Rick Ross' "Maybach Music" featuring Jay-Z was a track from Ross's second album, Trilla. He then recruited Lil Wayne and Kanye West to join him on its sequel "Maybach Music 2." To complete the trilogy, Ross enlisted three more heavyweights, T.I., Jadakiss and Erykah Badu for this track. The neo-soul queen and the Miami MC previously worked together on a remix of Badu's "Window Seat."
Ross paid tribute to T. I.'s contribution in an interview with MTV's Sucker Free: "I had to do it real big with someone I never collaborated with before: Tip," Ross said. "We got a full orchestra, a live orchestra from the strings on down. It's gonna be a masterpiece. It felt good to work with him. He just came home and got in the lab. He heard the music, he knows the legacy of part one and part two. And I feel like the verse he spits on this record may be one of his hardest verses. It's that 'Rubber Band Man' flow."
Erykah Badu also directed the song's music video.
