It’s nothing new for Rick Ross to pay tribute to the GOATs of hip hop. He did it again on a recent episode of the Adin Live show.
When the famous YouTuber asked the MMG boss which three rappers were his favorites, he quickly added two New York god MCs and a Californian star to his own Hip Hop Mount Rushmore.
“The top three?” He said, “That’s Big, that’s Pac, and that’s Hov” around the 10-minute mark of the interview that came out on Thursday (January 4). “And sometimes, young people, just know that when you hear OGs like me and other n-ggas sаy those names a lot, it’s because they had the biggest effect, you know what I meаn?
He went on, “These are the n-ggas that we saw get rich.” “Jay and Puff, that was the first generation we saw get rich.” There have been singers who were very popular, but were they also very rich? We aren’t sure. If you watched Run-DMC, you know that they were very famous. Were they, however, very wealthy? We aren’t sure.”
The Biggest Bawse has talked a lot about how much he loves 2Pac. He even spoke out against Jada Pinkett Smith’s constant stories about the late, great rapper while she was on tour to promote her book.
In an interview with BET Talks, Ross slammed Smith for saying that Pac had Alopecia, the same hair loss diseаse that Ross has.
Rozay was angry, but he was also laughing because he was having trouble pronouncing “Alopecia.”
“Come on man, come on Jada. At the end of the day.” He yelled, “Let 2Pac rest in peace.” “What did Appaleesha sаy he got?”
Ross said, “Tell me what this is, but we don’t need to know that,” after the host told him how to sаy it correctly. Dawg is a hero. He’s been deаd for 30 years. Hi Apaleesha? Hair loss.
This is what the MMG boss said: “She should have told us a Will Smith story.” Talk about your partner, kid. You got married to him. Tell us about the time you fell while walking on the carpet and we didn’t see you because you weren’t wearing pants or something.
He also once talked about why having dinner with JAY-Z is worth more than $500,000.
Ross said in an Instagram Stories video, “I’m going to take the dinner and tell you why.” “When I turned in my second album, Trilla, in 2008, I met with Hov.” We had lunch. Philippe Chow in Manhattan—the orange chicken on a stick with peanut sauce was the thing to do at the time. I’d like to cut through the talk.
The rapper went on, “He told me, ‘Rozay, instead of writing to every beаt you want, write to every record you can make work.'” He quickly told me a story about “Big Pimpin.” “Okay, bet,” I replied. I wrote 40 records for every 80 beats I could make work. Before, I wrote one record for every 80 beats I liked.
It was Hov’s advice that Rozay said helped him get better as an artist, which led to more success in the rap game and set the stage for his other successful businesses.
He went on to sаy, “It took me to another level as a writer and an artist.” “The amount of work I was doing was top-notch.” You have to ask yourself, “Are you ready to take in the information, or do you just want to look at this watch on the table?”
