Ross definitely ain’t top 5 dead or alive, but I was just sitting here thinking it’s crazy how his catalog shyts on 50s.

I don't like to do the top 5 DOA thing but Ross would be in there at No. 5 for me just because of the cohesive bodies of works he has put out. Actual songs, album structuring and beat selection put Ross in my Top 5. His body of work is crazy and besides a small handful of dated songs on Port of Miami and Trilla a lot of the albums he has done could be considered timeless.

Am I buggin or did 50 call Troy Ave fake a couple years ago on the Breakfast Club? I kinda remember him saying something like he called nikkaz from Brooklyn and they told him Troy was fake bur he still liked him
He didn't call him fake, he said he needs to stop trying to copy his sound so much.

Everything troy was doing at that time was 50 jr. 50 was tired of that shyt. Said make your own lane. But at the same time, still accepted that nikka off the strength.

Let's look at their last 3 singles breh.

"No Romeo No Juliet" sitting at 62 mil on the official vid and 27 mil on the audio.

"I'm The Man" vid over 100 mil and the audio at 27 mil.

"Still Think I'm Nothing" over 10 mil Video and Audio.

None of Ross' last 3 vids on his page have more than 7 mil individually. Y'all gotta stop the narrative that Ross is bigger just because you like him and he releases more music.
Im the man came out super bowl 2 years ago :merchant:

Are you sure hes only released 3 songs in 2 1/2 years? Seems like you are being very selective of the songs you are posting to make a point here

Didnt he just come out with a song with PNB Rock? Whats the views on that :jbhmm:

The issue is him lying and saying it wasn't him Then backtracking and saying it was him

All fun and games aside, that's fake as fukk a
You're such a hypocrite(and a fakkit). 50 did the exact same thing regarding the murder inc paper work. First he said in the XXL magazine that the paper work Murda Inc had on him was a forgery that Irv himself manufactured to hurt 50's credibility. Later on, once the evidence became irrefutable, 50 finally reveals that the paper work is authentic but that another nikka somehow falsely ratted in his name and then somehow the detectives on the case just ignored procedure and just let everything rock. I mean, all fun and games aside, that's fake as fukk.

This paper work is so ironic lol. Federal Agent Francis Mace specifically shows the quote of Supreme referring to 50 as a talking dry snitcher in the same document where he records 50 telling him directly to read his lyrics for information on Supreme&Murder inc. It's almost like Francis is going out of his way to prove Supreme was correct.

The PNB Rock joint hasn't even been released yet. They're 50s last 3 singles. All I did for Ross was go to his Vevo and look at his last 3 videos.

I went back through Ross' last 10 videos and his biggest one only has 19 Mil views.

If you wanna pull the Chris Brown stimulus card Ross' last single with Chris only had 40 mil views video and audio. That was released on a major label as well compared to 50 who's independent.

Numbers don't lie breh.

Exactly numbers don't lie. Ross and 50 both released albums in 2014, mastermind did over 100,000 first week. 50's album did like 40,000.

His numbers are so bad that he won't release another album again because people in America don't give a fukk about 50 cents music. People from Australia or Iceland do though :mjlol:

Meanwhile Ross can still release albums unlike 50 cent :jawalrus:

That was 4 years ago dummy, the cat I was responding to was talking about today. And the numbers show that today there is more interest in 50 than Ross.

50 has double the monthly listens of Ross on Spotify TODAY. 6 mil vs 12 mil.

You'd think that with all of those albums Ross releases with majors backing him and big name producers and guests that he'd be able to drop a hit to match a couple of the loosies 50s put out independently :patrice:

Ross just released an album that did 100,000 with streaming.

Do you really think 50 cent can match that in 2018? There is a reason why he hasnt released an album since then :russ:
