Rick Ross

He's been featured on two or three of my albums.

But he had what his mom would do was like, you know, kids that had problems, she would adopt them.

So, you know, it's almost like he had five or six big brothers in his crib.

and they were doing music and everything else.

So I was introduced, you know, through my homie, Poon, to his big brothers and them who had vinyl records, this, that.

Oh, so we a rap group?

Yeah, y'all a rap group now.

Okay, so we a rap group, shit.

It's all good.

You know, my freestyle skills was never like that.

I always wanted to put some thought into it.

You know what I'm saying?

I had homies who would start just spitting, but that never really impressed me.

You know what I'm saying?

The dudes I was listening to, they were saying things that was damn near mind-blowing.

So if I walked up to somebody and somebody was like, yeah, my kicks on, hits on, dicks on, ricks on.

Yo, chill out, homie.

Nah.

Shit, I was listening to everywhere.

East coast, west coast, down south, it didn't matter.
