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.

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
