Rick Ross says that although the majority of fans and spectators are scoring the recent feud between Drake and Meek Mill in Drake’s favor, perception isn’t always everything.
During a recent conversation with Angie Martinez, Ross compared the feud to his own rift with 50 Cent and explained how such a situation enriched him as an artist.
“Perception isn’t always what it is,” the MMG frontman says. “I was perceived once to be losing to an artist or in a battle [and] I tripled my worth in less than 12 months. So when you a person in my position and with my experience, it’s a lot of good things that can come from this… Meek not in trouble at all.
“When I got in different things, said different things, there was people that criticized me [like], ‘Nah, we ain’t with that no more’ and as soon as I came back with ‘MC Hammer’ they was buying VIP tickets, then paying for the pictures,” Rick Ross adds. “[The] perception was [that I wasn’t gonna bounce back from that] and now we got 100-room mansions. The advice I share with Meek is, ‘Make music, and move when you ready to move. We don’t move for nobody else. We move when we ready to move.’”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Rick Ross weighed in on 50 Cent’s recent chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
“He did it for fun? You think Jay Z would have filed bankruptcy? You think Puff Daddy would have filed bankruptcy to not pay somebody?” Rick Ross asks Angie Martinez who says that she doesn’t believe 50 Cent is broke. “Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and now you bankrupt. You could come back here tomorrow and explain it and say ‘I’m doing this, I’m doing that.’ Stop! There’s holes in your roof, fam. Keep it real.”

“[The] perception was [that I wasn’t gonna bounce back from that] and now we got 100-room mansions. The advice I share with Meek is, ‘Make music, and move when you ready to move. We don’t move for nobody else. We move when we ready to move.’” Exactly. People doubted against ross before and suceeds every time.

F*CK Maycock Music & this BUFFOON! GTFOH………………….
Cop
It’s too late for another diss track. If he couldn’t respond in a week or less, then he ain’t worthy of a reply from Drake. Meek lost that rap battle plain and simple. Ross talking that move when we wanna move crap trying to excuse Meek’s slow learners reply speed lol.
I love how when Meek was chirping on Twitter like a school girl, people wanted Drake to go at him. They didn’t think that he would because Meek is known for his battle rap past. What many people fail to realize is that Drake used to battle in Toronto, he even used to drive down to the D and appear at Andrew’s. Elzhi, Trick Trick and dem boys knew that Drake was serious about this rap shit years before he blew. Back to back was this generation’s ether or no vasoline. There is no coming back from that. Drake might sing, but he can spit bars with the best of them when he wants too. Drake’s a legend in this hip-hop shit, Meek has no memorable songs. Meanwhile Drake has one of the best discographies in the history of hip-hop and the accolades to match. Views from the 6ix will be another classic.
Saint Andrews was popping around 95 through 97. Drake was born in 86. He would of had to had been 11 years old to had been there. So that’s a freakin lie.
How cute, you watched the movie 8 mile and think you know shit. Drake was in the D frequently between 2004-2006. He’s one of the few rappers outside of Detroit who has done tracks with Elzhi and Eminem, why do you think that is? Both those track dropped before his first official record.
I’m from Detroit, born and raised. I was always at the Real hiphop shop on 7 mile where they use to always battle. Me and the God’s where always at the Shelter (St Andrews) as well. Lets not mention Ebony showcase Lounge. Drake ain’t Eva come to them spots. Nigga my roots run deep check yo self B.
Anyway get off Detroit and Drake nuts. You going off something you read online yo. I only knew of one song he did with Elzhi, which was probably done in N.Carolina (phonte 9th wonder)!!!! Nig I’m Detroit all day 6mile fa life. Fuk the movie 8mile.
Don Lemon talkin cash.
As long as he keeps 50 down, he stays up
