If <i>Black Market</i> represented a nostalgic Ricky Rozay, <i>Rather You Than Me</i> reverses course. A-list rappers are all over this, with Chris Rock even adding a touch of comic relief. Moments of vengeance are embellished by a clarity that comes from experience. Ross paints a vivid picture—the brown bags, ankle monitors, pulling the ragtop back at a red light. “Apple of My Eye” and “Game Ain’t Based on Sympathy” contemplate the trap life as smoke twirls in the air. <i>Rather You Than Me</i> is the Bawse’s Michael Corleone moment: “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in".
