As Miami’s Rick Ross finalizes his forthcoming album, God Forgives, I Don’t, other acts are singing their praises of what’s to come. Recently, Drake and DJ Khaled spoke with MTV about Ross’ upcoming disc, both saying that the album will be one to remember.
“That God Forgives, I Don’t; the only way I can describe it is like Doggystyleor Ready to Die or Clipse Lord Willin’ or any of the albums that I collected and held on to as a kid — whether it was cassette or CD,” Drake noted in the interview with MTV.
Drake was not alone. Ross’ affiliate, DJ Khaled, also spoke about the album. He likened it to various classics as well.
“God Forgives, I Don’t is a classic-in-the-making,” Khaled noted. “Let me tell you something right now: This album is so crazy from the beginning of what I’ve been in the studio hearing already,” he said. “I can’t give you too much because I’m going to let him do that, because that’s his project, but I could tell you right now it’s classic and he is talking that talk.”
Understanding the praise he was given, Ross returned the compliments when speaking about Drake’s upcoming album, Take Care.
“I feel extremely grateful to hear a bulk of Take Care. Just to hear this man’s tone of voice and the shit that he’s saying is just so visual,” he explained. “If you’re a true Drake fan — if you love his first album, this one right here, this shit is uncut.”
Drake, Rick Ross and DJ Khaled have had a working relationship for quite some time and have recently collaborated on DJ Khaled’s “I’m On One.” This is also not the first time Khaled has labeled Ross’ album a classic in the making.

the fact that Drakes enlists Lord Willin shows me that it won’t be a classic
u aint dig dat? lol i aint neva heard it entirely but most say its a classic
this might be the first ross album i would buy you awlready know the beats gone be sick
trust me its gonna be the same album as Thrilla, Deeper than Rap, Teflon Don. It’s not gonna change i just say buy one of those cuz that’s how the next one is gonna be
what are you talking bout i didnt buy or hear none of those cd’s ASHES TO ASHES put me on ross and that shit is fire still
that’s why I said buy one of those albums or download em cuz its the same concept everytime. His next album will be great with alot features cuz Ross cannot hold his own in a track
im sorry dude but i dont take rap that serious
like i said i got on dude off that mixtape not those albums
plus i buy what fuck i want im buying C4 today and i got the bootleg
yo none of ross albums sound the same yall crazy listen to all his albums he keeps getting better
They say this every year, and time and time again its the same album. Ross does the same thing have amazing beats but have alot of features that kills him on those beats.
Drake will never l;ive up to his hype. Thank Me Later was an awful debut album. N I really don’t think he’ll be albe to recapture the So Far Gone momentum. so Take Care will probably stay the same.
N DJ KHALED SHOULD STFU n GTFO out of rap he’s definitively a waste of sperm lmao
ross may hv alot of da same subject matter,i’ll give u dat but his albums as a whole r betta than most folks n any genre,nt 2 many make “full” cd’s anymore & drake can definitely rap betta than folks give him credit 4 but niggaz gotta b mainstream 2 b worldwide & get big paper plus we u n “da society” u do as dey say!
The Carter IV is a classic. Its the new standard in hip hop
Just no, c’mon man, really?
my girl wasted her money on the carterIV yesterday,we bumped it for a bit , i liked one track.. the album sux,.she wasnt feeling it either and asked me why every song has the same lyrics.??then told me to put in Watch the Throne., then i got mines..
^^^
HAHAHA
even Lil Wayne dont agree with you though. even he said the beats were trash, LOL
dont lie baby, it was you that wasted your money on the carter iv yesterday
and if you got some but it wasnt from me, maybe your hand
Ross has been dropping nice music of late, Albert Anastasia, Teflon Don & Ashes To Ashes were all stellar projects, cudos to him for turning his shit hole of a music career around, classic is probably beyond him because he ain’t talk about much but I will certainly be listening out for his next LP.
the game so fucked up… you put Lord Willin next to Ready to Die… thats so fucked up lol
Hate on the man , but Ross has an ear for music. and releases quality hip hop.
Why does rick ross get so much praise, he’s a pop rapper with no lyrics. How dare you compare his album to ready to die or doggystyle give me a fuckin break man. These idiots are killin hip hop. want real lyricism listen to crooked i, gza, canibus to name but a few real rappers who dont get the credit they deserve
Ross makes dope music and has the best delivery in rap

Ross shit gon flop again, just like the other albums did. I bet Drake won’t even go Gold this time around. Fuck Ross, Drake , YMCMB, dj Khaled. bunch of wack rappers who killed the rap game
I would actually put Clispe Hell Hath No Fury on that list and mos def put Kendrick Lamar Section 80 on their there has been some slept on classics like those

…Those are CLASSICS…
It will be far better than the RED album which was labeled a classic by a lot of fucking morons on this site so I guess it will be a classic.
R.E.D. was the hottest shit of the year, however I dont think you can call it a classic…I’m bumping “Be” right now, that is where the bar is set for all classics of the new millenium
khaled uses the world classic is lightly…he called ross last three albums classics, his albums classic, even ace hoods! lol
as far as drake, what does a canadian teen actor know about hip hop classics???
I can think of a few Canadian teens who probably know more than Drake.
Like layzie bone said “niggas kissing ass juss to ride in da game” dats wat dey basically are doing.Dey praise one another saying bullshit ass lies.first off all drake sucks and khaled is on rick ross nuts.he’ll call anythiong associated and affiliated with him a classic.Drake is not nice at all either he can say anything and people would qoute him.idk why
I beleive them.
PRE-SURE the only reason drake even mess with officer ricky is because it’s his only connection to the “streets”… since wayne has become almost irrelevant..
It doesent mean a whole lot coming from these two… How about you get someone who actually has a classic alum under their belt to co-sign and maybe ill consider it.
AMEN
These three are killing rap. smh. no lyrics, no depth, no value, no truth, just lies and bs do not equal a classic.
you’re a retard
its the truth
MEHHHH. I don’t know about this one. – Malik Ferraud
This is just publicity for the album… Drake knows that he has his fans by the balls and if he says something is hot then all his fans will say, “If Drake says its hot it must be true.”… He prolly got paid to say this shit
Im not a fan of Ross but his last albulm, the only one I listened to wasn’t garbage. He had some decent tracks, but Ross of all rappers, i dnt think cud ever put out a classic..As far as u Drake h8ers, Thank me Later was damn near a classic wen it came out. He had a balance of “pop” records, hard songs and some hip-hop songs. Maybe not a classic but it was close
I agree
you were feeling thank me latre more than teflon don? You a fool, drake is a pussy bitch and he dont rep T.O.
im not comparing the two cd’s jus saying Drake nearly dropped a classic but if u think being a C.O turned “Big Gangsta Rapper” is less of a pussy than being an actor turned mainstream rapper den dats u
drake is a big dickrider, have you ever heard this guy say anything negative about anyone? he praises anyone he works with and gets all lovey dovey cause he soft
I DON’T CARE HOW GOOD THIS ALBUM IS…………….THIS NIGGA WAS A C.O
so f****** what he had a job, most of ya’ll non working idiots dont have one. Being a c.o. dont mean anything other than he had a damn job. Im tired of hearing bitch ass dudes keep saying hes a c.o. like every artist has to be a gangster.
Daaaamn boy, you right !!!
Ayo yall mofukerz take a look at what he said, he’s an example for yall bitches ridin ross’ dick
@ OWEN THE CLOWN.
Ross acted like he wasn’t a CO. He tired denying it, like a pu$$y.
watch this interview
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovn8KW4qhZg
nigga is sweating like a hooker in church
You fucking right !!!
There’s a difference between being a c.o. and working at best buy
this nigga lied about his past, that should be enough right there to tell you that being a c.o. aint just another job, if it was he would have admitted that shit
honestly a person aint a dick rider jus cuz dey like sumthn & nt a hata cuz dey dnt,but ross last 3 albums hv been damn gud by any measure any music,nt 2 many artist n any genre hv 3 in a row daz classic or close 2 it,quit hatin fans cuz y’all gon end up wit mo of da “so-called” hip hop y’all dnt wanna hear
You need speak and spell or some shit like that.
I am not a fan of your spelling…
damn homie please go back to school, no one understands what your are trying to say
I got a jest of what you’re saying…hate isn’t hate and love isn’t dickriding…that’s it…man
123 abdc
Teflon Don was a certified classic, yall can talk shit about Rozay as much as you want, but the nigga makes good music. I hope to see more Kanye production on this album, they a deadly combo
do you even kno wat a classic is? im pretty sure dat album wont even be recognized or remembered 3 years from now and ross will be forgotten in 10 years.stop dick sucking
They didn’t mention DJ Khaled next classic album…
cause he the best
lmao
drop take care already
naw dont even bother with that soft ass bullshit
lmao @ naw dont even bother with that soft ass bullshit
cool story
lmao @ naw dont even bother with that soft ass bullshit
they said the same thing about Teflon Don…smh
If that CO shit never came out y’all wud be saying dude is a beast on the mic. his albums keep getting better and better. his delivery is flawless. Ross is the shit
What does DJ Khaled know aobut classics smh, clearly wont be, thought Drake would be smarter to say that. I’d expect a stupid ass comment from Khaled
Fucking Drake is HOT! I wonder how big his ding-a-ling is, I would love to mount it & rub his jewy balls, so glad we have our spokesman, Gay Power!!!
why dont anyone ever say SCARFACE when it comes to a classic album(the fix)
cry bout it
shutup. maybe cuz Dirtysouth ruined rap. do i gotta remind you of Soulja toy and Lil Jon. the south is like Billy Ray Cyrus. Rap fans dont like to talk about them like country doesnt talk about Cyrus now not all south is bad. Ye is from the south and hes ill and B.o.B hell even Ludacris but cmon. Mid-West OWNS rap
ye is from southside CHICAGO..not the dirty dirty
who s DRAKE and KHALED to call something CLASSIC along the lines of HIP HOP?
Both of them didn’t drop a CLASSIC in the era of CLASSICS (90’s)
Nor drop a classic in the 2000’d
Drake got talent im not going to hate. Im not a fan of his but i recognize his skill. So don’t pass me as a hater. But Thank Me Later isn’t a green pass for this dude to consider something classic. Hes hyping something up before its even set in stone, Therefore a domino effect happens where people’s taste in music disappears and a fucking taste for gossip takes over the ear. screw that shit. And im not even gonna go in on Khaled. This guy hasnt done anything but yell and get fatter. Anyways. Funny.. no one in the 90s ever called their albums classic before, during, or after the release. If Anyone that dropped between 79-98 calls this classic. then lets consider it. then Rick Ross in the future gets a say and a little opinion on what may be a classic.. thats how shit is passed down in the HIP HOP I FELL IN LOVE WITH. And don’t call me an old school hater because im only 13. And my adventure in life is to find classics through all the crap they give us in the radio. HIP HOP 4 LIFE!
p.s. wikipedia got better knowledge about hip hop than this site
yo my name is tim too.
Rozay makes good music I could care less about him being employed as a C.O. because he was 19 at the time and he only did it for a year.
…however if I was a white kid from the suburbs trying to live my fantasy through a rappers lyrics then I would have a problem with his past employment.
Ross has you fooled, thinking he’s pushing pounds of that white girl.
You all are ridiculous. Ross drops good music period. How many rappers really do the thug shit anyhow? Pac, T.I., DMX dudes like that are the ones who I have seen consistently fuck up with the law, and everytime out they say they’re sorry and that being a thug isn’t the life that it’s made out to be. All of yall are internet gang bangers any how. I ain’t a gangster at all never claimed to be. Being a thug and getting arrested is great right? I don’t need to break the law to keep it fucking real. Stop hating on Ross man he was a fucking C.O. big deal. He wasn’t a child molester or priest. He had a job. Made fucking famous people used to flip burgers not birds.
You are ridiculous.
Track one-in the hood featuring Dj Khaled.
track two-Wayne’s penis Featuing Drake.
nah on the real. i like Ross. hes a good rapper. not great. good. i will buy this CD and if its a clssic ill buy the deluxe. if not. fuck it.
how tf do drake & especialy dj khaled have the credibility to say whether something is a gonna be a classic or not & before it drops smh
I’m not hating, but classic is not a word I can associate with Rick Ross.
Ross certainly does “talk the talk” so Khaled’s on point there lol.
