1) Deeper then rap
2) GFID
3) Teflon Don
4) Mastermind
5) Trilla
6) POM
:comeon: POM is underrated at this point. it actually aged well. trilla is def his worst album by far. can only remember the singles and maybach music (which was the spark of modern ross)..that shyt didnt age well at all..whole joint has that dj khaled feel.. which at almost 30 is wack to me now.

i'd say

1. TD
2. DTR(had his highest highs but tracks 8-12 are AWFUL. 9/14 keepers)
3. POM
4. Mastermind
5. GFID
6. Trilla

with time mastermind might move to 3 to me. its his 2nd most consistent album behind TD.

Day 2 and it's getting even better. shyt is insanely smooth.

Also count me with the people who think "nobody" is dope.

From his flow, French on the chorus, Diddy on the shyt talk. It may be my favorite biggie remake ever done.

POM was kind of wack then so its probably even worse now. Ross was not a very good rapper back then and that album had no memorable songs on there outside the runners tracks and push it. You could tell with that album they wanted a TM 101 type shyt with the Akon features and it just wasn't good. Trilla had all i have, luxury tax, money make me cum, this is the life, maybach music. Just an overall better effort. You could see the progression of Ross from outlandish drug overlord on his debut to a smooth, more mellow boss type on Trilla. No way Trilla is his worst album imo.

Edit: Matter of fact. I may put Trilla above this mastermind album

idk man. .luxury tax was cool yes, and i did like boss, but i dont really care to hear speeding or any of hte other tracks on there at this point. POM had hustlin, push it, BLOW, pots and pans., even ' it aint a problem and I'm a G weren't bad.. i guess agree to disagree, but yes his skills werent polished yet and i think the maybach music song was the start of it

Time might make me change my mind about Mastermind. But there are no wack or mediocre tracks on this joint. The Weekend joint is the only one I will skip, but not because it's wack. Throw in Oyster Perpetual as the intro, Oil Money, and Box Chevy. Album is beyond ridiculous.
