    Horrible Album, Ross Forgets What Solo Album Means, He Depends On The Guest Stars Too Much, The Only Thing That Is Not Garbage Are Some Beats But Ross Is Just Not A Decent Rapper

    This album is overrated. The lyrics on this album by Rick Ross aren't very good, and neither the production. The whole album is an edited version of scarface, that shows only the moments when al pacino is living well and getting laid. The end product just comes out as boring.

    One of the most overhyped, overrated albums of the year. GFID sucks. There's no artistic progression or evolution. It's the same **** he's done with Deeper Than Rap and Teflon Don. A fake dude using a fake persona to sell records. The beats were dope and the features did alright, but everything else about this album is **** First off, Rick Ross cannot rap; **** what you've heard.

A fake dude using a fake persona to sell records. The beats were dope and the features did alright, but everything else about this album is **** First off, Rick Ross cannot rap; **** what you've heard. He sucks on the mic with his basic ABC rhymes and uses the same flow all the time. Second, he's a one-dimensional artist who can't evolve out of his drug lord box. He talks about the same **** on every song; drugs, money, women, "real **** **** etc. And finally, HE'S FAKE!! Dude used to be a cop. Everyone knows. Why does he keep talking about being a drug kingpin when he hasn't even done any of that **** People who gives Rick Ross and his albums like this one praise are ****ing retards who don't know good music and just follows what the mainstream says is hot just like sheep. Rick Ross is not as good as people say he is. HE SUCKS!! HE CAN'T RAP!! HE'S A FAKE GANGSTA WHO'S ACTUALLY A C.O.!! -10/10… Expand

    This album will be overrated. So even if it's average at best, publications will hail it as something it is not (ive heard the album).

    Lyrically it is all shamelessly hollow, but Ross's album is seductively swish, its production sophisticated and strings and saxophone abound. [Oct 2012, p.75]

    It's thrilling. It's pantomime. It's what Ross does best.

    God Forgives' best moments... are fine examples of how big-budget rap can skilfully avoid crass clichés, and even convey no little emotion.
