Do you think Rick Ross ever regrets not taking the FloRida/Pitbull route

Flo and Ross have a lot of mixtape songs together. I remember Flo was actually more lyrical than Ross before they blew up. Flo and Pit get no love in the hip-hop world but only a handful of rappers stream more than them. Plus they don't need millions for security or have to worry about any beef.Ross has basically pigeon holed himself and has to stay in character 24/7 and needs antics to sell records.

Ross had the sales while being accepted as part of the culture. Dude was so good everybody just let the C.O. exposure ride. Ross is also be all accounts a good businessman. He had Maybach Music legitimately poppin for a good 3-5 year run with multiple gold/platinum artists.

I think he’s happy right where he’s at.

Aren’t PitBull’s and FloRida’s investments just as impressive lowkey?

I remember hearing about that giant Celcius settlement Flo was awarded a while back :ohhh:

Most of the time Pitbull's name gets mentioned i think about the track below and how opposite of what he became he started as, i respect it though he wanted the money and he went for it...

They are all rich from businesses/investments, they good. Maybe if RR had no success, it may be a different situation.

This is more memorable than either Flo or Pitbull's recent music, to me anyway, based on how all 3 are currently.


its as generic as every verse ross has released in the last 5+ years.
