Album is the usual for Ross. Dude sticks to his formula faithfully. That's both good and bad.

All his albums seem to be a continuance of the last.

Damn Mafia Music III ws meant for Detox:

Bink! Says “Mafia Music III” Was Meant For "Detox"

Bink!, who also references DJ Khaled in his breakdown, described to XXL how his “Mafia Music III” beat went from a tentative Detox placement to its final form on Mastermind. “Well it's crazy,” Bink!, said, “it started over a year ago; I did the record for Dr. Dre, for Detox. Dr. Dre hired Ross to write his verse for him. So Ross wrote a verse for him and a verse for himself, and then he was supposed to put Rihanna on the hook. But, you know, Dre never revisited the record, and then Ross came back about a month and a half ago and wanted the record for himself. So I had to ask the Good Doctor for clearance. I actually made it WITH Dre; I was in Vegas with Dre working on it at the time. They brought Ross in later.

“Actually, Khaled called me. He was just ranting and raving about Ross' verse—his exact words were, 'Ross caught the Holy Spirit.' He kept saying that Ross had caught the Holy Ghost, 'We gotta have that, we gotta have that.' So I was like, you know, I gotta call up Big Homie and see if he'll let it go, 'cause I knew he was back in Detox mode again. I didn't know if he was gonna hold onto it or not this time around.”

Bink! also reported that he hasn’t heard the latest version of the song. “Dre was basically like, 'Ask him to send you a copy of the record, and if you like it, I'm with you. I'ma let you make the call.' Which is flattering to me, but at the same time that's what Big Homie told me. So I called them, they sent me the record, which they was very nervous about, because of course these days for some reason, when you send a rapper the music, they feel like their lyrics is worth more than the beat, and they don't send the song back.

“I still have yet to hear it," Bink! said. "'Cause when I heard it, it was just Ross and Mavado, but now they added Sizzla to it, so I still haven't heard Sizzla's verse. There's a serious disconnect, to be honest with you, with the music. It's not like it used to be.”

Im biased bc i like that soulful ross

He went more 'trap' on this. Never had to skip this much on a ross album.

But still got gems.

Mafia music 3 is genius to go the reggae route. Devil is a lie, that shyt w/ keith sweat (yes!), rich is gangsta, sanctified doesnt have the usual soul sample scrunch fave kanye feel but still cool.

What did yall disagree w/ on this? Not feelings lol Just curious how everybody looks at the album
 
That Blessing in Disguise...whooo. Nggas wonder why cats fuk w/ Ross...for me its b/c he's the continuation of that Roc era sound. He's the only ngga spittin over beats like that consistently.

I can just hear Beans spitin over that w/ Face.

Haven't heard it get but I heard some of that Nobody track. Idk how I feel about that just don't seem right. Probably need to get off my rap high horse. But I feel like some stuff is just untouchable.

Maybe ill warm up to it after a few listens.

^^^Damn Schoolboy Q outselln Ross??

Schoolboy sold close to 140, ross is probably gonna be in that 150range. Both r a success imo either way dude is on his 6th lp who woulda thought

 
Hiphop is changing, u dont really need a billboard charting single to sell. U just gotta build that core fanbase to cop your shit regardless of accolades.
