I remember when he first came out in '06, one of my best friends Kenny B. came down from Alaska. While he was here I bought his debut Port of Miami album much to Kenny's dismay.I had the ever so redundant excuse for buying it like many others with the whole "I like the the beats and hooks and singles"...sad I know. Those who don't like him are impersonally justified by the whole "used to be a C.O. now a phony gangsta rapper" thing but who isn't fake in the music industry?? As a consumer, any aired out dirty laundry hasn't stopped us from supporting acts like MJ or Gun & Roses, so why here with this guy? And Production-wise Ricky's new album is sonically pleasing, like all his albums he has a nitch for great beat selection (maybe I should commend his A & R team...NAS COME ON) and he also stepped his lyrical game up. So as sad as it is to admit it, Sgt. Rick Ross Winslow is my guilty pleasure. Please forgive me Hip Hop.
