10 Songs That Made Ric Flair A Hip-Hop Icon

5. Ric Flair - Cam'Ron

The first of what would be many, it was Cameron Giles who dropped the first eponymous 'Ric Flair' track, back in 2009.

A veteran of starting confrontations in feathered pink robes, Cam'ron and the Nature Boy have more in common than just being supreme s**t talkers.

While Naitch probably wouldn't have been able to keep the kind of low profile needed to slang rock on the block like a young Cam, his conquests in the ring and the lavish lifestyle they afforded him, were a definite inspiration.

Opting for the more understated Comfort Inn to the Marriott, Cam, like Flair, revels in his wealth in hotels - and carries enough pocket cash to cover a light weekend of waste.

"We bumpin in, (where?) the Comfort Inn, 100 thousand in the duffle, dump it in"

Preferring Prada high tops to alligators and lizard skin loafers, Cam'ron has designed multiple custom Reebok sneakers and is keen to impress on his punters, like the Nature Boy, that his footwear is of primary importance.

"Get it clear. If you want it, we get it there. I need six more pairs, I'm like 'Woo!' Ric Flair."
