Is it time to admit Rick Ross will never make a classic?

[MAKAVELI25]

His snippets from the albums always have me thinking his shyt is gonna be a classic, but he still hasn't delivered

 

[Yecht]

It's safe to say he will never go platinum

But every one of his albums has crazy replay value to this day

Port of Miami

Trilla

Teflon Don

Deeper Than Rap

God Forgives I Don't

I don't like to call anything less than 5 years old a classic, but I can throw any of these shyts on and enjoy the next hour of my life

 

[CELL]

I gotta agree with you here. But I don't think he's capable of releasing a classic, he always has and always will be a very solid rapper. He's above average.

 

[BlackZilla]

I think it's pretty obvious. Ross should be throwing up the M...not for Miami, but for Mediocrity.

 

[Ronald]

God Forgives, I Don't is basura

 

[Drizzy Dre]

I think Ross' main problem is that he oversaturates himself at times. I'm sure if took a year off instead of dropping MMG compilations he could've had a better album.

This is like saying is it time to admit Jamal Crawford will never lead a team to a title..it was never a question...get all the hype out of your head and be serious with yourself. Ross is good for what he is but he's not a great artist and doesn't even care to be.

I guess all those beats have you confused but I'm not

The way I see it, anyone is capable of dropping a classic because it isn't always about how good the music is necessarily. If he drops something that influences the game, changes its' direction, or sells a ton then yeah, that would qualify the album as a classic to me even if it's trash.

The chances of him dropping what I would consider to be a 'critical classic', as in an album everyone loves to the point where we can't help but give him props is like 5%

im guessing wale and meek will got plat before that fat fukk.

Honestly I think given time Teflon Don could mature into a classic -- Rozay was at the top of his spit game and he took more risks on that album. They paid off in my opinion

 

[blackslash]

TBh I was jus randomly bumpin Rick Ross today and I came to the crazy realization that Ross is actually a pretty decent rapper

 

[Anti-Anime]

I'm free to say this n!gga is borderline mediocre/mega-average now?
