The Official Rick Ross "Mastermind" Album Thread (3.4.14)

[Trillaaaaaa]

Every track on the album is fuckin flames!!!!!!

Niggas that gave this album a bad review is letting blind hatred affect their objectivity

 

[DOPEdweebz]

Boy yall niggas had a lot to say until this album out. Now that he may have one the best albums of the year.....niggas got VERY quiet.....

Negativity spreads faster. Look at the schoolboy vs ross thread to see how that initially started

 

[Rubato Garcia]

album of the year?? its to early to tell

I don't see anything touching this...

Maybe the Carter 5 if Wayne isn't on his silly shit...but his audience is different so I think he will be...

Kendrick got a new album dropping this fall

 

[d.green]

War ready, track with Face and the track with Wayne are the best tracks I've heard so far from this project.

[Da Homey Six Deuce]

Deeper Than Rap was my fav one too...but Mastermind got it...I was in doubt for a long time but...i think MM got it....just barely........

Reminds me a bit if Teflon Don.

damn, meek mill woulda been better in tracy t place on war ready

 

[M.A.D.E.]

Scarface has the best verse on the album. Flow, Storytelling, everything you looking for. When you hear Face spit then hear Ross's verse after, you realize its really levels to this hip hop shit. Ross goes a bit overboard with the grandiose boss tales at times on this album but production is on point as usual. With that being said, Album is nice. Its typical Ross but 10 times better than GFID.

Fah sho yall

 

[hnic1978]

And its more than beats........Ross stepped his game up big time.....He wasn't bullshittin this time around and it shows.

 

[Mr.LV]

Paradise lost wooooo that shit is smooth.

 

[B_A]

In vein is mu favorite song

this and thug cry

 

[stackmaster 313]

Good beatsan production hard to take this cat serious. Getting shot at was probably the best thing for his career streetwise...

 

[25centsandwich]

Dope album...really dope. Not better than Deeper Than Rap or Trilla imo because those albums are more william roberts than rick ross....which is when he is at his best.

If I had to rate them it would be:

Deeper Than Rap (his breakthrough and closest to a classic. only a couple of wack tracks but you got usual suspects mafia music valley of death rich off cocaine etc.)

Trilla (most underrated album...his flow really started to take off)

Mastermind (just a dope all the way around...in vein mafia music 3 supreme etc.)

Teflon Don (dope but a bit overrated...no really weak tracks but some of the tracks were lukewarm...only mc hammer/bmf and all the money in the world stood out to me)

Port of Miami (some really great tracks but he didnt find his flow on alot of them)

God Forgives I Dont (wack only a few good songs imo)
