Rick Ross and comedian Andy Samberg sat down with Complex magazine, they both will grace the cover of the Complex Magazine June/July issue. Hit the jump to see the video and read the interview.
Both of you have new albums. Andy, what’s the science behind Turtleneck & Chain?
Andy Samberg: Songs about our dicks, fake rap, and other fake music.
Rick, you have God Forgives, I Don’t. What’s the direction with that?
Rick Ross: It’s beautifully violent. It’s street music at its finest.
Beautiful violence and penises. Your marketing departments must love you. Do you guys expect any other similarities out of your respective albums?
A: They’re both going to come out. [Laughter.] They’ll definitely both be available on iTunes. CD. In the future we’re going to get them out on laser disc.
R: Fuck, yeah!
Rick, can we expect some dick jokes on God Forgives, I Don’t?
R: There will be a few “suck my dick†and blow job mentions here and there.
Already you’re making a connection.
A: Rick, did you ever see the biopic on Don King? My favorite line from that is when he’s in the bathroom talking to a dude while he’s taking a piss and the guy asks, “Hey Don, aren’t you going to wash your hands?†and he’s like, “Shit, I wash my hands before I touch my dick!â€
R: [Laughs.] That’s true, though.
When did you both decide that you wanted to be rappers?
My favorite line from the Don King biopic is when he’s in the bathroom, and he’s like, ‘Sh*t, I wash my hands before I touch my d*ck!’ —Andy
A: I’m a comedian, and I decided I wanted to be a comedian when I was eight years old watching old Saturday Night Live episodes. I never decided to be a rapper because I’m not a rapper.
R: But he hangs with cool-ass rappers.
A: I’ve been lucky enough to chill out with rappers because of my love for rap music.
What about you, Rick?
R: Hanging out at an arcade and they had a big-ass screen on the wall. Some fine chicks walked in and they had biker shorts on. I was in fourth or fifth grade at the time, and I was like, “Damn, these are the finest chicks I’ve ever seen.†I just saw the way they reacted to Big Daddy Kane when “The Symphony†came on. I started doing the flattop right there. [Laughter.]
Rick, is there anyone you don’t fuck with comedically?
R: I fuck with my homie right here. We don’t fuck with Carrot Top.
A: I don’t think I would step to Carrot Top, though—he’s jacked as hell. [Laughter.]
But maybe if you were rolling with the Bawse…?
R: He’s got the Bawse with him now.
A: That’s true, yeah, I’d go at it.
R: Yeah, we said it. Fuck Carrot Top!
Andy, who’s the softest dude in rap?
A: I’m not really in a position to call anyone in rap soft. Probably me.
Rick, if you got into acting, what kind of role would you play?
R: “The Weed Head.†The Bawse weed head. Testing the strains that I got my team growing for me. That’s what I do, I count the money and I test the product.
