heftig heftig

das kam doch erst raus oder? props!

yo, kam grad raus- platz eins...lude c ist 81. ok, is kein maßstab aber dafür das es kommerziell erfolgreich ist muss ich sagen isses ganz schön geil. gut das meine schon shipped is!

aber das die geiler sein soll als die pimp, macht mich schon stutzig irgendwie weil die is der wahnsinn!

naja, der wahnsinn isse nicht...cool isse. ich finde die rick ross auf alle fälle im gesamt bild geiler falls man überhaupt htown sound mit miami sound vergleichen kann... aber mir geht die rauwws geiler rein als die lude c.

bin ich mal gespannt, mal sehen ob sich ne gelegenheit ergibt mal reinzuhören

ich tipp mal ja...

@puddah, ich hab mal bisschen geforscht. die story von dir stimmt, rick rauwws ist total der og- und die single "push it" ist quasi so eine verhöhnung an die police "push it to the limit" und so... lol, was ein spieler ist das denn?

na dann mal sehen ob er mich auch so überzeugen kann wie dich

hundert pro, hört sich schon nach dem sound aus der ecke da unten an- aber da du ja cool findest merk ich grad wirste rick rauwws lieben.

mal sehen, gespannt bin ich alle mal, ne cd mit vollbart fehlt eh noch in meiner sammlung

RICK ROSS’ PORT OF MIAMI DEBUTS AT #1 !
August 16, 2006

SLIP N’ SLIDE/DEF JAM ALBUM ENTERS ON TOP WITH 187,000 SALES

Album success pushed on street by “Hustlin’” – first pre-album platinum mastertone

Underscoring his dominance of the Rap and hip-hop sales charts this summer, Slip N’ Slide/Def Jam recording artist Rick Ross (a “hip-hop heavyweight,” declares the New York Times) enters the Billboard 200 albums chart at #1 with his first studio album PORT OF MIAMI, on impressive first week sales of 187,000 units.

“Minimal, menacing rhymes…with synth-soaked ring-tone-ready beats that are hotter than the ‘MI-Yayo’ in the summertime,” raved Rolling Stone of PORT OF MIAMI, which is propelled by Rick Ross’ street anthem “Hustlin’,” this year’s most talked-about and sought-after hip-hop track. In an unprecedented achievement, Def Jam announced last month that “Hustlin’” had become the first mastertone to ever sell one million units before the associated album was released.

“Every day, I’m hustlin’,” drawls Rick Ross in the autobiographic – in fact, blazingly graphic – single that bulleted inside the Top 20 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Sales chart, and peaked at #13 on both the Hip-Hop/Rap Airplay and R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts during its six-month run. On deck as the second single from PORT OF MIAMI is “Push It,” whose 1990 movie soundtrack excerpts from Giorgio Moroder’s “Scarface (Push It To The Limit)” evoke the gritty soul of Miami, a city that is always on the edge of exploding.

Rick “taps into the pulse of the streets with his hardcore tales of a drug dealer’s life on the grind,” said USA Today in its 3 star-review of PORT OF MIAMI. “With the help of muscular production…Ross colorfully chronicles his lifestyle with swaggering menace.” New York’s Village Voice greeted the album as “Summer-Movie Escapism… the beats on this album really are magnificent. Cool & Dre, the Runners, DJ Toomp, and even Jazze Pha have come up with some seriously epic burners, all swooping synths and enormous drums.”

The review points the way to the small army of A-list collaborators and producers that Rick recruited for his first major label album. In addition to Jay-Z and Young Jeezy on “Hustlin’ Remix,” highlights of the album include “Blow” and “Boss” both featuring Dre (and both produced by Cool & Dre); “Cross That Line” featuring Akon (who co-wrote and produced the track); “For Da Low” produced and co-written by Jazze Pha; “Get Away” featuring Mario Winans (who co-wrote and produced the track); “Hit U From The Back” featuring Rodney (produced by the Runners); “Pots and Pans” featuring J Rock aka Jean “J Rock” Borges (who co-wrote and produced the track); “It’s My Time” featuring Lyfe Jennings (produced by the Runners, who also produced “Where My Money”); “Street Life” featuring Lloyd (produced by Big Reese, with more Scarface interpolations of “Tony’s Theme”); “It Ain’t A Problem” featuring Carol City Cartel (produced by J. Venom); and “I’m A G” featuring Lil Wayne and Brisco (pro duced by Miami’s DJ Khaled Beat Novacane).

From ruling the underground rap scene in Miami, to generating an all-out bidding war between the most powerful labels in the game, to becoming the most buzz-worthy new rapper of 2006 – six-foot-two, 300-pound Rick Ross has finally come into the spotlight on Trick Daddy’s Miami-based Slip N’ Slide records, where Ross was signed five years ago. “The number one ghostwriter in the South,” as he has described his work behind the scenes, now comes into his own with the success of PORT OF MIAMI.

“I’m bridging the gap between the South and the East Coast,” he told Rolling Stone. “The sound is real Dirty South. But I’m spittin’ hard, to where the East Coast appreciates it. PORT OF MIAMI,” he summed up, “It’s gonna be a classic.”

datz riggt, die cd ist superfettgeil!

With the help of muscular production…Ross colorfully chronicles his lifestyle with swaggering menace.” – USA Today (* * * out of four)

“He’s a presumptive hip-hop heavyweight… Rick Ross broke through with “Hustlin,’ ” a thunderous ode to the Miami cocaine trade; it has been rattling out of cars all year. He’s got a great look (big, bald, bearded)… It’s easy to figure out why Rick Ross has inspired so much excitement.” – New York Times

“A blustery hip-hop anti-hero, barrel-size Miami rapper Ross uses his molasses-thick voice to tackle a single subject: cocaine…Ross’ pulpy debut manages to enthrall…” – Entertainment Weekly

“With his sinister, organ-propelled ode to drug dealing, "Hustlin'," cemented as one of the biggest rap songs of 2006, this Miami rhymer has all eyes on him with the release of his major-label debut album.” – Los Angeles Times

“Ross' debut CD, "Port of Miami" is one of hip-hop's most buzzed-about releases” – New York Daily News

“Rick Ross' debut album, ‘Port of Miami’ (Def Jam), is a summer blockbuster - complete with gunfights, car chases, drug dealing, Mile High Club sex, a rags-to-riches anti-hero, a grand hip-hop soundtrack and its own catch phrase: ‘Roussssss’… Rick Ross is set to be the year's breakout star and ‘Port of Miami’ will stand as one of the best hip-hop albums of the year.” - Newsday (A-)

“Rap as Summer-Movie Escapism…One thing about escapist entertainment is that it has to be just dazzlingly sleek, and the beats on this album really are magnificent.

“Weighing 300 pounds and standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, Rick Ross should be making quite the impact with his Port of Miami debut this week. The underground hero's paean to his hometown has already grabbed ears with its leadoff single, "Hustlin', " and his guest roster will have other hip-hop fans feeling the Miami heat” - MTV

"Push it to the Limit" spiegelt quasi den Film Scarface wieder, ist ja auch das bekannte Sample aus dem Film, das dort verwendet wird.

Ansonsten ist sein Name soweit ich weiß angelehnt an "Freeway Rick" Ross, einem bekannten Crackdealer in den USA.

Das was ich vom Album bisher kenne gefällt mir richtig gut, aber richtig geil finde ich diesen "Chevy Ridin" Track mit Dre.
