50 Cent, who was notorious for his role in the world of drugs, disputes Rick Ross’ persona, claiming that he had never played a serious role as a drug dealer. It appears that the persona that Ross has built in recent years has revolved around a drug king pin who has a sense of ghetto royalty about him. His consistent references to his past and being associated with drugs are a key flaw in the album that really bothers me. Upon first glimpse of Mastermind, I was hopeful that Rick Ross would at least make some form of effort to progress from his ‘Boss’ raps to something more relevant. The album sold surprisingly well despite date changes with a total figure of 328,000 copies being sold in the US as it debuted at number one on the US chart. Although the album was repeatedly pushed back from its original date of December 17th, Mastermind was finally released on March 4 th. The enigma that is Rick Ross continued with the release of Mastermind, which has seen the Florida based rapper notch his fifth number one album on the Billboard 200.
