Rick Ross Describes Kanye’s Studio Sessions

Wednesday, July 28 2010 11:52 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

During Rick Ross’ interview on MTV’s RapFix Live, the Teflon Don describes a Kanye studio session as another making of The Chronic. Sounds high powered.

“I was just like, Wow. I listened to [Kanye's] beats, and we working on what I’m doing, but then he’s in another room cooking up something … and just the intensity that you have to have to create albums that are gonna stand the test of time for years. He’s such a great producer himself, and to have a Pete Rock over your shoulder just working on a particular sound and DJ Toomp, No ID, and Nicki Minaj, I see what’s going on. It’s The Chronic all over. That’s exactly what I said when I walked into the room: This is The Chronic, this is how it had to be.”

Rap-Up caught a radio rip of Usher’s new tune from his Versus EP. Polow Da Don’s on the beat and it features Ester Dean instead of Ciara. On another note, Jay-Z and Ush’s chemistry is better this time around too. Anything tops this.
