Damn Luda lmaoo

People thought that line was 🧢 lol

I can’t lie whenever Ross talked about ghostwriting I thought he was kinda exaggerating what he may have done for people like Puff but lemme find out that nigga wrote early 2000’s classics lmao

Rick Ross finally been getting the respect he deserves lately 🙏🏽

Although that coulda been for Trina

need to read his book all the stories we know from it are interesting af

It's pretty known that Rick Ross used to write for Trina

Since 2000, Rick Ross has been a behind-the-scenes power player in Miami’s music scene, ghostwriting songs for—or, as he and his record company put it, “helping out”—artists such as Trina and Trick Daddy. (Word has it he’s lent a hand to New York radio personality Angie Martinez, too.)

“He definitely did some things for Trina,” says Ted Lucas, the CEO of Ross’ label, Slip-N-Slide Records. “Some songs that she wasn’t able to come up with it on or whatever, and he just had a great idea. He just told her which direction to go in.”

“I always help her with songs,” says Ross of Trina. “I love to see her touring and on the road. So if I come up with a idea right now, I may just call and give it to her, tell her to go to the studio and do whatever she gotta do.”

XXL, 2006

Also got "Real Hard" in 2009 which was a reference for her

I knew that ye and Ross knew each other since the beginning but dope to reread a fleshed our story

Haven’t seen this in a min

Probably someone associated with Jay bc they were always super close too

A Ross and Ye album in 03 would have potentially changed how fast Ross blew

Ross was so boring lyrically until DTR tho

all of last call too?

This

The other rumored name from that period is Diddy but idk if Ross has ever publicly mentioned that

There’s Ross in 2000 on a Trina song

But his first s*** came out in like 2006

What was he doing in that gap?? 🤔🤔

That new s*** he dropped is just straight poetry y’all kinda slept

codes itt

Arguable but still

Who knows even what his style woulda been like back then

meg

I’ve been saying for years one day people gonna find out Rick Ross has wrote for damn near every major artist in rap and nothing will be the same

It was the way he used his voice not the lyrics

Once he stopped imitating Jeezy with that double voice effect thing he really started flourishing

That was around DTR era

Noticed that too

Like delivery wise he changed a lot between 06-09
