The further I get into this mixtape, the lower the rating becomes. While Rick can choose a beat, at the same time too many sound the god damn same, if not with various beats on this album, with production Rick has been provided with in the past. Being an average rapper with limited subject matter, he can't afford to do that or it just gets boring. Speaking of average rappers, someone quite the opposite, Nas, provides some nice bars on 'Triple Beam Dreams' making it one of the more complete songs here. Overall, I could play most of these tracks sporadically and bounce (the production on 'MMG Untouchable' is amazingly bangin'), but in playing the whole mixtape, by the halfway way mark I start to feel bored. He didn't need to make this 80 minutes. Ross always has a few bangin' tracks though, so I'm still looking forward to the upcoming album.
Best Tracks: Holy Ghost, MMG Untouchable, Triple Beam Dreams, Keys to the Crib, Stay Schemin
