Pro Reviews: Port Of Miami
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Nicknamed after a notorious drug dealer, William "Rick Ross" Roberts claims to have dealt drugs himself, prior to becoming an MC and gaining the interest of Def Jam president JayZ. Rather than merely lure Ross away from his initial label (SlipNSlide) with a lucrative contract, JayZ linked up with the entire label and netted a distribution deal. "Hustlin'," a leviathan, trunkrattling single released a few months prior to Port of Miami Rick Ross' official debut album, following a series of mixtapes informed everyone within earshot about Ross' modus operandi. He's Miami's answer to Atlanta's Young Jeezy, Def Jam's breakout artist of 2005. He has a slow, husky drawl, almost always sounding like he should either clear his throat or drink some water, and raps almost exclusively about peddling coke and the lifestyle that comes with the trade. He's relatively less agile than Jeezy and doesn't sound nearly as experienced as a rhymer, but his imposing presence and uniquely enunciated pronouncements are alluring, even when his lyrics are random and amount to little more than spacefilling, lumpishly projected nonsense like, say, "Ever seen a fat boy in a big body?/Know you wanna sit bah me, all you do is think bot it/Lease apartments to get kicked ot it/Next day buy a condo to get a kick ot it." On occasion, he shows promise as a lyricist with flashes of Jeezy or even T.I. when it comes to relating the ups and downs of the life. His pen redeems "Cross That Line," which features another autopiloted Akon appearance, just like Young Jeezy's similarly anthemic "Soul Survivor": "Lil' brother knowing life illegal/No toys, just playin' with pipes and needles." JayZ enlists a handful of Alist producers, including Jazze Pha, DJ Toomp, and Cool Dre, as well as the Runners, who handle nearly a third of the tracks, "Hustlin'" included. - Andy Kellman, All Music Guide |

Pros: Good lyrics, string beats
Cons: To real, if you aint real you aint gonna feel it
Port if Miami is one those cd's that you'll look back and say "That was a hot one!" Good lyrics and not to many people on the album so you get to really get a feel of Rick Ross style.
