ross is in the top 10 of forbes highest paid rappers of the past year. he doesn't need to go plat, obviously, since he has other avenues of money that a lot of these other rap nikkas don't have.
What is Ross lacking??

name me the "nikkas with nothing on the airwaves" who are outselling ross?
Uhhhhhhh, Nas, Jeezy, Lupe, TI will sell more, would not be suprised if Meek sold more and that would be the icing on the cake. Personally, I dont pay attention to sales, I just see you nyggas talk about them and it will catch my eye then.

Says the same type of nygga that would shyt on 50 for not selling, but choose to not acknowledge the fact that he makes the most money outside of hip hop. Damn you nyggas are fickle as fukk..... So for Ross its OK, but for 50 its a fall off, even though he has wayyyyyyyyyyy more successful ventures than everybody not named Puffy and Jay?????????????

what the fukk are you talking about? when have i ever said ross had more money than 50? or puffy? i said he made himself into a boss, and now he is on the path to get to their level. you're stupid if you don't see he's definitely making money as a boss.

Thats why I said "type", it was not a direct shot at you bruh, I dont know you my dude, I cant label you without visualizing it my nygga. I was not talking about cash either, but a bunch of nyggas would shyt on 50 for the same thing you are propping Ross up for.
Hey the post is called what is Ross lacking, not how much money he earning. What he's lacking is clearly platinum albums. For having the pres of def jam south behind you, and the machine pushing u, u should b a top earner on forbes. But the fact he can't go plat wit all da promo n hype, is kinda pathetic.
When Luda had the def jam south machine behind him, he was pushin out units. n for all da hype n praise ppl r giving Ross for his label, i still havent seen meek or wale do ne numbers inless u counting free mixtape downloads on datpiff, lol.
If Ross was fully on bad boy records n nt jus for management, i bet Diddy would have ross goin double plat easy.

lol thats my point. These anti-ross fanatics cannot find any source of boobie saying ross is lying about being affiliated with them. NOT ONE . Ross had real drug dealers all in that hustlin video. People like hexagram23 like to make up bullshyt and pretend there's valid proof of anyone out of kenneth black's camp dissing ross but theres no proof of it. Ross was fukking with poe boy, lynch mob,boobie boys, etc before he was even a rapper but these curtis, jeezy and shady stans who hate ross so much ignore facts. Ross is authentic. Yeah he took a rappers name. But it was only for entertainment. Just like nore, capone,biggie( frank white, biggie smalls), beanie sigel, 50cent, mgk,tupac(makeveli),dr dre, nas(nas escobar persona), kool g, scarface did it but no one says shyt. These hypocrites kill me with their shyt. It still dont change the fact that ross was a certified street nikka pushin weight prior to his success and nikkas in miami know it. Regardless of what these anti-ross stans stay, ross is as real as it gets. Plus he gives other nikkas shine and put money int heir pockets. Thats one of reason jeezy's backed off of ross. He threw a stone at ross then hid his hand. Ross got real goons backing him and jeezy know it as well as a bunch of rappers in the industry.the REAL reason why nobody from boobie came at ross is cause he aint lying about being down with the crew. You cannot claim affiliation with dudes like this without putting in work with them or you will get exposed

Soul Survivor was a top 5 hit and of the biggest hits that year. You'd be surprised how many people actually know that song.
Luda also had mainstream hit after mainstream hit.

The article they're talking about exists...they just warp the fukk outta it to fit their argument...two of the dudes were mad Ross was in videos hyping up the Boobie Boys shyts with shirts and all that because they thought it could hurt potential appeals...he had some people go see Ross to talk him about, he told them he had the go ahead from Boobie himself and they basically had to fall back and just be mad about it...they leave out the fact that they also acknowledge Ross was in their words "the homie" and specifically Boobie's man

The main thing he is lacking is songs by himself. He always has features. It just comes like he can't carry an song or a full album by himself.
