Rick Ross - Mastermind ~ has sold less than 400k - was this album a #fail?

[b@squ1@t]

Best selling rap album of 2014.

And he didn't need to perform on daytime Caucasian television or throw bad pitches for publicity to do it.

If being number 1 in your genre is a fail then I guess he failed

you really are obsessed

real shyt id like to know why you hate 50 so much

even i can admit ross does his thing..

 

[VanVanCity]

No, those are good numbers in this market

 

[b@squ1@t]

and when i say 2nd tier rapper thats not a diss

em jay drake kanye are top tier

 

[Truth Hurts]

best selling SO far this year and hasnt gone gold (and probably won't). shytty year in hip hop, period!!!! Ross had the best album in the shyttiest first half of hip hop ever.

Thankfully, once jeezy, wayne, yo gotti, and k lamars albums drop Mastermind will be an afterthough

 

[b@squ1@t]

id like to know why you worship 50 so much

he reminds me alot of my murdered best friend and i respect the fukk outa the struggle and overcomin shyt when he shoulda been dead a long time ago and bein blackballed by the whole industry and becomin worh hundreds of millions and i love his fukkin attitude towards anybody that steps up

and the violence is so real especially when ive had dude's heads blown off all over me and been covered in blood and brains and had to pick pieces of skull out of my hair

 

[b@squ1@t]

and the music is fire

 

[JayBaldacci]

inb4 mic capes and compares it to 50s mixtape

50's last album wasn't a mix tape.

I think he could've sold more if he scored some hits but it wasn't t a flop at all.
Given the market, nearly 400k is a pretty nice number. I don't think that there's many rappers from previous generations that can do those numbers.

By July this year it held that:
From 2014, there's only 5 albums that have gone gold, excluding Beyonce and Frozen Soundtrack(2013 albums) we have 3!! Albums that went gold in all genres.

 

[Cynic]

It's a good album. We aren't in 2000s anymore. Lets focus on music fukk what white people are buying

They buy the most. So wtf are you talking about ? :pharrell:

[mozichrome]

since i care nothing about sales
mastermind was a solid cd, was it better than his last try gfid....no

 

[JCalli]

fukk the numbers, this album is a fail period.

Same monotonous boring ass duckdales. It's not hate, I was bored as he'll listening to this album.

It seems he kept his core fans happy tho

 

[Da King]

400k >> 40k (with 12 videos and a national tv performance)

 

[strictlystreet]

Jeezy going gold.
