    If he was hoping to prime his artists for individual success, he's got a long way to go. But if he was simply looking to keep Maybach's name on everyone mind via a loosely defined collection of bangers, well then it looks like Rick Ross still can't do wrong.

    Ross is better when he's more ambitious, when he goes beyond the tired hood-rap/pop-rap divisions.

    By the sound of this showcase for three rappers he signed to his record label, he's a good one [mogul]. Meek Mill offers gruff gangsta-isms; Wale flaunts his sleek bohemian-hardcore style on bragfests like "600 Benz." But the real find is Pill, who steps up to the major leagues without taking the street-level grit out of crack-trade tales like "Pacman."

    With folks like Currensy and French Montana lending features, along with a producers list that goes from Lex Luger to Lee Majors, the album is stuffed as it could be, but Ross has always been a wizard when it comes to picking high-profile friends that deliver.

    This album is a classic group album, because it keeps the Rick Ross street banger formula, while Meek Wale and Pill just complement it withThis album is a classic group album, because it keeps the Rick Ross street banger formula, while Meek Wale and Pill just complement it with some great verses. Personally, the best song was definitely the Pill and Gunplay collaboration "Don't Let Me Go" I am excited for Self Made 3, but I still rock songs like Fitted Cap, 600 Benz, Tupac Back, and of course I'ma Boss… Full Review »
