Rick Ross sits down with MTV to discuss the latest installment of his Maybach Music series; that featured Jadakiss, T.I. & Erykah Badu.
Erykah Badu
She never really collaborated with a lot of artists outside of Outkast. Maybe another artist or two, [like] the Roots. It was always conscious music she was making. You know, a gritty street artist — that’s always a plus when you get to work with somebody with the flowers around them and [they're] burning incense. And it’s positive.T.I.
I felt the time was right for me and T.I. [to work together]. We had never personally collaborated with each other on a record one on one. Early on in my career, I had said [negative] things when I didn’t know him. Just us being bosses and us being leaders and us being examples, we bossed up. We both did. He came from home doing what he did. I did my thing.Just on a mutual respect for each other, I reached out to him. When I got that verse back, I was like, ‘He meant that.’ We had been seeing each other over a period of time, saluting each other, bumping into each other, he knew I was a fan of his. We captured that moment in time which was one of the dopest records. And that meant the most to me. I used to play that T.I. verse in my studio, like, ‘This set the tone, right here. It set the tone.’ It just felt good for the homie to lace me. I salute Tip.
Jadakiss
Jada was always that New York underdog. That next lyricist. You could be the hottest at the time, but if you slippin’, Jada is one record away. He’s a cool dude, somebody I got a mutual respect and a friendship with.

Katie u have to ask ur self y are u feeling that negative emotion about some one who doesn,t even know you are alive? becuz trust me he dont care about your feeling thatz y hes featured on 2dope boyz and ur not. how about we focus on bringing our own life up insted of trying to convince others to hate another really.
I agree with 1977, all that negativity wont bring yourself further as a person. I don’t mean to preach or anything but if a artist does not have your musical preference you can debate why you don’t like their music with some good solid arguments. because you don’t know these people privately. Judge their music thats what the c-section is all about.
rawse was a fkin C.O. niggas like 1977 and Djurikson give these wack rappers a pass sorta like how wayne got away wit kissin his daddy
TIP dont want it. homie shook. aint no such things as half way crooks.
