The ROC's been dropping average albums, with the exception of the Black Album, for a while now. How good the album is has absolutely nothing to do with how well it sells. The ROC will stay together, like K said, because Dame is a shrewd businessman and Jay isn't a slouch either on the business end of things. And their reputation will keep them afloat too. The ROC has a rep and a lot of cats will buy whatever they put out just off the strength that it was produced by them. For Christ's sake, there's people that still buy stuff from The Row just 'cause they made it, and they haven't dropped a decent album since '97. So, no Memph isn't gonna hold the Roc down if his album is the shit, and he won't break them if it sucks. Neither will anyone else in the Roc for that matter.

Well, skill wise... Bleek is just slightly above average to me. Beans and Kayne West are good rappers, and of course Jay-Z is. 3 good rappers is pretty good in the mainstream labels, which usually only have one good rapper (sometimes NO good rappers) and the others are hopeless. Also, they got Just Blaze and West for production so thats good. The Roc can hold it down skill wise AND sales wise... but it wont be Bleek who does it

they can simply speak over Just Blaze and Kanye beats. Freeway is gold which is very good for a debut album. Bleek consistantly goes gold, State Property goes gold, Beans is a gold seller, Kanye will probably go platnium, M.O.P. will probably go gold, if they end up signing Shyne he might go platnium off his immense street cred, and if not he'll def. go gold, Dip Set go gold, Cam'ron goes plat, DJ Clue goes plat, they are probably going to sign Rakim so that may be another gold plaque, Young Gunz if they have another good single will probably go platnium. So no HE won't hold them down THEY will hold them down.

Irv Gotti is an actual gangsta so thats why he has a chance of getting shyne. But nobody likes anybody on murda inc so he should go with Rocafella. He has a personal vendetta against puffy so hopefully he'll shoot him in tha face

^ lol! Now we wouldnt want Nelly to lose his beloved boyfriend

And also, if Jay-Z is lying by his "last album" he'll prolly go multiplatinum on whatever else he releases... does anyone know when "College Dropout" by Kayne West is dropping?
