The only member of Gunit still on good terms with 50 is Yayo

What type of numbers an independently released 50 cent/Tony Yayo joint project doing right now if yall had to guess?

Yayo isn't charting. Similar to Banks.

50 would probably do 40-60k first week off anticipation of a return to music, but the next project would likely be 20-30k first week.

Talking US sales only before that Ukrainian 50 stan tries to reply to this.

I think it's a conflict of styles. Ross best sound is the luxurious cigar mafioso style beats but meek is too hype for that. Meek sounds best on some inspirational, eye of the tiger, workout style beats but Ross can't talk his shyt on that.

They do have good chemistry meeting in the middle sometimes but they used to have the rest of MMG to fill out the songs to keep it fresh but this isn't a MMG album
Never thought about it that way but that’s a good point. And at this juncture they kind of need each other still as funny as that may sound. A lead single also goes a long way I suppose

35K sounds just right for these two on an independent label in 2023.


I’m kind of interested in what Jeezy does next week. His album had 29 tracks and he got some good promo off that interview with Nia Long. Can Jeey crack 40k in 2023?

It reflects worse on Meek fanbase tho.. they have just kicked dude to the curb. Ross needs to go away altogether.
It just shows theyre legacy artist that are past their peak.

this is how the game goes. These dudoes got rich off rap, they not a nikka like joe budden

Legacy artist is an artist that is past his mainstream peak and your old music generates more money for you and the industry than than your new music

There’s no time table to it. Drakes new music is still in demand same with artist like Future and J Cole. They still get feature request from new artist

Most rappers don’t make it 10 years as “mainstream” artists. Drake, Cole, and Kendrick are still outliers in that regard.

Ross is a legacy artist at this point, maybe not Meek but he’s approaching that status

it would sell more if it was just ross. ross probably did meek a favor and couldn't say no. no one really checking for meek in 2023 at all.

Ross last album sold way less than Hood Billionaire...

Ross and Meek making that album made sense since folks thought they was beefin.

Ross has never sold well except for a few instances. He fools people into thinking he’s a bigger star than he actually is.

Jay-Z and Puff felt bad for Ross...both of them nighas don't like 50 and they didn't want 50 to do him like he did to Fat Joe so Jay kept giving him more verses than anyone else in the game.

Plus, Puff hooked him with many industry connections.

Drake carrying hip-hop on his back. :heh:

Drake has had the game in a cobra clutch since 2009 and hasn't let really up...

It's safe to say that he's a legacy artist nowadays.

He earned it.


Ross too considering that he outlasted his peers during that Florida run in Hip Hop.
