Rick Ross - 3 Kings
Artist: Rick Ross
Producer: Jake One
Album: God Forgives, I Don't
Label: Maybach Music/Def Jam
You’ve got to hand it to Rick Ross, the man certainly knows how to stay in the news. For the Bawse’s latest headline grabber he puts together what, judging by the names on the marquee alone, has to be considered one of the year’s biggest songs in 3 Kings. Jake One gets the call on the production tip, building an instrumental founded in classic hip-hop but with epic aspirations, giving Dr. Dre a soulful foundation to launch off on his opening verse. Ross follows with a typically Maybach-soaked verse dripping with billionaire aspirations, and then Jay-Z runs the anchor leg, unleashing a verse that should put anyone with aspirations of stealing the “richest rapper alive” throne from him to rest. Love it or hate it, they’‘ll be talking about this one long after the arrival of Ross’ new album, God Forgives, I Don’t, blowing out speakers worldwide now.

This is a Classic! Sick beat by Jake and Dr Dre smashed the intro. Jay-Z did his thing and Rick Ross killed it too. This is 5-star material...

This should have been better. Dre's opening verse was weak, Rozay held his own but still managed to sound average and Jay was off form too. The beat was the best thing about the whole track and that doesn't say much.

Jay-z destroyed this with 1 verse. Dr.Dre did his thing to since I hadn’t heard him in a minute.
Now Rick Ross. Another failed verse trying to keep up with heavyweights. Some boss you are. You got destroyed by both your special guest features. It’s ashame this is your song with that weak ass repeat verse. That verse was what I call a re run verse. A re run verse is a verse that I hear from a rapper rap about over and over again and they try to disguise it with a few new words in it to trick you as a listener but if you listen carefully you already heard them spit that before. |

Not gonna rate it because i liked Dre and Jay's verses, but Rick Ross continues to be a joke.

i gave it two for the beat. Could truly give a damn bout all three of em and they're non-stop bragging about how they "run shit" over and over in every verse they spit in every song.

Very hard for me to give it more than 2 stars just because of Rozay and his simple and irrelevant verse like always.

This track resparked my interest in the album. Awesome beat and all 3 ripped their verses, especially jay. He's still goin strong! I dont know if this album will be the classic that they're making it out to be, but if it's better then Teflon Don it'll be huge enough.

After seeing the features on this track I was expecting a classic....boy was I wrong!! The beat is good but not classic....Dres verse was just ok....and Rick Ross sounds the same in every Dam verse which to me is BORING!! Jay was the only one who was better than ok which is hard for me to admit being such a big Dre fan!! Ok track nothing spectacular

Production was stiller. Dre's verse was..well nothing special, Jay should of ghost written or at least consequence or stat quo for him. I expected Ross bring his A game but I guess the presence hip hop of legends made him nervous when he was writing. Jay well I dont think he put in any real effort into this verse.

The Jake One beat makes this a classic. Rick Ross was above average nothing stellar but Jay-Z killed it and Dre did alright good hearing him rap regularly a little bit more

this is a good ol' skl hip-hop track which I like to see the comeback. Though, by about 4 / 4 and half minutes I start to get bored luckily it ends in bout 10 secs.
I still think Rozay's rhymes are no comparison to the top rap stars with mediocre flows and Jig and Dre performing well but not at best. But after all that complakining I still give it a solid 4 stars. |
