Rap-Up.com || Rick Ross Set to Make Big Debut with ‘God Forgives, I Don’t’

Rick Ross continues to make major moves. The Maybach Music boss is on track to put up big numbers next week with his fifth album.

God Forgives, I Don’t will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, according to early estimates from HITS Daily Double. Boasting features from Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, André 3000, and Usher, the critically-acclaimed set is expected to sell between 200-225,000 copies in its first week. Official figures won’t be released until Wednesday, August 8.

Rozay’s last album, 2010’s Teflon Don, moved 176,000 units in its first week. All of his albums have debuted at No. 1 with the exception of Teflon.

GFID is the latest in a series of hot releases from Def Jam. The label is fresh off a No. 1 with Nas’ Life Is Good album and held the No. 2 spot the previous week with Frank Ocean’s debut, channel ORANGE.

@OnOne, having an opinion ain’t hating. I just commented that his music sounds the same. You heard one rick Rosa rap you heard them all. Credit where credit is due.. the dude is building a good brand with maybach music. I just expeced him to shift half as much that’s all! Sheesh didn’t realise y’all in America is a fan of reductive hip-hop. Well each to their own!

@Hip-Hop Fiend, its called the digital revolution. The record labels didnt think it would happen and now they’re playing catch up.

@Hip-Hop Fiend, 200k is very good, and it was then as well. That would hardly get u dropped.

@Hip-Hop Fiend, yeah i remember that to when 200k was considered a flop, but that was 10 years ago, but now since itunes, illegal downloads,etc,. most people stop buying physical copies, they just download what songs they like from an artist and keep movin’ so this is a big accomplishment in 2012..especially for him

Really good album. Sixteen w/Andre’Stacks is hot. Diced Pinapples is another hot one. I pretty much lets the album play, all the music is really good. Rozay has never been known for his lyrical expertise, but that dude can make a beat. Love the album. I hate to say, it’s being bootlegged like crazy here in ATL.

I think these estimates are a little high myself. Let’s wait for the real numbers to come in.
