The Notorious B.I.G made the classic track "Your nobody until somebody kills you". Rick Ross, Diddy, and French Montona remakes it for Rick Ross new album, "Mastermind". In the beginning Diddy is yelling, "you dont want to embrace your destiny, you want to just get by". A nice message for those who don't feel they measure up to the vision they have for themselves or those that fostered them in some ways. Rick Ross hautingly comes close to not sounding like Biggie but invoking his spirit like a voodoo priest. This is now the hottest hip hop track this second. Ross spits, "having sushi down in noble, strapped like an Afghan soldier" there are many more quotable lines I just suggest you listen to it a few times. Ross did it on this one and I appreciate the cinematic approach. There is a visual vide that can be seen on youtube or worldstarhiphop. Watch it with the speakers turn all the way up and tell you don't smell and see March 1997. Mastermind is in stores and available digitally March 4th, 17 years after the release of the posthomous album, "Life After Death". Very nice way to pay homage because it's been a minute since a great track has payed proper homage to the legend.-thegqlife
