Nah breh ain't nothing about these verses going to be remembered 15 years from now. I'm just calling it how I see it.

Man unless u can see into the future how would u know this

Because I took back one verse on the album and it was nas. I ain't saying Ross didn't put out some good music here but bro got like two or three good verses on this album but like 7 or 8 classic type beats. shyt just don't add up.

The Greece track is a prime example. Last verse was some real shyt the rest seems like a waste of a good song to me

Santorini Greece should've been Maybach Music V

I feel you, but I like the direction he went in with a more romantic vibe. I feel like the series tells a story.

MM1 - Achieving success, enjoying the fruits of his labor, getting accustomed to the lifestyle
MM2 - Celebrating wealth, continuing to grind and expand the empire
MM3 - Looking back on where he came from, realizing how blessed he is to achieve so much
MM4 - Stunting/Bragging about his accomplishments, feeling himself a little (no surprise that this version was a little too over the top)
MM5 - Somewhat humbled, realizing the more important things in life like having a ryde or die chick with you

Them three trap joints really fukk up the flow of the album.

I wouldn't mind if Ross could get some dope trap beats, but these shyts are generic and boring as fukk.

The rest of this shyt is smooth as fukk though. Triple Plat beat

I honestly thought Rick Ross best music was behind him at this point and I was 100% wrong.

The album flows well and his ear for beats is top notch, for real. Guests are straight too. Diss track is probably the hardest since Gucci's "Truth", he floated on it.

This album epitomizes meh on first listen. I think Ross has lost the magic. It's all too generic.

Good breakdown. This should be it's own thread.

Too add on to that, I'd say that there's a lot of paranoia on MM3. Trying to protect his empire from both the law and haters in the street. And on MM4 he was basically drunk off power after destroying all his foes. Completely agree with your beakdown of MM5.

Ross to me really has solidified himself as one of a handful who has defined this decade musically.

[FakeNews]

I rock with Ricky Ronaldo I thought he might have been done, but this is the Ross I like
