What is Ross lacking??

[Silver Surfer]

Completely over-saturated in the industry and Jeezy still sell more

 

[Broccoli Rob]

Definitely not arterial plaque.

 

[newarkhiphop]

Authenticity.


Ross is over hyped , out in the real world jeezy is way more popular. he is not the rap gawd some yall make him out to be.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Meaningful songs.....

Now I just see him as a rapper playing a character named "Rick Ross"

He can rap, but his verses just feel like he is on autopilot.

 

[Monoblock]

[just my thoughts]

Story telling

 

[Primetime21]

Diversity, depth, substance

 

[malbaker86]

He doesn't have that "it" as a rapper when you listen to his music. Musically he doesn't stand out

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

Spoiler

fruits and veggies

 

[Heafcliffe]

Diversity, depth, substance

This!

And the ability to "fall back" and have people/ fans really anticipate his "art."

 

[Youngdev]

Oh boy another thread about ross and what he is lacking

for someone not authentic with no substance with a lack of depth he is doing damn well in my book

Dude, you don't need any of the above to do "damn well." Britney Spears and the Jonas Brothers could tell you that.

Thats why I made that thread a while back saying who's legacy will be stronger Trick or Ross.......Trick stuff is almost timeless...Ross music is good, but forgettable

 

[Long Live The Kane]

A big transcendent hit record...all that other stuff y'all mentioning is , worthless messegeboard rhetoric "authenticity" and "depth" ain't selling records

GFID is the biggest debut of his career despite having the weakest single rollout he's had so far for the lead in of his albums...if he had a huge hit single with a Hard Knock Life, In The Club, Lollipop, etc. type of impact he prolly would've made a bigger jump than he did and ascended to the platinum club with this album...but no dice...

Good way to describe it. "Good but forgettable."

His notable tracks to me are:

Hustlin
BMF
Live Fast Die Young
Aston Martin Muzak
MC Hammer
My bytches

But none of them, except maybe the first two are anything to write home about. And none of them, except maybe the first two had me like
