I'm finally convinced that Rick AKA Ricky Ross is the biggest boss that I've seen thus far. After he took his shirt off during his set at Nosturi last sunday, there was no question who was da bo$$ of the hip hop game 2008. I mean the dreadlocked sidekick was all pumped up, tattooed and cool in every aspect, but Rick put him deep into shadow, both in looks and style.
The whole set was pretty daymn good, from my new favourite "Speeding" to the obvious hustling anthem "Hustlin" (!). And to top it all he also performed "Cross that line" that is by far the best cheesy anthem there is. Not that many rappers actually sound that big on stage.

yeah, on stage this dude was respectable in size, sound and energy. and he has the hits to back it all up. all in all, a great show.
plus i got to meet (& interview) him backstage. i'll tell you, i ain't felt so small many times in my life, like sitting next to topless Ricky Ross, who's quoting "Scarface" lines. the boss was actually really humble and nice, for a boss that caliber.
and you shoulda seen all that grilled chicken, weed and Hennessy they had backstage.
BTW: that's one DAMN NYCE photo. is it yours, Hennyman? if so.... BIG UP!
Sorry to say, it's not my pic. That pic is from Stockholm a few days before the Helsinki gig. I think it's a great photo as well, so I had to steal it :-)

Sorry for the double post, the shitstem is confusing me
uh huh, i kinda thought it must be from the Nosturi gig, cos Rick and the dj were wearing the same stuff (well, rick's not wearing so much...) and the stage looks even really similar. but, yeah that photo looks really quite pro.
but you can never know with these insanely sharp camera phones of today...
ha, I am going to test my thought, your post bring me some good ideas, it's really amazing, thanks.
