Rick Ross - Port of Miami 2 (Discussion Thread)

[Hood Critic]

Born to Kill slide though...it felt nostalgic with Ross and Jeezy.

It is a solid album, I think the expectation is taking away from it.

What is it you want to know? nikka rapped about his health issues and loss of Black Bo on this album. nikka has a ton of introspective verses throughout his discography. Don't know what you want to hear[/QUOTE

So you really don’t know what I mean when I say I been listening to Ross for 10 years and still don’t know about him. A fat nikka talking bout losing weight and losing a potna to gunfire don’t exactly give me any insight. That’s why we like 50, DMX Jay Nas Pac etc we listened to they music and in some ways got to know em. Ross is still a mystery even in his interviews. He says nothin. I’m sorry if you don’t get it bro. That’s my thoughts on em tho

I never have and never will understand talk of Rick Ross being a great rapper, he always has been just abit above average to me.

He has nice good flow and a good rap voice granted, and he has a good ear for beats but he doesn't produce the beats so that shouldn't earn him any extra points in terms of his ability as an artist. Besides the good beats are used to hide two glaring facts, he has zero subject matter and he is nothing special lyrically.

I just listened to my d/l version of POM2 and realized it's Clean.

Can any of y'all pass the mustard on the Explicit version ?

What do you want to know? Why do you assume you know 50, DMX, Nas, Jay-Z, etc. because of songs. How do decipher what is true or what isn't? every rapper has truth mixed with fiction.

What specifically do you want to know? Or perhaps the problem is you don't want to believe his truths are his truths, because it doesn't fit what you believe he is.

As far as interviews here's a really good one to listen to if you want to "know" him.

That’s the point.... I’m the listener it’s up to me to decide authenticity. Just like in real life if it ain’t authentic to me I ain’t ducking wit it, not telling you not to but if I’m not convinced I’m not fukking wit it. This is my choice bro that’s how I feel now tell me I’m wrong. Dude don’t talk about shyt and has said the same thing for the last 10 years. I’m out on him
