i like how ross finds these socially awkward blog rappers,
corrupts their minds with groupie bitches, rental cars, a lil rapper fame
and gets em addicted to the fast life
then booom, they pledge allegiane to that mmg – they dont wanna go back to that regular blog rap life

One of the most valuable attributes a rap artist can posses in today’s climate.
July 14th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
Nas announced the album’s title after a performance on May 18, 2006 [4][5] In a late September interview on English DJ Tim Westwood’s Radio show, Nas said, “Hip-hop is dead because we as artists no longer have the power.” He went on to say, “Could you imagine what 50 Cent could be doing, Nas, Jay, Eminem, if we were the Jimmy Iovines? Could you imagine the power we’d have? I think that’s where we’re headed.”

Most sources say Kanye is about 80 to 90.He made 17 this past year.Nas doesn’t make the kind of music that makes money.Nas is like 30 from what I can surmise.He doesn’t have multi platinum singles and placements in commercials and movies,massive tours(I think WTT is the biggest selling rap tour ever with 100 mill+),or lucrative side ventures ie. Air Yeezy or Louis Vuitton shoe deal.
July 14th, 2012 at 4:05 pm

Keeping in mind that two of said platinum albums dropped the same year (1999), each having two hit singles apiece.
So when exactly did that ten year span take place that Jay spoke about on Takeover? I remember him lying about an “average” of some sort…

But what kind of fool you think Nas is if he’s gonna be worth $30 M and he says with a straight face he’s worth $200 Ms

Jay-Z, Diddy they wouldn’t be laughing in his face if he was that ridiculous ?

i ain’t mad though. respect the god, he gave us one of the illest albums of all time with Illmatic and with all the critical acclaim Life Is Good has gotten he doesn’t look as though he’s slowing down at all. Jay on the other hand is mad lethargic, if we keeping it funky the production and Kanye made Watch the Throne what it was. Niggas typing like groupies trying to count Nas chips though, guarantee Life Is Good does better first week than MC Weedrap Stoned Immaculate.
July 14th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
All the legends still doing it big from the 90s is worth $100M + ( Some the Plus is Really Big )

I don’t see why Nas is that different
All that money to play with for 2 Decades ?
And he ain’t that ostentatious either

50 million in expenses?Kanye isn’t one of those MMG niggas who’s just frivolously spends.And he was producing multi platinum records for 4 years before he became a solo artist so there’s probrably another 20-30 that’s not reflected on that list.

This is all conjecture
Like last time you have no official source saying Kanye is worth $80 Ms when you just said most sources are saying that
Earnings also don’t necessary reflect taxes either
Unless you have a reliable source that says his net worth is $80 M I’ll go by the Forbes estimate which as of May 2012 says he’s worth only $35 Ms

Nas has been in the game 5 times as long as Kanye. And he’s been consistent as fuck sales-wise. All things considered, I can’t imagine either one having much more net worth than the other. Maybe in another decade Kanye will be a billionaire, assuming he can maintain his current level of success.

At this point in his career Nas just makes it crystal clear how far the Camel has regressed as an MC. Hov will always get attention & press when he drops an album but left on his own, I’m not sure he can come up with anything better then what he pulled with American Gangster. Kanye helped make WTT what it was. Jay did his thing but conceptually & musically, you know Kanye was driving the ship.
I bet Nas ends up on WTT2 somehow.

Been trying to understand the buzz behind him & the day after I throw him back on the iTouch, he gets signed to MMG.
He seems like Ross’s answer to acts like Big Sean, Kid Ink & Driicky Graham. I can see this being a good move & a bid to grab a younger demo as well as get some female fans.
Ross is a master of promotion. If anyone can get this kid across to the mainstream, it’s Rozay.

Can it be the same one on covers with Warren Buffet
Was ducking the undercovers, was warring with motherfuckers?
Went from warring to Warren, undercovers to covers
If you believe in that sort of luck your screws need adjusting
In the world of no justice and black ladies on the back of buses
I’m the immaculate conception of rappers-slash-hustlers
My God it’s so hard to conceive
But it all falls perfect I’m like autumn is to trees
The doc interrupted, he scribbled a prescription for some Prozac
He said: “take that for your mustard, boy
You must be off your rocker
If you think you’ll make it off the strip before they ‘Pac ya
Nigga you gotta be psychotic
Or mixing something potent with your vodka
It takes a lot to shock us
But you being so prosperous is preposterous
How could this nappy headed boy from out the projects
Be the apple of America’s obsession?
You totally disconnected with reality
Don’t believe in dreams
Since when did black men become kings”

mmmh. I think that’s mostly incidental.

I think it’s possibly because he’s also just a nerd who happened to get on by playing the luxury life with a shady past act.

Deluxe Editions suck dick b.
Either say they are a part of the album & sequence them in properly, or hold em for another project.
When Wayne’s Mirrors dropped, was that a way of having both versions of the album on the charts or is it all about them iTunes sales?

his verses are easily broken down into small outrageous statements
its t-shirt rap. some of it clever, some of it, not so much
July 14th, 2012 at 6:03 pm
he manages to kick game without sounding all preachy and straightedge
^^^^
Cause he doesn’t talk down to the listener or take a “Holier Then Thou” stance.
What if God was one of us?

^definitely.
without knowing him or his music that well at all, I feel like “life is good” is EXACTLY what rick ross has been trying to capture on his last 2-3 albums. he just doesnt have that natural poetic finesse. like he’s a nas fan with a deal minus the pen game
July 14th, 2012 at 6:07 pm

July 14th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
Ross is clever tho. He might not drop as many gems as he thinks he does, but there’s a level of skill & imagination that goes into his verses.
July 14th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
Can’t criticize niggas tryin’ to get jobs
Better get smart – young brother, live yours!
Only live once and I got two kids
And for me to feed them, I’d get two gigs
I’d shovel shit, I’d C.O
So we can bow our head and pray over the meatloaf
I’m looking at the big picture
Keep a bitch wit’cha, tryin’ to get a bit richer
July 14th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
My ambition to win, just to get me some ends
Help me pay my little rent, maybe sit in a Benz

Can’t talk snow, where the soft at
Your man got murked, but you squashed that
Hope you know what we call that
I think you know just what we call that.
July 14th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
You could make the argument that Ross has been making mid to late 90′s Mafia Rap. So OB4CL and It was Written are definite influences.
LIG is on another level of introspection and real shit that Ross can never touch… cuz he’s a liar.
July 14th, 2012 at 6:16 pm
^^did he actually say that? “I’d C.O.”? I didn’t know he ever addressed that directly. I thought he just acted like it didn’t happen, kept it moving. I thought it was a pretty g move bordering on mentally ill.
nas kind of fucked up life is good with the middle part having that mary j blige song then the swizz beats shit. like “the don” wasn’t already the summer radio hit of the century.
where’d he dig up miguel and anthony hamilton from *doesnt make amy winehouse joke* *actually just kinda did*
July 14th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
I mean even calling yaself Rick Ross is the equivalent of throwing “Gotti” or “Gambino” at the end of ya name.

^Ohhhh shit. You right though.
July 14th, 2012 at 6:27 pm
true. it’s like I see what he’s going for with this mmg thing, the miami luxury life and all that. but build a team that represents that. dont take a wale and a stalley and try to hammer them into something that they’re not. wait a minute. that’s what ross did to himself. damn. nevermind.

You could, but you’d looking like an idiot.
There’s no way Nas is currently worth $200 million. Outside of albums and touring, he really doesn’t have any alternate sources of revenue: no endorsements, no clothing line, no production, etc. He probably does quite well and I wouldn’t be surprised if he annually surpasses $10 million, but even $70 million is pushing it.
July 14th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Ross and Roc Marc definitely inspired by that Firm movement. Ross been moving away from that lately though.

July 14th, 2012 at 8:13 pm
Something about ‘Life Is Good’ just isn’t connecting with me. The songs are kind of aimless, and the flows aren’t diverse. Not to say the beats and rhymes aren’t dope, but at this point it’s feeling like the parts are greater than the sum.
Granted, I’ve only given it like 3 full listens, so this opinion my do a complete 180.

Listen to my shit, mixtape is coming soon. Rich white kids can be raw, why couldn’t we be? Hiphop’s bread and butter is white suburban kids who are ashamed of their parents’ wealth, because they want to relate to their favorite rapper so bad, and end up acting black, which irritates the fuck out of everybody. This is me, French Kevin, and I’m gonna make music for those kids, so we can all be ourselves and be proud and secure about who we are. Instead of rapping about drugs, guns, and poverty, you’re gonna hear about stealing daddy’s car, getting a blowjob from mommy’s housekeeper, and staying in college for 8 years living off grandpa’s railroad bonds. Call me cornholio living off daddy’s portfolio.

Fucking horrendous. You will never succeed in rap. Go back to spending that trust fund money or if you’re a poor whitey just kill yourself, seriously, just carjack someone and then drive their car full speed into a tree, no safety belt – it will at least net you a news story and they might even play a snippet of your song.

Damn, you ain’t have to do the boy Francois like that. Lol, but yo, French K I was being very sarcastic in my adulation of your song. I thought it was atrocious. With that said, you seemed to handle the critiscm from Trouble and them decently. A level mind, persistence and positive attitude can do wonders in this thing called hiphop. I commend the courage of your stance. But the flow was pretty awful. Don’t let me step on your dreams though. Just take the criticsm you receive here as a learning lesson, and imagine how it would be to receive the same response on stage in person. Now think of a way to change that negative response into a positive one. Easier said than done, but it’s possible. Everybody has a lane. Keep driving til you find yours.
Step your game up.

Hey it’s alright if some don’t like it, I’ll progress through my skills and I will get better. I mostly make beats and mixes. Sometimes I get the urge to drop a verse, this was one of them. Negativity only affects me positively. I’ve beaten the odds many times before in my life, I’m 27 and I’ve learned to speak 3 languages fluently, English being my 2nd. Of course right now it looks like I’m pulling out my cock and bragging about it, but it’s not like that. Just an assessment of my mental strength. I love you all, and I appreciate that you took the time to click on my link and listen to my shit, however “atrocious” you thought it was. Thank you.
PS: saying “kill yourself” is annoying as fuck, it was gay as shit years ago back when everybody said it, and it still is. I know most of you don’t have an ounce of originality in your bodies, but please try your hardest to find another way to insult people. Thank you that is all.

@ French Kevin please explain how you beat the odds. No shots but you still sound like a trust fund baby. Speaking 3 languages screams “upper class.” If beating the odds means “holding it together when daddy gave me a 3 series Beamer while all my friends had 5 series of better”, that ain’t odds, my nicca. Odds is when your mom leaves the house in the mornings and comes back the next morning and you eating pancake mix with a spoon hoping it sticks to your ribs because you hungry as fuck. That’s why the rap game is in tatters, niccas like you are fucking it all up: no skills and no narratives, just a lot of $ to put out a whole bunch of fuckshit. Dog, take it from me, your lyrics is wack as fuck and will never be dope. That being said, if you get enough tattoos and mingle with the right crowd, you’ll probably get signed, so good luck to you, but that shit don’t make you nice. Peace. And still, please kill yourself. Thanks.

@Latarian Milton, speaking 3 languages screams “upper class” to you, but to me it screams “intelligence.” You’re absolutely right, some of you guys have it way rough, and I am not in any way relating to you when I say “beat the odds,” but hardships come to all people of all classes. You can sit back and laugh at this, or get angry and reply back talking trash “kill yourself this, kill yourself that”, or you can take it all into consideration. Awful accidents and tragedies happen to all people. God does not discriminate in punishment. I do urge you to keep a positive mindset no matter what, and appreciate life whatever way you can. Pain, just like pleasure, is a gift of life.
I thank you for your time, god bless. And thank you also for clicking my link, listening, and giving your opinion. I appreciate it as much as any.
