He’s post-authenticity: Not only does no one believe a word he says, but his fans have come to explicitly embrace the very absurdity of his mythmaking. Ross’ record of unabashedly bending the truth – to put it nicely – absolutely plays to his advantage here. Name one other rapper who could have pulled this off without sounding like a complete and utter jackass.

Phil: Average? Rick Ross was given the unenviable task of essentially making a “Wild Wild West” redux, incorporating plot points from a movie that takes place a hundred and fifty years ago, and he crushes it. As it often goes with soundtrack songs, I might like this one better after I see/hear its placement in the movie. “100 Black Coffins” is less about Rick Ross, who insists on using the same formulas over and over, and more about who knew Jamie Foxx could produce a track like this?! The western inspired beat is amazing considering an actor turned R&B singer (or is the other way around?) made it. Whistles and moans roll in concert with Ross’ malevolent verses: It’s a nearly perfect soundtrack effort.īri: I’m glad the word “average” was mentioned first – I didn’t want to be the only one who isn’t all that impressed with this. This dude has done everything – stand up, sketch comedy, sitcoms, comedic acting, dramatic acting, R&B singing – and won at most of it. I’m less surprised by Ross’ ability to wax western and more impressed by Jamie Foxx’s production. Phelps: I’m assuming you reference “Peter Pan” because Ross’ oeuvre is pure fantasy, and I’ll agree totally and care less and less. It’s average, but greater on paper as a part of viewing his career in retrospective terms. It has the feeling of Jay-Z and Lenny Kravitz’s “Guns and Roses” collaboration from The Gift and The Curse. As far as it’s longevity? That’s questionable. This is more of the same, and it’s so absurd that it works. Marcus: Motherfucking Rick Ross is always on some Peter Pan gangsta shit. Phil: I firmly endorse the proposition of Rick Ross yelling over Spaghetti Western beats for an entire mixtape. The movie’s soundtrack, which notably does not feature Frank Ocean, was released this week. “Django Unchained” trailers did the impossible and started getting even more badass once this pummeling Rick Ross track – produced by Jamie Foxx! – surfaced. Jumping on the beat is our distinguished panel of Joshua Phelps, Marcus Dowling, Briana Younger, Steven “You Only Get Half a Bar” Place, and Phil R. This week, we discuss Rick Ross and Jamie Foxx’s collaboration for the “Django Unchained” soundtrack, Fool’s Gold Record’s “Piss Test” remix, and critical lightning rod Chief Keef. Each week, we offer a spirited debate, discussion, and dissection of recent hip-hop tracks, albums, and mixtapes. Finally Rich Want more?

There aren't any production credits with the listing, but one can assume that you'll hear a lot of the "Young-Chop-on-the-beat" baby on "Rich." With the release of this listing and the artwork, you might actually hear it on time too. More already-heard tracks: the Young Jeezy collab "Understand Me" oddly precedes a "3 Hunna" remix with Jeezy's nemesis, Rick Ross, and Wiz Khalifa and 50 Cent hop on "Hate Bein' Sober." Filling out the features is French Montana on "Diamonds." The album art is classic Keef, armed with a lighter and blowing loud. "Don't Like" hits in the three hole with the classic assist from Lil Reese. "Love Sosa," the single from Young Chop that's been burning up of late, leads off the album. The debut LP from Keef got a tracklisting Monday, and, not surprisingly, features some pretty big guest verses. 18 release date, which has pretty much become the standard for most rap albums anymore. That's assuming his "Finally Rich" album from Interscope doesn't get pushed back from its Dec. And he's also going to release a real album with music. 2012 has certainly been Chief Keef's year: the 17-year-old Chicago emcee was freed from prison, dropped "Don't Like," was remixed by Kanye, performed at Lolla, tweeted in bad taste over a rival rapper's death, Instagrammed oral sex, signed to a major label and is getting his own Beats by Keef headphones.
