Yea, 2 Chainz probably selling about 130K and that's a high estimate.

Who really cares about a first week, geek?

This is a marathon not a sprint, they don't remove your album from shelves after the first week, you go on tour and drop visuals until the project runs it's course.

Ain't you that kid that didn't know what "Hot" meant? I was the one that schooled that HOT is when you are #1 on the charts and your team is #23......that's Hot.

I didn't think 2 Chainz was gonna sell like that either until No Lie went gold. His singles are doing a hell of a lot better than I expected. That damn Birthday Song stays in the air waves out here.

He probably won't out sell Ross because of the push like you said but I don't think there's any denying that 2 Chainz is the hottest rapper out right now...

Desperate people will say it's a "loss" for Ross but an intelligent person will ask the question why a platinum artist like Jeezy could only muster 15K more first week than a Gold artist.

...or we could compare Jeezy's 4th album to Ross 4th album and discuss why Teflon Don outsold TM103 by 100K.

If we really want to crush feelings and break hearts we just point to the fact that Ross just did 215K with a #1 solo album and another 14K for the Self Made Vol 2 compilation that's #23 on the charts.

We can go the reasonable route or take the delusional path and say it's a loss.

No.A reasonable person wouldnt waste their time comparing this !! because they would realize there are too many variables.

I could get deeper into some of the reasons this shouldn't be a comparison but I don't feel like typing up an essay for niccas to not read lol.Yall gon do what yall do regardless of what I say anyway.I'm smart enough to know that.It gives yall sumn to do I guess.

Just like what you like & ignore everything else.How hard is that?

Its not changing reality. niccas who dont like ross anticipated his sales more than his own fans did. Carry on nicca.

....Please Show Me The Chart On How Many "White Fans" That These Artists Got? Don't Worry I'll Wait....

To Say The Hood Don't Buy Music Is A Old Excuse Now. They Support Who They Want Too Now Days, Why You Think Rappers Do More Mixtapes For The Streets Before They Drop A Album? They Want That Hood Approval & Support When A Album Drop.

We Can See Who The Hood Supports When These Artists Do These Vlogs (Video Blogs), Its Simple But This Battle With This Is...."niccas was for certain that ross would beat jeezy this time." Yeah Its 2012 Aint !! Changed But Tell That To The niccas That Have High Hopes.

Only Thing niccas Got Is Ross Is More Relevant Than Jeezy But From These Results. He Should of Sold More Than The One That Isn't Relevant. I Mean Damn...Isn't Ross More Relevant J. Cole? What Happen?

Thats actually a good number in general, but Ross puts himself in a position a lot higher than he actually is, so thats definitely a loss.

You sayin you don't care doesn't change the fact that you dropped a bunch of unproven facts to try & support Ross(Jeezy having more white fans,Ross more relevant,Ross making more money)

You live in his back pocket or what?

So Jeezy sold 10k more, during a holiday season, and he won? Hilarious. Let his next joint drop in July-August, do more than GFID, then we can crown him. Ross may go the rest of his career without a platinum album, but truth is, so will jeezy. His platinum album days are gone.

adele STILL on that !!in list [pic]

08-07-2012, 03:45 PM

def jam can control when 2 put an artist out dumb[..],thats why ross neva comes out in nov. or dec. or with other competition cuz they know he'll fail miserable..he still cant sell platinum with no road blocks for months except for the fact that he's a habitual liar and people/fans dont support nor respects fake !!, just his ear for beats and his music but not enough for him to go platinum...people will ride 2 it and bootlegg but wont support it..im stupid and a fool cuz ross cant get 250k in a week with no competitors its a marathon but he never has achieved a platinum plaque in 7-8 marathons

08-07-2012, 03:47 PM

why everybody using the holiday season as the only reason. common couldn't even break 70k and he didn't even have the best sales that week

Holiday War. Drake, Rihanna, Lil Wayne and Others Was Still Racking Up Sales During This Time and Jeezy Managed To Squeeze Out On Top.

First of The Month Release Too (There Go The Hood Supporting)?

Just stop or we will have to do an avi bet were you out your face in your avi.

Ross music is for the Summer, it's the soundtrack to our block parties, cook outs, and
get to gathers.

All you freaks sound like a broken record talking about "platinum", maybe some artists ain't meant to crossover into your demographic maybe our artist are happy being urban artists and not crossover artist.

We salute the success of our brother while you turn red in the face and try to turn his victory and best first week into a E-loss because his first week wasn't better than a platinum selling artist.

You devils are sick.
