Do you know what song he sampled "Smokers Anthem" from? It was an old school song, I heard it a couple of years ago on the radio and I think it had the same beat but I know he took the hook melody from it

I disagree that Z-Ro has been putting out anything more than low quality music

i learned a long time ago..rap fans every where got that one group..who r fans of somebody...that they want stuck in one period of time

no matter wha that person do or achieve..


i hear it with ro all them time...n every album..somebody got a favorite where they compare the new to the old...all ro jam to me..regardless..jus happy he still puttin out shyt..

he can be like alot of texas vets who r irrelevant they had to get 9 to 5s..


jus know my dosage of ro..comes every other month...:russ:...i will be moody as hell if i jammed him 25-8

One of my favorite's doing it. He's got tons of quality material. The only problem, is when these random labels he was on release an album like it's new, when it just has recycled shyt all over it.

Him and Trae are great together. All that old Guerilla Maab shyt is classic, and that ABN album and mixtape are dope too.

Ro is one of the few artists that can REALLY pull off the deep shyt. Like, most of these cats that try, it just doesn't sound...I don't know...sincere? But when Ro gets on it, you can really feel that shyt. That's why I'd love to here him and Budden on a track (I'm pretty sure Joe was trying to get up with Ro, but only for a hook IIRC). They need to go ahead and do something.

Dude was like 18, 19 when his first album dropped and it was :ohhh: :obama: :damn: status



I can't even IMAGINE any rapper now-a-days under 30 making quality music like that, all these dudes talk about is bullshyt

Can somebody please tell me the definitive Zro album I should start with, as someone who's been looking to get into him for years.

Daps in advance.
