Ross can't anymore. He did not even do half that this time around.

He must of lost a lot of his core support after dropping Mastermind. People thought it was so wack they did not bother buying Hood billionaire. I guess Mastermind is to Ross what Curtis was to 50. The final Nail in his oversized coffin. Ross had a good run though. He even went gold once several years ago. He owns a restraunt and a bullet riddled bentley. Shame his run over.
replace Ross with Em then.

This number is a bit :patrice: for Nicki.

Her star is clearly fading musically. Anaconda is on something like 1.7m singles so she'll probably recoup, but those Barbz don't be buying any more. With a 160k first week, this will strugggle to reach gold. I don't think that Arianna/Perry single would get much radio burn either, especially with the content. 160k with a Christmas backdrop is a bit suspect.

Major look for D'Angelo though. Dropping nothing for 14 years and then moving more than Wiz, Jeezy, Ross (Hood Billionaire), Childish Gambino, YG and all these other cats who are very much "popping" right now is a lightweight myth. Salute to the OG's.

Build a fanbase brehs.

Didnt em just drop a compilation album with no push that did 180k? I do not listen to Eminem but saw some posts on here. Ems last solo album didnt sell 80k in its first week did it? Ross dropped Black friday week. Good thing otherwise he was looking at probably only 30-40k sold.

That projection number is definitely suspect, because her fans on social media seem to be mad supportive. Not to mention, she was on that Bang Bang song with Ariana which seemed to be huge too. And most of the people who'd be in Nicki's demographic prefer Nicki over Iggy so it's not like they're jumping ship either. So what happened?

But what does J. Cole have to do with Nicki flopping other than fans needing to justify listening to his perpetual dullard brand of music simply because he's sprinkled in black issues at an opportune time?
