This shit is boring Ross let his ego get the best of him with this album imo he let me down talking all that shit on the net. he left the best track Cigar Music off this shit. imo Trilla is better then this album


CIGAR MUSIC >THE WHOLE ALBUM
really though

I heard a snippet of that song... and that beat was nice as fuck... I downloaded the album... like wtf where is cigar music? that shit was slappin

didn't really think I'd be into Ross but I was in Miami the week his first album dropped, so i figured I'd pick up some local music.....i think his first 2 albums are 50/50...but i've heared like 7 songs from this album and I like them all so far...I'll definetley be picking this up on Tuesday

lol It's evident that his lyrics have a great chance of being suspect in the first place. But I look at it as entertainment, movie cinema shit. You take it with a grain of salt basically. One thing you can't front on is the production on here which is what really drew me to this album. Just my opinion though.

Not really a fan of Ross, but im listening to his album and giving it a try....his persona is a complete turnoff..he tries too hard for me, but im not a hater..if the music is good then its good and I would have no problem admitting so...

Here you go, since i dislike Rick Ross as a rapper and person so much. MU http://link-protector.com/x-70787, RS http://link-protector.com/x-70786
good lookin

i could not walk up to the register w this in hand...

i think its all an act and this was all new-age 'viral marketing', kinda like what goes on in worldstar hip hop comments..but no ones catching on because it the blueprint isnt exactly exposed all the way. def jam would know its employees histories if they invest millions, and dade county had hella CO's in the coke game in the 80s but they dont mention that..not to say that rr is official or nothin cuz i knew dude was a co since the 'push it' days but i do believe this was all the machine of genius marketing

and i think rick ross is really, trying to embody that CO in the coke game persona without giving away too much of his intent, hes surrounding mystery around it..and thats where a few of his sales will come from, the grey area of hustlers that realize the drug game is exactly as shady as rick ross is, look at it as entertainment like any mafia movie might be or are just completely misled

either way you slice it he sure as fuck did garner attn for his album and someone is apparently spending some big bucks to back it

if i enjoy it at all, itll be from winamp, and far from anyone seeing me playing it in a car..

u know theres some bay area rap legends who rap about stuff theyve never done too, rick ross makes good music and lyrically hes good so i'll fuck with him

but the new album isnt as good as trilla

maybach music 2, the song with nas and valley of death were my favorites

i havent gotten threw it yet but maybach music (track 2) and manificent (track 3) are classic songs

i dont even hear rick ross i just hear a rapper on it

them beats are so hard.and kanye came with a verse i actually liked on maybach music 2

i dunno dude has money now so he talkin about it..im startin to get a lil money so now his music sounds relevent in that sense. i might really like this shit altho he was a co

sad as it is music may speak for itself this time ill have to peep it all tho

and no isde choosing imma be fuckin w gunit when they drop same w 50 i bet u money he steps his shit up on this next liek ross did under pressure and thats what i care about, this music being tight..

most rappers are fake..you ever been in a video shoot you know that its entertainment

not to back up ross but this beat for magnificent is so hard that i cant be mad at it all

this is what i realized from everyone that is super critical of ross's c.o situation:
A: they never liked his music and this is their chance/excuse to trash him w/out being called a hater.

B: They've never been to jail and don't know what a c.o. is capable of. they most likely mistake c.o.'s with mr. policeman.

C: they are fatherless little boys who expects every male in their life to tell them truth and fulfill the fetish/fantasies that they themselves will never achieve in their lives.

D: they are g-unit stans that are really fans of ross.

E: everything above E


go out and buy the album tomorrow. best mainstream album so far this year.

Your right, I never liked Rick Ross or checked out his muzik. But that Mafia Muzik beat is hard. I'll give it a listen just to be fair.

COs do alot of crooked shit too.
