Some boss. Ross is gonna go gold eventually which is great in this climate. Slaughterhouse just dropped a flop of an album quality wise and commercial wise, getting outsold by a Christian rapper named Toby Mac. So, I wouldn't talk.Niggaaaaa please. If you're going to act like MMG isn't one of the biggest names in Hip Hop, I'd have to question if you listened to it. Em, Jay & Wayne sell a million in a week.Whose going to buy a Slaughterhouse album? The only appeal was an Eminem feature & kids are just going to download that one song off iTunes. I'm considered a "stan" of the group & I didn't buy the album lol.Only person that believes that Ross is in the same league as those guys is Rick Ross himself. MMG is a fad like G-Unit and Dipset were. If this was 05 they'd be going platinum. But everybody knows that they won't last 5 years.

It's not that Jay-Z is getting people to buy his album that Rick Ross can't. Every fan of the genre knows them, Rick just ISN'T a boss.
Crooked I's clique is named Circle Of Bosses. Is he a boss ? Gucci Maine calls himself trap God. Is he ? It's just rappers being confident about themselves. Nothing new. I don't know why Rick Ross is such an exception. He has been calling himself boss since he got into the game. It's obviously his trademark phrase or whatever.
Expecting to go platinum ? By who ? Who in their right mind would expect an artist that never did platinum before all of a sudden, in this terrible climate, push platinum ? Other than of course, the MMG camp. Ross had the biggest first week sales of his career and he is 5 albums deep. That's a success. Critically it did good. Below expectations but far from bad. And one could argue again that those expectations were build by the MMG camp. Rick Ross is not capable of a classic album, that he always claims so.
