Ross a hip hop mogul, but he was never a big sellin artist like that, that nikka was gold or single platinum at best

Its like if Diddy went by himself on an arena tour, both famous, both rich - but he aint even gonna sell out the MSG by himself n thats his hometown


Now TI is surprising becaus he was the big dog for a while n he had crossover hits like whatever u like

Im guessin the market is oversaturated right now, theres a music fest every other weekend

It’s a random one off show in the IE from what looks to be some smaller promoter that bit off more than they could chew…pretty much that same lineup been touring as “Legends of the Streetz” all year…I’m sure they’ll touch LA county at some point or already have recently…they’ll be aiight, there’s more bags to get

They became a caricature of himself.

Real question...were they selling out arenas on their own at their peaks? :ld: Selling out arenas is no small feat. They are also in that purgatory zone. Not current but not quite legacy act yet either.

During the Paper Trail era T.I was doing arena shows as the headliner. I don’t think Ross or 2 Chainz were ever doing arena shows on their own.

Hoss ain't that popular with this new generation...


His last album sold way lower.


Def Jam was pooling money into him to keep him afloat.


He's a legacy act nowadays.

Pretty much...


He's not that interesting and has to constantly brag about his money in every damn verse.


I don't think the every day man relates to someone who constantly talks down on em.


Nigha was clowning cats for driving Honda Accords.
Rick Ross makes good music but the way nikkas talk about him here (especially when comparing him to 50) you'd think he'd be the one on tour selling out arenas

These cats learned from the pandemic to appreciate doin those shows....


That's how they eat and basically their main source of income



But yeah, no one is checking for Rawse and Clifford.




Maybe Ross will hit a snag with the new project with him and Meek.

Right...


I think the fans don't respect him for

1. Lying about something as mundane as being a prison guard

2. Ross brags about his money in 85% of his verses and u know cats aren't gonna support him thinking "Why should he get my money??"

3. Industry cats just tolerate him.
