i feel like the relative critical love of his last album was one wave too early, and this album is getting rightful praise
the biggest asset in this album's favor is it's run time -- 'deeper than rap' was waaayyy too long

pretty good album, Albert Anastacia EP is better to me though ("Knife Fight"! "Gotti Family!" "White Sand".. that shit is crazy)... don't really like "Maybach Music 3," the first one is still the best one, "I'm Not A Star", "Tears of Joy" and "Aston Martin Music" are the best tracks on this one (besides "BMF"), "Audio Meth" with Raekwon and "Mafia Music 2" should've been on the album...

ha, i think the intro of my 'trilla' review is apropos here (excuse the sloppy prose)
Rick Ross, though you may not be aware of it, is one of the most successful rappers in music right now. That said, he’s an odd case. Unlike with Jay-Z, Kanye West or T.I., you won’t see any of Ross’ albums appearing on a year-end list on this website, in Rolling Stone or probably even XXL. And unlike 50 Cent, another hugely popular but critically reviled rapper, Ross has neither a unanimously acclaimed album nor single in his past. Yet, Trilla, his second album, sold 198,000 copies in its first week out, despite the fact that the album’s big lead single peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at #87, and that his face showed up on as many magazine covers as mine did.
Not only does all this make Ross a confounding presence, but also a pretty important one. If middle-schoolers aren’t buying Ross’ albums with their birthday money—and all indications are that they aren’t—than who exactly is vaulting this dude over chart mainstays like Snoop Dogg and the Now collection? The answer has to be rap fans, meaning Rick Ross—the rapper who will forever remain infamous for rhyming “Atlantic” with “Atlantic”—is galvanizing rap’s core fan base like only its most visible pop stars can. Common and UGK, two rap acts whose last albums also went #1 despite minimal pop crossover, share peer boosterism with Ross, but they’ve been around. Their number ones felt owed to them. Ross on the other hand, hasn’t influenced a whole generation of successful rappers (and even though I like Trilla, and him in general, I hope he never does).

Jay's "Light Up" verse >>>>> his "free mason" verse IMO.

maybe it was a "bonus track"
i think it was cool that ross developed that super luxurious, expensive sounding... sound on 'deeper than rap' but lex luger's crunk revivalism really agrees with him
― ASBO slice (J0rdan S.), Friday, 23 July 2010 03:45 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah Ross' success still kind of confuses me a bit, "BMF" being the biggest street record out right now is kind of baffling tgiven the whole c.o. thing... but I guess if the music's good..

Both are great, but his more agile flow is back on "Free Mason," which I miss from Jay. But "Light Up" probably has more memorable lines.
― altered boners (rennavate), Friday, 23 July 2010 03:45 (thirteen years ago) link
I have a feeling Lex Luger is going keep recycling the same beat, but I kind of like everything I've heard by him so far... he did this new Fab song that's kind of dope

deeper than rap is way better than the other two! and was way more of an EVENT too, when that first joint dropped where hes all 'whistling at wendy williams' or whatever thats when everyone was all "whoa...dude can rap." This record doesnt feel like much of an EVENT at all in comparison

I like Deeper Than Rap better than Teflon Don. I feel like the new one is too ambitious. Peter Principle in action, kinda; on DTR he got as good as he's ever gonna be and had exactly the kind of lush yacht-rap beats he needs. Only "Super High" really maintains that level of lushness.

i wouldn't necessarily call "BMF" at street hit in the sense that it's a rick ross song... there was always some level of built in advantages -- it's certainly not on the same wavelength in that regard as "o let's do it" or "wasted" or any dance snap thing
really i think it served more of a purpose of reminding ross's people that no one really wants to hear him doing shit like "super high" or "magnificent" -- people still want "hustlin" type joints from him (exception being the one w/ nelly that was a hit)

Not to take anything away from him, because he's put out some very good albums, but how much of Rick Ross' appeal is that he's filling the void left behind by Biggie? It's a comparison Ross seems to court more aggressively than ever on Teflon Don, which is peppered with Biggie references.

It's not just a physical comparison; though. His halting, booming flow seems to get more Biggie-esque with each album, and he (and his guests) make several explicit references to Biggie on Teflon Don. It seems to be a comparison that he actively courts.
― Evan R, Wednesday, 4 August 2010 20:22 (thirteen years ago) link

i know nothing about rick ross, but when i heard two seizures in a day, i thought maybe he's got epilepsy? sometimes it shows itself later in a person's life, iirc.
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 15 October 2011 03:52 (twelve years ago) link
Seizures can happen as a result of tumors, impaired oxygen to the brain, hanging out with Wayne -- lotsa things.
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 15 October 2011 03:54 (twelve years ago) link
being fat itself doesnt 'cause' anything but like seizures it can be a symptom of unhealthy living, im sure theres some study that links exercise to a lack of health probblems for example
― The boyboy young jess (D-40), Saturday, 15 October 2011 05:22 (twelve years ago) link
well i guess thats kind of untrue, being fat can cause things too, but thats not a helpful way to look at it

Ha, I easily prefer the epic extended version with Drake feeling like all four members of Color Me Badd. Also, why would you want to cut Chrisette?
― weak willie (longneck), Wednesday, 7 November 2012 09:38 (eleven years ago) link
even the drake parts are good on aston martin music. that's how good it is.
― crüt, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 09:42 (eleven years ago) link
"too doo what I had too doo" and "as...ton...mar...tin...myoo...zeek" are shitty hooks imo
― Citizen Ship (some dude), Wednesday, 7 November 2012 10:14 (eleven years ago) link
"Aston Martin Music" makes me kinda get, so briefly, what other people see in Drake. Every note he sings comes as a surprise, I suspect to himself more than anyone else.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 7 November 2012 10:44 (eleven years ago) link
yeah he def sounds like he's making it up as he goes along
― Citizen Ship (some dude), Wednesday, 7 November 2012 10:44 (eleven years ago) link
it's 2015 and this album still sounds great
the whole thing is excellent but MC Hammer -> BMF -> Aston Martin Music is my favorite part
― welltris (crüt), Saturday, 5 September 2015 19:16 (eight years ago) link
Yeah this is all time for me, too. One of those rare records where the monster singles are perfectly balanced with the album cuts
― Evan R, Saturday, 5 September 2015 20:09 (eight years ago) link
What's the consensus on dude's post-peak music, Mastermind / Black Market? I dig the beats on Black Market a lot, no "B.M.F."-like material but I honestly don't care about that sound. Also it's the only reason I know Scott Storch and JR Rotem still exist, I forgot that Rotem in particular is probably the hackiest producer ever but the Mariah Carey remake is good
― nova, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 06:49 (eight years ago) link
also is dude Nas's favorite new-school rapper or something (relatively-speaking,) he seems to collaborate with him a decent amount
― nova, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 06:55 (eight years ago) link
He's the only current rapper I listen to. I think Mastermind is great, don't love Black Dollar/Black Market as much but they're solid albums.
― the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Wednesday, 20 January 2016 11:16 (eight years ago) link
Mastermind had a couple tracks that are among my favorite songs of the last few years.
War Ready https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax9YLJ8Wt5Q
Blk & Wht https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI86g6eQOfs
― Spottie, Wednesday, 20 January 2016 18:41 (eight years ago) link
I like "War Ready" but find the end of it kinda unnerving. As far as Black Dollar/Market, not sure why "Money Dance" is >7 minutes but it's cool cuz that's a great vibe-out beat
Still don't care about dude's rapping with a couple exceptions I can think of ("Foreclosures,") but it doesn't get in the way for me, idk how much of it is just thinking dude doesn't have the greatest voice for rap -- I definitely prefer Nas's verse on "One of Us" for instance but it's not like they're flowing all that different.
I didn't even realize him & Jeezy dropped albums at the end of last year for a bit

― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 14:12 (six years ago) link
I can't imagine reaching for any Rick Ross album other than Teflon Don or Rich Forever, but Mastermind was interesting because, along with all of Ross's Harry Fraud and Nas collabs, it revealed what a traditionalist the guy is. Made it really easy to imagine a scenario where he spends the rest of his career just playing to the "real rap" crowd, releasing solid but unexciting LPs that never change much kinda like Wu-Tang and Boot Camp and all those old New York types do.
Kinda a funny turn for a guy who began his career so reviled by traditionalists.
