Not denying Ross had an epic run, but it's over. GFID underperformed when you look at where Ross was at the time. Remember, Teflon Don was sort of a surprise hit. He was selling alright before then, but that album made him That Dude. GFID was supposed to be his crowning moment though, and yet he couldn't find a hit record to save his life. I'd be all my coli cash that Ross won't go gold with Mastermind - he's now on that steady decline, just watch.

SM3 flopping will only further hurt his brand. Flooding the market with shyt only seems to work for Wayne and Drake these days. Ross thought he was on their level - hell, all three are constantly on the same track - but the numbers don't lie.


Why you talking out your ass? GFID underperformed but went gold? Teflon Don was a surprise hit going gold yet his previous albums all went gold?

nikka consistently doing the same numbers since he dropped

Can you compare Ambition and the gifted's sales decline. The Gifted didn't sell as many records as Ambition in week 1 and is declining or falling down the charts faster. Right?

So doesn't that decrease the albums chance at a resurgence without a strong follow up second single?

Rick Ross is signed to Def Jam as a solo artist
Ambition sold 164,000 first week.
The Gifted sold 158,000. About the same.

Jeezy is "Senior VP of A&R"...which is basically a trumped up title for a regular ass A&R that happens to be a known celebrity...there would be no conflict of interest there, cause it ain't like Jeezy has any pull or influence in the building for anything having to do with anything other than artists he brought to the label (speaking of which...in the 5 or how many months since he got the title...i don't know if such artists even exist, I can't name one)...
This.

You know how many "Senior VPs" there are in certain business organizations? That shyt is just for show.

Can we still bet coli cash on here? I will put all mine on the line saying SM3 will push 100k first week.


Self Made 2 only did 82 first week I think and that was with bag of money being a pretty good lead single.


I'm going wit 75K anything under is bad and anyting over 100k is a win.

People gotta realize its a compilation album them shyts aint selling like that.


If they can do 100k with no real single that would be a win.
