Rick Ross shows off his $750 Balmain quilted slides
Sixteen years ago, Rick Ross made his debut, and rap hasn’t been the same since. The era prior to Rick Ross, there were heavyset rappers who debuted. Each of them with a deep voice were compared to The Notorious B.I.G. Rick Ross fit that mold, initially.
Signed to Def Jam, no one saw Rick Ross becoming the star that he did. From 2006 until 2015, Rick Ross dropped an album nearly every year. During the height of that run, Ross bolstered the roster of his Maybach Music label. He had hits with Wale and Meek Mill, who had their own hits, as well.
Rick Ross proved to be his own man and the comparisons to Biggie soon went away. Ross further established himself when he took 50 Cent on. Seemingly randomly, Rick Ross dissed 50 Cent on “Mafia Music.” After 50 responded, Rick Ross enlisted all of his enemies on the remix. When Ross added The Game, Fat Joe, and even Ja Rule to the “Mafia Music” remix, it was clear he was different. Two years later, Rick Ross took over with his MMG label.
Through his career, Rick Ross has made himself the king of luxury rap. He is that way in real life, too, as Rick Ross is always showing off something expensive. This afternoon, Rick Ross was seen on video wearing $750 quilted Balmain slides.
