    It's a big project, but it never drags, overreaches, or stumbles; Ross rhymes throughout with so much power and economy that it just keeps barreling forward.

    It's a record that uses nastiness to cement the character "Rick Ross" as three-dimensional, and uses a barrage of bangers to cement the rapper Rick Ross as an undeniable force.

    With Rich Forever, Ross continues to cement his position as one of hip-hop's best artists.

    Rich Forever, the mixtape teaser for his forthcoming God Forgives, I Don't, is quite successful at doing nothing new at all.

    Ross remains monomaniacally focused on monetary matters, spinning punch line after punch line about luxury cars, dripping jewels and high-grade cocaine.

    Rich Forever doesn't boast any potential mega-hits. But that's actually a good reason to give this a spin; the songs here are strong without shooting for the stars.

    Counting cash – and stacks of it – seemingly continues to prove this rapper's primary concern, rather than a desire to significantly stretch the artform.

    Another MMG (Maybach Music Group) instant guilty pleasure. Wale, Meek Mill, Pill, and Ricky "Rozay" Ross make every trip to and from a concertAnother MMG (Maybach Music Group) instant guilty pleasure. Wale, Meek Mill, Pill, and Ricky "Rozay" Ross make every trip to and from a concert hype time. Hell, Illuminati (single off Rich Forever) makes a trip to the grocery store super-hype time! I have only been listening to Rozay for a couple years now, but he is already at the top. When anyone at the top puts out free mix tapes like this, and they are of the same quality in a mix tape said rapper is of a special breed. Rick Ross is cut of the same cloth as Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Tupac, Biggy, and all the other greats. I can not wait to hear what the MMG "Don" has in store for his fans next!… Expand
