Two Superstars On The Same Track
pa href=http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kurtydurty1 target=_blankRick Ross/a says it was a process mdash; an extremely entertaining process mdash; that lead to a feature by Jay-z on Rick Rosss next album , a href=http://www.myspace.com/kurtydurty1 target=_blankTeflon Don/a. Rick Ross went to Jay-z last tour date for The Blueprint 3 and finally was able to get Hova on a record ./p
p Rick Ross said they partied until 4 in the morning and then went to do a studio session. Twenty-five bottles of Ace Of Spades; 7 a.m., you was just hitting the crap tables. Its 9-ish, 10-ish, so focused though once you go to the studio. That was the beauty in our bond mdash; our respect for one another. Rick Ross said he doesnt like to send records through an email or dropp of the beats ./p
pI was a roadie on the Blueprint 3 tour for a few dates, he explained of tagging along with Hov . It started off in St. Louis. I was just messing with everybody, kicking it with everybody, letting Jay hear my ideas and concepts. When you get the deluxe version of this album, we documented when I played the record. I played the track and my first verse, Ross recalled. I put in the PS3 behind the stage./p
pPlayed it, Jay listened to it, he continued. We played it, backed it up, played it again. Played it, backed it up, played it again. Backed it up, and he spit his verse. Its gonna be magic for people to see Jay do his Rain Man when hes rubbing his head, like he pulling his rhymes outta his mind. Just to see somebody come up with a verse that potent in less than two or three minutes … cause it was just a snippet. The beat may have played for a minute and a half and started over, a process Ross says was repeated a few times as Jay composed. He had his 16, an idea for the chorus. Trey Songz, all of us standing around in awe./p
p Rick Ross said Jay-z shocked a lot of people on how fast he came up with a verse ./p
pIts most definitely a surreal feeling, the Bawse added. Something thats real hard to describe. When you have that camaraderie with someone, and you all continue to raise the bar somewhat mdash; it blowed the whole room. Shout out to Jay-Z cohorts O.G. Juan, Tah Tah. One of the words I said in my verse, it triggered something in Jays mind. He had so many things to say about it. The content of the record, its gonna answer a lot of things thats been circulating. Its going to be moving./p
pThe Miami native said the song doesnt have a title yet because he wants to be very deliberate about naming what he thinks will be an atomic record ./p
pIts still untitled. I have two or three ideas. But you know, the chorus is so powerful. Its two or three words thats said, I just havent decided. But we took it to that next level./p
