Rick Ross - Black Market (Discussion Thread)

[homiedontplaydat]

I don't know if I can call this his best overall album, but as far as lyrically this is better than anything Ross has ever dropped. Songs like Dope dikk and Color Money show the improvement on the lyrical front. This nikka flowing his ass off

Ever again.

This is a great album, I think this will age better than has last few albums purely off the content. I`m think this comes 3rd after Deeper Than Rap and Teflon Don. I think if this had a Maybach Music 5 instead of one f the tracks towards the end this would be even higher.

 

[Zero]

We need a Ross/Jake One album in 2016.

I'm mad ya'll keep forgetting Buried In The Streets though

Edit: My bad, I see it

[Da King]

Definitely better then GFID, Hood Billionaire and his early albums

Top 2 Teflon Don and Deeper Than Rap, this might pass mastermind as his number 3, possibly second best but let's see after a few months

 

[HustlerOfVirginiA]

It's been a good year for rap in general.

2015 is one of the best years in rap music history. Period.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Ross is an absolute monster in the game. Damn @ the output and quality of music. This album is heat all the way

 

[GoonbergScandal]

This shyt looks like a OG Bad Boy record.

 

[mikishere]

Teflon Don
Deeper Than Rap
Rich Forever
GFID
Black Dollar
Black Market
Mastermind
Trilla
Port Of Miami
Hood Billionaire
Albert Anastasia

Woulda had Black Market higher but that 2nd half is way too weak for me compared to the first half... Still a solid 4/5 album on the strength of the best tracks though

time to make a Best of Black Dollar/Market

I didnt like Hood Billionaire or Mastermind, GFID was # 3 but I think Black Market is better.

Trilla Ross was too "raw" and "rough around the edges", he was still finding himself. I think Deeper Than Rap is when he found himself, and Teflon Don he perfected himself, and them Black Market is him finally giving us the lyrical content to match is amazing style.

Ross has the Mechanics and tools to be top 10 DOA when it comes to Rapping the Raps, the issue is he found his style and flow before he found the lyrical content that wa for him.

Ross always rapped about being a boss, but his raps were the typically "I wanna be like the Italians and just trick off on stuff", Ross has finally introduced lyrical content that will take up from top 30 DOA to at least Top 15. I have yet to see someone say Ross can't rap, its always some diss about the CO crap.

Ross has literally rapped with most of the Top 10 DOA and has held his own, while most others would get washed.

Like Ross is the only guy I have seen rap with Jay and Nas and come off has he is at least in their league, and they are rapping together opposed to it being "Hey I got Jay on my song to make it better".

I think when its all said and done haters aside Ross will be one of those Raekwon and Kool G types that people who respect the art form put in their top list, because avg publication talks about crap like album sales, when many of the best rap songs were not on platinum albums.
