Rick Ross became the latest new-school hip hop heavyweight to enter Dr Dre‘s studio earlier this week, when the two came together to collaborate on an as yet undisclosed project. It has not been announced whether the collaboration was for the long awaited Detox album or whether Dre was simply doing some work on Ross’ upcoming LP, God Forgives, I don’t. In any case, it appears the experience was once in a lifetime for Rozay, who came out to speak about it;“It was amazing, my brother,” said Ross. “We had the opportunity to just first and foremost touch base like bosses. We went out, we had dinner, we just discussed ideas and that led to the studio. The advice he gave me, it’s already affected the way I’ve been in the studio for the last week. So let’s just say he’s full of knowledge and he’s a solid guy. Most definitely that’s maybe my biggest hip hop influence in the game.”
“A lot of times when you sit back and you watchin’ greatness in motion, when I think back to [N.W.A’s] Straight Outta Compton or [Snoop Dogg‘s] Doggystyle and I think about the smallest things from the skits to the way the records ended to having the opportunity to ask him about certain things about those classic albums,” Rozay continued. “To just hear the time that was put into it, and the format, it was really priceless knowledge. For him to acknowledge Maybach Music and what I’m doin’ as an artist and a CEO, that was just real inspirational.”
The release of God Forgives, I Don’t was delayed last month due to Ross’ medical problems. We await a new release date.
