Rick Ross Quotes

I'm a fan of hip-hop. I'm a fan of rap, so anything new that's happening, I'm hip to it.

I'm probably going to be ashamed to say this... It was a Sir Mix-a-Lot album. I think I was 12, 13. I had just enough money for the 'My Posse's on Broadway' single, so I bought that single. That was the first thing I bought with my own money.

I was an MTV guy back in the day.

Bell Biv Devoe, back in the day, we used to look up to them. They had incredible style back then, so we wanted to be like them.

It's funny: I don't listen to too much rap. I don't listen to too much older hip-hop. If I do, it's Ja Rule.
