It appears that rapper Rick Ross has been inspired by rapper/producer Dr Dre. The Maybach Music CEO mentioned during a recent interview that the two went into the studio together, although it's not known what the pair worked on. It could have been tracks for Dre's long delayed "Detox" album, or Ross's "God Forgives, I Don't". At any rate, Ross says the two had dinner and talked and that lead to the studio. He also mentioned how Dre has been his biggest influence in the game. After delaying the release of "God Forgives, I Don't"  and easing his busy schedule after his two seizures, Ross finally released his mixtape "Rich Forever" last month.
