Rick Ross‘ transformation into one of Hip Hop’s heavyweights has not come without a few beefs, missteps, and controversies. The Florida “teflon don” is continuing to etch his name into the Rap books, even drawing some generous comparisons. This past January, Diddy compared Ross to the late B.I.G.
Speaking about Ross’ verse on the Dirty Money collaboration “Angels,” Diddy told Spliff TV, “Oh ya’ll ain’t hear the second verse? Yo, y’all gonna peep that when we world premiere that. I don’t know, I guess him and Biggie locked up in the room, even my man D Roc said that. For my man D Roc to say that and co-sign it like ‘Yo, my man right there sounding like our homie.’ That right there is something special…I don’t know what was going on in the studio, the spirits were connecting.”
While Diddy likens Ross’ skill to that of Biggie, others aren’t so quick to jump to that sentiment. Former Bad Boy artist Styles P said he believes similarities between the two rappers stop at the surface.
“I just think it’s because they’re big, they’re both dark skinned,” Styles P told Next 48 Hours. “But to me, no disrespect to Ross, but Big’s a one of a kind in the whole music industry. I don’t think no one is ever going to be compared to B.I.G. Ross is definitely a spitter, definitely ill. I think it comes from that, he’s got lyrics and he’s big and it’s been a long time since they had a big black dude that was lyrical so probably kinda automatic. Ross is in a class by himself and B.I.G.’s in a class by himself. I don’t see the comparisons besides just being big and lyrical.”
Finally, somebody with some sense. I get Diddy’s comparison, because all he’s trying to do is ride the wave. But in reality (which is a foreign word for Ross), there is no comparison.
nah u wrong ! there is a huge similarity between them : THEY BOTH FUCKIN LIARS ! they both lied about the so-called gangsta life they used to have when in facts one was a rich kid goin to a private school and the other was a former jail officer !
and i still dont understand how can people listen to their music and make an abstraction of their huge lies ! when i listen to someone’s music no matter the kind of music it is i want him to be true to his feelings and lyrics ! but in the rap game only a few people complete those features !
and yall givin credits and love to some guy like rick ross are actually praising fakenism than truth. happy bout that ?
and for the first time i have to say : I DO GIVE A FUCK about this situation
How the fuck you know that Big was a liar? He’s a helluva lot more real than Rawse, nigga. He was sellin rock on the streets before he made it in the biz, even Diddy tried to keep him away from that shit. How you gonna say Big and a former correctional officer is both liars like that? Fuckin faggot.
eat a dick you stupid hoe ! catching feelings like a pussy cause somebody diss his favorite rapper ! i hope your mascara is still on bitch cause obviously you cried behind your computer screen when you read my comment ! however BIG was a liar check your information before you get through all your mad feelings ! pussy nigga !
Anybody who names themselves “Anonymous” is the pussy azz nigga. Probably ducked off, locked in a closet scared to come out ole hoe azz fool!!! You’re the one crying and catching feelings. “I DO GIVE A FUCK about this situation.” You sound like a broad on her period, Bitch.
Anonymous, Biggie was not a rich kid. Fact: He is of Jamaican decent and anybody who knows West Indians they send their kids to Private schools so they can grow up with religion. His moms bust her arse to send him there, and that was only grammer school. So he was not a rich kid. Going to a private Catholic school in the hood doesn’t make you rich. I dont know anything about Ricky, but I did see his CO papers.
You got it twisted!!!
Nowhere in Diddy’s quote did he say that Ross was the next Biggie, or that he was as good as Biggie. All he said was on ONE verse on ONE song, that he channeled some similarities to Biggie…thats all. I ain’t on the Ross train, but stop trying to create beef at every stop. And stop with all the no one can be better than Big trash too. I bet they said the same shit about the following people at their respective careers:
Wilt Chamberlain < Jordan Jim Brown
FAIL.
Anonymous, fuckin kill yaself. Stupid fuck, comparing Biggies like to a CO. Fuckin clown.
The feces that were emptied from Biggies bowels when he died could outrap Rawse
co-sign
ROTFLMMFAO!!!!! ROTFLMMFAO!!! And you’re RIGHT!!!!
What a disgrace!!
Dont they have ears???
Finally someone said it and it was Styles who is one of my favorite rappers of all time. But he is being too generous because Rick Ross is not that good of a rapper lmao.
Oh yeah, by the way Diddy must be hitting that buttarock. What a dumbass. What kind of comparison is that? That’s like comparing a Ferrari to a bicycle.
no comparison at all! apart from that they fat.. banks bodied ross on officer down! LLOYD BANKS HFM2 NOV 23
your a faggot for promoting another rapper but yes, Banks absolutely killed Ross on that shit.
And you’re a faggot for tryin’ ta clown then agreeing. F*ckin’ tool.
Fuck that shit! My nigga Ross is this generations Biggie. Biggie my favorite rapper but the bawse is this generations biggie, anybody that say different just a hater. Even Diddy himself cosign that shit.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the absolute first time i ever heard someone say this. i wish i knew you, you probably like a real wierdo, no offense but no biggie fan i know likes ross, let alone b.i.g being their fav rapper
Kill yaself, cocksucka. U must actually be Ross leavin this comment, u fuckin clown.
Hey Balls Fuck you. Ross skills is better than most of these niggas out here. Granted, he ain’t as lyrical as Biggie but Ross got skills. You probably like someone like that crap Fat Joe, so fuck you you fucking hater.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ross is no generations Biggie. FOH!
Biggie was a brilliant rapper, creating great albums. Rick Ross is a boring rapper who creates inconsistent albums. As Styles says, if Rick Ross wasn’t overweight like Biggie was there would be no comparison.

it makes me sad to see people comparing rick ross to biggie. saying he is this generations biggie? his lyrics arnt even close to his either. the only similarity is being big. rip to the legend biggie smalls
Diddy makes me sick… he’s a horrible friend to big.. to say that Biggies spirit was reaching out to ross… I mean come on… what a scam…lol seriously tho…
Wait… I hear Biggie too!
What’s that Biggie? You say Puffy piggybacked off your death for financial gain? The last two albums were bullshit? Styles called this co lyrical?
Damn shame.
Ay dont get it twisted aint to many niggas thats nice on the mic like Ross. Biggie did his thing but now its 13 yrs later and a another generation of fans. On the real I would bang anything from Z-Ro or Trea as well as Ross. The dude is dope. To each his own.
Years do not deminish the skill of lyracism Biggie possesed and it doesn’t at the same time UNFORTURNATLY FOR RICK ROSS it doesn’t enhance Rick Ross skill level!
You guys kill me always talking about time and sales… Hip Hop is an ORGANIC Art It doesn’t need any of those things to thrive in greatness.
ROSS IS DOPE. BUT I AGREE WITH STYLES P ON THIS
Yo, is there reason y Styles P is co signing Rick Ross, sayin that he is Ill and got lyrics? I can’t understand how some real muhfuckas like Styles and Jadakiss can be down with a CO. Totally baffles me….
It’s because they’ve been real all this time and still ain’t seeing the type of money they want to see… It’s conditions of can’t beat em so join mentality!!! Kiss/Ghost should’ve been put out a whole album dissing the industry and bad boy but they won’t because they have submitted!!! Think about it?

Lol! Styes P sounds kinda of salty about those comparisons. I don’t blame him but whatever spirit Rick Ross got Diddy to summons has floated into Rozay, and it aint just the skin tone and weight! Lol Hip Hop is getting the life choked out of it… because real HIP HOP is getting suppressed and more of the same o’ demonic shit is getting PUSHED and PROMOTED!!! “A fool and money will soon part ways” that’s the problem with HIP HOP nowadays… Hip Hop isn’t being allowed to grow because we still talking about the late GREATS and comparing to todays artist and since people are buying in, Rick Ross former CO, SouljaBoy (cokehead), Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, and Piles *hip hop lames* are taking the life out of the music… we all LOVE!!! Let these lames get their shine but put out quality artist as well and see if these lames are still left standing!!!

i love incompetant, hating dick-riders like you. provides much needed comedy in the morning, and it makes me feel better to know that there’s people like you i have to compete with in the world. everything you just said is not relevant whatsoever and should be used in a logic class as an example of an argument with every fallacy possibly. dumb ass.
that nigga is a ross fan, lol and he pissed off.

nigga you clearly dont know shit about rap and you too goddamn stupid to fathom what jada & styles be spittin. i love how weak minded, moronic cunt niggaz like you plaster today’s mainstream rappers’ names like they gold, true hip-hop is no longer airing on radio or mtv or fuckin bet. you might as well be cheerin for soulja boy on 106th & park you fuckin faggot.
Rick Ross WISH he could be the lyracist Biggie was, those two names should NEVER be spoken the same sentence as a similar style of MC…
Puffy should be ashamed of himself fot letting that media inspired bullshit lie fall out of his mouth!
JUST LISTEN TO “NINO’S LIFE IS A MOVIE” MIXTAPE. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.

It is beyond rediculous that we are even having this conversation, but what is far more disgusting is that the convo was sparked by Sean Puffy Combs… Puffy is a sad and sick little fairy… And this should show the paying public just how LITTLE he thinks of us… Puffy really thought he could sell this to the public and he was going to run with it.
Puffy has been trying to use Biggie and his legacy the whole time… First he went and got Shyne who SOUNDS Like Biggie… Then on the Whooa Remix the Bad Boy Young Gunz he had a kid on there that sounded like Biggie and now this BS with Rick Ross!
It is sad and pathetic… Puffy is a USER who think the buying public are idiot sheeple…

it’s been 13 years since biggie passed on and it seems that all of the fame diddy has obtained from biggie’s death has clouded his vision. i bet you this nigga thanks GOD THAT BIGGIE’S DEAD. i wonder how long its been since he heard a biggie song to make such an atrocious comparison. diddy is an industry whore with no fuckin soul. rick ross is a nigga i consider to be mediocre. his name and biggie’s shouldnt even be uttered in the same sentence. there is no way rick ross is in the same league as biggie. fuck diddy. that nigga diddy oughta be lookin for another product to put his name on cuz that’s all he’s fuckin good at.
