Entertainment WeeklyTrilla'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.
-
There are too many throwaway songs and guests (Nelly?), but Ross can still expose all the thrills of Miami vice.
-
If Ross spouts myriad clunkers, his cadence is at least smooth and his voice cushiony, and so if it's possible to ignore the rapper and focus on the production, Trilla becomes an enjoyable listen.
-
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.
-
The beats are terrific--the problem here is the MC.
-
Trilla, Rick Ross's inexplicable second album, is every bit a fatty contemporary American disaster.

WesM.Apr 1, 2008No thanks; decent guest spots and beats overshadowed by Ross' complete lack of lyrical coherence.
