MTV Shows While Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap 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 ," MTV.com reader Eagles36 wrote in.

"I didn't get an opportunity to hear his record, but a lot of freak numbers come out of the Def Jam system," 50 said with a grin. Def Jam couldn't be reached for comment as of press time.
