Rick Ross ADDRESSES Drake beef & talks upcoming ‘Set In Stone’ album, Verzuz battle with French Montana & new book

24:02Rick Ross:And for the rappers that can't read, that's fucked up. We got to, you know, reading is fundamental. But for Rosé, my first book to me was about me introducing myself, not just as an artist, but on a personal side of who I was for anybody that didn't know me. The second book was me coming from an entrepreneurial standpoint. me having X amount of partnerships, me investing this, me, this many franchises, this many, this, this many, that this one was more like, yo, I'm 20 summers in the game. How do I continue feeding that fire and allowing it to burn? Not just where I'll be recording music, but actually giving the streets on my field they need.

24:47Rick Ross:You know what I'm saying? So that's what this book about. You know what I'm saying? and still waking up every day and still feed that fire and doing it in a major way. And not just winning, but winning bigger than, you know, you could ever really put on the table and expect. Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother. Yeah, of course. Thank you, brother. Appreciate it. Thank you, brother. Yo, Ross, man, I'm looking at your beard. It's so flawless. You got, this nigga got to shave his ears, man. You got to put them on. Yo, yo, yo, yo. I'm just keeping him up with you. What? What? What? Not a flag? Which one?

25:26Which one?

25:26Rick Ross:You all that thing got? I ain't know. I missed the flag. He still was looking like Calabilla. Said he got to tell him to shave his ears. He got to shave his ears. He's getting a little bit of pressure. No, no, no, no. The mustache he had the last time I seen him, it scared me. And I told him I asked him on personal level, let it grow all out. And he did it for me. My brother did. He's doing his mustache out in his ears. No, that mustache look like you be on Forensic Files episode. You see what I'm saying? We got a mustache. He ain't here today, but we got a guy that... A mustache is a sick one.

26:00We got a mustache.

26:02Rick Ross:No, you got to watch them. No, you got to watch them. No, you got to watch them. Yo, I don't fucking trust that guy. No, no, no. I tell you that all the time. I'm looking at him. You know, the raw mustache is scarier than a pooch. He's got all type of tacos and shit in his mustache. Oh my God. That motherfucker out of here with that shit. Nah, keep. Raleigh fingers. Yo, ah, yo, Freddie. What's up, brother? 57, Freddie in the building. Freddie pulled up. You know what I'm talking about? That's my nigga, Freddie, right there. You know your man one time tried me. What's my man's exclusive game? See?

26:37You don't remember that, huh?

26:39Rick Ross:He tried. He hit you a button. I know him. He don't know how long I know him. That's what he did. That's nothing. We pay. We pay. Yeah, we do. But one time he told me I was jacking his style. I don't know if he remembers that. I was at a fashion show with him. He said, yo, you've been jacking my style with this. I said, wait a minute.

27:00I had to pull up a rap video 20 years old and show them with the Goyard shit, all leather from head to head. I said, bro, there's no way. Like, I've been doing this for 20 years. That was 15 years ago, conversation I'm having with you. I said, yo, this was 20 years ago, my nigga. I had the Goyard. I turned the Goyard bags into fucking the whole outfit. I mean, you got to be kidding me. He thought I was jacking his shit. He said, yo, man, you know, I've been watching you. You've been jacking my shit lately. I said, Papi, you got this shit fucked up. I've been doing this shit. It's 88, but your man, he good guy, man.

Right. Being y 'all have such a catalog together, y 'all been together since day one, making hits together, this and that.

32:39Can you explain to me the origins of Rick Ross and Drake falling out? Like, what made you say, yo, fuck that, I'm not rocking with him no more?

32:50Rick Ross:Rosé was mentioned. I was mentioned. Oh, you was mentioned first. First. Facts. Oh, so that's how it happens. That's how it happens. You just defended yourself. It ain't even defending. You understand this homie mentioned Ricky Rosé and Rosé do what he do best. I go bad. I've been doing that a long time. I've always enjoyed giving a nigga a spanking if you don't understand what's happening. It ain't that. Rosé was mentioned. damn why would he mention Rose like I didn't I never understood that whole like that's one thing this show on fire when you get little man right here you ask him what made you mention Rose homie that's it it's that simple yeah just like I asked you because I was confused yeah that's what it is what happened and that's what and that's what and that's what and that's what and that's what real ones do you address it and it's really too easy.

33:56I ain't understand it because I always thought I always thought he with us. I never even recorded a song with him or nothing. I always thought, yo, no! Yo, Ross. Yo, Ross. No! No! Stop! I swear to God. I always thought he was with us. I thought he was with us. I'm like, you know. No, you got to understand.

34:22Rick Ross:We always, you know, we rock, homie. At that time, Cash Money was in Miami. It was a positive thing we had going to. Khaled was the glue. You know what I mean? At that time, when I was doing records like Aston Martin Music, that was Rose saying, yo, Chrisette Michelle going to do this half of the hook. And I'm going to get, you know, at that time, I got John Legend, the biggest R &B motherfucker in the game at that time on Speed Dial. You understand? Yo, I'm going to put John Legend on this one too. That's Khaled in the background. Yo, it's a little dude. His name is Drake. Let him do it. You know, and cool.

35:01Rick Ross:It's John Legend at the time. Yo, we do it. And it was just a genuine vibe. When it went left, hey, man, that's for them to figure out. I ain't figuring that out. You know what I mean? And shit, it's really small talk to me. Once you mention Rosé's name, I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to enjoy coming up. That's just me by the pool. BBL Drizzy. You know, you know, nigga know you had the tummy tuck, the nose reduction, all that shit. That shit. No, I'm giving you what you ask for. No, I'm giving you what you ask for. Rose can't let you down. On the plane. I can't do that. No, I won't let you down.

35:46I didn't want it.

35:47Rick Ross:No, I won't let you down. Can somebody call me some Bel-Air? I'm going to give my brother what he need. Woo! Let me ask you another question. Too easy. Bel-Air, right? Too easy. I know you're a partner in Bel-Air. Did you sell some of Bel-Air, like some of the equity or something in the Bel-Air? Of course not. So you still own the same... Y 'all never sold at all? No, man. Shout out to my big homie, Brett Barish, man. So you're not, like, building a brand, and then you sell it, and then you... So that never happened. Not yet. No. Once you tap out, you go somewhere, you go and create something and start building something new.

36:27Uh-huh.

36:27Rick Ross:You ain't going to sell it and shit keep going. Yeah. Once it's sold, it's sold. You know what I'm saying? We still Luke Bel-Air. And I've seen the new yacht. You was like. I know it's hard to explain. No, it's hard. I get it. Yo, Ross. I get it. Yo, Ross. It's hard. That's why I think the writers might be the feds or something. I get it. Yo, Ross, I'm a little stage fright. I'm going to be honest with you. Like, I got, you know, I live in a, you know, I got a couple of properties. Let's be clear. Right, right, right. I live in a big house. The wife want a bigger one. Right? For no reason. And I'm getting a little, for no reason.

37:07Yeah. I'm getting a little stage fright. Get it. Get it, clean. Get it. It's so big and it's only two people. I'm like, yo, do we really need some shit? Of course you do. Of course you do. Who talks?

37:21Rick Ross:Yvette, you don't talk about this shit. You keep getting bigger and bigger. Go more and more. Yeah, that's the motivation. Don't do that. Don't do that. When your wife see this show, she come back. No, that's what I'm trying to tell you. I'm in the process right now. Bigger? Yeah, I got to go big. Go bigger. It's all your fault. Motherfucker. He's saying. Go bigger. Go bigger. Go bigger, huh? Yeah. Dang. That's going to motivate you that much more. That's what it do for me. The house already big, man. No, no, no. How two people, what, we gonna ride scooters in the house and shit and slap five?

37:54You could. This shit too big.

37:56Rick Ross:Why not? Just go walk around the neighborhood and look at you. You never get stage fright? Never. Remember, I was shocked when Khaled bought that big-ass fucking house. I said, yo, Khaled, man, are you sure? Never. He was like, yo, and Khaled's one guy I worry about, which I know not to worry about but he's one guy I check up your college because I sit there and this nigga spending so much money I'm like yo how do you do like I know you know we all get money but at least I think of my limitations right like so I'm like yo there is no limitations there is none you know what I'm saying buy the watch Rich buy the watch today yeah buy the house Rich buy the house yeah Yeah.

38:44Rick Ross:Buy the house, Rich. I bought my crib for - I'm going to buy that house because of Ross. Yeah. And I'm going to put Ross's name in the house. And one of these fucking balls, I'm going to leave it. Nah, nah. Nah, nah. Nah, nah. Hey, this is you. Nah. This is you. You convinced me. Buy the crib. I've been fighting the power. No, buy the crib. I bought my crib for$37 million. I put$25 more into it. Before it was done, I had two offers off the rip for$100 million. Just stop what you're doing. But my neighbor right across the street is spending$1.5 billion on his crib. His name is Ken Griffin. He bought eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14, knocking everything down.

39:30Rick Ross:It's a great investment. So my crib would be worth, I'm sure, easily$350,$400 million in two or three years for no reason. it's called cops.

39:45I've been trying to fight the power.

39:50Do it. Do it. You know, I meant to blow in the bag. I tell them all day, I blow in the bag, I don't give a fuck.

39:56Rick Ross:That ain't blowing the bag though. You ain't blowing the bag. That's blowing the bag up. Nah, blowing the bag is something totally different. That's when you fucking the money up. When you're getting into real estate in Miami, it's the hottest motherfucking place in the world. they could build them cars they can't build that corner no more they gotta buy that corner they gotta buy that lot right now they got a house she trying to make me buy that shit he got a hundred bodies he serve a hundred lives that shit make me feel like damn I'm gonna have to go back to Africa China right now I'm good I own my crib I got money in the bank I'm so good and that shit gonna put me back on that yo fat Joe hustler of the year yo can we do Joe and J nah that nigga in the Antarctica doing his show for some fucking Eskimos cause he got oh go get it go get it that shit go get it that shit right there go get it man alright I'm telling you go get it Ricky Rose ain't gonna tell you nothing wrong you know how that shit Uncle Dan be like yo my fingers feel like I ain't gonna tell you nothing wrong you got me hyped right now this shit got me hyped right now my palms are itchy I said yo I got to go for it.

41:10You know what I'm saying? Fuck it, right? Because the way I look at it, it's like, when you pull up the Fat Joe crib, you want to feel like, when I say, when you say, yo, Ross in town, yo, pull up to the crib. When you pull up, you be like, all right, it's Fat Joe crib. Like, you're supposed to open the gates, pull in shit a mile long, shit big. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to tell you how I,

41:30Rick Ross:I'm going to tell you how I think, though. That don't define a nigga money now. That's just like me. When I'm standing on the outside of the ocean, you could see some of the richest motherfuckers in the world pull up in a boat that short. So you know what I'm saying? I don't look at it like who got the biggest boat got the most paper because it'll be a motherfucker like King Griffin. I'm talking about worth 60 B's going by just, and I'm like, damn, look at the homie right there. He just... He in the paddle. He in the canoe. Oh man, some small shit. And this a motherfucker who own a 300 foot, you know, so you know, the mindset different, but I just believe and really invest in that shit.

42:11Rick Ross:Rose ain't going to run it. I'm going to run it. I'm going to throw the dice. Yeah, yeah. You definitely do. You definitely throw the dice. I've seen you do shit. Your life is so amazing, Ross. No. I live vicarious through you. I see you. I said, man, if I was single, I'd be living like Rick Ross, man. I'd be looking at you. I said, man, I'd be listening. I ain't going to let you angle. I said, this be a fucking problem out here in these streets. the big boys would be tearing this shit up. We got to. We got to. I'm home. I'm nice and home on that couch, writing my graffiti, minding my business.

42:49I'm minding my business. I love it. So, so, so, Rosé, what's new? You know, the verses, I'm going to be honest with you. Uh, I don't like friends doing verses like that. Like, you know, I try to start with, with, with Ja Rule for no reason. They did it the right way. They didn't do it. I was threatening them and all that. Nah, but I like to, you know, I'm a sucker for a fight. You know what I'm saying? I already knew French and Ross. I knew what that was. Y 'all got like seven song hits together, too. So I was like, all right, I know what that is. That's going to be easy. When you went out there with Dipset, even though you get along with them, you went out there with the Venom.

43:29They started with... See? They fucked up. You heard, Ross? They started with you, Cassie? My gosh, yeah. What did they say to get you like that? Because you were easygoing guy. Why didn't they get you? You had that. Why are you doing this? No, no, I'm in the crowd. You was in front and center. I'm in the crowd. I don't know. You heard everything that I heard. They told me we wasn't from, we wasn't home. It started like that. This ain't y 'all backyard. Y 'all ain't from your head. This, that. Yeah. Meanwhile, he's your neighbor in Coconut Grove. He's my neighbor in Coconut Grove. Shout out to Ken.

44:04Right, man. Shout out to the niggas that put me down in Miami. Eat your damn with your life. I moved to Miami. New York was so mad. Like, so mad. I didn't say that. There's something to talk about. You know how much people wish they could move there that's so mad? That's a great investment. It felt like... And you're going back and forth. This guy here, my whole life, he's the only rapper in New York City. I bumped into Lil Wayne at the supermarket more in Miami than I bumped into. He's the only rapper I would bump into. He be going to the weed spots. He go to the stick ditch. Other than that, I've never seen a New York rapper in New York.

44:49I haven't. I'm sorry, guys. I don't know. Fat Joe is in every boat there. New York rapper with stickers. No, no. I'm telling you the fuck going on. No. They not outside. They ain't been outside.

45:03Rick Ross:Niggas ain't at the sneaker spot? No. Niggas ain't at the spot eating oxtails? No. Niggas ain't eating the motherfucking oxtail fry rice down in the borough. I'm not saying niggas ain't real. What I am saying is when I drive down 125th, 145th, Brooklyn, this, this, that, it's only me. I'm going to tell you, it's hard for me to believe that because me growing up, when I turned on When you're on TV, we raps all over. I'm not talking about the TV. Culture sites for kids. Niggas. Oh, no, no, no. Niggas is on the corners. I'm not talking about the party. They coming to the party. No, not the party.

45:41I'm just saying bumping into the niggas. Bumping into a New York rapper, it don't happen. That's crazy. And I'm outside. Every bodega, every taxi driver, every... Anybody you name, Jamaican joint, Spanish joint, they no fat joke. I'm outside. When I go, I'm in Miami. No, I believe you. Because when you're in Miami, nigga, you there. When I say I'm in Miami, it was almost like a cemetery. Like a nigga died because he was the only one they see on the corner. He's the only one to get out and argue with niggas and talk shit. He the only one. They lost their presence. Yo, this nigga done left. What kind of shit is this?

46:18This nigga. Like, I was. You. It wasn't you. So you didn't catch the backlash I was catching. So they was dumb type. I never left. Now you get the ultimate. you get the ultimate New York verses and the first thing he say it ain't the niggas that move to my I thought he was shooting me I was in Hermes in the crowd I wasn't in New York I made my first album in my head I fucking love my head but you said but we're in the mecca of New York and you telling me y 'all ain't home y 'all ain't from here and you don't live here

46:55Rick Ross:presently that's what made you set up That was a spark. Yeah, that was a nice thing to spark. But hip-hop was always based on that competitive spirit. This is a competitive sport. So if it wasn't French, my brother, my little homie that we done, you know what I mean, done spent the night in the studio together, you know what I mean, just so long, it easily could niggas could be talking slick. It would have been bad. Like, I could picture Rosé. Oh, it would have been too easy. Nah, nah. Rosé, the bad one. But I go to Carbone and I bump into Nori. I bump into this one. I go to the fucking car wash.

47:37I bump into Cam. All these niggas wanted me to die. Like, yo, he moved to Miami. This nigga's not the real one. Why he moved down there? All them niggas live down there now. Everywhere I go, New York rappers, New York rappers, New York rappers. Hey, everybody. I was just up on the shit way early niggas investing though

47:59Rick Ross:yeah that's how it go what about new music new music they could preorder the album right now set in stone set in stone yeah it's out June 12th June 12th y 'all set in stone Rose your best verse to you your best verse to you I got one that's your best No, no. What is it? I got him. Did you? Yeah, what is it? I said it's the shit with you and Kanye. What's that joint? Devil in the New Jersey. That was a beautiful moment, without a doubt. And for a lot of people, that shit was an emotional, passionate vibe. You know what I mean? But it just, for me, it depends on the mood I'm in. You know what I mean?

48:46Rick Ross:I done said some shit, man. I done had fun doing it. but what is your favorite verse? What do you think? Just coming off the top of the dome. He got a lot. It's too many. Don't fucking flash. He's not one of few, few great creations. I got one. My joint enemy with Big Al. That's my favorite verse of my whole career. You got to know what your favorite verse is. You don't have a favorite verse. He has a lot. When I go to my Ross Missography, it's not verses. It's projects. and I might, depending on how I'm feeling, it's rich forever. It could be, it's all type of shit. I got a section of this him and Rafael Sadiq.

49:28He shit sound crazy. They ever made. One of my favorites is, I'm in the, in the, in the, in the honor. Do, do, do. Sticking right here. Do, do, do. It's crazy. But that's some of those,

49:42Rick Ross:that's some of those Rosé B-sides, man. And that's the thing. sometimes those B-sides mean more than the big records. It could be Tears of Joy, one of those verses from Tears of Joy. There we go. It's like I'm just tapping in, speaking to my mom, and letting her know, you know what I'm saying? Thank you for supporting the boy. 1800. No, 1800. Rose, keep it 1800 with it. You already know what it is. 1800. Rose, the biggest. We doing deals. Man, we got to do it big at all times, man. We celebrate going out on tour. 20-year anniversary. I'm going out with the orchestra. We going to do it big. You know what I mean?

50:24Rick Ross:We setting it off in Miami. May 29th. Fly shit. Big boy, heavy boy shit. I might got to come down there. I got to give you flowers that people always give you, but probably sometimes they, for some reason, might not. But your beat selection is out of this. it gotta be one or one A. You never pick the bad beat ever. Ever. I'm talking about for freestyles, for throwaways, for your shit. I don't know how. I don't know what your process is. I don't know what you tell them, give me the special hard drive, come live with me and make this. I don't know what the fuck you do, but you sent me a beat one time.

51:10Appreciate it. Appreciate it, my G. He sent me a beat. I had to be Justice League at the time. But the beat is so crazy. Look, he just sent me the beat. They gave you. He just sent me the beat with nothing. Me calling back, bro. Yo, boss, what we doing with this? That's all he said. We getting all your money, kids. And hung up. We getting money. And then the shit turned into a beautiful fucking. A beautiful record. I said, yo, this thing is the illest thing. A beautiful video. Just think all your money. And I got this verse on time. I was saying, this thing is the illest. Anybody I ever did a song with, this is the illest ever.

51:54Just all your money. My nigga, all your money. Because you do it in your sleep. And you pick great beats. I pick incredible beats, too. So it's one of the things. I know some rappers that would have had 100 times better career if they knew how to pick beats. The greatest guys in the world. Not an easy thing. And people take it for granted. The fucking greatest. You know how many artists I know dead and I never knew how to pick beats? If the wrong person, if the right person pass you the wrong beat, you think is it. And that's like an epidemic. You know, this is very old school. The right person can pass you the wrong beat and you just think that's it.

52:37because of who passes you. This is very old school what I'm going to say. You can meet a nigga at the gas station pass you a hard drive that fucking blowing shit. Am I right? Facts. Go ahead. I've been there where rappers invite me to their listening session and I go there and they niggas just banging literally because, you know, New York, we was very exaggerated. Like, you remember back in the days when you talk about them MTV videos where niggas used to really dance and all that? So if a nigga on your dick, He running up the wall, banging his head, acting like it's really incredible, like they doing too much.

53:12And I'm sitting there. They're like, yo, crack, what you think? The album really trashed, my nigga. I'm sitting in the studio. I'm sitting there like, now, why they call it real? This is my problem in life. Why you call it real if you want the fake response? Don't call it real when you want the fake response. I'm sitting in the studio. Niggas is banging their head on the wall. this. I'm like, oh my God, this shit trash in my head. Jesus Christ, can it get any whacker? You only wrong when you leave and don't tell them that.

58:07Rick Ross:But look, I like what you said about the whack rappers that might get out of line and shit. Just imagine if I had the chance to slap 50 cent with this shit right here. Come on, man. This is a family show, Roy. No, I'm just saying. Just imagine that. That's a blessing. You had a chance to smack the whack rappers with that, you said? Imagine if I could just catch 50 Cent with that. That backhand. No. No, for real. I ran out of flags. We just talked about. No, no, no. You just mentioned it. Joe, I got to give you what you need. No, I'm not talking about him. No, you wasn't. No, I wasn't. Yeah, yeah.

58:43Rick Ross:Yeah, yeah. I caught that. I caught that. No, you wasn't. The whack rappers running around. I'm sorry for me. And then you get the. Bah! I had nothing to do with that. With the million dollar backhand. You feel me? This is that million dollar one right here. I caught that. No, I didn't say that. No, we was talking about... Oh, no, no. No, we caught that. We caught that. Yo, but let me tell you something. When you see your man Gunplay talking about he want to vibe with niggas and this and this and that. What's up with, like... Niggas, we going through things, man. Niggas, we going through things.

59:17Rick Ross:Niggas, we going through things. You understand? Was that the first, like, Benedict Arnold on the team? because y 'all keep it, like I've had them. I gotta use the bath. I gotta use the bath. What happened? No, no, no, no. Stay here. Stay here. The mic, bro. No, no, no. You got to realize, you got to realize different niggas go through different things and everything going to present itself at, you know, at the right time. I can't go no further than that. You know what I'm saying? But the whack nigga you was talking about, we could go back to him. You was talking about 50 Cent, the whack nigga that getting smacked down.

59:50Rick Ross:Man, I'm not even thinking about him. I was talking about a time when he was talking about I called that. I called that alley-oop, nigga. I called it. I'm a dunking. No, no, no, no, no. You told me the alley, I'm a dunking. Nigga, this is Joe and Jada. I'm not doing that, Ross. Stop it. I'm a Wimbayaya, nigga. Yeah, yeah, Wimbayaya. Wimbayaya. Wimbayaya. Rose. Yo, yo, yo, Ross, let me tell you something, though. But, you know, I have my share of defectors and what we call them, to disgruntled employees or niggas who used to be down, they find theyself outside the light. Because it's a light. You know what I'm saying?

1:00:28I'm with Rick Ross. If I'm just hanging out with Rick Ross, if I'm that guy, the book guy, I'm in the private. I'm eating hors d 'oeuvres. You on the jet, nigga. You on the yacht. You on the yacht. You on the moon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Niggas don't understand the affiliation lifestyle. Yeah. The affiliation. We go to the Philly game, yo K. You pull up. Skinny Joe got the fucking cheese steaks for you. This, the affiliated lifestyle, right? No, I tell them, so we got a little thing. We're going to say something, and this is not bad because I love everybody, right? But say, like I hear some guys that work for Cali, they complain, yo, I work too hard at this and this and that.

1:01:10I say, these niggas work too hard at the$60 million mansion. They work too hard on the G6. They work too hard at the fucking Grammy red carpet. They work too hard with the lobsters in states every day. Like, oh, you're isolated in the Turks and Caicos. I can't do it. So if I got to represent the labor unions, I can't represent them. Ross, you got the big shit. You know, when I was a kid, you run into the war, you get a chichon. Spanish niggas call that chichon. They'll put butter on your shit, sugar. You hit a nigga with that shit? I've never heard of sugar. That shit be like...

1:02:00Rick Ross:But guess what? If and when it happened, I got the plug to get a nigga veneers done. I got a dentist's office too, so if a nigga too came out to whack rappers, anybody that can't read, I caught that too, Kiss, you know what I mean? Who can't read? Mad rappers. You can't read? Let's just have a read-off. Well, you know, we'll start with this book right here, the Renaissance book. It only makes it. The only thing you can't do to kiss is put that fucking teleprompter that far away. Hey, man. Hard Rock, best 18, honey. OEKC. You got the higher and the lower. OEKC. You got the this, this motherfucker.

1:02:41I'm going to make you read the rest of the motherfuckers. No, no, no.

1:02:50Oh! Oh! Woo! Rose, man, I'm so proud of you. I see Freddie here. You make, because every time I worried about you, you proved me wrong. Fact. So, like, you bought this big-ass house, Evander Holyfield shit, and I'm like, what the fuck? Rose doing? How many people would fit, how many people could sleep in this house? in Atlanta.

1:03:22Rick Ross:75, maybe? What the fuck? And Rick Ross is there with two, three people, right? So what I'm saying is, that shit...

1:03:32I'm like, yo, this nigga's bugging out like why he bought this house. Next thing I know, you throwing the car show with Freddie. And that shit ran packed, making money out the wild. I said, yo, Rose say, always, always find a fucking way. I mean, that's genius. When did you say, yo, I'm going to let the whole community in my house? To me, I don't throw parties. I don't even talk to my neighbors. Were you to throw 1 ,000, 2 ,000 people in your house?

1:04:03Rick Ross:8 ,000, 10 ,000. Yeah. It was actually 12 ,000. You got to be creative. When you got somebody like 57, Freddie building your old school, it's easy to get a half a million dollar tap. and after you do that a few times you gotta find a way. You know what? Freddie, let's get some money together by G. You feel me? And so we just said let's do it in the front yard. You know what I'm saying? We put it together. We made it happen. June 13th is the fifth annual. Oh, shit. Pacata. That's a royal slap, too, because this shit is like diamond down. Yeah, yeah, for no reason. I had to. That shit got me down with the pink shit on.

1:04:49It's like, yo, let me tell you something. Yo, you Mr. Roy, you slapping. Have come-in. Yo, this nigga gonna hit you with the book. We beat up this guy one time, Ross.

The minute he turned, bang, everybody getting one off on him. That nigga went like this and caught me, bang, with the back, bang. I was like, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo. I see the fucking birds out there, bitch. Get him. I'm like, don't let that nigga go because if he catch one of you, y 'all don't want this. That nigga hit me with the bang. I said, oh, the birds was like, the fucking stars was going. I said, oh, my God. I tell you that story all the time, Rich.

1:05:44And he ain't calling me with the back end. You catch a nigga with that shit. What? Electrified.

1:05:52Rick Ross:The thing is, I can't wear it in the strip clubs. The girls just want to suck it. You know what I mean? I asked him, don't put it all the way down your throat. Yeah. No, for real. It ain't that serious. No, no. Oh, for real. You go to my Instagram. I say, yo, yo, this.

Rose was a young nigga. I seen that Cherokee, but I already knew. Whatever we gotta do to get a Cherokee, we with it. You need that, right? He inspired me like crazy, but you done inspired some fat niggas worldwide, man. Salute, nigga. Whoever they had, and the niggas we didn't inspire. They was Rose.

And in this hip hop game, that's just like me. off the camera, niggas would love to say, I personally hate Drake for life, nigga. Would you hate? No, homie, we not going to make it that.

I was thinking about some old school rappers. I don't want to say who y 'all are for. Who? It was the old nigga. It was some old niggas, man. It was some friends of mine that back in the day, they had the game in the chokehold, and then they got a big album deal. They got their first big check. And they fly. And, man. G-Unit. No.

You know, I lost my sister, my best friend, Big Pond, and my grandfather like the same week or two. And I was like, this was too much for me. And I was the boss, and so I had a lot to deal with. And so I had to go therapy. You know what I'm saying? And when I went to therapy, the whole time I thought I was, that shit expensive. I thought I was getting a jerk. and the lady would just let me talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. And in her form of therapy, I realized when I snapped out of depression is she make you figure it out yourself.

1:17:59She like, she'll talk to you till you figure it out yourself and you over the depression shit. And so you got to realize that, you know, I don't know why I explained that story, but I'm going to be honest.

1:18:16Rick Ross:It's a part of the therapy. Yeah, the therapy. Speak it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, she convinced me to figure out myself. She wasn't telling me like, all right, you got to do this or here's these pills or here's this. She would hear me out every week. And then to the point of where I heard myself. And I was like, all right, we got to switch this shit up and get up out of this shit right here. Big turn. You know what I'm saying? So that's the point. Like yesterday was my first mom's day without my mom's. That was hard. Sorry to hear that, my brother. I ain't didn't know a lot of you. That was always.
