WHY can't RICK ROSS go PLAT? Serious question

Its because Ross trusts his fanbase.

Ain't no platinum artists in 2012 putting out singles like this





That video was not meant to attract the white middle class buying demographic that y'all praise on here.

And ain't nothing pop about Touchin U, the sistas love it.

Ross is staying true to his fanbase and giving them the music they want. The Bawse dont got to sell out to sell records

If you think Rakim is less important to our culture than Vanilla Ice just because he went platinum and Rakim didn't then I can understand because you validate our artists based on sales while we validate our artists from a different perspective.


This is an industry were your Vanilla Ice went diamond-platinum so any value that you put on platinum sales is an indication of quality music is hilarious and shows your cluelessness in regards to the culture of HipHop.

Come on man, you comparing ross to Rakim now? come on now.


Rakim is about rhymes, ross is about money, he makes that well known, so for an artist that only talks about hustling, business and money, why cant this nig go plat?[pic]

If Rakim had as much promo/features as your !![..] lover Roberts

POINT OF THIS IS RAKIM IS A LEGEND

Roberts will never be that
