I'm from the UK and I've been watching your interviews this station has to be the best radio station in the world they are so real i want to move to america now.
man I used to not like rick ross, but after hearing that rich forever and this interview I gained respect for him! he's a business man and I can respect that
No. He's real name is William Roberts. The name and image he portrays is stolen from ''Freeway Ricky Ross''. He was an infamous druglord in the 80's. Look him up, a cool dude and very smart.
well start listening to Kendrick Lamar, Wale, Jcole, and Meek Millz and LISTEN , and you will see the 90's and now arent that different . Wale- Ambition Album, Kendrick Lamar- Swimming Pool , Jcole - Cole world album & Meek Millz - Dream chasers & Dreamchasers 2
None of those people took a person's WHOLE persona...50, Noreaga and Pete only took the name....for the most part they took that person's NICKname...Noreaga only took the last name.....THIS dude took a person's WHOLE government name, look (hair and beard) and lifestyle....C'mon son.
It wasn't the fact that he was a CO, that made me think he was fake, it was the flip flopping on whether or not he did. He would never just answer the question and say yes it was me,he would try to make it sound like the most gangster shit in the world.If he had of just said yeah I did it because I need the money at the time, I would've never questioned his past.
you being here is supporting him whether you're hating or not, being here is still supporting. Haters are SO dumb these days that they don't think before they do something.
The reason he did that is because Angela Ye said for some people that doesnt work.....An ross looked at charalamenge like this chick dont know who Iam. You just gotta listen to the convo
his last album pushed numbers cuz of the BMF track...a mixtape track...he's gotta go back to that JUSTICE League and Cool & Dre sound...fuck that lex luger that he's on now...he needs that soul again...he used to be a BEAST
ROSS IS THE HOTTEST RAPPER OUT RIGHT NOW, HANDS DOWN && THE RICH FOREVER MIXTAPE DID BETTER THAN MOST OF THESE ALBUMS THAT'S OUT RIGHT NOW, LETS JUST KEEP IT REAL.!
True art of hip-hop? What are you a 25+ year old who won't let go of the past, or a kid whose 12 years old? This is ENTERTAINMENT at the end of the day.... And your goal is to sell GOOD music to people who will buy your music (Which are Suburban Kids/People who are between the ages of 12-25). The fact that Rick Ross used to be an C.O. just proves that point that you don't have to sell drugs. Also, when guys who are at the front of hip-hop are Drake, Big Sean, and Kanye West.
even though the image ross puts on is a fake, you still gotta respect the mans grind. he put in work and become a boss, someone who has the power to positively effect the lives of othe people and for that, you gotta respecet the man
man everybody needs to leave rozay alone!!!! i understand people beef wit buddy but regardless of all that shit the man can SPIT 4 real!!!!! lyrically rozay is NICE!!! and he makes good music 2!!!!! so niggaz jus need to fall back off rozay!!!
I don't think you realize that that's how Tupac got in trouble in the first place. When his first album came out, he had a song called Soulja's Story where he talks about killing a cop. I believe in 92 a kid killed a cop and said that the song was the reason why he killed the cop. He got HUGE HUGE shit for that. Tipper Gore who was Vice President's Al Gore's complained about his music. And that was only the beginning, I don't think you realize how controversial Pac was back in the day.
Yes Pac was a small time drug dealer, and so was Biggie. But they weren't mafia leaders or Gangsters like they proclaimed in songs like "All Eyez On Me", "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted", "My Downfall", or "Sky's the Limit". You listen to those lyrics in those songs, thats what THEY'RE SAYING. Its a double standard when you say it was okay for them to say it and not for Ross, because these guys were never in that Mafia lifestyle.
As big of a name Rick Ross is, he doesn't move units. He may be more popular than Jeezy in the hiphop community,but outside of the hiphop community, Jeezy is a much bigger artist. Jeezy sales records. TM103 has already gone gold and is on pace to go platinum. I bet Ross's next album don't do the same kind of numbers as TM103.
He's saying to sell drugs? No he's not..... He's talking about HOW ITS MADE, not GO DO IT. He's glorifying it, but in no way is he promoting selling or making drugs. Plus he's rapping about being an mafioso type figure in most of his music. Its no different to what Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas did back in the Mid-90's with classic albums like "It Was Written", "Reasonable Doubt", and "Life After Death".
Saying that he had slept with Faith Evans when he clearly didn't. And savagely attacking Biggie and Bad Boy and saying that they would do severe harm to them with tracks like "Hit Em Up", I mean come on man..... Its one of the best diss tracks of all time, but its the most fucked up. Why do you care so much that its fake? Most of the things that rappers say they did in these songs AREN'T true. Being "Cop Killers", "Drug Lords", and "Mafia Leaders".
I don't care what anybody say. As much as I love his music I think he is an informer. How you used to be a correctional officer then turn gansta rapper acting like you still be in the streets when he was neber street naming himself after people that was really doing the shit he be rapping about. You notice whenever ask about it he smoothly bull shits his way out of it and go to something else.
after that?? oh ok. And like i said, nobody says anything when Yo gotti used that name, or any other dudes use a gangster name that isnt theirs. STOP being a hater, the man is a musical icon. Go listen to Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane with all of your 50 year old friends who yell "Hip-Hop is dead"
It's just music my dude. I don't care nothing about these dudes personal lives. If they make something I like I'm a rock that. I could give a fuck about how "real" or "fake" these dudes are. Nas is my favorite emcee and its well documented that he was never a killer or out on the streets like that. Same with Pac. He was never out on them streets like that, don't mean I don't like his music.
Officer Ricky stay puttin up a front, his whole career is based off him bein a kingpin drug dealer when in reality he's a CO, it's crazy how fans will accept sum1 bein fake nowadayz smh
Plus, if your raise your kid right and aren't living in a bad area. Selling drugs won't be an option to them. You have a whole generation of kids listening to these guys in 90's with the Gangsta Movement back then. It didn't move these kids to selling drugs. Its hilarious because its a life that the inner city youths are aware of because they live around it. And these rappers are selling the music to an suburban audience. And its not like those suburban kids are going to sell drugs.
Also, I don't think you realize that ALOT of 90's rappers were influenced by Mafia movies from their youths. That's what most of these guys mention interviews. Hell Jay-Z said that when he saw "American Gangster" and "Scarface". Also Biggie calling himself the "Black Frank White" because of the movie "King of New York". Also, I don't get the fact you say Ross is spewing violence when that was the complaint from white people in 90's about that Gangsta/Mafioso rap. How it glorified violence.
Because they have the opportunities and outlets to be successful. Also, they just enjoy the music, and are smart enough to realize that. and who cares if he lies? Like you said everyone lies in their rhyme. So why worry about it? He's making money, and that's all that matters at the end of the day. It just bothers me that someone would take an rappers gimmick or lyrics to heart. Its like an avid WWE fan thinking that wrestling is real. Its entertainment, get over it....
The rappers that I mentioned didn't glorify it are you Kidding me? LMAO, My favorite rapper of all-time, The Notorious B.I.G. "Ten Crack Commandments"... He gives 10 rules of selling crack, lmao... "Niggas Bleed" He talks about putting on a hit to kill someone... You can't tell me he was glorifying that. Jay-Z in Big Pimpin, Steve Stout mentioned it himself said in his verse that he's talking about making and selling drugs. These guys weren't mob bosses but small time drug dealers.
without him being a fake, his music sucks anyway he raps about nothing he is a commercial industry rapper, and on top of that he is the fakest image in rap ever, he went to college ,he played football and he was a CO, but he wanted everyone to believe a fake negative image instead, why is it not cool to make music about who you really are, i would have loved to have gone to college played football, they dont talk about the bad side of drugs and the bad impact it has on people, grow up radio fans
Who is watching this in 2019 this interview is a classic now it's almost going on 10 years

No. He's real name is William Roberts. The name and image he portrays is stolen from ''Freeway Ricky Ross''. He was an infamous druglord in the 80's. Look him up, a cool dude and very smart.

well start listening to Kendrick Lamar, Wale, Jcole, and Meek Millz and LISTEN , and you will see the 90's and now arent that different . Wale- Ambition Album, Kendrick Lamar- Swimming Pool , Jcole - Cole world album & Meek Millz - Dream chasers & Dreamchasers 2

None of those people took a person's WHOLE persona...50, Noreaga and Pete only took the name....for the most part they took that person's NICKname...Noreaga only took the last name.....THIS dude took a person's WHOLE government name, look (hair and beard) and lifestyle....C'mon son.

"I got a set date...we aint pushin that back".....and the album still aint here.
Saying that he had slept with Faith Evans when he clearly didn't. And savagely attacking Biggie and Bad Boy and saying that they would do severe harm to them with tracks like "Hit Em Up", I mean come on man..... Its one of the best diss tracks of all time, but its the most fucked up.

Plus, if your raise your kid right and aren't living in a bad area. Selling drugs won't be an option to them. You have a whole generation of kids listening to these guys in 90's with the Gangsta Movement back then. It didn't move these kids to selling drugs.

"Niggas Bleed" He talks about putting on a hit to kill someone...
You can't tell me he was glorifying that.
Jay-Z in Big Pimpin, Steve Stout mentioned it himself said in his verse that he's talking about making and selling drugs.
These guys weren't mob bosses but small time drug dealers.
