Given the choice, Rick Ross would choose lunch with JAY-Z over $500,000. (Of course, there's a good chance he already has that kind of money.)
如果让里克·罗斯选择,他会选择与JAY-Z共进午餐,而不是50万美元。(当然,很有可能他已经有那么多钱了。)

After JAY-Z recently settled the viral debate by advising fans to take the money over a lunch meeting with him, Ross added his own thoughts into the mix, urging the opposite — inspired by his own personal experience.
最近,JAY-Z建议粉丝们在与他共进午餐的时候拿走奖金,从而平息了这场病毒式的争论。而罗斯则以自己的亲身经历为灵感,加入了自己的想法,主张采取相反的做法。

"I’mma take the dinner, and I’mma tell you why. In ’08, before I turned in my second album, I had a meeting with Hov. We went to lunch," said Ross, 47, in a video posted to his Instagram Story this week. "He said, ‘Rozay, versus writing to every beat you like, write to every record you could make work.'"
“我要吃晚饭,我要告诉你为什么。08年,在我发行第二张专辑之前,我和Hov见了一面。我们一起吃了午饭,”47岁的罗斯本周在他的Instagram故事中发布了一段视频。“他说,‘罗泽伊,与其写任何你喜欢的节奏,不如写任何你能做成的唱片。’”

Ross recalled the "99 Problems" rapper, 53, sharing stories about his own experiences that led him to change his approach to music. "So, I went from writing one record to every 80 beats I liked, to writing 40 records out of every 80 beats I could make work," he said. "It took me to another level as a writer, another level as a artist."
罗斯回忆起这位53岁的“99个问题”说唱歌手,分享了他自己的经历,这些经历使他改变了对音乐的态度。“所以,我从每80个节拍写一张唱片,到每80个节拍写40张唱片,我可以工作,”他说。“它把我带到了一个作家的另一个层次,一个艺术家的另一个层次。”

According to the "Hustlin'" performer, having a meal with JAY-Z is the more worthwhile option — but only if you know what to do with the time. "So you gotta ask yourself — are you ready to digest the knowledge, or you just wanna look at his watch at the table?"
据这位“Hustlin’”的表演者说,和JAY-Z一起吃饭是更有价值的选择——但前提是你知道如何利用这段时间。“所以你得问问自己——你准备好消化这些知识了吗,还是只想看看他在桌子上的表?”

In a follow-up video shared to social media, Ross responded to JAY-Z's guidance against choosing the lunch. "I get it. Y’all know Hov. He’s humble," he said, noting that it's not worth it to take the meal and simply ask about his experiences making hit songs. "I would tell you get the money too, but if you ready to digest the knowledge that he gon’ give you... It's priceless."
在社交媒体上分享的后续视频中,罗斯回应了JAY-Z对选择午餐的指导。“我明白了。你们都知道Hov。他很谦虚,”他说,并指出,不值得在吃饭时简单地问他制作热门歌曲的经历。“我想告诉你也把钱拿去,但如果你准备好接受他给你的知识……这是无价的。”

JAY-Z recently addressed the viral debate during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, which premiered exclusively on PEOPLE earlier this week ahead of its Thursday and Friday airings.
JAY-Z最近在CBS早间节目中接受Gayle King的采访时谈到了这场病毒式的辩论,该节目本周早些时候在《PEOPLE》独家播出,周四和周五播出。

He settled the debate with solid business advice: "You gotta take the money. What I'mma say?"
他用可靠的商业建议结束了这场辩论:“你必须拿钱。我该说什么?”

King, 68, spoke about the ethos behind the debate, explaining that many people think the "wisdom" one could receive from the rap icon would help them make more than $500,000 on their own.
68岁的金谈到了这场辩论背后的精神,他解释说,许多人认为从这位说唱偶像那里获得的“智慧”可以帮助他们自己赚到50多万美元。

If JAY-Z had to choose, however, he'd still take the money. "Because you got all that in the music for $10.99. That’s a bad deal. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal," he advised. "Take the $500,000, go buy some albums and listen to the albums. It’s all there."
然而,如果让JAY-Z做出选择,他还是会接受这笔钱。“因为你花10.99美元就得到了所有这些。这是一笔糟糕的交易。我不会让你做一笔糟糕的交易。”“拿着这50万美元,去买几张唱片,听几张唱片。都在那儿。”

"If you piece it together and really listen to the music for the words, for what it is, it’s all there. Everything that I said was going to happen, happened. Everything that I said I wanted to do, I’ve done, and there’s the blueprint," he added, referencing the title of his iconic 2001 album. "The blueprint — literally — to me and my life and my journey is there already."
“如果你把它拼凑在一起,真的去听音乐的歌词,它是什么,它都在那里。我说过会发生的事,都发生了。我说过我想做的每一件事,我都做到了,这就是蓝图,”他补充道,引用了他2001年标志性专辑的名字。“对我、我的生活和我的旅程来说,蓝图已经在那里了。”
