GFID Final #'s are in and...

I wonder why there is no Chart about TM103? it should be week ending 12/27, or some !!. Did Jeezy really sell 233k?

Young Jeezy's "TM 103: Hustlerz Ambition" debuts at No. 3 with 233,000 -- the rapper's fifth-straight top five set (his entire output, including the U.S.D.A. mix tape in 2007). His last release, 2008's "The Recession," started at No. 1 with 260,000.

so why did drake get a boost?

Jayz did it
TI did it
Eminem did it
Nas did it
Diddy did it
I can go on.....

You want me to list the albums and dates or can you atleast attempt to do your own research?


Why are people talking about "Jeezy had competition"? Is it somehow illegal to purchase multiple albums? Everytime I go holiday shopping I see damn near anybody, who's purchasing music, with a number of disc in their possession. The bull!! going on in this thread is insane.

Ross aint put his dogs on either. When Gunplay's album coming out? [pic]


And Jeezy already dropped a compilation album. USDA:Cold Summer. Another one on the way




And guess what? It sold more than Self Made [pic]

And you're a fool if you think Ross has only been in the game 6 years. Been in the game since the mid 90s He was pretty much a weed carrier on Slip N Slide [pic]

so now the sales of drake matter

um, how isnt a rap album that didnt go down during the holiday season, not relevant to the convo.

Drake sales actually went slightly higher than the week previous.

A mutanoid like you is still playing checkers.


Jeezy dropped his first album in 2001 and he still ain't built a solid enough team to put his dogs on...he plays checkers too.


Jeezy needs to drop a #1 compilation showcasing his artists

Jeezy needs to executive produce an album from one of his artists and watch it go Gold


Ross been on the game since 2006 and in 6 years out-hustled Jeezy as a CEO, he has a film division that does the bulk of videos/vlogs and a Latin division along with singers and reggae artists.



You talking about "platinum" and we talking about minority economic empowerment in the culture without even having to go platinum and crossover.



Chess not Checkers.

You classify Drake's album as rap? [pic]

classify whatever how you want to, it just shows how the season helped the album out.

Im done with the xmas !!. It helped, its a fact.

But GFID sold less than TM103, so far.

Lets see them 2nd week #'s though[pic]

ok say if i go with this slight sales boost theory. its not going to be a 50k jump. i'll spot you 20k. so jeezy sold 210 instead of 230

you mean to tell me that one artist who had a hard time even getting a release date for his album with a bunch of singles that didn't go anywhere sold almost just as much as

somebody that have all these songs on rotation. have every big name saying he was biggie or had a classic album. had a mixtape with million downloads. got another artist that did the same. had another album come out the month before to help the promotion

rick ross couldn't do that much better?

It's not so much of the holiday but the publicity he had at the time. Performing with Steve Wonder, beef with Common, performing at Monster Jam, performing in Times Square on NYE

Hey I personally dont believe the man sold 233k, but thats whatever, the # is what it is.

And because of the reasons you named above is why I think !!s funny a little bit.

Maybe it was the promo Jeezy did for 2-3yrs?

We also could look at it like this, HOW DID A PLATINUM LEGEND WHOSE LEGACY WILL BE BIGGER THAN ROSS, AND IS SO MUCH MORE REAL, only outsell Ross by 18k first week.

And Jeezy was home sleep?

Nah, Def Jam threw him a TM101 tour, !! even had Jay Z come out in concert in NY.

Cmon, yall people acting like Jeezy was in a beat up van, him and his homies just trying to make it, they was out there man.
