Rick Ross rung in 2012 with a bang. With a release date for God Forgives, I Don’t still a mystery, Rozay unleashed a new collection of tunes, an album before the album. We knew this was serious from the start when Sean Combs talked his shit all over the glorious “Holy Ghost”. The Teflon Don showed his true aggressiveness on “High Definition”, “MMG Untouchable” and “Yellow Diamonds”. But a major part of Mr. Roberts’ success is his ability to bring the best out of his collaborators. Nas sounds re-energized on “Triple Beam Dreams”, Styles P glides on “Keys To The Crib” and we all know what Drake did on “Stay Schemin”. Sorry Lonnie. While most artists wait until the summer to bring the impact, the MMG general took the initiative to take over, early. It was a great time to boss up.

    “But a major part of Mr. Roberts’ success is his ability to bring the best out of his collaborators.”

    How can you big up Ross for consistently getting killed on his own shit?

  13. J says:

    This tape was hard as fuck. And I don’t even fuck with Ross like that.

  21. Balla says:

    Yall RR niggas give a whole new meaning to dickriding

  22. tucq says:

    Absolutely correct.

    “Keys To The Crib” is the hardest mixtape song I ever heard. Rich Forever is a classic mixtape. Period.

  23. HOVA says:

    As much as you may try, you can’y argue with this. There were way to many radio songs on this mixtape (Stay Schemin, F*ck ‘Em, Ring Ring, Triple Beam Dream, Rich Forvever, etc) for you to be putting Big Sean’s mixtape over this. Stop coming on here arguing pointless -ish. Rapradar not d*ck riding, it is what it is.

  24. myG says:

    … but yall forget that this was the album from the begining so he did record the whole teflon don again.. i think this was way better than teflon don aswell…

    BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS CHIEF KEEF MIXTAPE THAT SHIT WAS HARD BANGER AFTER BANGER

  26. jeezy says:

    RozayRadar…so predictable

  27. majormar says:

    How is the truth dickriding? Hottest mixtape hands down. Murdered jeezo on the song rich forever. Sean didn’t even have a single on Detroit. Soul tape2 was classic too.

  28. majormar says:

    Its his work ethic. Resemblance of hov. Where is a emiem nas kanye hov mixtapes @. Shout out to gunplay torch and the whole mmg for the consistent music and quality.

  29. That Guy says:

    Hahaha this rated higher than K.R.I.T’s 4EVA N A DAY mixtape, which he produced entirely himself and then killed. Humorous, just humorous.

  30. mac DIESEL says:
