First Impressions: The 50 Best Hip-Hop Intro Tracks

42. Rick Ross – “I’m Not A Star”
Produced By J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League ~ Album: Teflon Don (2010)

This tongue in cheek ode to all things flashy and bossy is an anthem for dons everywhere. So much so Lil’ Wayne did his own rendition of the track on Tha Carter 4 (with the help of Rozay of course).

The frantic beat provided by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League sets up for the big bawse nicely to sweat his swagger juice all over this track and the rest of the album.

Memorable Lines:

I’m not a star, somebody lied
I got a pistol in the car, a 45
If I’d die today, remember me like John Lennon
Buried in Louie, I’m talkin’ all brown linen
Make all of my bitches tattoo my logo on they titty
Put a statue of a nigga in the middle of the city
Load up the choppers like it’s December 31st
Roll up and cock it and hit them niggas where it hurts
