    This album is terrible. it is not hip hop at all, ross is unable to rap on this album and the beat is wack. sorry man u really did bad on this 1 and the true hip hop/ rap listeners will be with me on this.

    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.

    This album was boring in my opinion, it's no different then any of his other albums, in fact, its worse. His voice is horrible. I mean, after everybody found out he was a C.O. he denied it, then finally admitted it with a bullshit excuse that anybody could have made up in 5 minutes. AND HE WANTS TO MAKE A WHOLE ALBUM ABOUT A LIFE OPPOSITE OF WHO HE WAS??? does this make sense? since This album was boring in my opinion, it's no different then any of his other albums, in fact, its worse.

    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.

    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.

    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.
