He has his fanbase and lane just like Boosie, Yo Gotti, Gucci, Future etc have there's...just cause you aint going plat dont mean you aint gotta fanbase that fukk with yo music..

in the south those are the hottest dudes out but will they ever move units probably not but the hood fukk with them and they get show money..

Ross improved with every album he dropped he showed growth sound wise/lyrics i respect his grind.

and thats the problem
dats like jay-z having da same fanbase as fabolous
hes a mainstream artist who has da fanbase of a b- level rapper
everything songs good in da club when your drunk and tryin to get bytches so yall ppl gonna rock to it there.
and yeah u gon blast him in da whip during da summer time cause da guy has tunes
but his core fanbase is weak
and i think its because no one knows who he is
everythings a super fantasy or a movie

I think the CD Sales = fanbase equation is very loosely correlated in this day and age. People put wayyyyy too much emphasis on CD sales ad I have no idea why

So doing records with Drake, Andre 3000 & John Legend is shunning the white dollar?


Ross fans say a lot of silly things. It's hilarious to see them this flustered though.

why would any of us be flustered by dude dropping the best album of 2012 (so far)?

exactly.


it made sense yrs ago but in this current era, album sales mean very little. there's youtube rappers going on tour off their 5+ mil viewed videos that haven't sold one retail album.

Rick Ross has a white fan base, there is no way he would make the Rolling Stone front cover if he didnt. Only a few get to grace the Rolling Stone Magazine front cover.

Nas has never been on it, and his been in the game like 20 years.

Im glad you called me out.

For one, TM103 is Jeezy's worst effort, no arguments to be made. Songs like '911' and 'Hold Me Back' are songs that got criticized due to their sound, the reality is the majority of Jeezy's album sounds like that. The production was lackluster to say the least. Ross' production is atleast 10x better, and thats being nice. Lyrically it doesnt compare, Ross is just a better rapper at this point, on this album he displayed better all around MC skills. Go back to Triple Beam Dreams, and listen to his verse, he's become very cinematic and his vocabulary is far more advanced than Jeezy's. Songs like Rich Forever and Ashamed display this.

who died and made ur opinion the gospel? :huhldup:

the fact some trash nikka like 2 chainz is at #2 reduces that site's credibility to zero. future at 1? :pachaha: 2 chainz' album isn't even going to sell as much as ross' did in the first week. come on.
