Same people calling this a classic are the same ones who said GKMC was a classic the night it leaked.

Deleted only 5 songs of this album...
Nobody (French was TERRIBLE on that hook & using THAT beat just felt wrong to me)
In Vein (not trying to hear The Weeknd for half the song)
War Ready (idk I just aint mess with this song)
Paradise Lost
Reprise (basically the same song just without Jay n all Ross)
The rest of this album was TOUGH tho. If he took out them songs & put Oyster Perpetual, this would been his best album yet

when bro? This man never rapped aboutBeing FROM magnolia. I've been listening to Wayne since lights out. He talks about Hollygrove ALL the time. And on Miss My Dawgz was like "I ain't even from the 3, my hood was angry at me"

"Mastermind" is a solid album no doubt about it - not "classic" though...
..."GKMC" was one of the best hip hop debuts of all time, so yeah.

didn't really give this album much credit at first because of all the other projects that came out at the same time, but after giving this a couple more in depth listens, this project SLAPS 
-getting things started with rich is gangsta :x
-drug dealers dream knocks... it would've been perfect for a gunplay feature though
-took me awhile to get into nobody for obvious reasons, but i mess with it. diddy's speech got me feeling like i can take on the world
-the horns on devil is a lie still go... hov skated too
-mafia music 3 is that fire
-BLK & WHT hook so damb catchy
-Sanctified
the sample is so pristine
-in vein abel just can't miss
-all the smooth tracks on here are a great touch. supreme, thug cry, blessing in disguise, & paradise lost... this is when ross is at his best, imo.
overall, another good project by ricky... he's so consistent with his solo discography

I HAD TO STOP INTERVIEWING RICK ROSS BECAUSE HE CAN'T HANDLE HARD QUESTIONS
LONGREADS OR WHATEVER

Ross and the author, in (slightly) happier times

Part of me wants to feel like I'm reaching with that headline, but most of me knows that I'm not. The fact of the situation is that, during an interview with Rick Ross yesterday at the 40/40 Club in Manhattan, I brought up Reebok, which obviously triggered memories of the rapey lyric that cost him an endorsement deal with them. Perhaps for obvious reasons, things got awkward, Ross’ handlers got antsy, Ross low key tried to insult me, and the interview was stopped halfway through. The thing is, Rick Ross constantly talks about being a boss. To him, it’s not just a title, but an entire worldview. Real bosses answer the hard questions and keep it moving.
Then again, what do you expect from a guy who let the media hound him over a lyric—”Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it”—that he could’ve easily talked his way out of? Unlike the Date Rape Drug, Rohypnol (or alcohol, the most common date rape drug of them all), MDMA isn’t a sedative, and even if you slip it to someone, it’s not going to make them pass out. It’s a stimulant and, if anything, it’ll make a person more alert. Clearly, Ross doesn’t always know what he’s talking about in his own lyrics, and he and I never even addressed that line directly.
[Ed: To be fair, Ross did address the controversy in an interview with HuffPost Live, saying, "I don't really regret nothing. I'm glad I seen and learned some things. When I realized so many women were affected by that, I wanted to make sure I apologized. Where I come from, that's not even tolerated... I never thought someone would fill in whatever blanks, but I respected it, and I respected everyone's opinion who reached out, most definitely women... Ain't nothin' more impressive than women, baby.]
We got close, though. I was working my way towards a question about the infamous lyric. He and his team were tactful enough to pick up on that, and that’s why my interview got shut down. I asked Ross about his chemistry with Jay Z. We talked about how “****WithMeYouKnowIGotIt” was another hit for him. Then I brought up how he rapped “Reeboks on, I just do it, *****” on that song in the midst of his controversy with the company. That’s when things got tense. Here’s how the conversation played out:
Noisey: I feel like you kind of purposely were ******* with people when it’s like, “Reeboks on, I just do it *****.” Knowing the whole controversy, what were you really getting at with that line? Because that’s the **** that really stands out to me. After everybody’s making this big fuss and then on one of the hottest club records of the summer, you’re kind of taunting people on purpose with that ****.
Rick Ross: See, you the type of ***** that might consider it taunting. I don’t even like that word. Don’t use that word no more.
What would you call it? It’s not a negative word to me. You know, it’s like—
Stay focused, homie. Let me answer your question. “Reeboks on, I just do it *****.” Repping Reebok. You like Reebok?
I don’t really wear them as much anymore. Like, I’ve been a Nike *****. I wear Vans and **** like that.
Oh yeah, you a Vans *****.
Yeah, I got on Docs. Like, I know ******—like you got on Timbs, I got on Docs. That’s just what **** is.
That’s your vibe. I wish you the best. Keep shining. Keep doing your thing. Keep shining, man. I was repping Reebok. I like Reebok. We wear Reebok on our side. We wear soldiers. All white. We pull out them Rees and we wear ‘em all white.
Nah, a ***** had Rees in like middle school, when the Pumps came out, I know what it’s about.
Yeah, classic. [Handler to Def Jam employee, when I’m obviously about to start talking about the controversy and him losing his endorsement: You got the next one?] Much love. Great interview. Wish you much success.
Yeah, man. Same. You don’t have time for a couple more questions?
We got a couple ****** waiting, man.
the rest is here: http://noisey.vice.com/blog/rick-ross-mastermind-interview-vice
Love lots of Ross's music. Hate his persona. He be talkin in circles and flexin for no reason.
and be sayin boss 10x in an interview
