MMG Vol.1 sits at around 105k sold in its first month in stores.

Realistically thats probably the highest any member will ever do total. Triple C's did 12k so Ross dropped them ? and tried these new ? .

The fact of the matter is a gold selling rapper will NEVER EVER have a successful record label when they aint even that popular themselves.

My prediction is MMG will be shut down within the next 18 months due to financial constraints on Ross pockets.

    Yet it was half the radio play and half the exposure of Maybach Music Group did in promotion that they sold more in there first week than they have in 4 weeks....

    We not talking bout show money.... Labels dont see any of that unless it was a 360 deal...They aint moving units or enough for labels to get a profit of MMG

    True, I see what you sayin. But you honestly think Warner expected Self Made to do more than it did?

    and no one give a ? about any of them except for Wale. lol Isn't Stalley signed too, that's four ? plus that female r and b artist they have plus Triple C. Roc Nation has variety of artist not just INTERCHANGEABLE rappers. Roc Nation has released 3 albums to date and they all have had success and platinum plaques!

    That's false. Meek and Pill have ? checkin for them BECAUSE of Self made. Stalley is a different type of cat that will eventually be makin noise in the next 2 years mark my words. Dude also happens to have one of the best young producers in the game. Just because you don't WANT MMG to do well don't mean they won't.

    Meek Mill and Pill have ? checking for them, apparently not from those album sales, ? gonna be State Prop status. Stalley is cool with me, don't see him being bigger than Currensy who isn't even big himself.
