**The Official Rick Ross Appreciation Thread PART 2: "God Forgives, I Don’t" THE ALBUM**

[tony3di]

I don't understand the hate on Rick Ross, since when did it take a college degree to become a correctional officer? it's folks who have legitimate careers & business who also run illegal businesses on the side, boys have to eat! and as yall can see Rozay been eating well, you don't just come out with cd after cd, and your whole state rock with you for being fake, i'm sorry, i mean honestly what is real these days? dude puts out great albums,mixtapes..etc. and works his #$@ off, i can respect that

DICED PINEAPPLES

I'm feeling it. Drake floated, good Ross verses and the beat was smooth. That Wale part at the beginning was totally unnecessary though, prob going to cut it out in my Itunes once I get the album, and his verse was meh.

Low expectations tho...don't expect it to be better than DTR or TD.

You not from the 90's era because if you were you'd realize that is when the "Rick Rosses" started surfacing. That's when dudes started getting exposed and that was without the INTERNET. Imagine had the internet been as relevant then as it is now?

thats what i was saying too yo. The usher joint seems like a radio type song but everything else?? i dont understand

This new Triple Beam Dreams beat...

. That might not matter to most in terms of judging the album but the GFID one is replacing the Rich Forever one in my top rated.

I finished the album a while back and on my first listen I'm pretty pleased with it. I'm feeling the sound of the album as a whole; the beat selection is nice and even the heavy trap sounding beats (Hold Me Back, 911, So Sophisticated) sound good mixed in with the rest of the album cause its a strong contrast and gives it variety. In terms of subject matter its what I expected and I have no issues with that. Rick Ross is Rick Ross, we all know what hes going to rap about. He came correct on this one and delivered what can be considered a total package for him in terms of lyrics, flow, subject matter, etc etc. If Rich Forever was supposed to be the album and it got scrapped for this then it was without a doubt the right decision. IDK if there was much else he could have done in terms of putting out the album that people wanted to hear, if this flops and he fazes out then so be it, he came as hard as he could have with this one and I'm a fan of it.

This is subject to change but my favorite tracks on this album are

Pirates

3 Kings

Ashamed

MM4

Amsterdam

911

So Sophisticated

Presidential

Diced Pineapples

10 Jesus Pieces

Triple Beam Dreams and Rich Forever have to be included because of the rumors of them slated to be on GFID and if they didnt release till now I would have definitely included them on this list.

Cosign. His single choice is puzzling to say the least. Even replacing Hold Me Back with 911 would have done wonders for him seeing as how those songs seem to be very similar and yet one of them is much better than the other one (911)

I'm 23 and I dont agree with this. I really couldnt care less how real my musicians are, it seems like something not getting worked up on. This is an overused stance, but its music, not all of it is going to be true, especially in rap where the artists exaggerate and sometimes flat out lie.

If it starts here where does it end? Will people need to have video cameras around 24/7 proving that theyre bout it. Getting hung up on stuff like this is how people get put in the worst type of situations trying to prove that theyre bout it.
