If your not Wayne Jay-z Drake Em or Kanye u not gonna sell 400-500 thoushand copies nowadays. Ross has always been a gold selling rapper and i expected nothing different with this release. It ain't like he got a top 10 billboard hit out or ever had. He knows his lane and stays in it. 50 fukked the game up when it became all about first week numbers. When back in the day it was all about ur album working its way up the charts and constantly getting numbers. Nowadays an artist might sell 200k his first week and then go gold. Where as at one point in time an artist might debut in the top 20 and gradually works his or her way up.

Jeezy dropped in December when people are purchasing gifts. It is thee biggest month of the year for retail sales across the whole board. Much different than the first week in August.
But in the same breathe Jeezy had competition from Drake and Common around that time regarding album sales during the holidays and he still managed to do better numbers than Ross who had no competition last week.

Valid response but Take Care dropped a full month before Jeezy did. That isn't exactly right next to each other in Hip Hop time frame but I wouldn't say it didn't have an effect.

Common tho? Meh. He isn't a big enough name to effect other peoples sales like that.

Nothing is funnier than nikkas acting like TM 103 was the ideal stocking stuffer this past holidays. lol@Santa throwed off that Cali kush and Henny, candy paint sleigh sitting on dubs putting a Jeezy CD under the tree.

Edit:

And what makes some of y'all think you can spend two fukking years saying a guy is the hottest in the game and shyt on Jeezy and then catch feelings when cats clown his numbers? Trust, if y'all had just kept it about music the whole time nobody would be clowning. nikkas don't hate Ross, they hate his stans.
