    The man has classics on classics, but also a few fumbles across the way. The former parole officer's label MMG was doing big things in early 2010's, but doesn't seem to be in the best of shape these days. Ross dissing Meek, Meek going at Wale, Wale being Wale, and Rockie Fresh and Gunplay not panning out are all examples of some things that have gone wrong. However lets shed some light on some great Ross tracks

    Remembered as a legend for sure and should be involved in goat discussions as a legitimate contender.

    How are you going to put a guy known for making the same album over and over in the GOAT discussion? There's like 50 years of rap he has to contend with.

    His earlier albums had great production imo. Then he got on the trap bandwagon a little more, but still.

    one of my favorite rap voices, over all different kinds instrumentals who has made consistently great songs and great features for years? sure his lyrics aren't over the top assonance or even the most complex of rhyme schemes but if you still think ross is a joke after all this time then I wanna know why

    I never even implied he was a joke. I'm just saying the GOAT discussion is increasingly competitive and I don't know how you fit him in there without forgetting 50 other dudes.

    Probably not. A lot of people write him off because he was a C.O., even tho most rappers bs their whole existence.
