Album is the usual for Ross. Dude sticks to his formula faithfully. That's both good and bad.
All his albums seem to be a continuance of the last. -

Rich Is Gangsta is such a powerful intro. It's sets the album off perfectly. Black Metaphor lost his mind with that beat.

France cosigns MASTERMIND by ROZAY.
Good album.

Damn Mafia Music III ws meant for Detox:
Bink! Says “Mafia Music III” Was Meant For "Detox"
Bink!, who also references DJ Khaled in his breakdown, described to XXL how his “Mafia Music III” beat went from a tentative Detox placement to its final form on Mastermind. “Well it's crazy,” Bink!, said, “it started over a year ago; I did the record for Dr. Dre, for Detox. Dr. Dre hired Ross to write his verse for him. So Ross wrote a verse for him and a verse for himself, and then he was supposed to put Rihanna on the hook. But, you know, Dre never revisited the record, and then Ross came back about a month and a half ago and wanted the record for himself. So I had to ask the Good Doctor for clearance. I actually made it WITH Dre; I was in Vegas with Dre working on it at the time. They brought Ross in later.
“Actually, Khaled called me. He was just ranting and raving about Ross' verse—his exact words were, 'Ross caught the Holy Spirit.' He kept saying that Ross had caught the Holy Ghost, 'We gotta have that, we gotta have that.' So I was like, you know, I gotta call up Big Homie and see if he'll let it go, 'cause I knew he was back in Detox mode again. I didn't know if he was gonna hold onto it or not this time around.”
Bink! also reported that he hasn’t heard the latest version of the song. “Dre was basically like, 'Ask him to send you a copy of the record, and if you like it, I'm with you. I'ma let you make the call.' Which is flattering to me, but at the same time that's what Big Homie told me. So I called them, they sent me the record, which they was very nervous about, because of course these days for some reason, when you send a rapper the music, they feel like their lyrics is worth more than the beat, and they don't send the song back.
“I still have yet to hear it," Bink! said. "'Cause when I heard it, it was just Ross and Mavado, but now they added Sizzla to it, so I still haven't heard Sizzla's verse. There's a serious disconnect, to be honest with you, with the music. It's not like it used to be.”

Im biased bc i like that soulful ross
He went more 'trap' on this. Never had to skip this much on a ross album.
But still got gems.
Mafia music 3 is genius to go the reggae route. Devil is a lie, that ? w/ keith sweat (yes!), rich is gangsta, sanctified doesnt have the usual soul sample scrunch fave kanye feel but still cool.
What did yall disagree w/ on this? Not feelings lol Just curious how everybody looks at the album -
That Blessing in Disguise...whooo. Nggas wonder why cats ? w/ Ross...for me its b/c he's the continuation of that Roc era sound. He's the only ngga spittin over beats like that consistently.
I can just hear Beans spitin over that w/ Face. -

Rozay projected to enter at #1next week and to do 140-160k . Suprised pharrell isnt going to top that. Good to see hiphop wit back to back #1s

-
Schoolboy sold close to 140, ross is probably gonna be in that 150range. Both r a success imo either way dude is on his 6th lp who woulda thought^^^Damn Schoolboy Q outselln Ross??
-
That's a good look
-
thats a great look since he doesnt have a successful single and people thought he fell off
-
Hiphop is changing, u dont really need a billboard charting single to sell. U just gotta build that core fanbase to cop your ? regardless of accolades.
-
What I loved about this album was you got every era of Ross's career on here. Some songs gave you thart original Port Of Miami feel, some Trilla era, some Deeper than Rap era, some Self Made Vol 1, some mixtape Ross, just a balance of old and current Ross in a sequenced compilation..
If you were never a fan of Ross I dont even get what made you want to listen to this in the first place knowing full well what was coming. -
Wish "What a shame" was a longer song that's my ? right there.

Hip hop has been like that. Kudos to Ross for putting concentration on putting out a great ALBUM instead of a few hit singles and a bunch of filler.
