Wait you think these dudes sound like and make the same style of music as Ross? Excluding subject matter.

Dude asked how is Ross not original..but of course no rapper sounds the same..especially if you want to compare the production of the artists.

The content is the same though

My point is Ross has not grown since his first album..and if you gonna be mentioned with the all time greats, you gotta at least be creative and semi-original with each album.

My questions to the treadstarter:

What are you gripes with Ross? Do you think he is merely avg? If so, then songs can be posted to show otherwise.

Do you think he's not versatile enough with his songs? If so, then songs can be posted to show otherwise.

Do you think he's makes the same sounding music as alot of other artists? If so go ahead post examples besides his trap songs.

Basically you mad because you feel like rappers better than him don't get the same attention. That's fukk nikka & p*ssy hoe hate right there.

He aint the best rapper in the world, but he's nice all around and makes great music and therefore deserves the attention and spot that he's in.

All these nikkas rap about the same shyt they came in the game rapping about. Nobody give a shyt about personal growth as much as staying fresh musically. If you can rap about the same topics as always but still have music sounding fresh & you not :flabbynsick: on the mic, that's all that matters. Dope, quality, fresh music. Why would you care about anything else?

Lets use Pac as an example..He came in the game with 2pacalypse..talking about the black struggle and racism..brenda having babies..etc,

5 years later we got Makaveli from him..its not even in the same ballpark content wise, quality wise, beat wise..thats what great artists do..they reinvent themselves.

Ludacris is flatout wack. Ross' is nice. Dude got a crazy flow. His content ain't no more redundant than anyone elses.

:what::comeon: ludacris flat out Wack?? He might have fallen off but has a million more classic songs than Ross . Uou can play old ludacris songs at parties no one throwing on trilla anywhere.

Uh..apparently not, homie.

Listening to Rick Ross the drug kingpin in 2012 is like watching the movie Scarface for the thousandth time. Except the shyt is being passed off as new music and we're all somehow supposed to ignore that fact.

What spot exactly ,?? He's never even went platinum . And you guys in here overrate him like crazy. He's versatile ? Not at all , better than average ? At what not rapping. He makes catchy songs that's it and most of that is features and beats . Hustling and BMf are like his only standout solo songs .

nikka is overproduced as fukk

Maybach Music IV was like a Big Mac on a diamond encrusted gold platter brought in by the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models on a private jet to Aruba in December

I was listenin to some of these beats... like :wow: I hope they drop an instrumental version man someone could really do these things justice

Hook game is also terrible

Content :heh: U could switch one verse w/his next and nobody would know

He has a lil flow though

Not sure what you looking for though. A nikka like Rae still rap about coke almost exclusively but nobody bytches about that.

Rick Ross is more creative than Raekwon now

Raekwon, w/whom Rick Ross prob wouldn't exist, who gave this nikka a style to run with?

Raekwon, the godfather of mafioso coke word association rap?

:usure:

And Black Ball I think u got "diverse" confused with "songs that Black Ball likes"... what is diverse about those songs

Does RR have any storytelling joints? Any songs that aren't about cocaine/crab meat/cars/rich living?

Dude can rap, dude has a great ear for beats, but lets keep things in perspective :beli:

Exactly. He's not even the biggest rapper in the game, yet nigs feel like he's getting too much credit/attention or whatever.

He has good lyrics with imagery in his music. shyt sounds good to the ear.:manny:

Personally that's all I care about.:manny:

But I don't really stan Ross or think he's the best rapper or anything. I like alot of rappers that make alot of good music. I don't need every rapper to fill every category for me. In fact I'd probably be mad if Ross tried to be different for the sake of being different and started dropping wack music.

Also I never said that Ross was better than Rae or anything like that. Seems like people selectively criticize 1 rapper for doing something alot of other rappers are guilty of doing. Just pointing out the hypocrisy.
