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.
-
Rick Ross is on pace to make his best and most complete album yet. He knows it. And soon hip hop fans will too.
-
The Miami-bred MC Rick Ross has faced a number of career obstacles in recent months--from damaged street credibility to a multi-episodic beef--so it's all the more impressive that on his third album, Deeper Than Rap, he presents his most cohesive work yet.
-
Deeper Than Rap triumphs over this authenticity deficit and is among the best rap albums so far this year.
-
He may rap like he's out of touch with reality, but with bass lines this deep and synths this huge, you might forget the present era's woes yourself.
-
Treated with the same suspension of belief accorded a summer blockbuster, Deeper Than Rap succeeds in its baroque but basic goals.
-
Ross seems to lack any sort of awareness of his shortcomings, dutifully plowing through middling, obvious shit-talking.
