Let's see Ross do it for 15+ years and sell around 50 million worldwide in his career. Congrats on having the number one album, but you got a long way to go.
Rick Ross took it to Snoop hard head-to-head and while it's great to see a westcoast cat sit at #3, it just shows you the demise of Westcoast Rap in general when it's second biggest name behind The Game can't even debut at #1 anymore. Rick Ross made a complete quality album and that's why he is sitting on top. If you look at Ross's album, you can bang that straight through and it's got a real Florida sound to it. Ross also reps his territory to the fullest (i.e. "I am Mr. Miami") where Snoop is too busy trying to rep every other city to make a buck (i.e. him talking about hanging out in Atlanta, doing shows with Puff Daddy, and hanging out in Miami). Snoop tries to branch out because the facts are if he did a straight Westcoast album with all West appearances he's afraid it would not sell like he would want it to. I like the fact he put Too Short and Mr. Fab on that "Life Of The Party" because Short and him should have had a single years ago. But on the real, his album reminds me of Nelly before he hit the ground doing that country song with Tim McGraw and that "My Place" single. Sometimes an artist just needs to stick with what he does best, and Rick Ross did that on his new album. That "Speedin" track is amazing, "Boss", "Money Make Me Cum," "This Me," "Here I am", "Maybach Music" with Jay-Z, "Reppin My City." That's what Ross did, he repped his city, and Snoop tried to rep every other city. You can hear the Florida sound on Rick Ross' album but when you listen to Snoop's album you only hear the West Coast sound on 4 tracks or so ("Neva Have To Worry" was hot IMO). But on the real, the West needs to stick to being itself and I give The Game props for keeping it real. But Snoop needs to quit claiming "Boss," that title belongs to Rick Ross and he backed it up so Snoop should bow down after all the bragging he did about his album was going to be the best thing we've ever heard since Doggystyle.

this thread is stupidyou act like Snoop sold 100,000 and Ross sold 1,000,000talking about the demise of "West Coast" rap... Ross barely sold more than Snoop, if there's any demise it's music in generalthis has nothing to do with the South being more dominant than the East, West or North
