I love Ross as an artist.

Im.just calling it like i see it.

not for the hype that was built around ross between the release of TD and GFID

somebody itt said real ninjas dont buy albums

When you got 100 million in your bank account then can't be too much flopping going on

Again he dropped Rich Forever that same year for free

hiphopdx.com/news/id.39953/title.rick-ross-port-of-miami-album-goes-platinum
The first Port Of Miami actually went platinum years later but Deeper Than Rap/surviving 50 is when he started getting taken more seriously as a top rapper

How do you know how much he has in his bank account?

Go back and listen to Mastermind sir

Oh, you one of those type niggas lol.

I bet you believe Wakanda's a real place too.

Yessir

RIP Chadwick

Great album

dropping rich forever was one of the mistakes in his rollout imo

he shouldve just released 1 cohesive album

he had the hype and the music to make a great album that ppl would hold in high regard like TD or higher

instead he released 1 mixtape that trap fans like and 1 album that even fewer ppl like

maybe it was a bit chaotic behind the scenes cos he had to manage mmg at the same time

but he damn sure didnt need to release a mixtape to create buzz or anything like that

There was no mistake

Ross ran 2012

That album produced 0 top 10 singles.
And they tried 4 times.

What does this mean?

Ross and MMG still ran 2012 lmao

you might not like this but globally nicki had the best year in 2012

and kendrick dropped the defining album

Nicki was doing popstar s***

Kendrick was just really entering mainstream with Swimming Pools so no with that one

In Hip Hop Ross and MMG ran 2012

Nicki, Kendrick and Ross had the top 3 1st week sales for a Hip Hop album that year.

Nicki and Kendrick both went platinum multiple times with those albums.

Ross only went Gold.

You're talking about the longevity of those albums

I'm talking a single year

Ross and MMG ran 2012

MMG had a good year.

But GFID underperformed and showed Ross wasnt on the same level as a Jeezy or a TI.

yeah

and ross was supposed to be raps next crossover but he didnt come through as said before

Y'all really don't understand the definition of flop and it's why trash threads are steadily created

Crossover to what?

That's not true at all

He never broke through like Jeezy or Tip.

TI was doing pop s*** with Justin Timberlake and Rihanna

THIS IS FACTS

Ross the only “non superstar” rapper of all time to run a year
