Rick Ross says that he'd take a dinner with JAY-Z over $500,000 and explained his reasoning on social media. In doing so, he recalled a lunch meeting he had with the legendary rapper back in 2008. The comments come on the heels of JAY-Z finally weighing in on the age-old debate, telling fans taking the money is a smarter decision.
"I'ma take the dinner and I'ma tell you why. In '08, before I turned in my second album, I had a meeting with Hov. We went to lunch," he began, before referencing a restaurant in Manhattan. "He said 'Rozay, versus writing to every beat you like, write to every record you can make work.' He told me a quick story about 'Big Pimpin'. I said, 'Okay, bet.' So, I went from writing one record to every 80 beats I liked, to writing 40 records outta every 80 beats I could make work."

As for JAY-Z's opinion on the hypothetical, he addressed it in a recent interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings. “You gotta take the money,” JAY-Z said. “You got all that in the music for $10.99 — that’s a bad deal. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal. Take the $500,000, go buy some albums, and listen to the albums. It’s all there.”

He continued: “If you piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, for what it is, it’s all there. Everything I said was going to happen happened, everything I said I wanted to do I’ve done. There’s the blueprint — literally, the blueprint to me and my life and my journey is there already.” Check out Rick Ross' position on the debate above.
