Rick Ross

And that night, I wrote the first verse.

Trina had a show in Tampa.

I drove up to Tampa just to play that record.

And I rapped the first verse.

And I just remember the look that I got from this one individual.

A guy looked at me and he had his mouth open and he was just like, damn, do it again.

And that's when I wrote the second verse, went home and recorded it.

A week later, I released it.

Yeah, I'm still just, you know, slip and slide, an independent record label.

But, you know, I recorded it, released it, and shit, everybody had to catch up at that point.

I don't even recall what the split was.

Because at that time, I understood it wasn't based on the split or the percentages then because I was just getting in the door.

I just wanted to lock them in and make them commit to supporting and investing just a little bit.

And I knew once I released the music that I was capable of making, the big money would come into play.

No, it was owned by me and Slip N Slide Records.

Facts.

Facts.

it still shakes the arenas, it still shakes the stadiums.

Yeah, it's one of the greatest songs of all time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
