Rick Ross' Legacy, What is it?

[Busta Carmichael]

Would Ross outshine 50 on a track?

I don't know. I couldn't tell you the last verse from either of those dudes I can remember.

When someone speaks about your music and it's never about the lyrics, flow, concepts, or creativity..its always about the beat that carries you...that should set off alarms

 

[5th Letter]

He had a good run.

He's got a good ear for beats...

:joy: that's all I got

 

[DarthRozay]

He's made good music, but he's rarely ever the reason it's dope.

He's basically a black DJ Khaled, but he actually adds something to the song other than screaming ad libs.

He's a caricature with his whole BAUCE image and all the shit he says, which might be corny 10-20 years down the line when we look back

Actually he's one of the better MCs I've heard in the past 10 years, which isn't saying a lot because I kinda stopped checking for Hip Hop around 2005.

I like him because he uses that rapid fire delivery like Nas, Raekwon or Biggie. He doesn't rap with a Southern drawl which is a plus and like everybody else said, his beats are dope.

But truthfully the only album I've heard from him was Deeper Than Rap, which is a solid album.

But I think I've heard enough of him to say he's not in my top 10 or 15.

 

[blackrain]

He'll go down as having one of the best ear for beats of all time...

 

[achewon87]

He crafts well produced albums...

Nothing innovative imo...

Ross can rap though

Respect that man

 

[jono]

He's consistent too. You know what you're gonna get from a Rick Ross album. One could take this as a lack of creativity but a lot of artists are inconsistent and fall off. Since he found that sweet spot musically he's stayed in his lane.

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

Ross can spit though

 

[Lou Cypher]

Fat

 

[grYmes]

He ate off this game & hustled I do respect that, but nothin about him lyrically or personality wise feels genuine to me. I feel like he'd be chewed up and spit out if his career began in the 90s (can say that about a lot of rappers but him especially thanks to the CO stint). He's a product of good timing.

Not in today's culture. There's a lot of cats that don't write their own rhymes now, niggas that are inconsistent with their flows and content, and have no real individuality.

 

[soul rattler]

He is undoubtedly the most improved rapper of all time.

 

[just.might.b.ok]

Get Rick Ross to pick the beats for a Nas album = best produced Nas album ever.

 

[Shizlansky]

Got the second best album out this year

Would Ross outshine 50 on a track?

Hell nah.
