Two years ago, Rick Ross took a huge gamble when he decided to go against 50 Cent. After four years on the Miami underground, Ross emerged in 2006. Initially, Rick Ross was written off as a one hit wonder. But, when he returned in 2008, some began to take Ross seriously.

Despite receiving a bit of radio play, Rick Ross was still viewed by many as a regional rapper. This all changed when Rick Ross called out 50 Cent. For nearly all of 2009, Rick Ross and 50 Cent traded disses. Ironically, Rick Ross ended up the victor in the feud and it was 50 Cent who lost his fan base.

Moving on from the feud, Rick Ross has built his Maybach Music record label into a true force. In the early months of 2011, Rick Ross was the center of a bidding war, eventually won by Warner Bros. In recent months, Rick Ross can be heard on almost every song on the radio. One of the biggest stars in the game, Rick Ross is highly interested in working with Eminem and Dr. Dre.

Last year, Rick Ross reached out to Eminem for a collaboration. Now, the boss announced he would love to tour with the doctor. Both of these men were instrumental in 50 Cent becoming the artist he is.
