Prior to the release day, Ross had asserted in interviews with MTV that this album would be his best during his career. Rick Ross claimed that if "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" by '50 Cent sold 10 million copies, then my next record ('Deeper than Rap') will sell 12 million,' however this did not materialize.
