50,
Deeper than Rap is better than any of your albums beside GRODT
GRODT was decent, but isnt an all time great album
It doesnt rank
Now you got a legacy to MAKE
Or it can go down as the greatest rapper who got shot
You wanna be remembered differently?
Make some music worth listening to
Realize you fukked up by gettin rid of Young Buck/Game because those 2 was thee most liked ppl in G-Unit
Take it back to the booth
Ricky Ross more relevant from a music standpoint, and its your own fault

155k isn't flopping for a rapper like Ross in the current music sales enviroment.

50 knows this, that's why he's scared to drop BISD and put up similar numbers to Ross.

You're really comparing sales of an album that dropped two years ago...to an album that dropped now?

Sales were different then and 50's a bigger artist than Ross will ever be, really is that the only thing you can use to argue a point? Ross been making better music than 50 for years.

You're a delusional white guy from Ireland.

What did he win?

I think you are the only poster who still posts threads about sales. This was in its prime back in 2003, 2004 but still posting numbers threads is ridiculous. 155k or 1.5 million, what do you get out of it?

the only way you give fif any credit is if ross had a significant drop off from his regular numbers. ross still sold what he would have sold if he never would have beefed with fif. he still go go gold like he would have if he never would have beefed with fif. in reality fif loss cause he was the one with the pimpin curly series and gettin tia and taking her shopping and gettin her a book deal and puttin the sex tape out on his other baby momma and yet ross still maintained his numbers and all he gave you was a couple of videos some interviews and some dope music. fifty went all in and couldnt end him. personally now it really makes me rethink this theory that he ended ja. maybe ja just ended himself cause this shows fifty aint got the ability to destroy nobody in a beef.

and btw what did t.o.s sell again?

Port Of Miami
sales at 187,000 its first week out.

Trilla
at #1 on first week sales of over 198,000.

Deeper Than Rap
155,000 in its first week.

So basically, nothing has changed. Rick Ross is still selling what he sold back in 2006, 2 albums ago. Now before you log off and never post in this thread again. can you answer me this:

Has 50 Cent sold the same amount of albums he sold in 2006 than he did with his last album with G-unit, and... Is he still selling the same as he did from his first album?

Now.. STFU

I never thought 50 destroyed Ja. It was Shady/ Aftermath that destroyed Ja. 50 did nothing. If Eminem had not got involved, 50 would not have won. it was the Hail Mary track that did it for me, and that had both Busta and Eminem on it. 50's verse was terrible and would not have even damaged my rap career, let alone Ja's.

So Ross how do you feel with your album sales?

"Im very pleased with moving 150k units in this climate, we in a recession and to be able to put up numbers like that is a success."

What about the pledge you made that you would outsell 50 cents album

"Oh yeah shot out to the Muunkey.... if it wasnt for Curly i might not have pushed as many units in this recession as I did. The Gay unit cant even come through the streets no more. Phoney Yayo couldnt sell 100 records in this climate. Toy Banks does gay porn. When Curly drops hes done. haha....the munkey's done. We shinin over here...."

Except that's a lie, and that's not what he said...he said if success were based on quality of the music, if GRODT sold 10, he should sell 12...

If the projections hold up and he does 150K-160K, it's a success...not just considering the current market for record sales, but also in light that so many were saying the C.O. sh!t and then the 50 beef were suppossedly gonna "end his career"...

But wait a minute, isn't it the popular belief that 50 can't sell records without some sort of controversy? Here we have Ross doing the exact same thing and he sold the exact same amount of records he's always sold.

Looks to me like beef doesn't sell records after all.

LOL at not using your intelligence to understand the context rick ross was talking about. he never said deeper than rap will outsell GRODT, he spoke if record sales equal to talent he would outsell 50 cent. which is technically true, because ross IS more lyrically talented than 50.

Do you not see the difference between what you said in the first post (Ross has been going around saying he WILL sell more than any 50 album) and what that quote in your sig is actually saying...


"Rick Ross says if you judge him on making music, then his Deeper Than Rap LP (due March 24) should make a bigger splash on the SoundScan charts than 50 Cent's [i]Get Rich or Die Tryin'

"That's for sport," Ross said about his dis raps aimed at 50. The Miami monster said his underground records won't overshadow the hits on his album. "My freestyles as you could hear them, I do them in 20 minutes and put them out there. Those crumble empires. People listening to how potent the music is. That's all this really is for me. I'm not really excited yet. All this is a platform for me to show people how talented I am. How much better of a lyricist I am. So if [50] sold 10 [million], my next album should sell 12

WRONG again. this would of NEVER been where its at had it not been for fiddy taking it to the extreme. all ross did was spit a 2-bar diss at 50 cent in which could of been easily ignored. 50 cent never met him, they never had any previous animosity or nothing. there's been plenty of OTHER rappers that dissed 50 cent that 50 cent completely ignored. you never heard of a Z-RO vs. 50 cent battle. you never heard of the wu-tang/ 50 cent beef escalating into anything significant. 50 cent picks and chooses his beef. 50 HIMSELF had an album coming out WITH a release date as well and felt that rick ross was a very easy target. it was 50 cent that made that vow that he would DESTROY rick ross career. all just because ross took a small little diss to him...

rick ross probably did do that to get some attention (which worked), but 50 cent clearly went to this extreme, moreso than any other rapper he beefed with, because his album was supposely coming out. but everything he leaked out musically for the album was weak sauce. hell the last song leak he put out was the joint with r. kelly and it got COMPLETELY ignored!!! rick ross got whut he wanted. and his album is on the verge of being the number one album in the country. 50 cent don't even know HIMSELF when his album ever going to come out.

if we're talking about albums. rick ross won! his album is critically acclaimed. it's the top selling album in the nation right now. meanwhile, 50 cent is being forced to scrap whut he had already recorded and have to do a do-over without any idea on an album release. there's no way you can logical flip this to a 50 cent win. you can reflect to 2007 all you like, but this is 2009 to which 50 cent's ALBUM was supposely BEEN out.

Highest rap debut of the year. #1 on the charts.

If you're trying to say Rick Ross flopped, you're saying the following things:

A) Every musical act this week flopped.
B) Hip-hop is dead commercially.

Lol, who said I was trying to flip this into a win. What I was basically saying was that Rick Ross pretty much wasted the last 3 months or so on promotion for his album since he can't even move more than he did last year. 50 Cent having to scrap his album(which we don't even know if that was the case) has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Ross. It has everything to do with the singles flopping which were happening before this whole thing even started.

Ross didn't WIN anything, he just simply kept his head above water. If anything, there is no winner.

lol twist it how ever u want, i know what he said and meant u can think of it that way if it makes u feel better,

but he opened his mouth and felt very confident that this record would do large large #'s and it didnt, for his career album #'s its not a flop , but for this "beef" it is a flop he was pushin that magnficant record out there like if was a hot track just cuz he had john legend on there and it wasnt, and that was his only single u hear on the radio, basically anything u heard bout this dude in the past 3months has been because of 50
