On January 8, 2012 rap spitter - Rick Ross tweeted the following: "Just spoke to my biggest musical influence for the 1st time. Dr. Dre just changed my life with a phone call..."
Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'? Could a 'collabo' be in the works for Double-R and Dr. Dre, possibly? What would be Dre's incentive for blessing Ross with beats, especially since he's all-good with his cash-cow, and one of the best selling platinum rap artists, Eminem? We checked the vibe from fans of the doctor and most don't seem too crazy about the idea.
Some say they're not cool with Ross' former employment as a cop; they question his "gangsta" credibility, making him ineligible to work with hip-hop's tightest producer and [original] 'gangsta' beat hit maker. In other words, they don't think Ross rates high enough to lace one of Dre's toxic kush-rhythms, let alone a whole project's worth. Oh well.
Time will tell if this is all shake or real choke in the air between Dr. Dre and Rick Ross, but you can't hate on Ross soakin'-up game from one of rap music's most respected.
A hook-up that's swagg for-real-though was Doc and L.A. street legend - Freeway Rick Ross,
linkin'-up in Los Angeles, California. During an event back in August, 2011 Dre donated some of his Beats by Dre headphones, for a community dance competition, to O.G. - Rick Ross' Freeway Enterprise Presents: L.A. Can Dance event. Good look to both O.G.'s for givin' back to the hood.
(um...Rakim comes to mind), this, too, might just be another bone for buzz. If the deal does happen, the pressure will be on Double-R to bring-it on a level far beyond what he's delivered in the past. What do you think?
