Rick Ross - Mafia Music
Artist: Rick Ross
Producer: The Inkredibles
Album: Deeper Than Rap
Label: Maybach Music/Def Jam
Though it’s been less than a year since his sophomore album, Trilla, was released, Rick Ross has already built up plenty of anticipation for his junior effort, Deeper Than Rap. Having parted ways with Slip-n-Slide Records, Ross will be releasing the album off his own Maybach Music Group imprint (while keeping his Def Jam distribution). Thus the stage is set for the first official street single. For Mafia Music, Ross bypasses the typical hook-and-verses formula (the title’s not even mentioned) and just spits one straight, inspired verse (with numerous potential quotables) over The Inkredibles’ epic-sounding, 4-minute and 20-second beat. Judging from Mafia Music, the audience should expect Deeper Than Rap to live up to its name (and then some!) when it’s released in April.
This song first appeared on the
Rap Chart

Yeah yeah, nothing too new with Rick Ross on this one. Dark, hard production with same-old lyrics. He's gotta take a step out of the box and do something to wow us. F for effort but B for quality of the track.

"Mafia Music" is a dope title for a song... but the overall product doesn't match. I love Ross' vocals, the production is great, and I like the chorus-less, bridge-less angle. Overall, though, Ross doesn't bring his A-game. It's in rotation, but I have higher expectations for his radio single.

Can't see this being a radio single. And the production, although great, doesn't match the title I agree. Needed more of a boom and grimey feel to really get that mafia music feel. His lyrics/sound is good as usual but his delivery made this kind of boring to me. I like the songs where he really sounds like a "boss" and this one isn't one to me.

Rick Ross dissed 50? uh oh I'm not sure if he wants to f*ck with Fiddy with this subpar track?
"Love to pay her bills/can’t wait to pay her rent/Curtis Jackson baby mama/I aint askin for a cent/Burn the house down/gotta buy another/don’t forget the gas can/jealous, stupid muthaf*cka" Ross if you gonna diss Fiddy you gotta come with your "A" game, plus this track is WEAK as f*ck to put a hit out on Fiddy. Inkredibles tried to be too theatrical with all those strings and ish, when it's time to take a jab atta n*gga you need that FIYAH! Mafia Music? More like Sloppia Music! Damn I luv M.I.A. too, it's not that I don't think he can rip Fiddy cause I know Ross is a BEAST when he wanna be a beast. I think right know you got too many yes n*ggas in your Maybach's. Triple C's dem n*ggas real goons errbody else just ridin for free, ain't even pitchin in on gas. Farrakhan and you not eating pork... N*gga I saw you eat a Vienna sausage when the spanish chick interviewed you on Deco Drive. You still one of my favorite rappers right now even if you dropped the ball on your first street single. So ima put this ish in rotation! Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase don't disappoint on your radio single featuring John Legend... |

His lyrics were nothin special, but better than some i've heard from Ross b4. The beat is alright, but gets tired after a while... I like the no-hook approach, but I just got bored after a couple minutes

I expected Rick Ross to flow harder on this track and come out with a hit. His last CD "Trilla" was dope, but if this song is on "Deeper than Rap" then im not buying it. And why is he trying to get at 50, with this sub par lyrics, he is going to shred him. I hope his next song can be worth listening 2.

Alright effort from Ross...nothing to go and yell about. This seems more like a mixtape track. & he will have to come harder if he wants to diss Curtis. And I'm not a big fan of Curtis, but I know he will eat this up.

This is only a street single, so this song was as good as i was expecting. Rick (The Boss) Ross is a good rapper & i expect a banger for is first radio single for shore. Expect a lot of 50 Cent disses in the next couple of months, especially after 50 came after Wayne (who is held in high regard by most MC's)

This reminds me of Lil' Wayne and Ludacris. Not in the sense that they sound alike or are even the same style, but both Wayne/Luda usually start their albums out with an intro song that usually contains no hook. I personally think tracks like this are dope because the hook doesn't dominate the song, just 4 minutes of Ricky flowin.

I love songs like this from Ross. Because it gives listeners a chance to see his true rap side. most people know him from his hits and his mainstream stuff and think that he isn't that great of a rapper, just a hit maker. It's really quite the opposite.

Guess who's bizack! Hope everything has been well peoples!
I heard this joint earlier this week. Surprisingly, the joints was pretty smooth from Ricky. I might actually go cop this new album. It sounds like it might be more lyrical than the other ones. I'll throw this in rotation. Why wouldn't you want this to be a single? We need more RAP records on the radio yo! |

ITS DA BOSS!!! I am feeling the beat on this and I think Ross Goes Hard on this! Rick's flow is like no other and he has been one of my favorites for a couple of years now. It's not necessarily the BEST lyrics out there, but the delivery is so BOSS...That's the only way I can describe it! LOL -
I really like his flow on here and I gotta agree with the other 4-star ratings/comments and state that this right here is a STRAIGHT DJ BLAZE BANGER!

Yeah this is the usual Ricky Ross on this. He seems to be stepping up the lyrics a bit, so it could be an interesting album, but this is not enough as a lead single, so lets see what he got next! In Rotation..

The music and the beat are excellent in my opinion, but I'm not a Rick Ross fan. I don't like his voice, he was good only in Speedin! I'd put this in rotation coz the music is hot

The Inkredibles, huh? Ok. Aye! Ross goes hard on this, like I would expect on a track called "Mafia Music". Always did dig Ricky Ross! Though I usually like songs that have a catchy chorus, he fills the song with good lyrical content without any of those commercial fillers many artists use to sell. This will go without all of the commercial gimmicks.

Ross came at 50 like a G. 50 always talkin bout how he gonn get another n!gga to do this and dat. played and he can't flow. I think he ought to try some r & b since everything he does he singing. He definitely can't see weezy so he need to stick wit what he knows crushin these east coast rappers careers cuz he f@#king wit da south believe dat.
