I still don't get the hype about Rich Forever. Had about 3 good songs on it to my last count. I think maybe because it LITERALLY was of the same quality of his commercial releases, people got stoked about GFID.

And, I guess, contrary to the consensus around here, I thought GFID was his best album, which isn't saying a lot for a Ross release.

Overall, he's lazy as hell with his lyrics but picks great beats and knows how to make a chorus. If his spit game was better and he didn't make all those missteps with his background story and trying to maintain said story, he probably could be top 20 of all time right now.

On a side note, on GFID, did anyone else notice that he mentioned being front row at the Heat game like 5 times throughout the album. I guess that's his filler line like when Snoop had the custom of just repeating DPG or DO double G in his lyrics just to lazily fill space.
