Rick Ross – “I Feel Like I’m Competing For The Throne”
“I feel like it’s much more soulful, it’s much more sophisticated,” Ross said. “To be considered one of the best, you gotta compete. That’s what I feel like I’m doing. I feel like I’m competing for the throne. I feel like the fans and the people can see my hunger. They could see my growth. They could know I’m not satisfied with just two #1 albums and selling 2 million records, or whatever I sold. I want more.”

April 8th, 2009 at 11:57 am
But don’t if you make everything up, everything you said before that and after that is moot. Asher Roth will outsell him anyway. Check the charts I Love College is 12 while Magnificent is number 75. Its more legit college students than legit fake drugdealers anyway.
April 8th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
realtalkny, u said it best in the last post. He’s the most delusional person we have seen. He seems like the type of dude that lie so much, he actually start to believe the dumb shit he say.

THERE´S TWO TYPES OF CHARACTER IN THIS BEEF, ONE WHO DESTROYS, OR AT LEAST TRIES VERY HARD TO DESTROY PEPOLES CARRIES, AND ONE WHO PUT PEPOLE ON, ONE WHO TALKS BAD ABOUT AND HATE ON EVERYBODY. ONE WHO TRIES TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY AROUND HIM GET TO SHINE AND EAT, AND ONE WHO ONLY MAKING SURE HE GET TO SHINE AND EAT.
ONE WHO WEARS WIGGS, AND ONE WHO SMOKE BLUNTS, ONE WHO TAKE A CAR FROM HIS BABYMOMS AND ONE WHO BURN DOWN HIS BABYMOMS HOUSE!
ONE WHO LIES TO SAVE HIMSELF, AND ONE WHO LIES TO SPREAD HATE!
WICH ONE WOULD YOU RIDE WITH?

rick ross competing for the throne dud is a joke he got a long as way to the throne dude is lame
April 8th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
cosign justice
this dude life is a movie, but 90percent of rappers including the ones you all support are livin a movie. so when u put things in perspective u gotta look at him in the same light as the rest. in a fraud competition he’s not winning but he’s not in last place either he sumwhere in the middle which is a good thing. I don’t put him in competetion with those I personally think spit the truth in rhymes. so he can compete wit 90 percent of hiphop and be the king in the land of the frauds if he takes down the current king of the frauds 50
April 8th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Nope. NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!
April 8th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
WHAT THRONE THIS NICCA TALKIN BOUT ?…I KNOW HE AINT TALKIN BOUT HIP-HOP, NICCA YOUR LIFE IS A LIE lol., IF HE’S TALKIN BOUT THE BURGER KING THRONE THEN HE’S GOOD.
April 8th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Competing for the throne? This dude can’t be serious.
On another note, doesn’t Rick Ross look like the flying monkeys from The Wiz?

No
April 8th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Yea. He is the hottest rapper out right now. Kanye is still focusing on making videos for 8o8’s. Wayne is on his rock shit. Hova has his album in the works. Jada doesn’t really have a huge buzz around him right now. I’ll go out on a limb and see he’s pretty close to capturing the throne.
And I noticed that a lot of people are pulling out the fraud card. I believe he’s talking about the music.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
MV THANK YOU for keepin it real
and not acting like a little kid liek most people in the comment section
I too think Ross is goin for the throne i mean like you said its wide open,of course wayne and kanye are on top right now but they on some other shit right now.Ross has been putting out some bangers as of late.If this album does numbers and is great which i think it should be.Then i think hes gonna have the throne
April 8th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
@ Mv
Name one hot verse ross has spit
Just one
Not a hot line but a WHOLE verse that was fire
take ya time….
You can’t because it aint one
If we gonna talk about the music, lets talk about the music
How can you compete for the throne when musically and lyrically he aint even built to watch REAL rappers compete?
He doesn’t have a hot verse to even throw in the ring to even be considered in the running.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
He can’t compete cuz he aint built for it plain and simple.
He can’t beat any REAL rapper in a battle or otherwise.
Tell Ross to make a album by himself.
He can’t he needs assistance.
Someone with no skills shouldn’t even be allowed to throw their name in the ring.
But its a different time and era.
When even hot garbage ass niggaz can be this idiotic and arrogant.
Shit even SB think he top 10.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
he’s a better lyricist then people give him credit for and the production on his songs are always on point…..hate it or love it he will be around for another album after this one….the singles i’ve heard from deeper then rap sound better then the ones from em and 50’s new album if u keep it 100
April 8th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
fuck rick ross he a bitch tha man dont have no thron!!!50 won the beef ross your a lame.a fraud/cop.
April 8th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
50 is a NEW york artist … NEW YORK artists have the HIGHEST level of expectation
Ether
2nd round knock out
The ripper is Back
Superugly
Animal
Hail Mary
all diss tracks comin out of NY last few years
Tia told me & Officer ricky …
do these tracks really live up to the NY standard? lets be real …
the great NY artists have always been the most lyrical … but 50 isnt top 20 lyrically so how good is 50? lets be real …
April 8th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
U not even top 50 Ricky!!!!
April 8th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
Someone said it best! He actually may be delusion al! He is talented, and because he may be the most talented person in his circle, he may actually believe what he says. It’s like being surrounded by yes men and women, and they need to convince you that you are the greatest because their livelihood depends on your success. I respect his talent and his ability to be creative, but I feel he’s feeling himself a little too much and bit off more than he can true. When dealing with a financial giant like “Fif” that can dedicate their lives to ruining yours, you must think twice.
April 8th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
@granted
Have u actually heard officer down?? Because if you had u wouldnt question whether that track meets the ny standard for diss tracks.. Banks start to finishd not only killed that track he buried it lol

if u think supaugly is one of the best diss tracks.. dont forget about Backdown, by guess who… 50 cent… lol clown, dont pick and choose what songs from 50 u want to make a point w/… Backdown is a better diss track then supaugly
April 8th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
and that ll cool j diss track was garbage lol no comin back from a 2nd round knockout lol
April 8th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
i was hoping you would mention that …
back down another good diss track … it goes up there with the other ones i put … but it was years ago … like the other ones …
since then 50 had a chance to put himself on top lyrically when he faced off with jadakiss …
i mean those 2 facing off was supposed to be like Nas vs. Jay … but nas and Jay are BOTH lyrical … like jada … and unlike 50
but what did 50 produce in that beef? Jadakiss produced Animal
please list the names of the songs and tell me how the compare to back down … a good diss track
then tell me who won that beef … and why …
then the ross situation comes along and all i can think is “50 is going to shred him lyrically, i mean NY vs. SOUTH shouldnt even be a competition … ”
(no disrespect to the south but NY is MECCA)
officer ricky comes out and all i can think is “is this the best a NY artist has to offer? ”
then tia told me … still nothing spectacular, decent at best …
without you tube, or blogging, or cartoons where would 50 be?
wat would 50 do without ross’ baby mother, who will say anything 50 wants her to say since he is paying for the book
50 has disrespected ross and has beat ross everywhere except where it matters to HIP HOP … on the mic
what this issue between ross and 50 is proving, once again, like it did with jadakiss, is that 50 cannot lyrically, cannot battle another lyrical artist ..
he can disrespect them in other ways but not on the mic the way ALL other GREAT NY artists have been able to do
April 8th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
that ll vs canibus beef created a chain reaction …
canibus WON but most ppl wouldnt admit it …
… because LL was more of an ICON, LL had more power and control in the game
sound familiar?
April 8th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
anyone who took the time to hear the two diss records knew that canibus won the battle.. Only media outlets wer backing LL..
As for ross all of his diss tracks have been garbage, appart from the valley of death snippet i heard which sounds decent.. But stil u cant come bk from officer down lol
April 8th, 2009 at 9:05 pm
some one tell rappers that u have to have a classic album b4 u even think u in the top anything that goes 4 jada to my nigga beans roasted u when he said jada u a lil 16 bar spitter kiss album is fuckn trash rick ross giving niggas a compilation album…lol rick ross and friends then he trying to start a r&b group 2 come at 50…lol once that happenes 4 get about it u offically dead cuz u need help iam tired of these niggaz thinking they better than they really are
April 8th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
@ granted… ok can u name 1 good diss track that came from Officer Ricky? ill wait….This is fun for 50… he is not attempting to be the most lyrical.. he is just attemptin to end Officer Rickys career… he put out 2 diss tracks already. where as ricky hasnt put out one complete diss record… he used to be lyrical.. obviously u like a lot of young people dont know 50’s past.. i dont know someone who cant rap be asked to ghost write… yea 50 used to ghost write……if u listen to 50’s earlier work before he got w/em he was what u would consider a lyricist… where did that get him? in todays world u dont need to always say the most crazy thing to sell… cmon look at who is running hip hop… is nas? no, is jay-z? no, is any lyrical rapper the face of hip hop right now?no.. so please dont get mad at 50 cause he likes money nigga… and if he wants to he can sit down and right something crazy… like jada said, 50 is probably the richest rapper who has the most hood still in him..
April 8th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
NO …….. YOU CANT TAKE NOTHING THIS GUY SAYS SERIOUS BECAUSE HE ALREADY GOT CAUGHT IN ONE LIE AINT NO TELLIN WHEN HE’LL LIE AGAIN LOL.
April 8th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
yea canibus killed ll but ross come on fam! a throne? nigga pleez … i thnk deeper thn rap is nice album but no way in hell u gne be gettn top dog anytime soon n 5o has spanked yo ass all around da internet lol n on da mic!
April 9th, 2009 at 12:32 am
A lot of ignorant answers. In my opinion, not right now but if he stays relevant & keeps delivering (we all know he has), maybe. His real competition will be T.I. Because Kanye & Lil Wayne are becoming so broad with their music that they want matter to average hip-hop fans. Ludacris just don’t have enough swag, even though he has the skills. Hov won’t be producing records at the competitve pace anymore.
