Do you expect NAS new album to outsell ROSS new album?

ROFL____GUY

ROSS - the hottest rapper in the game.. RIGHT??????

NAS -- old, irrelevant..

What will this show when NAS outsells the hottest nrapper in the game?(NAS has a consistent gold+ fanbase)

you think that sound crazy.. look @ there numbers for there past 3 solo albums... ROSS isnt a top tier rapper and will be outsold by somewhone who the majority of hip-hop fans think is irrelevant in 2012...


Ross fans need to except that hes not a A list rapper and never will be..



****NAS*** has been featured on records with wayne and ross.. youngins are AWARE OF NAS NOW.. that will only help him

Prolly not, Nas dont got the buzz Ross has, but anything can happen. That being said, Nas's album will definitely be better.

antarticp

never say never but yeah for as widely known and heard ross is yeah that would suck .... but then again this is nas ... this guy has sold multi platinum in his run ... now if KRS-1 comes out and outsells the kid ... rozay just give it up LOL

CertifiedRiders

Rick Ross will defo out sell Nas.

CertifiedRiders

Looking forward to Ross new album tho, ain't liked a Nas album since Stillmatic.

i could see it going both ways. if ross doesn't have a hot single then GFID could flop, nas will atleast get close to gold if not gold. but i gotta go with ross cuz his buzz is so strong right now that he could shit on a record and go gold. nas gotta come with the hottness to sell big numbers.

if he does it will be no more than 100k..

point of this thread is that..

NAS is on the same level in 2012 saleswise as ROSS.. provin ROSS isnt one of the big boys in hip-hop saleswise

nas is 20 years in the game and still making great music. he wont be irrelevant till he hangs it up.

nas will never be irrelevant.. i just wrote that because we got some dumb ass youngins who beleive tha shit.. think ROSS is the greatest..

To be fair, Nas hasnt dropped a solo album since 08, when sales were a lot better, so we cant act like we know what to expect. Ross has a formula for consistent gold, so as long as he sticks to that, hes good. Wale did good #s behind Ross, so Ross might do good on his own.

MC The Rapper

I mean Nas need to sell like a muthafucka for real Nas need to come out with a dub step record you see this niggas tax debt shiiiiittttt. That nigga need to make an R&B album for real and if you a true nas fan you better cop 3 copies

ROFL____GUY

i think NAS can make it to PLAT with his next album..

the climate in hip-hop right now is more accepting of real MC's with skills.. i think it will be his highest sellin album since GODS SON

i really don't focus on numbers but hell no

People forget Nas's ability to bring a track like 'I Can' that'll literally propel him through the charts.

The fact that Nas has been very artistic since Streets Disciple only creates a wonder as to what type of single Nas will bring with his project - Life's Good.

In terms of music, I'm sure Nas will deliver by some way over Ross.

In terms of sales, only Nas and his label should really be caring of this given his recent publicised issues with the tax office. Certainly not his fans, support the music that you like and enjoy it.

Nas' recent performances have everyone excited… I'm looking forward to LG, no doubt.

will blax

i think its a possibility that Nas might outsell Ross in first week, but not overall. Ross is hot but Nas has a more solid fan base

For Nas to do those type of numbers, he will need to bring that energy from his guest spots over modern top notch production. Nas doesn't disappoint lyrically, creatively, and conceptually, but his execution, beat selection, and what he chooses to put on the album is now more important than ever.

A song like "Nasty" is cool, but imagine Nas going in over some J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Lee Major (The Inkredibles), Arthur MacArthur (he produced the Tyga joint feat. Nas called "Kings and Queens"), Boi-1da, and Mike Will productions. Balancing that sound with some Alchemist, DJ Premier, Just Blaze, Salaam Remi, and Large Professor production would be crazy.

Nas doesn't have to outsell Ross, all honesty it really doesn't matter at this point...Nas will sell a modest amount of records and it will be all good...but don't get it twisted, I hope he does outsell Ross

L3NU

if going against ross...nas will lose in record sales just like he loses in everything else


nas lost

illedout

Nas can go gold with no promo..
