Rick Ross smooth/mafioso song appreciation thread

[Kisame]

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.

Dont forget THE only S.O.S.A the legendary AZ!!!

p.s. i you cuz you're real but dont forget AZ!!!

Life after death is overrated, and it isn't better than Ross' albums. Y'all need to get off biggie's dikk.

nonsense. Ross needs to get on biggies level get from behind YMCMB and take the throne. Next time he gets with usher or another crossover sensation he needs to deliver. And he needs to diversify his flow.

ross doesn't make corny r&b tracks. when he gets on that pop vibe, he still blends it with his street sensibilities. look at here i am. that was a tough track, but it wasn't a corny pop record.

He tried HE FAILED. And as much as i like that song ITS NOT A MASTERPIECE OR CLASSIC. HE NEED TO OUTSHINE DRAKE AND WAYNE AND YMCMB if he is truly the man. Make huge songs without them and bigger than them. Biggie was the man on both his albums runs. Ross playing 2nd 3rd fiddle. He average at rapping. Great at selecting beats. Great hustla though.

ross' biggest songs don't have any features from artists like drake or wayne. rich off cocaine. i'm not a star. i can go on. biggie might have been the man on both albums, but life after death is very overrated. ross has released better albums, and i think most people being honest would agree. ross has never played 2nd fiddle. nikkas want HIM to be on their tracks - not the other way around.

Lol at those songs being big. I love both those songs but they're only big to US FELLOW ROSS FANS. :shake: and he is not at the front of hiphop YMCMB is. I dont think he will leave their shadows.Lad is a classic and ran 1997. U must be a youngin

 

[Hood Critic]

On top of all of this, his trap still go hard...nikkas going to really act like Box Chevy isn't getting a lot of love.

even if he isn't going triple platinum like a wayne or drake, ross is the biggest artist and the current trendsetter of hip-hop. look at the streets. look at who everyone is following. it's ross. and after self-made 3, his movement will only become bigger. be real with yourself, fam.

when dudes say they're glad he's off that trap shyt, i only need to point them towards box chevy, one of the hardest songs in the streets right now.

the same 2 posters that stan ross are the only ones comparing him to biggie

 

[Tuling]

was with this thread before dumbasses started to compare him to big

big did absolutely everything better in every aspect no bullshytting
They do have one thing in common, their content; drugs and guns

But big is a more introspective and versatile emcee than ross will ever be and rick ross storytelling is lacking as hell, while big is 10x in that department.

Ross is a good lyricist but he aint touching big there either. fukk outta with that "limited" catalog bullshyt, big have 2 masterpieces, of course ima rank him over Rick Ross with none no matter how many albums he have, dumb ass logic.
