Just listened to the album, off first listen seems like it's on the same tier as his other albums, which is a good thing.

For the most part I think his last four albums are on the same tier, it's just "whatever you prefer." Like I'm seeing people say GFID is trash, but I thought it was a strong effort.

Rick Ross is really good at crafting albums. Features are part of the game nowadays. What impresses me is he can manage to have features (artist that I don't fukk with) come in with strong performances. Like I don't really fukk with the weekend, but that track on here is cold.

I think the album is cool, and might grow on me some more....but i think the Sanctified beat is easily the HARDEST on the album. HOWEVER, mothafukkin Rick Ross RUINED THE SHYT!! He's so damn nonchalant on that hard ass track, and didn't switch his flow up not even a little bit.

I was hoping he'd get hyped on that track & even a couple of others like he was on Devil is a Lie. I was hoping to hear him scream shyt like - "THESE MOTHAFUKKAS MAD DAT I'M ICY...STUNT SO HARD MAKE EM COME INDICT ME!!"

i also like Thug Cry a lot. Justice League never disappoints, and love the 93 til Infinity sample. However, wish he would've used someone else & not Wayne on that track. Drake or somebody else who could've spit some deep shyt would've been better IMO.

:heh:
na definitely lol...the title of the track would've had to change for sure. but that beat deserves somebody who can give you some deep, impactful rhymes. Drake can do that. Wayne hasn't done that since like Carter 2.

This sh*t rides!

Took the day off today, had to run some errands and I done gave this album 3 full run throughs. The only song I see myself skipping is What A Shame...I can't do too much French.

Ross has addressed everything about him that's constantly talked about in this album...this ho rides!

6 albums, couple crazy mixtapes...and he's STILL going. You got to salute the fat n*gga. :salute:
