Irv Gotti explains why Rick Ross should've signed with him over Jay-Z

d.green

Old but never saw it...he said RR would not go plat with Jay. To this day i dont RR has ever went plat.
not that many do these days though.

However, i am sure RR is happy with his decisions.

Do you want a micro manager who could possibly not give you control of your music ... Or a care free dude who doesn't help you when you need,it but let's you be a artist

i agreed with everything he said btw what is ross biggest selling album

RawAce

didnt the feds freeze Murder Inc's funds and thats how the ball stopped rolling?

If so, Ross was right not goin over there

plus, Ross being Ross and building his own brand, that wouldnt have been good for him. He woulda been building MI instead of MMG

IMO i don't think he would have MMG if he went with Irv

niggaz act like ja wasnt runnin rap for a couple years

I think Ross is doing ok. Ross used the Def Jam lane to open up door for himself . At the end of the day its not about the deal , its about the hustle and what u do with that deal

ROSS MOST DEF SHOULD HAVE WENT PLAT BY NOW...

HIS SONG BMF DIDNT EVEN GET HIM A PLATINUM ALBUM...

JA HAS LIKE LIKE 3-4 PLATINUM ALBUMS??

I agree Ross should have at least 1 plat ablum , but u cant really compare him to Ja though , When JA was going plat it was a whole different time , also JA appealed to a larger more diverse audience that Ross

Irv lost that midas touch a long time ago...if Ross would've hooked up with him, his career would be in limbo like JaRules

lmao @ lames tryna rewrite history from 98-03 the 5 biggest acts in hip hop was DMX, Ja, Em, Jay and Nelly

Irv may have gotten him plat but Ross may not have had teh same platform to build his own brand and have his own Artist.... At the end of the day Ja was Irvs artist. He never built his own shit afterwards... The Feds could be the reason why but it still is what it is... Ross is happy to be where he is so no use of goin back in history.

Port of Miami. It's sitting at 857k. Trilla's at 700k. Deeper Than Rap is at 439k. Teflon Don is at 724k.

Some of those aren't up to date. DTR's last mention is from 2010

Ross is having a Fat Joe career... Doesn't sells the most but can make a hit and stay relevant...judging from Joe and Jay that's a better route to go then to go diamond...

yeah, slow and steady wins the race. I'd rather sell a couple mill on each album than peak with the first album and then go downhill *cough* 50 cent *cough*
