Too Good To Be True

Fabolous Uses 50 Cent and Rick Ross’ Feud To Discuss 1st Week Sales

by

Fabolous has weighed in on 50 Cent and Rick Ross’ ongoing feud to discuss the lack of clarity when it comes to first-week sales in the streaming era. His comments come after 50 Cent remarked, “If you sell 31,009 CDs, I shouldn’t talk to you,” referencing the underwhelming debut of Ross’ collaborative album with Meek Mill, Too Good To Be True.

“I have no dog in this fight but y’all do know 31k in sales is 46,513,000 in streams right?” Fabolous wrote in a comment on Instagram. “1500 streams = 1 unit. Low numbers in 1st week sales only could be judged in a physical era. EVERYBODY is streaming music through DSP’s now. I’m sure there’s a few people who actually buy the product but not enough to care over streaming anymore so why is this low sales number narrative still being pushed? My opinion isn’t based on 50 or Ross. I’m discussing the sales/streams conversation. My point is valid for any sales/stream talk. Not just Ross & 50. Y’all missing the point.”

Rick Ross eventually responded to 50 Cent’s criticism, ranting on social media: “Just got a DM say, ‘Rozay, we believe 50 Cent just made a comment about you online’. I seen it and I said, ‘Y’all don’t know 50 Cent like I do. He wouldn’t do that.’ For one, his b*tch Dream Chasers. She been a Dream Chasers bitch for many years, still is. That’s when she told me I was her favorite. For two, n***a, we been rich! We still getting money. Them n****s was laughing at my first-week sales. Them n****s was doing a million first week and I did 150, 180 [thousand] and they was laughing but…You smell that saltwater, right? Don’t let them n****s trick you.”

Meek Mill Claims He Makes $1 Million Per Song And $62K Per Bar, Fans Are Skeptic

by

In a recent Instagram post, Meek Mill dropped a bombshell on fans. He asserted that he makes a staggering $1 million per song and a jaw-dropping $62,500 per bar. The Philadelphia rapper didn’t mince words. Instead, he proudly proclaimed his success in the industry and scoffing at the notion that rap is a dying art. In the Instagram post that set social media buzzing, Meek Mill declared, “I’m getting a million a song … so that’s 62,500 every bar I speak…. They say this rap s**t dying must be on billboard because it’s not to Meek!” The bold claim left fans both awestruck and skeptical. Social media was quick to call out the claims.

While many fans congratulated Meek Mill on his apparent financial triumphs, others were quick to express doubt. One Instagram user humorously commented, “Same n***a that asks for a discount at a shoe convention,” alluding to the contrast between Meek’s alleged million-dollar bars and real-world frugality. Another skeptic chimed in, stating, “Meek is LLLYYYYYIIIINNNNGGGG. Ain’t nobody paying a mill for them bars.” The sentiment reflects a common skepticism among fans, who question the authenticity of such lofty claims in an industry where exaggeration is common.

A post shared by No Jumper 🏀 (@nojumper)

Comparisons were drawn to other instances in the rap world where artists were accused of stretching the truth. One fan pointedly referenced Snoop Dogg, saying, “@meekmill lying like @snoopdogg did when he said he was done with ‘smoke.’” The comment alludes to the widespread skepticism that often accompanies bold statements in the world of hip-hop. Earlier today, it was revealed that Snoop Dogg’s post to “quit” smoking weed was just an ad. It turned out that Snoop was just partnering with Solo Stove to promote their smokeless fire pit products.

However, as Meek’s post circulated and fans debated the legitimacy of his claims, fans questioned his authenticity. While some may view Meek’s bold statement as a flex of success, others remain unconvinced. As the debate unfolds, Meek Mill’s Instagram revelation adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing narrative of wealth and success in the rap game. In other news, Meek recently collaborated with Rick Ross for their new joint album Too Good To Be True. Have you listened yet?

Joe Budden Shares Harsh Take On Meek Mill & Rick Ross’ “Too Good To Be True”

by

Joe Budden says Meek Mill and Rick Ross had nothing interesting to say with their new collaborative album, Too Good To Be True, and labeled it a “money-grab.” He shared his opinion on the project during the latest episode of his podcast.

“Meek and Ross, that was all over the place,” he said. “It’s cool loud. If you turn it all the way up, it’s cool. I love the Wale record on there, I love that record. It’s a few more records on there I love. I love all the records that are three minutes and 40 seconds long. There’s a lot that’s not that long — they’re shorter. When they do that, whatever they’re talking about jumps out on the track to me.”

He continued: “Them n****s ain’t talking about nothing. They ain’t said nothing on that whole project. Not a word, not a thing […] It was a money grab, for sure. I don’t think [there’s] nothing wrong [with that] — they got the money. When I hear Ross and Meek, it’s classic time for me. So this was cool, but my bar for them is high-high.” Budden isn’t the only one with a negative response to the project. 50 Cent recently trolled the two rappers for the album’s low sales. Check out Joe Budden’s full comments on the project below.
