    Rappers Rick Ross and Jeezy play Foxwoods Saturday

    At some point, rappers Rick Ross and Jeezy will look at one another and, with expressions of bewilderment on their faces, sheepishly admit to one another that there's nothing left for them to brag about.

    They'll have name-dropped more expensive stuff than Robin Leach saw in his entire "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" career. They'll also have taunted and boasted about more crimes than the Chicago Police Department has investigated in 50 years. And they'll have exhausted their catalog of beats and synth blurts fills and lower-than-lower bass lines.

    "Are we done?" Jeezy will say to Ross.

    "Nah, just go back and do it all over again," Ross will say. "Look, I just released 'Port of Miami 2' only 13 years after the first one. It sounds more tired and more like I don't care, but that's OK because I AM tired and don't care. At the same time, we're also rich and own most of the stuff we brag bout, so, hell, let's go on tour."

    And indeed they have. See Ross and Jeezy — with plenty of hits, even if the newer stuff is pretty much snail-mailed in — when they hit the Grand Theater at Foxwoods for a Saturday double-bill.

    Rick Ross and Jeezy, 8 p.m., Grand Theater, Foxwoods; $85-$178; 1-800-200-2882.
