Rick Ross smooth/mafioso song appreciation thread

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Ya'll can hate on his trap shyt all you want...but when Ross is on that smooth tip?

Dude is making some of the best songs out there.

Ross should be a reminder that THE MUSIC comes first. Don't get caught up in all that extra shyt. This is ENTERTAINMENT first and foremost.

Dude is also one of the best beat-selectors in the game.

Lets not talk about the Maybach Musics...



Ya'll better recognize this man's contributions to the game, all things considered.

Rich Off Cocaine is what won me over as a Ross fan,
Vacation to Haiti, it nearly broke my heart.
Seeing kids starve I thought about my audemar.

 

[Scoop]

Great list. And of course missing some like Ashamed, All the Money in the World, Ten Jesus Pieces and the Maybach Musics.

Best beat selector out there easily.

no doubt about it..Mafia Music 2 is smooth as fuk too

 

[Serb]

 

[Ghost Like Swayze]

man, this song right here is soo underrated... I remember it dropping pre-teflon don days and thinking the beat, the flow, Chrisette Michele harmonizing in the background, the grandiose raps . It was clear to me by this point Rozay had reached the top tier of rappers.

Ross paints that Miami Beach/Scarface/Vice City image so vividly, you can't do anything but, I feel like I got a oceanfront mansion with a speedboat in the back listening to his shyt

 

[Tuling]

Mafia Music is his best song.

 

[JC_USN]

Solid post. Can't really think of anyone else that can choose beats like this, and make the beat sound like it was positively made for them.

 

[BlackDroog]

These type of songs are what make him more than the average trap rapper...imagine a whole album of Maybach Music type tracks...

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Great smoking music

 

[head shots101]

I can't front b when homie get on them soul samples he be killing it.... I have that AZ track and that new kiss and ross track on repeat

I can't stand his trap shyt tho

 

[CashmereThoughts]

He's got the formula. I don't think people realize the emphasis he put on putting out quality

 

[KeysT]

A lot of people don't appreciate it. Glad to see the Coli got some real dudes on here. Cut all the bullshyt its about the music.

Don't forget about Aston Martin Music. That smooth ass beat, with Chrisette Michelle's vocals, mixed with a dope verse from Drizzy(as usual) along with Drake harmonizing on the hook...shyt was beautiful
