What is Ross lacking??
- Thread starter Silver Surfer
- Start date
Depth, creativity, conceptual focus.
You take one kind of beat, you can swap one verse out for another, nobody would notice
Also, too much volume, for someone so lacking in depth. A nikka like Ross is good for 15 songs a year, TOPS.

He has everything you claim he lacks minus 1,000,000 sold
Rick is everywhere online and in the community w/ no mainstream single to his name. You guys have to learn to appreciate something sweet while you still have it.
Once its gone you nikkas always get it

According to The Coli, Ross lacks:
Substance
Authenticity
Meaningful songs
Diversity
Realness
With that being said, Ross has still managed to sustain a consistent career of over six years. How does this happen to a rapper that lacks so much?
The only elements Rick Ross lacks are mass appeal and crossover records. Everything else can be argued.

someone start a 'write a ross verse' thread 
Exactly. Ross should do better numbers because he crossed that threshold.
Jeezy never reached this level of popularity.
1) Ross has access to the hottest producers in the game.
2) Ross has access to the most popular crew in the game with Young Money.
3) Ross is all over the radio (what's the last song Jeezy had all over the radio?)
I think Ross is trash, but he is killing it in every statistical category.
@ lames saying Ross lacks feeling, most rappers don't have a lot of feeling in their music. And those are the only rappers selling these days anyway.

U mean besides credibility???
From what everyone is saying, he's made the same album three times in a row. So he needs to be more creative and diverse.
I only heard his first 2 albums and I thought he was trash, never really listened to him since. But with all the wins he's been racking up, he should be doing better numbers. He might never sell like Eminem, but how he still selling like Jeezy?
