    He certainly gets outshined by the original score--but that only serves to make a much better album than many anticipated from the Boss himself.

    Even if this isn't much "Deeper" than the average Three 6 Mafia album, the glitz and guts of Deeper are a big step up, making Ross sound like a Miami-fied version of Young Jeezy.

    Deeper provides more of the same flawless sonics, with production contributions from J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, the Runners, and DJ Toomp, and guest spots from Kanye West, Nas, and Lil Wayne. Amazingly, Ross himself has become less of an embarrassment on the mic.

    who cares if he used to be a correctional officer? just because he does not fit the traditional goon stereotype doesn't mean he cannot produce good music. Nice job Ross, you truly are the boss!… Expand

    This album is the best Rap album so far this year! Best production and mellow lyrics to balance it out.

    While Ross may be a talented artist he is a fraud and should refrain himself from speaking on topics of which he played no part in.Ross was a correctional officer,don't say your pushing blow, tell a story instead of emulating someone else lifestyle. PS releasing video's of saying 'Monkey' a million times did not help this decision.… Expand
