06/09: Audio: Diddy Calls Rick Ross the "Biggie of the South," Mister Cee Says "Teflon Don" Was Original "Ready to Die" Title
Rap Radar's B.Dot reports on Def Jam's Rick Ross and Supreme Team conference call featuring Ross, Diddy, DJ Khaled and Mister Cee. Care of

Diddy spoke glowingly of Ross and spoke to the suggestions that he had compared Ross to Biggie, during the music video shoot to Dirty Money's "Angels (Remix)." We've been over this:
Diddy didn't compare him to Biggie, he just said he was sounding like him on one track.
"He's a very unique artist," Diddy said. "He's bigger than just an artist, he's a brand and that's one of the reasons why I wanted to work with him, because I feel we can do bigger and better things. Having worked with Biggie, somebody that also was talking about things from the street. I'm not comparing him to Biggie, because we get started going down that road. But, I am saying that there is similarities in the mental approach of a record that I do have a familiarity with. To me, he's the Biggie of the south, hands down. I heard his album. His album's a classic."
He also called Ross' recent mixtape release,
"The Albert Anastasia EP" (
free download) "one of the hardest mixtapes in history."
Mister Cee revealed something interesting, which was that the original title of The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Ready to Die" was "Teflon Don," which just happens to be the title of Rick Ross' upcoming release.
"I told Ross a couple of weeks ago - he don't even know this or not - you know, "Teflon Don" was the original title of Biggie's "Ready to Die" album," said Cee. "And so, it's incredible to me how that's the name of Ross' album. Like Diddy said, it's not about Ross sounding like Big, but you cannot deny the zone that Ross is in, from where he was at from the first album to now is just - my n****, you on another planet."
