New estimates put Mastermind at 175k first week! Still a flop?

This. Ross predominantly makes his music for BLACK FOLK. He calls out crackas repeatedly thoughout his tape and isn't afraid to be disrepectful when he feels like it.
this is clear...he'll never be the safe negro Jay Z is....

Good god, Ross was a simplistic rapper back then. I guess I forgot :damn: He really stepped his bars up.



Doesn't even seem like the same rapper :damn:



If you listen closely to Ross's first album, he still had that CO voice. :mjpls:

Ross stepped up his game from his third album onwards. It was crazy what Ross went through and how he stayed on top.

Barely going gold in 2014 is better than not dropping an album in 5 years. :mjpls:

When was the last time Andre 3000 went gold and niqqas still worship him. Legend lives forever :pachaha:

Gold is a flop to 50 so he ain't comfortable in this actual market climate :yeshrug:

i never listened to this Rick Ross song before but from what i hear he steppped his bars DOWN cause this shyt is clean! sounds like he was rapping with more flare and energy back then.

Yeah that's pretty much Ross in his prime right there...there's nothing on Mastermind where he's rapping at that level....dude was saying how much ross improved on the mic from Port of Miami till now though...I think he started getting nicer, peaking around the time of Teflon Don/Self Made Vol. 1 and sh!t....and then came down a tad since then
