It's real hard to give Rick Ross a legit rating seeing I'm already so biased against him but I'll try. I tried to compare him to Nas(my favourite MC) where Nas calls himself Nas Escobar. But really I couldn't, while rappers have been stretching the truth for a long time, no rapper has ever called themselves a drug king pin then found out to be a prison officer. I understand the man had to eat, and a man that big eats alot. But it's a massive blow on his music, albums and his whole career. Unless you like his flow and voice you won't really like his album, so that's another blow for me. He no doubt has an ear for beats, I'd rather rather listen to his instrumentals then him to spit the truth, he's feature heavy so most the talent you come across on this album isn't even his. I can't give it a bad rating because the album isn't bad and I can't give it a good rating because it isn't that good, Rick Ross has barely any quotables or verses that hit you and make you think "Dammmn this mother fucker is off the chain" but it's reasonably solid. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but I wouldn't advise against it. It's just got a neutral feeling.
Lyrics(Ross's only) - 2/5
Beats - 5/5
Originality - 2/5
-1 for being a CO but I'm not going to pitch that in the rating.
