By the way, I got a lot of respect for a lot of rappers. But I got one guy, he's my favorite to rap with on any song. His name is Rick Ross. That's my brother. And we were in the Palms Hotel overlooking Vegas and I was saying I wonder if I'm ever going to be big enough to play these huge arenas that I was looking down on. And hey, here we are."
