I would have to say Rick Ross gets me pumped up before the big games. The way he promotes himself, the words he puts into the songs, that kind of just turns me up before that big game. I gotta listen to him.

If I don’t listen to Ross before my games, I just feel like something’s wrong. I listen to Ross on the way to the stadium anyway that I can. I’ll listen to him on the stereo, on the iPods. Even when I’m out there stretching before the games, I’ll listen to Ross.

I just get into that mode. It’s like, “Okay, I’m going to give it all that I got. Let’s go.” Maurkice Pouncey, Pittsburgh Steelers Center

I can’t even lie to you, I listen to everyone out here in Miami. I think one of my favorites of all-time would have to be Lil Wayne.

When you look at the strides he’s come from, we just love him. I know we love his music. Rick Ross, Young Jeezy never put out a bad project. I would say someone else that’s really been coming hard is Game.

We’ve been playing Game’s music all the time. I listen to him almost every day and all day. One thing I can tell you about athletes, we all wish we could be rappers and rappers all wish they could be athletes. -Mike Pouncey, Miami Dolphins Center

  1. James got the game on lock! Just listening to that call you can tell James is real. The whole country of Trinidad and the whole south just spit on the whole east coast. Maino got punked! James goin triple plat! Bet!

    • How did maino get punked?? James didnt sound tough to me in one bit. Maino told the nigga to apologize to the public. A tough guy would of said suck my dick, i aint apologizing for shit…. james didnt even come close to saying that. Infact he said the opposite saying he didnt mean for what he said to be consider as him coming at ny??? What are yall listening too

      • I agree with you Wendel. There’s a lot of south niggas on this site with trinidad nuts in there mouths.

        Basically Maino told homeboy, you want beef I’m here and Trinidad don’t even respond. lol These trolls are probably ten years old.

  2. well maino is right,when james was saying what he was saying,he shit on that at the end when he said if someone wants to start something he is there,that line alone made is whole convo seems like he want to start something.

    • Yea he did star something plus hes finishing it. Maino got punked point blank and james getting money. James is strong too he can punch maino in the stomach. Co signed by my boy PeoplePlease07

  3. Yo, why the FUCK do ya’ll allow Maino to be this tough guy? Who is this nigga? His music is garbage as hell.. So what, the nigga slapped Young Berg?!? My daughter will slap the hell out of Young Berg too.. Fuck Maino

    • Exactly! Trinidad james for life! Hes the gangsterist dude in the industry right now.

      • And you are a prime example of why this nigga gets the attention he does.. Dick Riding… Look fam, i aint being no internet tough guy or super nigga.. But that nigga Maino, breathes the same air I do.. So why the hell would I be afraid to say anything to his face? If I had a issue with the nigga, it would get address just like anybody else.. Thats not tought guy talk, thats grown man talk.. Its dudes like you that buy into that killa shit Maino and other rappers talk.. No need asking you would you say something to his face, b/c you just showed your ho card…

        • LOL. Ok tough guy. First off no one is dick riding anyone but saying fuck you to ANYONE over the internet is a lil weak. Taking sides in a rap beef is also weak. You don’t even know the dude to say that. Also you don’t know me so you don’t know what I would buy into or what I would do. Anyone that knows me knows tho knows I don’t pull punches tho and if I don’t like you or rock with you you would know.

  4. maino and his backers are cornballs playing childish games who are currently being priced out of new york by people who really do run the city. No one will name a street or a school after maino and the big wigs in NY have implemented plans to control real estate and media outlets as well. n-words never learn and will continue losing.

  5. MAINO IS LAME AS FUCK. HE NOT EVEN RELEVANT IN HIS OWN DAMN CITY ANYMORE!!! AND DA ONLY REASON WHY HE WAS EVEN ALLOWED IN THE RAP GAME IS CAUSE DA NIGGA REALLY DID A DIME IN PRISON..LMAO..NIGGAZ FELT SORRY FOR HIS ASS AND GOT HIM IN DA GAME..DA NIGGA CANT RAP TO SAVE HIS LIFE..HE STILL RAPPIN LIKE ITS 1996..FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!
