En guise de biographie de Rick Ross, je citerai Gonzales :

The way I play piano, to be completely honest, is so oriented around writing for my technique, which creates a false virtuosity actually. It’s sort of the equivalent of an actor who’s always writing his own parts in his movies, like a Woody Allen, for example. Is Woody Allen a good actor? He’s not really acting. He’s writing. And he’s acting out his writing. And basically you get the same kind of feeling when you read someone’s autobiography, like a Klaus Kinski autobiography or a Harpo Marx autobiography. PT Barnum has an amazing biography. These guys are projecting, obviously. It’s not supposed to be true. It’s kind of like a rap version of the truth, the same way a rapper basically exaggerates and talks about how he’d like to be. Rick Ross—what’s great about Rick Ross is that he admits that he thinks he’s Big Meech. He doesn’t even say I feel like Big Meech, like rappers used to, or call me Big Meech. There’s a thousand things rappers could say, but no, Rick Ross is proud of his delusion. Because he says I think I’m Big Meech, Larry Hoover, etc, etc. And this is where rap is heading, this is why the prison guard Rick Ross beat the bully 50 Cent. Because we’ve changed eras now. Everything’s going more in this exaggerated, wonderful, living your autobiography way. It’s a short stretch from Woody Allen to Rick Ross, in my opinion. And I think I really occupy that middle ground between those two figures. I’ve staked it out, that’s my lane, it’s where I’m staying.

J’avais un autre choix pour le clip-hop de cette semaine : Becoming Real ft. Trim – Like me.

Mais je préfère Rick Ross, et c’était juste histoire de proposer une vidéo aussi glauque que le clip de la semaine chez Brain, à savoir Earl Sweatshirt d’Odd Future pour sa mixtape Earl (vraiment pas mal, dont mon morceau préféré est epaR ft. Vince Stapples).
