I went to a Jeezy and Ross concert back in 08 this is when they were on tour together and weren't beefin yet. Them nikkas couldn't even get 3000 people in that bytch, i'll say it was probably around 2500 being generous. Eminem, Kanye, Jay Z, Kid Rock, Justin timberlake, Usher, Chris Brown, i'd say all them can do arena tours. I heard chris brown charges $50,000 just to walk through a club, Ross once got like $50 or $60 grand and still wouldn't perform can't remember the exact amount.
Wiz mighta pulled it off a few years ago
Where was the location? and Ross popularity in 2008 <<<<<<<<<<<<< Ross now

Actually all kidding aside Nas did headline O2 Arena (15,000-20,000) and Wembley Arena (18,000 with Damian) in 2013 and 2011 and I dont know if they sold out but they both sold. But hes bigger in Europe than in the US so thats expected. I reckon even Wu-Tang could do O2 if they tried. Weirdly enough Lil Wayne did a much smaller venue the HMV Forum (5,000) over 3 nights and only 2 nights sold out
Realistically though, across all regions and countries I think Only Eminem, Kanye and Jay-Z can (and with Jay it would have to be with someone which is what hes been doing)
Weird thing is as much as Arenas are the only place to go for money in music even big pop stars dont sell out and make money like they used to depending on the venues (Gaga, Beyonce and Madonna all had stories in recent years about doing oversized venues and stadiums and not fully selling out but they did get a big turnout still)
Music is more fragmented too. It aint like in the 80s where everyone had to get out to Texas Stadium to see Michael Jackson.
