Rick Ross: God Forgivevs, I Don't Review(Track by Track Review)


Rick Ross

God Forgives, I Don’t
Track by Track Review


Pray for Us- The intro….some guy is praying to God, then u hear a drive by and the famous Rick Ross “RUH”

6.5/10


Pirates-A great intro song. The beat is on point. “We just Pirates tryin to stay float”

8.5/10


3 Kings- Ross is joined by Dr. Dre and Jay-z here. Dre says “listen to this through my headphones”, Ross says “Listen to this in my Maybach”. Jay-z’s verse is good as he says “Niggas can’t f*** with my daughter’s room”. The beat is hot, but lyrically its not as good as it could have been

9/10


Ashamed-This track is really smooth. I love the sample. Ross gets it done.

8.5/10


Maybach Music IV-The 4th edition of Maybach Music is as smooth as possible but I think it’s the worst of the 4. Ne-yo’s part is a nice touch but I wanted to hear more of him here.

8.5/10


Sixteen- The smooth songs continue. This song is dope. Ross is joined by Andre 3000 who steals the show at the end of the long song.

9.5/10


Amsterdam- Maybach music….Ross brags about. The beat is real laid back.

7.5/10


Hold Me Back-A great Ross song; it reminds me of his old style….its dope.

8.5/10


911- This song builds on the cohesiveness of the last track, but it’s a little too repetitive.

8/10


So Sophisticated-This song has a really cool beat. Meek Millz shows up to have the last verse. Its not a great verse but it’ll do.

8.5/10


Presidential- I’ve never heard a Rick Ross song quite like this. The beat and sample are decent. It’s the first of a few tracks dedicated to the ladies. The chorus is nothing special.

7.5/10


Ice Cold- Omarion’s chorus really steals the show on this track. This is one dope track. The only bad thing about this song is it’s in the middle of 4 similar songs.

8.5/10


Touch N You- Not to be outdone, Usher joins Ross. This song is superior to the other 4 though. The chorus is f***in you….repeated. However this is one nice song. This song reminds me of the song on Usher’s album where he’s joined by Ross.

9/10


Diced Pineapples- Here’s an interesting song. Ross is joined by Wale & Drake. Wale just doesn’t impress me these days, but Drake does his thing. This is a good laid back song.

8/10


Ten Jesus Pieces- The album closer…it’s a good track, but a little long. Ross doesn’t let his guest steal the show this time.

8/10


Triple Beam- The first of the bonus tracks, Ross is joined by the elite rapper, Nas. Nas steals the show little effort….but this song isn’t as interesting  as the song on Nas’s album, Accident Murderer

8.5/10


Rich Forever- The final track features John Legend. Legend always does well on choruses. It’s a nice end to the album.

8/10

I give this album 8.75/10. Its a great album, but not quite as great as Teflon Don...but its a smooth listen.

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20)      Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19)          Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”.   18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on  Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
