"MC Hammer" - It was 2010, the song was "MC Hammer" and Rick Ross' trill club hit made the song's producer, Lex Luger, an instant star. Not to mention ATLien Gucci Mane dropped a verse and closed the song out with his classic "burrs" making sure that you'd play it straight through to the end. (Photo: Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images)

"3 Kings" - Hard-core rap fans are still patiently waiting for Dr. Dre to release his highly anticipated album Detox to drop, but thanks to Rick Ross, he was able to get one of the West Coast's kings to drop a verse and open his 2012 song "3 Kings," also featuring Jay Z. Produced by Jake One and sampling the 1976 gospel hit "I'm So Grateful (Keep in Touch)," it was a hit from day one. (Photo: Gary Miller/FilmMagic)
