The consistency in Ross's albums and sales says a bit about his music as well, although I fukk with it it's a bit too "formula-based".
All his albums do the same numbers first week, total sales and as of lately practically got the same type of "proportions" of similar sounding songs.

Nonetheless, the album was dope and It's great that he keeps on going strong dude is 38 this year :wow:

Good numbers for Ross without a big single or big buzz. As others have stated...Ross has proven to be a lasting artist with a solid, supporting fanbase. I'm not a huge fan of Mastermind (very solid album tho) but Ross makes dope music. He deserves it.

Whether you like Ross or hate him, you have to respect what he put into his music formula. He's not a groundbreaking artist by any means, but what he has done is developed a music formula with multi-generational, multi-regional appeal. He stepped his bars up so that he's too lyrical to be another cookie cutter southern swag rapper. And his sound is radio-friendly and catchy enough to get the fans of YMCMB and all the current trendy stuff, but still street and lyrical enough to appeal to people in their 30's who used to listen to Biggie, Pac, Wu, etc. There's a reason why everyone from Drake to Raekwon fukks with dude. And he shows love to everybody and all eras. That's enough to build a fanbase that checks for your album every time one drops regardless of buzz and hype.

Not bad for a fat former C.O. who's pushing 40. :salute:
