    This is one of the worst Rap albums I have ever heard. Take a close listen, and you will agree. The production is lazy. The rap is boring (flow and lyrics). I thought we were entering another Golden Age of rap, I was wrong.

    It's only unfortunate that such a master of making Rick Ross albums must live in a world where there are already five other Rick Ross albums. [May 2014, p.74]

    For a man who continues to spell his surname with two dollar signs, his act is lacking in real drama. [May 2014, p.121]

    The pieces tie together, and at the end of the day, there’s no denying that Mastermind is a fun album.
