Rick Ross may be a fan of Tupac,
but when it comes to the “greatest rapper” of any time period, he feels that
the Notorious B.I.G. deserves the title.

| Notorious B.I.G |
In an interview with FUSE the
Boss lauded the slain Brooklyn rapper. “I was inspired by Notorious B.I.G. a
lot,” he said. “His demeanor, the way he
carried himself. He was just so laid back, he was just so authentic, not to
mention I felt he was the greatest MC of all time.”
Fresh off the release of his God
Forgives I Don’t album, Ross also explained the hands-on approach that he takes
to his music. “I pick every beat that’s on the album,” Ross added. But when
putting together songs, Ross works with members of his A&R team (like DJ
Khaled) to link him with the proper producers. “If I’m looking for a certain
sound they’ll go in, reach out to the people they believe that could make that
sound the best.”
The rest of the FUSE interview
finds the Miami native breaking down his “Sixteen” collaboration with Andre
3000, which was put together over Skype.
God Fogives I Don’t is expected
to land Ross in the number one spot on the Billboard charts, and is poised to
sell between 200,000 and 220,000 copies.
