Bailouts? Rick Ross don't need no stinking bailouts. On his third album, the brawny ex-dealer keeps finding different ways to say he's rich, badass and well-sexed, calling himself "the black Phillip Drummond," "a greedy genius" and "the fat Tommy Lee." The Miami MC is still trying to seduce you with shiny beats and slo-mo lifestyle descriptions. Ross' player's paradise can be a very nice place to visit — outfitted with a cushy synth groove and a strenuous T-Pain chorus, the Kanye West- and Lil Wayne-assisted "Maybach Music 2" manages to be both triumphant and laid-back — but over the length of a full album it all feels a bit too familiar.
