    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!

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

    this album as a sound that not so common, it has a sun loving beach sound that easy to get stuck in your head. everyone thats so worried about his reputation needs to chill out and just listen to some music thats makes you move. chill out.

    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.
