Platz 4:
Rick Ross - "Dead Rappers"
Man streiche das letzte Drittel vom "Black Market"-Studioalbum und tausche es gegen den mächtigen Mixtape-Killertrack "Dead Rappers". Die Rozzay-Chants im Hook. Das Thema Ross ist der Boss und sieht sich stellvertretend für eine ganze Rap-Generation und ihrem Wirken in Amerika. Er nimmt Bezug auf seine Beef-Geschichten, und natürlich verquickt er das kongenial mit einen Shoutout für die toten Kollegen: "Book me for the show and I'll be on the next jet / Thirty sticks with me, I be getting death threats / Dead rappers be the ones they love to glorify / All these weird niggas, I've been labeled borderline / It's more to mine, my flow should have a clothing line / Lacoste made for a boss, the label's organized / If they're making a dollar, my team would want a piece / From the taxis and Ubers, the vendors in the streets / Bandanas and rags, wave them for Soulja Slim / Homie did thirty and his family, no one came to see him / Headphones on, songs about a dead rapper / Lil Snupe's in my prayers, I still can hear him laughing / Lost Boyz, Freaky Tah … we were four deep / Mac Dre, Slim Dunkin, and peace to Doe B / Peanut, 'til I see you, boy I won't sleep / Jam Master Jay one day I'm gon' meet."
