Is Rick Ross’ lyrical peak comparable to or even BETTER than Prodigy’s peak?

Start posting comparisons


You might be surprised

Post a Ross verse that’s held in the same regard as Shook Ones Pt 2.
Post a Ross song on the level of Shook Ones Pt 2.
Post a Ross album on par with The Infamous.

i dont think you can compare the two tbh

prodigy kind of came out the gate a hot spitter , i think its safe to say he peaked and declined after 2000

while ross was ok when he came in the game but got better , some say he peaked around 2010 but still remains consistent today

Prodigy’s debut was @JuvenileHell

Prodigy is like God on the Coli for some reason. It's weird.

Anyways, I prefer Ross.

 

[MJ Truth]

Ross >> Prodigy

And I fukks with the Mobb heavy.

Tellin you man... Ross just went in his bag and started painting pictures for niccas...

The storytelling is such an example of how he leveled up ...

P’s storytelling during his peak was one part of his aresenal that he didn’t utilize as much and remained somewhat flat. He fused short vignettes at times within an overarching theme...

shyt Hit The Fan
Confessions

Then using poetical devices
Drink Away the Pain
Gun Love

P was so much more than just vivid descriptions of how you would be murdered.

Ross has been effortlessly floatin on nearly every beat, destroying shyt for the past few years ...


He’s really found his pocket and has just stayed in rare form ... his pen game is so refined where he doesn’t even have to be super lyrical and it’s still just

...reminds me of Prodigy’s (RIP) historic run when I literally had him top 3 in the game ...


Got to wondering tho ... is Ross’ run better than P’s?!!

Prodigy’s sample size from the period he wa s at his peak is sort of small in retrospect.. p was at his apex lyrically from 95-97

P was just as nice as anyone on the mic during that period

Ross got in his bag in 2008.. I’d say from 2008 to 2012 GFID. Ross was spitting flames but I don’t think he was spitting at the level P did between 95-97

As a solo artist Ross would probably edge him out given his discography but Mobb Deep as a group > Ross as a solo artist

Just my .2

I love both. Good luck getting anyone to really engage and explain their stances though. Dialogue has become a thing of the past here lol.
