A Beat So Nice They Had To Use It Twice: [Ghostface vs. Rick Ross]

Hip hop production team J.U.S.T.I.C.E League created a beat for Ghostface Killah a while back, he loved it and intended it use it on his upcoming album. The problem was he got a little lax on the business end and never officially claimed the beat, so J.U.S.T.I.C.E League were free to shop it around to other artists who may have been interested in using it.

In the end, the beat ended up being used on a great summer song by Rick Ross called "Yacht Club". The smooth instrumental mixed with Magazeen's island-influenced hook, everyone popping bottles and living it up in the video... it turned out GREAT. I know hardcore hip hop fans turn up their noses at Rick Ross for numerous reasons, but he did do this song justice.

Back to the story, here we are in September and even though Rick Ross released Yacht Club as a single months ago... Ghostface decides to use the same beat on his new album anyways just because he loved it so much. Now we get to compare who did a better job using the same source material.

While everyone pretty much universally recognizes Ghostface as a better emcee.... I believe Rick Ross actually wins this.
