I agree with Feefo. I was reluctantly listening to this almost a year after it came out, and when I got to Hold Me Back I turned it off. Great first few tracks, then garbage.
neyo can't sing? wtf? one of probably the most unique voices in all of singing history . this man sang a duet with celine dion he can't sing bruh never speak on r&b again please
Oh, and check out the song, "Edie Brickell," by Atmosphere. It's one of their hidden gems, and one of my top 5 Atmosphere songs, even if "God's Bathroom Floor," is still my favorite.
This being the first Rick Ross album i've heard front to back, I thought that this had to of been his best work ever. He gave you Production, he gave you Features, he gave you Variety, he gave you some lyrics as well, not that they were super great but they did make me reconsider my views on Rick Ross cuz until this album, I thought Rick Ross was just the leader of this great group, for nothing. But apparently he deserves to be where he's at.
This entire review was spot on. I 100% agree with Feefo and how the tracks should've been placed. Hold Me Back and 911 were misplaced and should've been on the Rich Forever mixtape.
I feel ya, yea, at 1st I did not like Hold me Back, but listening to it more it became tight and its a motivational song also, but i have to say, i think this is Rozays best album so far, maybe i gotta listen to Teflon again, but i think this is his Best Album, i cant believe u dont like 911 and Touch N U, 911 go hard and Touch N U Smooth, and u might be right about ross verses tho, i feel ya on that, Presidential Bumps in the whip also, Pharrel did that Beat.
I understood the sound Ross was going for. He was trying to bring that "chilling by the beach, mafioso Miami vibe"...but the lyrics were not up to par with the production, the production out shined the lyrics.
It'd be awesome if you guys tried (loosely) going track by track with a review. I know whenever I watch a review of an album, as stupid as it sounds, it feels good to have confirmation on some of my favorite tracks. It'll also add alot more depth to the discussion, though i realize it'll take longer.
Great review, I listened to the album and I feel that Ross could've made the album shorter. There were certain tracks that didn't need to be on the album like 911 only because it sound like hold me back, Ice cold and Touch n you with usher. The rest of songs were solid to me like 3 kings, ashamed, and sixteen plus the production on the album is really good. I give this album a 7.5/10. If you're a fan of Ross music or need an album for the car I'd suggest you pick up this album.
Yes, I know that he sounds like the person on the track because the person probably wrote his track. The point is he can still change up his flow and cadence so he doesn't sound exactly like that person.
I don't listen to music from a lyrical standpoint. While I Love lyrics I do understand that music, like movies, have an entertainment value to them as well. Just depends on what you can stomach.
with lupe fiasco dropping around my way, bitch bad, and now lamborghini angel)(extremely controversial), i would love to see a follow up discussion on lupes direction because i know you guys have had some harsh things to say about his new direction. are you guys anticipating F&L2? and do you think his recent single is genuine or is it just to spark buzz and to regain trust with his old fans? a response would be dope guys keep it up.
Wow, I'm surprise that "Mr. Bumps it in the whip" doesn't like Hold Me Back,911, And Touch N U, cause those songs definitely Bumps in the whip, the beats for those songs are tight as Hell.
I also feel the track's order should be more of a mix. I hate how current albums always give you that divided shit like smooth,boom and then the R&B shit. I feel even if he didn't add some songs from the mixtapes to here the album would have at least ran together better in my opinion if he would mix the order of the tracks more giving it a more "diverse" feel and not a order feel
This episode further shows why I dig the show...it's more like a conversation than a critic style review...but yeah the first 8 tracks are my favorites...hold me back had to grow on me and I mean grow...wasn't like B.M.F where I liked it instantly and then the Usher joint is terrible I have yet to fully listen to that song...maybe if I'm drunk and in the club I'll hear it or if I'm with a lady and she in that mood...all in all pretty solid project
Took the words right out of my mouth! I used to fuck with Ross heavy with those albums then he became something else when MMG was formed. He lost a fan out of me though. God Forgives was the last album I listened to from him and I didn't even buy it, my cousin gave it to me cuz he was right about the album being sub par and I never believed him until I listened to it. Rick Ross is no longer someone I'll be checking for.
Personally, tracks 8 (Hold Me Back), 9 (911) and 10 (So Sophisticated; belonged on Dreamchasers 2 for real) needed to be 86'd off of the album. Even though the second portion of the album was majority R&B, it was consistent. I can't say the same about the first half. He could have taken tracks 11-17, thrown in "Sixteen" and "Amsterdam" and this would have been SOLID. Anyone else feel the same way? Also, nobody mentioned "Triple Beam Dreams" feat. Nas. I felt that track was a standout.
this album was okay. didnt like it as much as deeper than rap or teflon don. definately couldve been cut down several songs. hold me back was cool til the last verse where it sounds like he just ran outta shit to say. kinda fucked the song up imo
Lol! Appreciate the love man. Yeah it was never intended for me to be behind the camera this long. These debates use to happen long before we started recording them, but we're getting there man. Once we get to a place with DEHH where we can afford someone to take over some of my duties, I'll make a lot more appearances. Until then, I'll just have to make my lil comments here and there from behind the camera, lol.
I don't I try to listen to everything just for lyrics because not all music is created for the purpose of lyricism however Ross takes himself seriously as a rapper therefore I judge him against the people he judges himself against
@deadendhiphop. For the ones of you who liked any of these tracks, you love rap music on a level that I don't understand. This album is Basketball Wives on "wax" -- Rick Ross has given us another reason to feel ashamed.
yes please do a review on 2 chainz. lol just for our enjoyment. And btw did you see T.I. In 2 chainz music video "I Luv Dem Strippers"? Lmao. He looks mad as hell at what Atlanta hip-hop has come to.
Hold Me Back is the best track on the album haha at least to me it is. That's a track for ignant levels of volume but overall I dug the album. Im not a big Ross fan but this wasn't that bad just a few songs I can walk away with
Gfid was dope. It's for entertainment. The real hip hop is so fuckng boring and they have the best lyrics but you can't listen to that without skipping for hotter beats. This review is their opinion but I loved the album.
Lol GFID was Garbage Juice. Aside from the tracks that come before "Hold Me Back". But "Diced Pineapples" Ten Jesus Pieces" "Rich Forever" and "Triple Bean Dreams" were dope too. Overall woulda made a great EP or 10-11 track Album.
How are you gonna say that "real hip-hop" is boring when Rick Ross is one of the most boring rappers in the mainstream right now. He has the same flow on almost every song, his lyrics are vapid and uninteresting, and once you've heard one verse from him, you've pretty much heard them all. I do agree that production is important, but lyrics are also very important.
Tyler Hartsell He has the same flow in almost every song, he has nothing to say, and once you've heard one song of his you've pretty much heard them all.
Feefo & Kinge keep it real. The other niggas don't even try to like some shit Just like when he liked the Aesop Rock album but we all know that shit don't bump in da whip. He still gave an unbiased nonjudgmental listen to it.
Man these old DEHH videos are so funny to go back and watch
Pretty nostalgic… they’re more entertaining than the new format
@@DankyDre420ya the guys softened and lost their charm
9:58 Myke C-Town, ladies and gentlemen.
Yo that dude on the webcam went off lmaooooo
The guest was hilarious. "Drake with a vagina."
I thought he already had one...
The best thing about this album is Andre 3000
No. It’s the “honhh” during that song (the one that was backed by the saxophone).
I like how myke pointed out Dre sounding like whoever rights for him, look at 3 kings and on the recipe he sounds like Kendrick
This guest needs a good mic and an own channel Shiiiittt he was hilarious ahahhahahaja
I agree with Feefo. I was reluctantly listening to this almost a year after it came out, and when I got to Hold Me Back I turned it off. Great first few tracks, then garbage.
This is by far one of Mykes best reviews this year, shit had me rolling.
Femdog had me crying lmao
Hey deadendhiphop .... when will you guys feature F3MDOG again ? .... he's really hilarious
Finally someone speaks on Wale's change... from what he was to what he's become on MMG.
Femi complements the cast so well. He's like C Town. Not scared to say anything man, for real.
Hilarious review, porno beat, and the "I took a shit..." sentence KILLED me!
Thank you guys for doing what yall do.
9:58 someone please remix this
one of the best reviews you guys have done
neyo can't sing? wtf? one of probably the most unique voices in all of singing history . this man sang a duet with celine dion he can't sing bruh never speak on r&b again please
Ne-yo's okay. He doesn't have range but his voice sounds nice. He's definitely a better writer.
9:58 I'm sampling that right now
Maybe one day. Just keep supporting and pushing us to the top man and a lot of things can happen!
Oh, and check out the song, "Edie Brickell," by Atmosphere. It's one of their hidden gems, and one of my top 5 Atmosphere songs, even if "God's Bathroom Floor," is still my favorite.
I feel you, just my personal opinion not shitting on no one else because there are so many dope artist out.
This being the first Rick Ross album i've heard front to back, I thought that this had to of been his best work ever. He gave you Production, he gave you Features, he gave you Variety, he gave you some lyrics as well, not that they were super great but they did make me reconsider my views on Rick Ross cuz until this album, I thought Rick Ross was just the leader of this great group, for nothing. But apparently he deserves to be where he's at.
U guys should review angel haze reservations
"I was like porn!!!" LOL
This joint has at least 6 good tracks, 3 Kings & Sixteen especially.
This entire review was spot on. I 100% agree with Feefo and how the tracks should've been placed. Hold Me Back and 911 were misplaced and should've been on the Rich Forever mixtape.
All these albums sound the same to me. Why give a different answer if the album sounds the same? I can reword it...I'll work on that for next time. :)
What'd he say about Liquid swords? Do you like Gambino or not? I never gave him a proper listen. I heard one song then gave up.
Hold Me Back was my favorite on the album. Shit goes hard as fuck..
Wait...when did I say I didn't know that???
I cant wait for yall to review F&L2, & Cruel Summer
I feel ya, yea, at 1st I did not like Hold me Back, but listening to it more it became tight and its a motivational song also, but i have to say, i think this is Rozays best album so far, maybe i gotta listen to Teflon again, but i think this is his Best Album, i cant believe u dont like 911 and Touch N U, 911 go hard and Touch N U Smooth, and u might be right about ross verses tho, i feel ya on that, Presidential Bumps in the whip also, Pharrel did that Beat.

what's with that picture of chicago behind myke?
I'm not a 2 Chainz fan, but could you guys review "Based on a t.r.u story"?
It'd be awesome if you guys tried (loosely) going track by track with a review. I know whenever I watch a review of an album, as stupid as it sounds, it feels good to have confirmation on some of my favorite tracks. It'll also add alot more depth to the discussion, though i realize it'll take longer.
Myke, why are you always on point?
Great review, I listened to the album and I feel that Ross could've made the album shorter. There were certain tracks that didn't need to be on the album like 911 only because it sound like hold me back, Ice cold and Touch n you with usher.

I don't listen to music from a lyrical standpoint. While I Love lyrics I do understand that music, like movies, have an entertainment value to them as well. Just depends on what you can stomach.
i feel like hold me back to hip hop is what raining blood is to metal.
its one of those songs you just gotta listen to to get hyped.
with lupe fiasco dropping around my way, bitch bad, and now lamborghini angel)(extremely controversial), i would love to see a follow up discussion on lupes direction because i know you guys have had some harsh things to say about his new direction. are you guys anticipating F&L2? and do you think his recent single is genuine or is it just to spark buzz and to regain trust with his old fans? a response would be dope guys keep it up.
Ne-yo can't sing?
Why is there a little Mexican kid in the background at 11:49???
Wow, I'm surprise that "Mr. Bumps it in the whip" doesn't like Hold Me Back,911, And Touch N U, cause those songs definitely Bumps in the whip, the beats for those songs are tight as Hell.

i love dehh cause everyone of my friends like this shit and im like is there something im missing.. but theres people like y'all that agreee
Can you guys do a review on chevy woods - gangland mixtape?
who of the guys have been to Ikea? there is a big ass painting in the background.
C-Town never disappoints. Unless it's about Liquid Swords or Childish Gambino.
Feefo loved this album...He frontin'....When does he EVER remember track names like that? LOL
This episode further shows why I dig the show...it's more like a conversation than a critic style review...but yeah the first 8 tracks are my favorites...hold me back had to grow on me and I mean grow...wasn't like B.M.F where I liked it instantly and then the Usher joint is terrible I have yet to fully listen to that song...maybe if I'm drunk and in the club I'll hear it or if I'm with a lady and she in that mood...all in all pretty solid project

I said I don't like the verses on Hold Me Back, I like the hook and obviously the beat but that about it
Feefo has been steppin out his game, dope Feefo!
this album was okay. didnt like it as much as deeper than rap or teflon don. definately couldve been cut down several songs. hold me back was cool til the last verse where it sounds like he just ran outta shit to say. kinda fucked the song up imo
I like that C-Town pointed out that Dr. Dre ghostwriting shit. It's about time someone did...
femdog needs more shine, fucking love that guy's reviews.
Lol! Appreciate the love man. Yeah it was never intended for me to be behind the camera this long. These debates use to happen long before we started recording them, but we're getting there man.

Years later dice pineapples is a classic
Haha that boy Femi! Went to school with the dude, Femi is as real and funny as they come.
No Mention On The Track MAYBACH MUSIC 4
Oh you just like the beat.
I don't I try to listen to everything just for lyrics because not all music is created for the purpose of lyricism however Ross takes himself seriously as a rapper therefore I judge him against the people he judges himself against
blu and exile - give my flowers while i can smell them review
@deadendhiphop. For the ones of you who liked any of these tracks, you love rap music on a level that I don't understand. This album is Basketball Wives on "wax" -- Rick Ross has given us another reason to feel ashamed.
Triple Beam Dreams....Nuff Said.
yes please do a review on 2 chainz. lol just for our enjoyment. And btw did you see T.I. In 2 chainz music video "I Luv Dem Strippers"? Lmao. He looks mad as hell at what Atlanta hip-hop has come to.
Why wouldn't we?
OOOooOOooooOOO the review is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 Stacks was the highlight of the album
Hold Me Back is the best track on the album haha at least to me it is. That's a track for ignant levels of volume but overall I dug the album. Im not a big Ross fan but this wasn't that bad just a few songs I can walk away with
How fucking old is that mixtape?!?
thanks fam! with the continued support, it'll eventually happen.
If Rick Ross freestyled about cupcakes, I would laugh my ass off
I feel you Femi. About time someone gave a real review on this wack GFID album. Ross hella phony
what they said about dre rapping i been aying forever. he takes there flow too when he gets the lyrics hahaha
why dont Feefo just do that on his iTunes and make a playlist so he can put it on his iPod and let it bump in the whip
I do too.
Gfid was dope. It's for entertainment. The real hip hop is so fuckng boring and they have the best lyrics but you can't listen to that without skipping for hotter beats. This review is their opinion but I loved the album.
Lol GFID was Garbage Juice. Aside from the tracks that come before "Hold Me Back". But "Diced Pineapples" Ten Jesus Pieces" "Rich Forever" and "Triple Bean Dreams" were dope too. Overall woulda made a great EP or 10-11 track Album.
How are you gonna say that "real hip-hop" is boring when Rick Ross is one of the most boring rappers in the mainstream right now. He has the same flow on almost every song, his lyrics are vapid and uninteresting, and once you've heard one verse from him, you've pretty much heard them all. I do agree that production is important, but lyrics are also very important.
mistahmst HOW IS HE BORING??!!!!
Tyler Hartsell He has the same flow in almost every song, he has nothing to say, and once you've heard one song of his you've pretty much heard them all.
The end of this review funny as hell,i don't fuck with officer William but i might start doin that dance.
Please review Ka- Iron Works
Might as well..It'll attract a more diversified audience.
It came out December of last year
We'll work on it!
but yeah the R&B tracks were ehhhh but I knew those tracks purposes...but this album's production was pretty nice except for like a few
MyckeCtown- Said exacly what I think about Rick Ross. Because I think he's basicly don't talk about anything besides fantasy land he never leaved
...how do you change flows its how you ride the beat...do you mean delivery because his flow is dope he can ride a beat dope
PLEASE REVIEW HiTstory By Hit-Boy
I love that Feefo is kicking off the video, its not even Kinge kicking it to him lol
mykes got a hit on his hands with that touch'n you. remix
Feefo & Kinge keep it real. The other niggas don't even try to like some shit Just like when he liked the Aesop Rock album but we all know that shit don't bump in da whip. He still gave an unbiased nonjudgmental listen to it.
best album review for a month at least. Liking Femi too, he's got a good brain in his rather large nogging.
I gotta say back on that what makes a good rapper you talk about a good rhyme scheme, but I still don't know what that means.
Myke killed me in this episode. The dude was fucking hilarious. "I imagine a hairy vagina, with a guy with a mustache." HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHH!
Mike should have a spin off show where talks about Metal with a different group of dudes ( 2 niggaz, and 2 white boys), that would be cool as fuck.
