Rick Ross‘s name has been in the spotlight the last few months, but it isn’t solely because of his music. Though rumors emerged about the rapper’s alleged past as a corrections officer, the Miami native has vigorously defended himself and continues to record new music for his junior album, Deeper Than Rap. Over Kanye West‘s instrumental from the Lil’ Wayne/Babyface collabo Comfortable, the Boss explains that he doesn’t let negative rumors bother him and apparently, he is on pace to earn $20 million by the end of next April. Seems like he chose the right career path, huh? Regardless, whatever your stance is on Ross’s suspected line of work prior to getting “on” as a rapper, you can’t knock the man for the continuous line (no pun intended) of hits he has delivered over his first two Def Jam releases.
Whenever an artist takes aim at another artists track and freestyles over it, its a natural reaction to compare it to the original. Thats what the artists expect you to do, because everyone and theyr brother has heard the original version of this track. So with that being said, this version is weak compared to Waynes. Ross just sounds like he lost his voice and needs a throat losenge. Not a fan.
I never was a fan of the original...I've actually only listened to it probably once, on my full length listen through of "The Carter III" and I haven't listened to it since then. I definitely like Rick Ross over Kanye productions. I heard him on a Ye joint before he was fully signed or dropped his debut LP, and it's one of the best songs I've heard from him. "The biggest cop that we've seen thus far" is still a good rapper, aside from if his history is as "Trilla" as we thought. I'll throw this in rotation.
thsi was nothing special. its liek the beat drowns him out and the echoes are distracting from the lyrics. waynes version was better. this is garbage to me. i wont listen to this again.
Just fess up man. We seen the pics. If that's what you did b4 you got in the rap game, just be cool with it. This is alright, but I can see this @*#$! is bothering you much. Ross we know you can flow, but can you be honest?
This is what happens when you have already recorded a bunch of new material for a solo album and a joint collabo w/ Birdman, you have to wait until it your turn again at the label to drop something. If this was '99, Ross would be on his fourth single... Not bad, but not saying anything unheard of. I'll relax since its just for fun.
Rick Ross Rips it on here! Its good to hear someone new on this track! Ross spazzed out on this track right here! Nice flow on this track! It's just a rotation joint in the end though. Nothing to go super crazy about!
In my opinion his flow doesn't fit the production at all. I've never heard the original song by Lil' Wayne (and I guess I wouldn't like it as I don't like Wayne) but this doesn't catch me. The music is really good, but Rick works better in uptempo songs to me!
yo REAL TALK thiz dude need 2 retire 4real! i dont care if he'z respected in tha rap game or wuteva...there r sooo many betta rappaz than him itz ot even fun-. so Ricky Ross the so called "boss" needs to pack up take hiz money and go....main point...jus SHUT THE HELL UP
like this beat he beat me to the freestyle over this beat but what ever be in the look for the DJ XLR8 RAP DEBUT 14 years young and hotter then hell's equater
