Good album track, but was definitely not going to be a hit.

It's weird though because although it is a good song...for some reason if someone said to me the album will be songs just like that, I would say well then that's disappointing.

He's gotta stop that cry though. He did it on 100 Black Coffins, Wonder Why and now this. Probably other tracks as well. shyt is annoying.

Yep. Notice the best selling artists in this era release the least amount of music (Drake, Kendrick, Cole)?

Exactly breh, once you're on and you've made it just quit with the mixtapes, you've already got a fanbase! As soon as Drake, Rocky, Kendrick and Cole all blew up they haven't released one solo mixtape, as it should be.

Only person who fukked that up was Big Sean...if he would have kept Detroit an actual album then most of y'all would have actually liked it. I mean I actually liked Hall Of Fame but I can understand why it bricked...

Majority of Ross hate comes from crackaz...no real niggga hates ross(unless they've done a bid and have encountered some fcked up COs that gave em a justified general hate towards all of em)..

Ross drops classic music and perpetuates the presence of the Nation in his life in his rhymes.....

Crackaz love to bring up that CO sht cuz these crackaz just cant fck with that black god body sht...

These crackaz hated the fact Ross gave TMZ that work...

Ross speaks for none of these crackaz which is why they're forced to run to hipster ass cracka appealing artists like Drake and Kdot that they can relate to in some manner because they try to appeal to them

Ross doesnt...Ross may rhyme ducktales but he chooses to focus on black struggle and black struggle only

Which is why he'll never go plat...these crackaz aint gon buy his sht..no matter how hot is music is in the hood...these hipster ass crackaz are the main consumers..and if u aint appealing to them u aint selling sht..

So i could give a fck bout how much play he getting..

Devil is a Lie is :ahh:

And mastermind bout to be a classic :lawd:

The truth is Ross is still making good music but we've heard it all before like Sunshine Anderson.

He has to change his sound dramatically and progress. I feel like Jay-Z has done an amazing job at this. It feels like Ross hasn't progressed from Teflon Don through now……You could replace any song from now up until then & it would have fit. I also think he over saturated himself.

But yeah that Rich Forever mixtape should have been his last album.

fukkwithmeuknowigotit shoulda been his damn single instead of a track on Camel's album.

The features he has done as of late should all be his tracks, like I Wanna Be With You from the Khaled album, the John Legend joint and the Estelle joint that no one cared about. Those 4 tracks alone would be a decent crop of songs for an album

After that, get an obligatory Mustard beat (before that waves gets played out) and take it from there

Interesting responses, they shot the video for "fukk with me" but it hasn't come out yet.
