Completely forgot about this song, and thank you for making me spin it back. Very strong verse, but it's still how Ross says it than what he actually says.Originally Posted by RetroSan

I couldn't at all tell you a standout Ross verse. His stuff is more flow than what is actually said.

Been saying this for years, he just seems to talk about things he has and a life style he never lived.... I can't remember a Ross verse off hand and that shows he doesn't say anything memorable. I know you guys hate Drake, but he puts out a great album does numbers and has memorable verses for said album so I would say this is Drakes era if anything. But we still got ye and plenty other guys before Ross

Lookin’ at my #%@*! I bet she give your $!* a bone
Lookin’ at my wrist it’ll turn your $!* to stone
Stretch limousine, sippin’ Rosé all along
Double-headed monster with a mind of his own
Cherry red chariot, excess is just my character
All black tux, @%@+@ the shoes lavender
I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
Had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired
Before his jaw shattered climbin’ up the Lord’s ladder
We still speedin’ runnin’ signs like they don’t matter
Uh, hater talkin’ never made me mad
Never that when I’m in my favorite papertag
Therefore G4s at the Clearport
When it come to tools fool I’m a Pep Boy
When it came to dope I was quick to export
Never tired of ballin’ so it’s on to the next sport
New Mercedes sedan, they’ll export
So many cars DMV though it was mail fraud
Different traps, I was gettin’ mail from
Polk County, Jacksonville, rep Melbourne
Whole clique’s appetite had tapeworms
Spinnin’ Teddy Pendergrass vinyl as my jay burns
I shed a tear before the nights over
God bless the man I put this ice over
Gettin’ 2Pac money twice over
Still a real @%@+@, red Coogi sweater, dice roller
I’m makin’ love to the angel of death
Catchin’ feelings never stumble retracin’ my steps
one of the better verses of the entire album

Make up your mind NT, are we gonna count sells or not? One thread oh its 2012 no one buys CDs anymore then it's damn he ain't sell nothing. Dude is hot and puts out bangers but wouldn't exactly say it's his era though but he gets some mention. It's more like YMCMB's era
by default.

Thank you ^^
One thing you can't deny is this is the era of the MMG beat, they have the same "sound". Everyone's hopped on a track with that beat, even Mac Millers done a track with the MMG beat

But Ross doesn't even have "the streets" like that. Jeezy has been bigger in the streets than Ross since Ross been out (cept maybe in Florida).
There's no argument for a Rick Ross era, not sales, not "the streets", not lyrics..nothing.

dont downplay your man's steady progressive lyrical accume, listen to something like "push it to da limit" and then listen to "triple beam dream"
that boy has only gotten better with time.

Abbreviation 101 champ. Anyway you saying Ross built an empire, reminds of Fred G. Sanford standing in front of his house and describing his junkyard as an empire......."Take a look at ALLLLL this"

1.) I'm not technically sure if the Warner deal was based off of his BMF MMG clout, and even if it was how is that a win? At 4 albums in my man
couldn't get a deal without taking a labels sloppy second artists along for the ride?
2.) Meek a superstar? No. Helped Meek gain sort of the mainstream hiphop popularity? Yes.
3.) Resurrecting Wale's career? Nah it was the same situation as Meek, and imo without Ross Wale might not have gained the popularity that he does
but I believe Wale would have had a bit of success by himself.
4.) I'm not sure if Gunplay is poppin in New York, down here in FLORIDA there really ain't nobody checking for him that I've seen.
5.) He sure is running the vlogs/blogs because of SELF promotion, which I'll admit he does a good job at.
MMG is NOT an empire, they're a team of popular rappers that have the spotlight right now. If you think that's building an empire, these men would like to speak to
you.

Get real son.
A EMPIRE, seriously? Hell no. When you have a EMPIRE you dont have to push back your album, you don't have two straight singles that flop on the charts, and you would've gone platinum by now. Hell, J. Cole will go platinum before Ross does (dead serious).
He's by no means the most consistent, he puts out a LOT of b.s. and has hit every now and then. I'll say Drake is easily the most consistent and personally I dont even like his style of music.
This reminds me of back when cats were saying Wayne was the "greatest rapper alive". Y'all fools will really start to believe anything if a rapper says it enough.
Edit: Hold on I ain't even see this.
He'd made Meek a superstar
And you can't be serious talking about Gunplay, hardly anybody is checking for him. I've never heard anybody just bumpin Gunplay, he's not even bigger than Alley Boy to keep it real.
He helped Wale's career, but he damn sure didn't "resurrect" it. Stop acting like Ross is a rap jesus

Meek aint a superstar yet but I F with the dude. Gotta wait till his first album to say that. I agree with everthing else. I dont see the point in bringing up sales when its only a few rappers selling. Wayne is trash now, Drake sings to damn much to just put him in the hip hop category. Jay bar for bar is probably still the best rapper but his era was late 90's early 00's. So that leaves Kanye and Ross. Taking albums and mixtapes I give Ross the edge.
