Rick Ross Says He Is In An Exclusive ‘2 Percent’ Club With JAY-Z & Drake

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

I mean..he ain’t lying

OK, this part of the statement makes sense, but a lot of people won't get it because a lot of people don't think putting a song together is an art. Understandably, I didn't get it either. I just looked at it as listening to a beat, writing to it, and recording it. The "execution" though makes or breaks the song though because an artist can have a great idea, but it doesn't necessarily sound great.

With Ross, that "2%" he's saying he exists in hasn't been home for him lately. Ross was great at pulling the very best out of everybody he was working with, but now it's like he's been getting scraps. Just think, he got one of Nas's best verses on "Triple Beam Dreams". It was some verse of the decade caliber verse. One of the highlights of Jay Z's MCHG was the song that featured Ross. One of Drake's most quotable lines came from the same tape that featured "Triple Beam Dreams".

That Lemon Pepper Freestyle with Ross and Drake was classic. Drake should've saved that song and put it on his album.

Is there any other profession where people can just constantly talk about how great they are and people actually still like them? The only other place I can think of where this is considered cool by the fans/supporters is the Republican Party when Trump was running it.

“I am part of the 2% of humans who is so great that...” I can hear Trump saying that ish. Telling y’all, rappers acting like they wasn’t Trump dikk-swingers is fake news. Trump is a rapper who can’t rap

 

[BK The Great]

Is he talking about wealth? Obviously he fabricated his persona but he did become one of these most powerful rap artists out there. Can’t take that away from him. Lucky for me I don’t take rap artists serious all the time and can separate real from fake.

 

[papa pimp]

lol dumb ass means 98th percentile and on top of that this is just a dumb way to flip Future/Young thug types boasting about making a song in 20 minutes.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

That last Ross album was fukking terrible


This nikka picked the worst production now.
And shyt like he scared to do most his album alone cause almost every song have 2 or more features.

 

[BulletProof]

As mentioned before, Drake and Ross are the two most synthetic, artificial, constructed rappers maybe in its history.

That they have in common.

If I was Jay, I would feel a type of way about being grouped in with these two bullshyt artists.

Even if it was just based purely on sucess Jay sitting over a billion and adapting through decades of an ever-changing Hip Hop climate should feel insulted.

There's a reason the state of Hip Hop is in shambles.

These nikkas make it seem like making rap music is this hard ass science, that’s not special at all but I guess he work with so many guys with ghost writers and producers his image has been clouded

Bullshyt and I wish people would stop treating rap like Mcdonald's commercial rap is the same as writing masterful songs that turn into classics..

Yea... Any idiot can go write some bars.. But most of these rap nikkas, and everyone else, cannot hear a beat, write a GREAT SONG, perform it right there and then leave out the studio while it becomes a mega hit... Then do it again 5-10-20 times..

They need the producer to write a hook, their man to tell them to make the song about this, the A&R to demand a radio hit, the label owner to ask them for a list features, the sound man to come in and change the tempo, the ghostwriter to change 8 bars, and still that shyt is a dud.

Avg rap career gotta be a year and a half... And we just shyt on people who's been able to stay in this game 20-30 years as "that's easy cause it's rap".. Then go make some hits

[Bondye Vodou]

Whole lotta sour, crab-ass nikkas in the thread, but with excellence comes disdain.

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Never bought a Ross album/ mixtape. Dude always been offbrand

That's because you hear the microwave music of today...

I can imagine the aura when someone who is a master at his/her craft go in the studio and begin to create..
