If Rick Ross doesn't sell more than TM103 will it be considered a flop?

[William Bassington]

lol 103 not catching Teflon Don...

and Ross can only flop by selling drastically less than his previous albums which sold anywhere from 160-195k 1st week....if he comes out an do 180k, thats consistent

 

[CashmoneyHotBoy]

Hlaff: don't get shook now...u wuz in that other thread sayin ross had the streets on lock and mainstream on lock in all caps....now its "bu bu but its just about the quality y'all"

Shook?
I dont think you understood my post if he doesnt sell 10 albums why the f*ck would that matter to me if i like the album? I dont give a f*ck if people buy it or not that dont determine if its hot or not its gonna be alot of people rocking to it that dont have the money to spare.its gonna be people that have the money to buy it thats not gonna to buy it cause they just dont give a f*ck about supporting even if they do like it.

Nicki went gold
Drake went plat
Lil Wayne went plat the first week so in yall mindframe he must be the best rapper in the game. better than jay,ye,em,nas, and every other n*gga in the game

 

[Henry Chinaski]

yes but only because as of right now ross is much bigger with the general public than jeezy is

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Ross does his own promo for the most part


But anyway ill be buying the album tomorrow and im not guaranteeing anything but i think Ross will outsell Jeezy with this album, even without them holiday sales padding his numbers

 

[Piff Perkins]

I'm still shocked Jeezy did 230k. I don't see Ross doing 150k to be perfectly honest...

You're better than that breh. 103 has been out 6 months (released in December) and sits at 623,000. Teflon Don has been out for an even 2 years and as of May had 724,000 sold. You're telling me in 1 1/2 years Jeezy won't have sold that 100k difference?


What kind of argument is that? When did the imaginary, unprovable measurements of "people who bump his music like that" or "whips playing this song in the hood" somehow replace radio spins, album sales, and chart history? The album is past its release cycle, he's toured for it already, singles aren't coming out anymore so of course his music isn't getting bumped like it was in the winter and spring. When it comes to measuring relevance in ways that don't have to do with opinion, Jeezy's track with Ne-Yo did better than literally anything MMG's put out in the same amount of time. Better than anything on Rich Forever, Dreamchasers 2, Self Made Vol. 2 and GFID. Yeah, threadstarter definitely flip flopped when it came to Big Sean vs. Cole, but when you say things like Jeezy's done, then yes Ross will have flopped if he doesn't sell more.

I hear Jeezy's shyt at damn near every club I go to every weekend.

ross and jeezy both def jam. i def cant call this one. hold me back aint a pop single though. ross better drop another video before album drops

Yes, I'm telling you that...jeezy ain't some pop star that'll keep selling 6 digit amounts of records eight, nine months after release...jeezy is like 6 singles deep, selling 3k a week and bout to fall off the charts completely with 103 homie..it's likely not gonna make it to 670k within that time frame...or not much.more at all if it does...after the neyo single.dies, this album cycle is over

ross has to do between 250 K and 400 K to be considered decent to good. Anything below is below expectations. Anything above is is above realistic expectations!

 

[10:31]

I got him do 290K or 305K in week 1.
