While Rick Ross‘ Deeper Than 50 Cent did hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200, some say the numbers were weak.
“150,000 is not a lot of copies sold on a major [label],” MTV.com reader Eagles36 wrote in. “Fifty did 691,000 his first week. Rick Ross is a joke.”
For the record, Deeper Than Rap’s first-week numbers aren’t far off from his first two LPs, both of which went in at #1. Last year’s Trilla pushed 198,000 copies in its first week, while his 2006 effort Port of Miami sold 187,000 out of the gate.
