Jun 4, 2014Once again, Rick Ross has managed to out-do himself. Calling this album the album of the year is an understatement. So many classics. Nobody-DIAL-Mafia Music 3-War Ready-What a Shame might be the greatest stringing of songs ever, each transition so smoothly into each other. Wow. Rozay is the king of rap.

Mar 13, 2014Great production. It has some excellent beats, samples, and features. His voice retains the opulent feel and his flow is as impeccable as before. The lyrics are not so great however.

Mar 12, 2014This is one of the worst Rap albums I have ever heard. Take a close listen, and you will agree. The production is lazy. The rap is boring (flow and lyrics). I thought we were entering another Golden Age of rap, I was wrong.

Mar 5, 2014I like the collabos RR has done for this album (except with Diddy-stay behind the boards ni**a), although generally i am not a RR fan. The production is nice and fits RR's general style. Although he isn't saying anything new, lyrically i think this is his best work-which isn't saying THAT much. This was definetly produced to have more than a few singles hit the charts/clubs.

Mar 4, 2014Amazing production, great flow, good imagery. Very smooth. Just a great hip-hop record. It seems he has learned from his previous album, "God Forgives, I Don't" and stuck what he is best at. Mafioso storytelling over grandiose production.

Mar 4, 2014this is truly an incredible album. Rick Ross has finally learnt to successfully gives up on trying to satisfy done-to-death tropes and simply focuses on his strengths.

The WireJul 17, 2014It's only unfortunate that such a master of making Rick Ross albums must live in a world where there are already five other Rick Ross albums. [May 2014, p.74]

Q MagazineApr 23, 2014For a man who continues to spell his surname with two dollar signs, his act is lacking in real drama. [May 2014, p.121]

Apr 8, 2014The pieces tie together, and at the end of the day, there’s no denying that Mastermind is a fun album.
