Special mention goes to the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. The rest of the album survives thanks to its production, with everyone from Drumma Boy to Mannie Fresh offering exciting trunk rumblers. Even if initial single "Speedin'" didn't dominate the way he would have hoped, the follow-up anthem "The Boss" and the sleazy "Money Make Me Come" are killer, the latter being especially infectious and extra shameless. For Ross, the full-length is a place to hold the singles - big, slick, and grand singles that are hard, hypnotic, and just what's needed to get a gangsta party started. Add up his guest appearances and mixtapes and he's a walking bankroll, so it shouldn't be too surprising that his style and attitude toward the album format has changed little on his sophomore release, Trilla. For all the criticism thrown at Rick Ross' debut - redundant, nothing new, by the numbers gangsta music, and so on - the man himself had little reason to reconsider after the album climbed to the top of the charts.
