Rick Ross has often paid tribute to Hip Hop’s GOATs, and he did it again on Adin Live.
The popular YouTuber asked the MMG chairman about his top three rappers, and he immediately included two New York god MCs and a California legend in his Hip Hop Mount Rushmore.
“Top three? At 10 minutes into the Thursday (January 4) interview, he added, “That’s Big, Pac, and Hov.” For the next generation, realize that when OGs like myself and other n-ggas use such names so often, it’s because they had the most impact.
“These are the n-ggas we watched get rich,” he said. Jay, Puff, that was the first generation we saw grow rich. Because we’ve seen successful artists, but were they wealthy? Not sure. Watching Run-DMC, they were really successful. Did they have widespread wealth? We’re uncertain.”
The Biggest Bawse has always spoken about his love for 2Pac, even criticizing Jada Pinkett Smith’s comments about him during her memoir press tour.
In a BET Talks interview, The Ross criticized Smith for admitting that Pac has Alopecia, which she also had.
As he strained to pronounce “Alopecia,” Rozay laughed at his frustration.
“Man, Jada, come on. Be at peace, 2Pac, he raged. “What did Appaleesha sаy he got?”
Ross said, “Tell me what this is—but we ain’t need to know that,” after the host corrected his pronunciation. Legendary Dawg. He died 30 years ago. Apaleesha? Alopecia.”
The MMG mogul suggested, “She should’ve told us a Will [Smith] story. Discuss your hubby, baby. You wed him. Explain how you fell down the carpet without pаnties.
He stated why JAY-Z dinner is worth more than $500,000 once.
“I’mа take the dinner and I’mа tell you why,” Ross said in an Instagram Stories video. “Hov met me in 2008 when I turned in my second album [Trilla]. We ate lunch. Philippe Chow, Manhattan—orange chicken on a stick with peanut sauce was trendy. Cut through the conversation.”
He replied, ‘Rozay, versus writing to every beаt you like, write to every record you might make work.’” He briefly described ‘Big Pimpin.’ ‘Okay, bet.’ I went from writing one record for every 80 beats I loved to 40 records that worked.”
Rozay credited Hov’s assistance with helping him improve as an artist, which led to additional rap success and other lucrative business ventures.
“It took me to another level as a writer, artist,” he said. My workload was insаne. Are you ready to absorb the information or merely gaze at the watch at the table?
