You Know ya boy 50 gonna hate on this. You know why? Because the beat is serious business, it’s got Rick Ross on it, and it’s gonna get madd spins on the airwaves.

Well, I guess the law will always win. Officer Ricky.

I must admit, 50 Cent just cannot stop Rick Ross. Hate him or love Officer Ricky, the dude is doing such a great job of dropping hot tracks and videos that people want to listen to. This video is probably the coolest video, except for the part with Diddy jumping around singing on Auto-Tune. Imagine being on the video set with him actually trying to sing, or lip-synching. That must’ve been awkward. Nevertheless, no music video without a proper advertising set for Ciroc will be explored by… The All Powerful Diddy.

Anything that Jeezy is on, I’m posting. I don’t give a shit if it got Officer Ricky on it or not.

That’s it guys. I wrote a blog about the artist record sales money breakdown a couple of weeks ago. Peep it: http://www.thedurtyversion.com/2009/04/29/rick-ross-and-his-158000-album-sales-lets-do-the-math/

Back to the scheduled program. What do you do when you sell 158,000 albums in your first week? Me? I usually double that dough in a cool week or so. As for “Munkey”, Officer Ricky? Well, he waddles his fat ass all the way to China town and cops fake Louis Vuitton sun glasses. Later he accepts a photo shoot from XXL magazine which will display on the May cover of the prominent magazine to show of his cheap sun shades.

Awesome! Aren’t you glad that super “rich” rappers can’t afford the real shit? Well, we know readers of ‘the durty version’ can cop the real shit, cause they chip game nicer than grandmothers. Lol. Lloyd Banks! As for a reference: http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=46026

The letter from the one and only, Michael D. Pantalony, Esq. I love it how the lawyer gets to the point and just plays him.

Let’s get this straight guys. Topping the billboard 200 for your first week in sales is sorta big, but let’s talk about relation. 158,000 sales is really, really weak compared to what people used to sell back in the day! I got this handy little book over here called, “All You Need To Know About The Music Business”, by Donald S. Passman. It basically breaks down the music industry, and is the bible for mostly everyone in the recording industry. Let’s talk about money. Most CD’s cost about $9.99. Right now Rick Ross’ album sells for $11.49 as CD and $8.99 as a MP3 download.  How royalties are calculated…. Well for the most part some awesome artists get 10 points for royalties. I would not imagine that Rick Ross even at his third album was able to negotiate a more aggressive deal than this. So let’s do the math, there is usually a 25% packaging fee that the record company recoups from the artist for pressing the CDs.

Retail CD: $11.49 (current cost at Amazon)

Less: Packaging (25% of $11.49): –$2.87

————————————————-

Royalty Base: $8.62 (Retail minus the 25% the record company is owed)

Let’s just assume that Rick Ross got a 15% Royalty. 15% of $8.62 is $1.29 per every CD sold. 158,000 (album sales) * $1.29 = $204,294.00. This is how much money Rick Ross would have made if he got a 15% Royalty. While that may seem good, I already told you, I seriously doubt Rick Ross gets even 10% a royalty. The sad fact is that his royalty is more or less around 7.5% to 8.5%. So back to the mathematics

8.5% of $8.62 is $0.73

158,000 * $0.73 = $115,766.60 (his first week income)

About a month or so ago, 50 Cent exposed Rick Ross’ chip game and showed the kid is in the red already based on his life style. So even if the kid may a note fifteen in his first week, I bet at least 30% of that has to go back to the record company for advancements. Let’s not forget how much is owed to his featured artists!

What I really want to know is why he keeps calling himself, “Boss”? Shots FIRED!!!

50 Cent is a goddamn comedian in disguise. He’s cut this nigga running through Walmart talking bout, “Bawse”. Shit is madd funny. You gotta see this shit when he gets down with the ho-down dance. Lol.

Damn Ross. You dun put Ja Rule on a track with you. Wow. You were doing alright by your own damn self. The only thing I like about this is the fact that The Game is on it, and the beat is damn fire.

Rick Ross is most definitely pushing his album in a hard way, and it seems like he is doing the right thing. He’s got a high definition video called Deeper Than Rap. Reminds me of the Wire with lil pookie; some young dope boys with a strong initiative to make it happen; but it’s supposed to be young Ross (yea right). Little yungin’ playing video games talking to his dope boy brother, meanwhile he comes in and get clapped. Little one is spared by some Ol G. I can sense the vengeance building.

The video is actually quite original as an idea for the beginning of a rap album. After seeing this, I feel slightly more confident that Rick might be able to market his album enough to get some sales and disappoint 50 Cent. I mean, he only has Rik Cordero who did the video and the shit is real as hell.

I am surprised that this song is pretty tough. Most of the tracks with T-Pain are on are pretty fly. Kanye and Lil Wayne has some shots thrown at them by 50 Cent, but went out the mature way and continued to do what they do best; make music. With this collaboration, I am sure 50 Cent will spit a few more shots towards Lil Wayne and Kanye, and will most definitely add T-Pain to his black list. It seems that 50’s approach while effective in some arena’s, will most definitely isolate him and his team. Neverthless, the track is phat. Get it.

While we’re at it, here are the other Maybach Music tracks, which are actually pretty tuff. Not a fan of Ross, but this shit is real shit.

You heard it. That’s the word from the fat lips of Rick Ross. This dude is most definitely retarded. What kind of idiots does he think we are. We know how Formula Fiddy does. You get him started, and he does not back down. Rick Ross apparently hasn’t heard The Massacre. Ross apparently put these words in an interview with TourchIsNy.com (interview with TorchIsNy.com), and said that one of 50’s employees made the $500,000 offer to Ross to end the beef.

History repeats itself and those of us already know 50 is a damn beast and is having a field day with Rick Ross. Ross has the unintentional habit of constantly feeding 50 with ammunition. I think his best option is to ignore 50 like Wayne.

“Telegram, telegram, telegram.” Apparently Wayne and Ross are teaming up with a track to battle the 50 Cent man. Good luck guys.

Sorry 50, but this beat is crack, and John Legend is tuff. Ross comes very weak with is one dimensional raps. Just listen and forget about the fact that Rick Ross is a lame duck.

Rick Ross has come out and publicly challenged formula 50 and stated he will outsell him with his new album ‘Deeper than Rap’. We all know 50 is very good at burying MC’s that challenge him, nonetheless one thing 50 isn’t good at is making people in the south more computer literate. It is obvious to me the reason album sales from southern rappers are better performing compared to their East Coast competitors, is directly related to East coast people and northern most people being more computer saavy.

I think this challenge presented by Ross is a good challenge, and there is a decent possibility he can win. 50’s  numbers have been decreasing in years, mainly due to him strategically betting himself against popular artists. Ross is not hott, but he does have a few great features on his upcoming album (Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Mary J. Blige, and Avery Storm). These artists alone may push Ross up the charts.

How it started:
on Saturday January 24, 2009, Rick Ross came out with "Mafia Music" taking shots at 50 Cent

"I love to pay her bills/can’t wait to pay her rent/Curtis Jackson baby mama/I aint askin for a cent/Burn the house down/gotta buy another/don’t forget the gas can/jealous, stupid muthafucka"

the rest is History..
50 Cent responded with "Officer Ricky (Go Ahead Try Me)" on Thursday January 29

Rick Ross went on radio the next day (Friday January 30) and gave 50 24hrs to come up with something better

50 Cent, before going To Venezuela, responded with "Warning Shot"

"Rick Ross Ima F*ck Your Life Up…For Fun."

MissInfo then released an interview of Rick Ross on Tuesday February 3
(This interview actually took place the Saturday before)
"This chat actually preceded the release of the infamous “Curtis and Tia go to the Furrier” video, but clearly, Rick Ross already knew that had happened because he refers to his baby mom’s shopping trip."

Wednesday Feb 4th

Story developing….

Saturday Feb 14th
Saturday Cartoons Presents "Officer Ricky: Everybody Hates Chris"

The feed of information never stops. With a pocket full of change, you can reach into all sorts of places, exposing whatever you want about an opponent.

I like the fact Fif gives us a little bit of financial education, ways to swindle your business with a greedy baby’s mamma. Much respect to Ed Lover for asking questions other than what’s surrounding the current shit talk situation. The public wants to know how you spend money, we want to know about the helicopter rides, we want to know the man behind the money.

I didn’t expect this buzz to pop off just because Ross didn’t like a glimpse that fif gave em. I never been much of a fan of Rick Ross, but I wil admit, he is kinda smooth with the flowing tip.50 always goes hard and never goes home. Below you got the Ross and the 50 retort.
