Ace Hood - Hustle Hard (ft. Rick Ross and Lil' Wayne)

Ace Hood... generically named rapper, back after a radio absence.  What do you bring us? A lyric his own song sums it up pretty well. "Same old s***, just a different day"


A generic song about selling drugs.  Why does this mess still get airplay?  I can admit it's got a hot beat, but Ace Hood is uncharismatic and unoriginal.  "Closed mouths don't get fed on this boulevard"?  Boring MC's don't get a pass on this blog.  If momma needs a house and baby needs some shoes, why not think ahead and not get involved in the drug game?  Get an education, go get a normal job, learn programming and start a tech company... do anything other than get involved in illegal activity that is going to end up with baby and momma looking at a loved one in a prison cell or a casket.

Rick Ross brings yet another slow "I sold cocaine" verse.  Man, everyone knows this guy was a CO with no real connection to the drug trade, and still he skates by.  Why?  Rap fans have pretty low standards these days I guess.

Lil' Wayne can't even save the track.  His guest appearance super powers fall short of saving this track.  Wayne must have been feeling lazy, throwing in a "Free TI" shout out and reminding us that Tha Carter IV is coming out soon.  How are you gonna hijack a guest appearance to pimp your own album?
