Young Jeezy's buzz right now seems cold to me, even with his recent mixtape and "Ballin" single. And Rick Ross, well
he's everywhere, mainstream radio and poppin up on random albums here and there, makin loads of guest appearances.
Add on to the fact that Young Jeezy is releasing ANOTHER mixtape before his album (probably) comes out, and it
seems like Ross is winning right now.

Another thing, how would you compare their 1st 3 albums head to head?

1) Port of Miami vs Thug Motivation 101

2) Trilla vs The Inspiration

3) Deeper Than Rap vs  The Recession

And while we're at it....

4) Self Made Vol. 1 vs Cold Summer
 
TM101  >>>> >>>>> Port of Miami


Yea Jeezy just can't make a banger to save his life right now. Plus Jeezy is trying to do it all by himself and not let his boys get some shine or drop bangers to keep the USDA brand poppin. Ross whole team got club bangers. Jeezy won't get behind his team for nothing.
 
alot of yall slept on Port of miami, dont say ">" "< " just to say it.
 
Port of Miami did have plenty bangers on it (Hit U From the Back, Push It were my faves), and I thought it was
less repetitive than TM101, but that "Trap or Die" song with Bun B >>>>>
 
101 > Poa

Didn't listen to Trilla or The inspiration

DTR > > > Recession

Self made > Cold Summer

MMG > > USDA
 
Ross is so far ahead of Jizzle RIGHT NOW, they shouldn't even be in the same planet.

BUT, Jizzle has been droppin' alot of music and gaining momentum so he has a major change of reclaiming his lane again. Watch out for that "Real is Back 2"

I still remember senior year of highschool, my boy was going to best buy asked if I wanted something. Told him to swoop me that Port of Miami, dude shook his head and was like, really? Dude is the biggest ross fan now too smh.
 
Ross is in Jeezy's lane though.  Jeezy is gaining his buzz back though it seems. I never understood why artists are sooo quick to want an album release date without 
a significant buzz.
 
TM 101 >>>>> *



I dont respect you if you think otherwise.




However....Rawse def has a more solid discography 
 
Jeezy has the better albums and if you really want to get into it sales too. Ross has one near classic with Telflon Don and another great album with Deeper Than Rap, but this industry is all about "what have you done for me lately." Jeezy's been in a drought and Ross took over, replaced? We'll see one TM103 drops.

Basically this. Ross acts like he's platinum. Jeezy actually is.
 
I don't know how this is a question at this point but tf you go back a year or so, they were on par.  Looking back, I don't know what happened that made Jeezy fall off.

And this is where the problem starts.

They weren't on par before Albert Anastasia, Jeezy had the better albums and way more sales. All 3 albums went platinum, TM101 was multi-platinum, Jeezy's The Recession stretched in 2009 and Ross' Deeper Than Rap did it's job but it was Jeezy who was on tour with Wayne, on tour with Jay and has the street anthems like "Who Dat", "Welcome Back" and others. Jeezy had the more memorable and recognizable records to mainstream and the streets, not Ross.

That Triple C's album startd Ross' rise and then once AA dropped that basically deaded everything out. Young had no answer, but up to that point he was the clearly the more decorated artist. Port Of Miami had some records on it, but he was rapping just to rap and his voice was still developing. I really can't go back and play that album from top to bottom anymore, Trilla had it's moments but there was too much filler. Even DTR faded off almost near the end.

So, as Jay-Z would say when people try to compare his stuff.....look at the body of work and accomplishments.

For those that only care about right now: Ross is on top
If you're comparing careers: Jeezy's clearly ahead
 
its ridiculous sometimes how people ride the wave of "whats hot" at the moment, Jeezy is not replaced by Ross.
Jeezy's buzz is climbing up really really fast right now... i hear ALOT of people banging that Real is Back mixtape... alot more than i expected.

Ross is over saturating the game right now, and people are getting tired of hearing him... perfect time for Jeezy to come back and take his lane... 

TM103 WILL be a big deal.... 
 
As "big" as of star Ross appears to be (no pun intended) he really aint that huge yet. Like somebody said before he still hasn't gone platinum, and you cant blame that on the times because he and Jeezy have released albums during the same time.

In addition Teflon Don sold LESS during it's first week than P.O.M by about 10,000 copies, yeah the industry as a whole as gone down, but if he's such a much "bigger" star now, how does that happen?

FTR Jeezy sold 170K on TM:101 and 260K for The Recession
And really, if Ross doesn't hop off making B.M.F. part 10380943208 he's gonna fall fast.  At the point it almost seems like more people are anticipating TM: 103 than Ross' new joint....
