Let us know if we missed a song that should've made the cut, as you surely will. If you missed it, last week we tackled Young Thug (solo) records for a top 50. This is why a few of the cuts on this list will be pulled from that particular project. For the Carol City-bred rapper, his third mixtape was the ultimate moment in which he fastened himself into the personality we know today. Outfitted with a slew of bangers, all memorable in their own right, Rich Forever dishes out the best of both worlds for Rick Ross from his boasts of both luxury and the trenches. “Holy Ghost,” featuring Diddy, takes on the former as the Bugatti Boyz deliver on an outing that alludes to Ross’ Christian background in a storm of well-written double entendres and metaphors. "They say I'm gettin' money, must be Illuminati/Talking to the Holy Ghost, in my Bugatti/He knockin' on the do' don't let the Devil in/He knockin' on the do' don't let the Devil in,” Ricky lets off on the hook.Īt the time “Holy Ghost” was one of a few cuts that emerged from an era of Rozay/Puff collaborations, following 2009’s signing of Rick to Puff’s Ciroc Entertainment management company. What their collaborations often entailed was the aforementioned focus on the lavish way of life and Puffy’s signature rants of wisdom, and “Holy Ghost” doesn’t stray from that formula. No back story necessary, the title track from the best mixtape of Rick Ross’ career finds its home here.
Complete with a hook courtesy of John Legend, “Rich Forever” is the retrospective cut that finds Rick Ross examining just how far he’s come.
At this point, Rick Ross is six years in since his “Hustlin'” debut of 2006, and the come up is unreal. He’s already dropped four albums, with his debut Port of Miami securing its platinum status while he rides on the double-platinum success of the song “Aston Martin Music.” With accolades such as these only scratching the surface of his accomplishments up until that point, it’s clear to see where his inspiration found its root. "I remember bein' blind to it/'Til the day I put my mind to it/Pen and pad on the dresser for me to fine tune it/I sat in the corner, made up my mind, do it/Def Jam on my heels, should I sign to it?,” raps Ross. The Rich Forever mixtape served as a preview of the soon-to-follow God Forgives, I Don’t effort, the rapper’s fifth studio album which would go on to debut at No. "Maybach Music II" f/ Lil Wayne, Kanye West & T-Pain 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 and nab another gold plaque for the trophy case.Ģ3.
