Pilot talk 1 is a classic and it took me a year to realize that .

Sometimes stuff takes time to grow .

I really like this Ross album it's actually my first one I've ever paid for :lolbron:
This the first Rozay album I've bought since GFID. :lawd:

Drives me crazy that he follows a formula and always sprinkles in trap songs and then does a few songs in a row for the ladies that bog down the middle.

He did the same thing on deeper than rap.

Just give us one album all soulful lyrical shyt.
I was hoping this album was on some soulful lyrical tip....its not?

This is mediocre for real

The intro is exceptional. May the best intro of the year

But his girl songs or songs with R&B hooks are so unispired

There are ALOT of Ross albums I enjoy over this. Album is lacking a lot of energy

I'm actually leaning more toward this as well. I'd say good because of smile momma and the John legend record but even that's sort of underwhelming.


Rick Ross is an incredible artist but this project is average-good.

I've also felt like his voice has lacked emotion the last couple years and it bothers me now more than ever because his content is getting more social.

I need the same hunger and emotion in his voice (2nd verse of BMF, Tears of Joy, Yellow Diamonds) on records like buried in the streets and babies cry.... He sounds way too laid back touching controversial topics


The difference between me and a lot of you new Ross fans is I recognized his greatness a long time ago. He doesn't need to drop a "classic" to prove himself to me or the perfect album.. Y'all sound like clueless clowns who just discovered his music.


He's been great. This project doesn't hold a candle to Teflon Don or DTR.

Listen to the hunger in his voice on "I'm not a star" and compare it to his lack of emotion on Crocadyle Python...


Some of these records content is so crucial I need the Pac or angry cube emotion to come out.. I need that Kendrick on Blacker the Berry emotion

Ross out here laid back riding beats talking about gentrification and killing Donad Trump

7/10.
