Rick Ross' Tears Of Joy Is One Of The Illest Songs Ever Made

[Lil Wango]

Song and beat was dope, Ross wasn't talkin bout shyt tho

 

[Wise]

All The Money In This World was big too.

I liked every song on that except Superhigh and No. 1

 

[fundz]

OG version featuring Cole

 

[DougFunnY]

Easily one of the best songs Ross has ever made...and Ross gets extra points for the Emmett Till reference. Great song overall. If this song came out in the 90s, it woulda been considered a hiphop classic

 

[Tuling]

biggie smalls in the flesh

 

[the cac mamba]

he manned up, admitted it on deeper than rap,

Yes he was. He was talking about how difficult it is for a nikka to reach the level of success he has, in the face of a system engineered for our downfall. Listen to the song. It's deep.

WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!?

 

[Lil Wango]

Yes he was. He was talking about how difficult it is for a nikka to reach the level of success he has, in the face of a system engineered for our downfall. Listen to the song. It's deep.

nikka please

Lookin at my rollie its a bout that time

 

[kermit da hustla]

nikka please

Lookin at my rollie its a bout that time

White man got a problem with mine.

He's talking about black excellence and how whites try to hinder our mobility. It is incisive commentary on the progress of black America.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

song is like ross entire discography, generic and soulless.

U giving that nikka too much credit. It really sounds like he just quotin some shyt he heard another rapper rap about. Like I said the premise and beat is dope, but its wasted cause ross doesn't have the lyrics nor depth to make it a classic. Its like a pitcher threw underhand to him and he bunted for a single.

 

[Canada Goose]

I agree OP, song is just


That Emmett Till line

Cee lo on the hook

My favorite Rick Ross song of all time

 

[Samilktray]

That Cole version sounds so weak in comparison.
