New Music: Rick Ross x Kanye West “Live Fast, Die Young”
Thursday, July 01 2010 1:30 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Music
Here’s what Ricky and Yeezy have been brewing in the lab. Off Rozay’s Teflon Don. Be sure to leave a good lookin’ corpse.
Sidebar: Ross and West in the studio.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
What we talkin bout?! Lol actually excited about these guys’ albums. Let’s go Hip-Hop
#No Hate , This Track Is Average, I Was Expecting Something Epic With Those 2 On The Same Track.

This Is Music
Yeah Can Go Ahead A Sneeze Because My Presence Blessed You – Kanye West (Yh Ignorant Rap Is Back )
not mad.
It’s dope but I did expect better my dudes.
Ye produced this right??? At the end of the track it sound like it about to segue into Drake “Show me a good time” lol
dammmn ye killin this rap shit lately!
It’s good, not special…
and i don’t wanna be a hater…
but Rick ross doing that “uhhhhhh” sound it’s annoying…
for real…
LISTENING WITH NO HATE……….RICK ROSS CAN’T RAP
IF DO THAT “UGHH” SHIT, SO DISRESPECTFUL
KANYE GOT THE OLD DR. DRE SOUND KIT, HE PUNCHING IN SOME OF THE OLD DRE SHIT.
THE SONG SUCKS IT SOUNDS A LITTLE OFF
DO YOUR HOMEWORK HIP-HOPPERS!!!!!!!
I expected a club banger but instead we got an upbeat track…It’ll grow on me.
Where’s the CDQ?
Can’t wait for both albums…this shit is serious
Nice track I digs
RICKY ROSS IS GARBAGE! BUT KANYE IS FUCKING G.O.O.D!
HATE ME NOW!
What is it with this black inspirational shit? Turned to drug dealer nonsense? I can’t stand what Rick Ross is doing nor that kAnye is making music with him. Can someone splice just the yeezy verse so we can hear what good rap sounds like? rosses corny raps about pirates and rockin a house like a boat when he goes left step right step cuz he is so fat doesnt really do it for me.. and never has.. get rid of this cancer
WHAT A LET DOWN I THOUGHT IT WOULD OF BEEN BETTER
BEAT IS LIKE AN EARLY KANYE JOINT I FUCKS WITH IT . .
BETTER THAN I EXPECTED, BUT REGARDLESS, OFFICER RICKY STILL CAN’T RAP TO SAVE HIS LIFE!!!! ‘YE KILLED IT AS USUAL.
BAWSE SHOULD RETIRE BEFORE HIS CHUBBY ASS GET SWALLOWED.
some of yall lyin cause this shit dope. perfect timing for the summer perfect time for this record. peace up!
Beat’s hot, Ricky’s not, Kanye on SPOT
Yeezy kills, easy.
WTF @ the drums on this track!!! Them soft, girlie, southern 808 bullshit drums over a sample???? Emphatic NO!!! These drums completely ruin this track, considering the horns are dope as hell, and Ye killed it
SO ICY CLOW FUCKS WITH GUCCI AND WACKA AND HE’S WRITING MUSIC REVIEWS!
HATE ME NOW!
ross killed the 2nd verse.yeezy went all in.good shit
ye iz back to 2004-2005 ye classic joint
“look at Haiti children dying round the clock, would send a 100 grand but thats a decent watch”
is no one hearing this shit? this is a fuck outta here and c’mon son at once.
fuck ross. mufuckas sayin music is just entertainment, go kill ya selves. music is art and life, big and pac died for this shit and now we have stupid fucks sayin its ok to be fake? and then this actor fucker just goes and spits on haiti like that? Immortal Technique needs to go kill that fat fuck
This is an epic track. Kanye’s verse was classic. Tony Williams killed that hook. #GOODMusic
You know what I guess most of expected a club banger like Monster but instead we get a track that’s more upbeat. I can see why Ross wanted Spike Lee to direct the video after listening to the song a few times.
@lup
I think you missed the entire point of that line.
Ye Killed it but the drums are annoying IMO. Kanyeezy, stop doing tracks with Ross please
LOL this nigga said Pac and Biggie died for music, music ain’t kill them niggas, shut the fuck up lol
I LOVE THIS TRACK, AND I LOVE RICK ROSS :D
He’s definitely one of my favorite emcees right now along wit Kanye, can’t wait for the album, why y’all get so damn madd for, relax and breathe. Its just entertainment and good music,
LUDA WOULD’VE KILLED THIS SHIT! YE SHOULD’VE GAVE THIS TO HIM FOR LUDAVERAL
the song is ok……it wasnt kanyes best verse…..but hey why would he put a nice verse on a trashy rick ross album, save that good verse for his album or jay, aubrey,EM, and etc
This wasn’t good at all
@lup and @sideshowRaheem
see, that’s how rumors start. somebody (lup) take something that somebody (rozay) said, add somethin to it/take somethin away from it/change it up ever so subtly, speak on it, sent it out, call about it, email it, twitter it, facebook it……itsawrap as we know it.
dude (rozay) said:
““look at Haiti children dying round the clock, ninja…… I SENT A 100 GRAND but thats a decent watch, ninja”
you (lup) said he (rozay) said:
“look at Haiti children dying round the clock, would send a 100 grand but thats a decent watch”
so @sideshowRaheem, not only did he miss the point of the line, HE MISSED THE LINE!!! so how could he get it?!?
smh……………..
@lup
I’m with you 100% on this, and the point wasn’t lost on me. That line is one of the most fucked up, ignorant, selfish, disrespectful things I’ve ever heard in a song. I’ve known Ross is garbage and I only checked this track because Yeeze was on it (lazy-ass verse) – but damn… how fucking stupid can this guy be. And anyone giving him an ounce of respect for what he said needs to check themselves.
this is a good upbeat song, i like it!
HATE ON ME HATERS!
@instigator
Even if that’s how the line was wrote and intended, it is just as disrespectful. You do see that right?
I hate when when Kanye drags his words out like “jeeeeeeeeeeewler” but overall I actually like Kanyes verse, I like the production. Not a fan of the hook.
Its ok, but i’m starting to think…
Deeper Than Rap > Teflon Don (So Far)
Deeper Than Rap is still my shit right now.
Probably will Grow On Me The Drums Make Me Hate It !
I was expecting something more epic. I’m a big Ye fan not so much Ross but it wasn’t a bad track, Average and fits William’s bill.
@lup
You got the whole line wrong bruh bruh and took it out of context but besides that the track is fire! Ross did his thing but Yeezy sounds hungry right now
Fix your ears people.This is not that good.Kanye merks it,track is fire,Ross just sounds the same,GARBAGE!!!
GO BUY POWER ON ITUNES!!!
@funcrusher,
the line right b4 the one in question says it all. thats where the point lies. see, i can tell that your (pre) hate for ricky is blinding you, and if a cat is blind then how can he be made to see?!?
but i will try:
the point being that cats aint doing right with they life and all that comes with it…..they are living “fast” and dying “young”. the dilemma that fast livin wealthy cats face constantly,such as situations like “should if donate to the haitians……or cop this fresh watch?…hmm…..decisions, decisions…….imma donate……but damn imma miss coppin the watch……oh well…”
that thats even a dilemma for some ppl, is telling. nevertheless, thats how it is, you can ask giz. if it wasnt that way and cats dont be thinkin like that, he woulda never even thought of that. but as i said…thats how it is, you can ask giz.
i hope you got it now.
@instigator
holy shit that is a terrible rebuttal. Your own comments point out exactly what’s wrong with the line.
quoting you: “should i donate to the haitians……or cop this fresh watch?…hmm…..decisions, decisions”. You can’t seriously think weighing those 2 options out as if they are comparable, is a reasonable line for the premise of the song. The concept of “live fast, die young” is nothing new (it’s actually cliche as hell), but dude turns it in to something else when he debates whether he should buy a watch, or help out thousands of suffering people with is money.
It’s that moment in the song where the shit goes off the tracks. Even if he did donate to Haiti, the fact that he weight it against buying a fucking watch is beyond disrespectful. It’s not a legitimate dilemma, it is an ignorant one.
First i wanna shout out everybody that’s feeling this track n its ok if u like it but on some real shit this track is straight dudu i thought ye was back wtf ?
@ the instigator…Funcrusher sonned you decent and he is right. When I listened to and thats the only line that stood out and I was like WTF!? Was he serious? A watch and a whole country in despair?
