Tag Of The Day! Rick Ro$$ ‘B.M.F.’
In the past four years Rick Ro$$ has risen from relative obscurity to become one of the biggest rap stars on the planet. The southern rapper has already scored four number one albums and is currently only being held off of the number one spot on the Billboard Chart by Eminem – one of the few hip hop artists who can rival RR in popularity.
The road, however, has certainly not been a smooth one for Rick Ro$$. A violent and shockingly personal beef with 50 Cent, that probably would have finished a lesser rapper, has pockmarked his career so far. Targets for 50’s disses have included Ro$$’s former life working as a prison officer, lack of employment in his early years and even his son – yet Ro$$ has remained one of the successful rappers in the game. A fact that’s made obvious due to the fleet of Maybach Mercedes Ro$$ can habitually be seen in.
His latest track doesn’t deter much from his persona of southern rap gangster. References to Mississippi crime boss Larry Hoover, Rolls Royces, $1,000,000 jewellery and cocaine feature throughout. It’s in no way shape or form groundbreaking but Rick’s skill with a metaphor gives the record a spark of originality. He even manages to make DIY seem threatening. “I’m self made, you just affiliate. I build the ground up. You bought it renovated.” ‘Blowing Money Fast’ is everything you’d expect from a gangster rap record and a bit more. Currently # 2 in the Shazam New Release Chart ,‘B.M.F. is sure to be one of the biggest hip hop tracks of the year.
