The viral question continues to take its course: $500K or dinner with Jay-Z?
Most recently, Rick Ross weighs in on the conversation. The “Hustlin’” rapper recently went on his Instagram page to share his thoughts on the matter, particularly siding why dinner with Jay-Z was much more valuable. In fact, he reels in a real-life experience dating back to when he went to lunch with Hov back in the day.
Rick Ross states, “I’ma take the dinner and I’ma tell you why. In ’08 when I turned in my second album [Trilla], I had a meeting with Hov. We went to lunch. Philippe Chow, Manhattan. The orange chicken on the stick with the peanut sauce was the vibe at the time. Let me cut through all the conversation.”
Apparently, Jay Z gave him a piece of advice that resulted in Rick Ross’ career skyrocketing.
“He said, ‘Rozay, versus writing to every beat you like, write to every record you could make work.’ He told me a quick story about ‘Big Pimpin.’ I said, ‘Okay bet.’ So I went from writing one record to every 80 beats I like, to writing 40 records out of every 80 beats I could make work.”
This pivot allowed Rick Ross to level up as both a writer and recording artist. He concludes, “The amount of work I was putting out was next level. So you gotta ask yourself, are you ready to digest the knowledge or you just want to look at this watch at the table?”
While not everyone will be pursuing a music career, Jay-Z is also a billionaire with endless thriving businesses. A convo with Jay-Z might just be the move!
