Rick Ross - Deeper Than Rap

Yo! Yo! Yooo! Wasss’up Y’all . OK! i’m here to write abt Hip-Hop and how it has unknowingly taken a lot of my listening time. Why i like Hip-Hop? Everything abt it is freaking cool man, from the bling, the whips, the rhymes and of course the beats. Recently i was listening to Rick Ross’s new outing “Deeper Than Rap”.Here's my take on it.
Listening to a couple of songs in the album you’ll immediately understand the signature thing of RR. The songs are filled with all these fairy, rich, dreamy synths/keys/melodies making the music sound rich. Literally you are feeling rich and wealthy listening to it. Pump up that music in your car and you feel like ur in a Maybach, living the rich life. Well, That’s a very good way of selling records, and the immense publicity from the beef with 50 cent helped the album too.
For me, the break out song is “Magnificent” feat John Legend , though “Mafia Music” is running around the stations more. I dont like “Mafia Music” coz the tune of the song is very similar to “Runaway Love” by ludacris feat Mary.J.Blige .I like Magnificent coz of its punchy beats and all the bells & whistles going around it as in any other RR song from this album. Though I dint dig John Legends Hook, which apparently he tuned it by himself, the arrangement of the song saves it.The next song for me is “Maybach Music” feat T-Pain, kanye West and Lil Wayne. The hook here is amazing, i luuuv the tune and the vocals of this. This is again accompanied by the signature touches but, would have loved if the beats were more punchy, they seemed soft for my taste.
You’ve got a parade of artists collaborating for this album as is the general norm of Hip-Hop artists these days. It’s a good thing though coz you’ve got variety in the album with a lot of inputs coming in from different talents. Overall a very good album, chk it out!

P.S.: 50 cents has left Interscope and signed a deal worth 100 million with Live nation.
