@luka @linebaugh I'll give Ross this he's got a great voice, this barrel chested husky thing that suits all his larger than life gaudy crime shit but imo he stinks and always has stunk. Him and Chris Brown occupy the same mental space for me in that when you tell certain people you don't like them they put it down to the specific moment that made their careers change seemingly overnight and that before that you was well into them.
Ross was a bloated plodding Jeezy clone when he first came out and if you go back to his early shit(including the couple tracks he did with Trick Daddy) there's no way you could tell he would've become what he was around 2009/2010 getting exposed as a CO was the best thing that happened to him and after that he really just cannonballed into his crime don persona, all surface his flow might've improved slightly but i've never found him endearing at all, drill made him archaic cause there's no way on earth his rapping style could keep up with the kind of stuff Keef and them were rapping on(something Fat Trel could do which is ironic cause i think he's still on MMG)
There's a segment of people who just want him to be this kind of mafioso jukebox who says the most ridiculous thing possible and their happy but that attitude as a mate of mine pointed out is no different to dem man who loved guys like doseone,sole and other white underground rappers of that ilk where you're meant to be dazzled by how "Impossibly technical" their rapping is.
