Posted by Mr.North under interview , new music , videos[74] Comments
Hip-hop royalty comes together as Rick Ross orchestrates the meeting of legends on “3 Kings,” the Jake One-produced collaboration off God Forgives, I Don’t due July 31. As the Seattle-based veteran producer crafts the sounds, Rozay’s new close friend Dr. Dre, and Jay-Z play co-star on the much-anticipated song off Ross’ fifth solo album. No one better to premiere this rap masterpiece than Hot 97′s own Funkmaster Flex.
Stream “3 Kings,” read the lyrics, and Rick Ross speaks with MTV News on assembling Dr. Dre and Jay-Z on the song….

Rick Ross Feat. Dr. Dre & Jay-Z – “3 Kings” (Lyrics):
[Intro: Dr. Dre]
Yeah, classic hip hop shit
Dr. D-R-E
Rozay and Jay, let’s get ‘em[Verse 1: Dr. Dre]
We started out moppin’ floors
And now we front row at the awards
Number one for the last twenty years
If you real, mothafucka scream cheers!
Mothafucka scream cheers!
Heh, and it is what it is
He wanted to shine at the swap meet
Til them white boys got him in that hot seat
Only love it when her hair long
You should listen to this beat through my headphones
Money long, number one twenty years strong
Fuck a gym, I am him, I’m Dre young
G5s to 64s, Dre got ‘em
If the bitch bad I got her in red bottoms
Great weed, nice homes, bread proper
Tech nine, one chamber, top shotta
Bently coupe, new yacht,my helicopter
Born broke, real nigga straight out of Compton
The fuck you magazine niggas want from me?
I rewrote the game, nigga, now talk money
All black on my Al Capone shit
I built a house, nigga get your own shit
I only love it when her hair long
You should listen to this beat through my headphones[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
See y’all niggas
Hit the switches on that shit one time, ugh
Let the top down
I came a long way from the weed game
Twenty stack seats at the Heat game
And I’m still strapped with the heat man
And we steppin’ on a nigga feet man
80 pair of sneakers came from the D game
Cousin was a Crip, said it was a Z thing
Brown bag money in a duffle bag
Fuck ‘em all, wet ‘em and we gotta double back
The homie whippin’ chickens in his momma kitchen
On the mission, said he get it for his sons tuition
Real nigga’s dreams comin’ to fruition
Stumble, but I never fall, leanin’ on my pistol
I only love it when the ass fat
We should listen to this track in my Maybach
I’m just tryin’ to be a billionaire
Come and suck a dick for a millionaire[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Uh, it’s just different
I know it feels different
Uh, I only love her if her eyes brown
Play this shit while you play around with my crown
King H-O, y’all should know by now
But if you don’t know, uh
Millions on the wall and all my rooms
Niggas couldn’t fuck with my daughter’s room
Niggas couldn’t walk in my daughter’s socks
Banksy bitches, Basquiat
I ran through that buck fifty Live Nation fronted me
They workin’ on another deal, they talkin’ two hundred fifty
I’m holdin’ out for three
Two seventy five and I just might agree
Ex-D-boy, used to park my beamer
Now look at me, I can park in my own arena
I only love her if her weave new
I’m still a hood nigga, what you want me to do?
Been hoppin’ out the BM with your BM
Taken to places that you can’t go with your per diem
Screamin’ carpe diem until I’m a dead poet
Robin Williams shit, I deserve a golden globe bitch!
I take a ace in the meanwhile
You ain’t gotta keep this ? it’s just a freestyle
Fuck rap money, I’ve made more off crates
Fuck show money, I spent that on drapes
Close the curtains, fuck boy, out my face
I whip the coke, let the lawyer beat the case
Murder was the case that they gave me
I killed the Hermes store, somebody save me
Stuntin’ to the max like wavy
Oh shit! Oh, stuntin’ to the max, I’m so wavy
Used to shop at TJ Maxx back in ’83
I don’t even know if it was open then
I ain’t know Oprah didn’t
Have the XL 80 bike
Loud motor, they be like, “Damn!” when I’m comin’ through, rrraaanngg
Had the grill in ’88, y’all niggas is late
You got all that, right?
I love this shit like my own daughter
Let’s spray these niggas, baby, just like daddy taught ya
Young, this is just different
Thanks to RapGenius

Decent concept, but Dre can’t rap and Ross isn’t living like that…Hov at the end invalidates the other two. Get Ghostface and Puff in there for Ross and Dre.

It’s not quite the banger a lot of us might have expected… but it’s a chill, matter of fact vibe… and it might be considered a classic one day.
I think it’s a good idea that Ross went with this vibe instead of creating a banger — because they’re just being very matter of fact… describing why they’ve earned the right to be king.
Question on my mind is… why the heck didn’t Dre produce it?

1) Did anyone else notice the subliminal from Jay-Z (at 50 cent)
“I ran through that buck 50″
2) An issue with this song is that Jay’s portion is too long and so he steals the track. I hope Rozay will add another verse — it is his album after all… it seems like a Jay-Z track featuring Rozay and Dre.

Uh no it wasn’t a sub. He’s referring to the deal with live nation he made for 150 mil. I mean if you was listening the very next line he said they offered him 250.

Yo it took 3 of us to reason with you? You so dumb for assuming he was taking shots at 50 in the first place! He Got 150 From Live Nation, They offered him another 250… He said he’d rather 300 but would settle for 275! Where’s the punch? Where’s the sublim? Kill yourself for even thinking Hov would need to mention 50 in 2012

Classic haha…maybe the last verse. Rappers have too many yes men. I was listening and Jay started and I was like when the fuck did Ross’ verse end. If this is the caliber (barring Jay-Z’s efforts) of music we can expect in 2012 niggas better get them spacesuits and hit up Guetta for that club money or just tour off Old Shit.

WTF is with all the negative Dre comments ?! Ross is the best boaster owt at the moment, he gave Dre (who can back the boasting up) a lend of his flow and Dre smashed it. Nice to hear him with some confidence back in his rhymes….

I don’t think so! Look at Rick Ross’s verse and then Dre’s. Listen to the words and rhyme scheme’s and then imagine it coming through Ross’s voice. After that, add a few ross adlibs and you know Rick Ross wrote that trash. The subject matter is weak and the content of the bars are simple.

@2Gees Stop it! Did Still Dre sound like Hov wrote it? Nope… Yet he did! @DielsAlder I hadn’t even thought about that… You’re right… Maybe Kendrick did have something to do with that verse, not cause it sounds like he did but cause he’s under Aftermath!

CLEARLY THE JAY Z & DRE FEATURE 50 CENT NEVER GOT…
INSTEAD OF 50 ITS RICK ROSS
THIS WHOLE RECORD HAS 50 CENT WRITTEN ALL OVER IT FROM THE TITLE TO THE BEAT
IN ALL HONESTY ONLY REMEMBER JAY Z’S PART AND 4GOT DRE WAS ON IT

Im not too impressed with this track…Iam really hoping this is not the actual track that appears on ROSS’ album. If so, he’s losing major points.. Track is sub par in comparison to various other tracks with featured over the years. Especially is Tracks with JAY.
