Rick Ross continues the promo for his new album Hood Billionaire, which hit stores Monday, Nov. 24. He has been releasing a slew of music videos to keep the world squarly focused on his album and now made a stop in New York at the YouTube headquarters to talk with MTV News producer and radio host Sway Calloway and Rob Markman.
Joining the segment "Real Rap," Rick Ross fielded questions from pear-eating fans all around the world and discussed his album Hood Billionaire to his secrets to business success, and shared the backstories on some humorous moments captured in the career of MMG bawse Rick Rozay, via Hot New Hip Hop.
The most noteworthy moment of the Google Hangouts session was when Calloway asked Rozay about the sticky situation that arose when Timbaland leaked the early version of "Movin Bass." This became apparent when the project dropped and the version on the album, featuring Jay-Z was totally different and did not feature Tink.
"Timbaland released his version that I was real disappointed in hearing," Ross said. "Me and Jay created the original version. That's one of the records we vibed up when we had a couple sessions, you know what I mean? Of course Timbaland produced it and had the production on it for a little while and I went by the studio before and he played me the version and I was like I see what you did, but chill on that, we doin' our thing on it. I was disappointed in homie on that, that was a little ...," via MTV.
Markman clarifies that the original version was cooked up by Ross and Jay-Z, while Ross goes on to difuse the situation:
"We bigger than that. We bosses. And I expect homie to clarify that whenever he make his rounds. But most definitely me and Jay did that record and it is what it is."
Ross expects that he will be working together again with Timbaland, that there is too much love between, but that Timbaland needs to gets things cleaned up first.
"You know he gotta handle that, he gotta fix that, he most definitely gotta fix that," Ross said. "I ain't even gon' say work together again, he just gotta fix his problem."
