Track by Track Review
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.
