Ross. What has changed musically?

And his album is not shelved, he is working on it so people can like it instead of rushing it out when no one really wants it

[HiphopDude420]

Bottom line is...Ross attacked a bigger target in 50, and despite 50's severe efforts of ending his career...in the end Ross stayed the same...therefore he won.

that makes sense I can believe this

[L. Deezy]

so ross does jada numbers as i expected.. FLOP

he wont even go fukking gold


why wont he?.. Akon did less than that and went Gold...

Ross album going thru the summer. Too many bangers on it

[PrayIVReign365]

Bottom line is...Ross attacked a bigger target in 50, and despite 50's severe efforts of ending his career...in the end Ross stayed the same...therefore he won.
how did he win. 50 is still the same. Ross said he killed 50. I dont see anything to back that up. His album still hasnt sold as much as his.

[badgyal]

Yeah but Flo Rida aint on def jam. Def Jam are known for buying albums.

Where did this rumor come from? What made ppl start saying this? Any proof of this?

[gluvnast31]

Word. Ross last 2 albums sold around the same thing right? Do you think he will sell more then trilla?
yea, that's his range. his has a consistent fanbase. who knows if it sells more than trilla, but he needs to push maybach music 2 out ASAP

[flexxdzl]

That just shows that nobody cares about the c.o stuff and that 50's tactics were unsucceful...good music always prevails. Congratulations Ross.


WOW...your really a stan to the 10th power ..there's no way ..on earth 165 is great..or deserves congratz...

That would make TOS ..( gunit) a great record ..cuz the first week is nearly double that..Bucks, records sold more than that..Curtis ..Sold 700 plus so that means Rck ross loss bad.. ..

So you must have to give 50 and the unit 50 times more credit now .....


Real talk ross better hope he can go gold...he might not make it pass 350,000

[badgyal]

how did he win. 50 is still the same. Ross said he killed 50. I dont see anything to back that up. His album still hasnt sold as much as his.
Basically what Datshyt said. Yesterday morning on Big Boys nieghborhood, they were discussing this subject... Everyone agreed that Ross Won. They were all laughing and saying he's "killing you right now fifty."

[PrayIVReign365]

lol how is he killing him when nothing backs it up. I bought the album, Im just wondering. like he released a good album. Not classic but good.


his sales declined, hes bragging like he killed 50? I really do not get how. but whatever, whatever Ross Stans wanna believe.

and Def Jam buying album is so bogus. Thats 50 stans excuse too

[The Product]

with all of the hype with 50
and c.o talk his album still
didnt outself his last one.
this is a loss for lause.

[eastside313]

once again, i said this before...iTunes is overrated
remember when flo-rida's the king in iTune sales but his album debut was only like 55K?

but he sold a shiit load of itune singles and ringtones off that, and them top singles probably will keep him on a real tour not doing clubs.

155K is a good nubmer nowadays, but we all know ross was trying to do big numbers. Maybe he shoulda been trying to promote his music instead of releasing a diss video the day before his album dropped.

[gluvnast31]

sales that year was declining too. this hasnt just happened. Record sales have been declining. Plus Weezy sold 1mill, Ti sold 500k, Game sold 200k, Nas sold 200k, Jeezy sold 200k, Kanye sold 400k. So dont blame it on the recession please

with the exception of jeezy, to whom is about at the same level as ross in celebrity fame. all those OTHER names are virtually POP music icons of this decade. just like eminem, for instance...those artists don't have to put in work and sale like crazy.

rick ross is an artist that NEVER sold platinum, but consistent when it comes to the numbers. so even during a harsh recession like today, he still got his average whereas everyone else does lower than usual. the last jadakiss album i believe debuted at 300K, but now since it's 2009 it debuted at 135K and everyone gives him props for that because we understood the music climate is today.....

rick ross getting his normal numbers is impressive when you consider how harsh music been lately sales-wise. he got the number one album in the country...that alone is success

[BossBaller]

And his album is not shelved, he is working on it so people can like it instead of rushing it out when no one really wants it

Wow, did 50 give you CAB FARE after you sucked his diick, you biitch ass niigga?

:laugh:

[paranoid joe]

Where did this rumor come from? What made ppl start saying this? Any proof of this?

Ross outselling Snoop Dogg with no single and less white support at the time than Snoop.

[gluvnast31]

but he sold a shiit load of itune singles and ringtones off that, and them top singles probably will keep him on a real tour not doing clubs.

yet he doesn't have a strong fanbase. pop singles can only last for a minute. until flo-rida have a consistent fanbase in which the same fans that rush to download singles are the ones that rush to get his album as well he's not going to last long....

[YoungPimpin_1]

Life still ain't ruined

[PrayIVReign365]

Wow, did 50 give you CAB FARE after you sucked his diick, you biitch ass niigga?
:laugh:
no just the 50 hate is unfair. I bought Ross **** cuz of the music, but the hate for 50 is just embarrassing.

[sporticus]

no just the 50 hate is unfair.

No it's not. He hates on everyone. He hated on Ashanti for being good friends and labelmates with Ja Rule. Fukking Ashanti! How fair is that? What'd she ever do? He turned his (or Eminem's) fans/stans/interns against half of rap music. What's unfair about criticizing him like he does others?

[PrayIVReign365]

He turned his (or Eminem's) fans/stans/interns against half of rap music. What's unfair about criticizing him like he does others?so Ross deserves less? What has he done to help hip hop as a genre. Anything new? no.

and
gluvnast31 Yea i guess your right.
