    Trilla's strongest moments arrive when Ross lets more flamboyant wordsmiths play off his rhymes. [15 Mar 2008, p.77]

    I suspect as Ross continues to evolve as a lyricist there will be even more of a message in his music, but in the meantime the production and guest stars on "Trilla" make for an effective album that shows Ross has yet to tap into his full potential.

    On album two, his focus switches from coke to cash as he booms about his fleet of Maybachs (on the soaring T-Pain synthfest 'The Boss') and prepaying his baby daughter’s college tuition.
  4. Pitchfork

    Trilla, Rick Ross's inexplicable second album, is every bit a fatty contemporary American disaster.

    Awesome southern rap album. Luxury Tax, Maybach Music and the Boss are instant bangers.

    No thanks; decent guest spots and beats overshadowed by Ross' complete lack of lyrical coherence.
