This beat is aggressive, like woke up with your car sitting on cement abrasive. Ha, he blamed America for him growing more violent throughout the years. I feel like every Ross album has a song called “Dead Presidents.” Also every trap rapper has to have a song called “Dead Presidents.” Ross saying nothing's changed in the 10 years since Port Of Miami. I wouldn't be mad at this one if it started earning heavy spins in the warmer months to come.ĥ. “ I’m nothing like those trap guys but I do bag dimes,” okay Wale. Everyone is showing the hell up for Ross. I still feel like people hold the MMG signing against him, assuming he’s not still giving bars over the bangers. Wale's not the trap rapper, so glad he’s not pretending to have the kilos. Is this the first time Ross and Thug have connected? An interesting combo. Thug has so much crossover potential but if he did an album of goon-ish trap music, I wouldn’t be mad. This flow is nasty, seriously he’s skiing slaughtering the pocket. Young Thug’s voice sounds deeper than usual, I think I prefer this tone than when he raps in a higher pitch. Ten years ago Ace Hood would be on here over Thugger. The beat has some serious kick, I felt my chest cavity cave in when the beat dropped. “ In the jungle I’m Nas, at the label I’m Russ, in the trap I’m Rick Ross.” This is wake up in a new Bugatti music. I swear, along with his weight loss, Ross' flows have gotten tighter. " Brown bag legend,” this is another one for the brown bag article. This is a thumper, I feel the ground shaking beneath my feet. I’m almost sure that it was a strategic choice to follow up his Birdman assault with a trap banger featuring Young Thug. Ross just dropped a bomb on Birdman and starts the next song with his ankle monitor beeping, legend. Even though the last thing I want in 2017 is a Birdman song/diss/birdcall. Forget Nicki and Remy, Birdman and Ross is a far more interesting battle. What did Birdman do to Khaled? Behind the scenes, some dirt went down. He is lecturing Birdman, the truth is hotter than Lil Wayne's old block.

“ Last request, can all producers please get paid.” I just fell out my chair. THIS ISN’T A DRIVE-BY THIS IS STAND OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE AND EMPTY EVERY CLIP. “ Pray that Mannie Fresh will see the light.” SCORCHING. Just name-dropped Birdman, oh this is a damn diss. Again, clarity Ross is sounding razor sharp. Further proof, it's best not to meet your idols. Oh shit, meeting Birdman and seeing that his watch was a fake broke Ross' heart. Okay, Ross is floating over the darkest keys. Rick mentioned growing up on Cash Money, reminiscing flow. These keys are ominous and woooo the drums just dropped. Oh shit, I believe this is the same sample of Jay’s “Where Have You Been” that’s on The Dynasty album.

Chris Rock)Ĭhris Rock! He sounds drunk, like real drunk, the kind of drunk you feel embarrassed about when you see it the next morning on Instagram. Tyler was right, Ross is amazing when he leaves the trap. Okay, this is a strong two for two right now.

Ross bragging about Martha Stewart decorating his home with Snoop supplying smoke is my favorite humble brag thus far. I would not mind a jazz-driven rap album of Rick Ross venting about his life and times. Did he just throw a shot at Jesse Jackson? Is no one safe from Ross? Is it strange that Ross sounds like he’s reached a certain level of clarity? This is heat. ROSS SOUNDS THE BEST WHEN THE SAMPLE IS SOULFUL! Who gave this piece of beauty to the boss? So jazzy, so soulful! Rick Ross just mentioned diabetes in his bloodline, such an interesting fact to casually throw in right before boasting about blowing money at Art Basel. How can he say fuck the world over such a beautiful sample? Ross sounds like he’s about to bring the world to its knees while the beat is trying to take us all to Heaven-what a strange yet riveting juxtaposition. Production is top-notch, it feels like the dawn you see before scoring a triple double. I could feel that high note piercing through the clouds. I know that’s a hot take, but he’s really delivering some memorable moments. “ I want fried chicken at my funeral.” From Donald Trump to having weed at the White House, this might be the best Ross intro ever. Reflective Ross is the best Ross next to War Ross. Raphael Saadiq sounds heavenly, but he doesn’t miss. This is smoother than Johnny Tsunami on a snowboard. Did he just casually mention she was the reason for the beef between Drake? “ Just had a seizure at the Super Bowl,” what kind of strange boast is this!? I don’t know if I should be worried or salute. “ I told Meek I wouldn’t trust Nicki,” WHAT THE HELL. Anytime Ross mentions crying the song is an instant classic. Soulful hums and jazzy horns, this is going to be an intro to play back, I can feel it. Each song will receive my gut reaction from start to finish.
