10 Songs That Made Ric Flair A Hip-Hop Icon
3. What Dreams Are Made Of - Pusha T
Pusha T wasn't always a Ric Flair fan.
“I was a fan of Dusty Rhodes. My dad sat me down and was like 'Yo, why you like him? Look at him! He has that big tumor on him. He looks disgusting. You supposed to like [Flair].' I was like, 'Why dad? He's the bad guy.' My dad said 'who's cleaner? Who's fresher?' Essentially he was saying 'You don't wanna muse Dusty Rhodes buddy.' Ever since then I have been a Ric Flair fanatic" - Pusha T
Using a classic braggadocios Flair promo to open the track, the song's ultra cavalier hook is inspired entirely by the Nature Boy's love for the ladies; "I was trying to match a Pusha arrogance of what Flair would do"
Sell that pussy to me, I'd rather buy it baby / Look at ya purse you need the help, you can't deny it baby / I'm what dreams are made of / I'm what dreams are made of - Pusha T
Of all the Flair aficionados in hip-hop, none are more fervent in their admiration than Pusha T, declaring Naitch to be "the first s**t talking rapper of life"
"He is everything, people should know about him in history books"
