Ross smart. He don't go at artist straight up. He wait till fans and some of the industry against you.
Ross didn't go at Jeezy when Jeezy was red hot. He went at him when ppl thought Jeezy
fell off.
The things he said bout Birdman, he been felt that, but didn't say it till people were
taking Wayne side with Birdman not paying Wayne.
He went at Nicki the same way. When she was low n everybody was already
not fu#kin with her.
When the 69 character was out here w/ the Bloods, not a single peep. Ross waited till that boy snitched and subbed him.
50 was fried by the time Ross made up that fake beef. 50 was going against Interscope and Kanye had already dusted 50 two years prior
. Ross seen the perfect opportunity to move up and the funny part is - DTR album suffered.
That sh1t backfired. DTR was his lowest selling album up till that point. Back then, I thought Valley of Death and Mafia Music were good chess moves. Ross put together what I thought was his best album, went against Rap's antagonist, and still couldn't get a boost in sales???
Ross tried to capitalize on it and drop the Triple Cs album and that did even worse.
He had to drop that weak a$s Triple Cs sh1t and get new management - Puff. Puff rebranded Ross as the next BIG on the Angels sh1t.
Son survived going at 50.
This why 50 really hate Puff. 50 bitter over Puff keeping Ross alive. I remember Lil Kim was pissed too lmao. Puff managed both Ross n Nicki and made them the new BIG/Kim.
Puff even started his own supergroup called - The Supreme Team. People throwing around "Mase" and baby mother sh1t when this is the real reason 50 mad
Great times
