Ross is putting out good music now.... But yeah no Lollipop, Amilli, Mrs. Officer...
Not getting 2 Chainz signed really hurt him too...
Definitely. 2 Chainz would have been huge for dude (and a good fit). I wonder how the negotiations for him went between the big guys in hip hop, because Good music is a weird label for dude, although theyre making more trappy shit these days.
Im listening to GFID full through right now... This shit is alright. There certainly aint nothing wrong with it. I like this So Sophisticated joint... The problem with it is that nothing on it grabs me or stands out. It sounds like the kind of shit the scene will love, but it doesnt have that x factor that grabs the public. This shit is so
safe. I think itll probably do Ambition sales/reviews but a little better, and its similar. Like Kams said this album is kinda making a beeline for the females but that route wont work for Ross imo.
I think he would have done better trying to take trap to the next level: harder, faster, layered production. Thats why people like Ross. His music has the thump of trap shit but has enough lyrical meat to get a lot of the hip hop fanbase interested. As it stands now this shit is like a sampler of trends, and thats not compelling to me.
