For years “Don’t Hold Me Back bro!” has been the rallying cry of frat boy fights nationwide, yelled by people who, in fact, want their friends to hold them back from a fight. Rick Ross, as always, has other plans. For his latest release, the MMG Bawse lets it be known that only God and a federal indictment could possibly Hold Me Back now. Producer G5 provides exactly the type of beat that’s become the blueprint of all Ross bangers, combining impossibly booming bass with a stuttering hi-hat and looped synth lines. It’s all the motivation Ross needs to list a litany of foes he’s overcome, from ex-girlfriends he’s had deported to their native countries to other rappers who found their careers deaded once they dared step to Ross. I’m not going to lie, after the success of Self Made 2 and the banger that is Hold Me Back, it doesn’t seem like anything can stop the arrival of Ross’ forthcoming album, God Forgives, I Don’t, due to blow out speakers worldwide this Tuesday, July 31.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on July 9, 2012

How many times are we going to get the same song, over the same tweaked production? I know Ross doesn't care about the net and is just concerned with feeding the streets, but even the streets get tired of the same thing after a while...

^^^ I'm with you Z... I'm ready for more diversity from Ross because he kills it on other beats. I hope the new album isn't all joints like this again... I still like it though.

Can't be a classic album with tracks like this. Though this isn't bad, it's just the same thing that's been pumped out by Ross, Jeezy and Plies for years....

^ I think 3 stars is too generous for a beat that's been recycled 30 times.

I liked it but it just sounds the same, Ross needs to switch up the beat more. Maybe some Deeper than Rap style beats.

How many times am I going to hear that same beat over and over again. Hope the whole album doesn't sound like that...

Rick Ross isn't much for quality control but this is pretty bad by his standards...
