So finally the fat boy mans up and show us he has some gonads left, as if we cared that you use to be a CO in the first place, what we cared about was you not having any integrity to at least admit it when you are confronted with evidence, no matter how high up you get life will always provide proof to show that you are still human – words to live by.

Say Officer Ross

“Yes. It’s me.” He also added, “I never tried to hide my past. I put my name inside my cds. My company has my SS#. I could’ve put a company name… I done been up and I done been down and that’s what makes me what I am. I never ratted on a nigga. I never prosecuted a nigga. I never locked up a nigga, that’s first and foremost. I always felt that me being the nigga that I am, I never owed a nigga an explanation… When I’m making my music and I’m talking about blow, it’s because I did it. When I say that I’m rich off cocaine, it’s because i did it. Those are the street principals that apply.”

Okay so now you’ve admitted it but still you couldn’t tell the truth and nothing but the truth huh? So now your saying you never denied it, did any body else read that or am I just tripping? So this video we had posted up of you denying it and I quote “na that’s not true” is just a figment of our imagination, just for that I’m not lifting that officer title until new years. Man these rappers are some characters man, Hip Hop is like a Soap Opera that we can’t stop watching.

It’s Like I’m The Only One Awake In This World Of Dreams – Omar West

Akon’s Reaction:
“The whole purpose of Konvict Music was to grab ex-convicts, felons,” he said. “People head in that direction and steer them in the opposite direction. Just focus on my past and try to contradict whatever it is I might have said or lived and don’t focus on the positive things I’ve done in society in general. If you have an article, at least balance it out. Let the people know the good things I’ve done, the schools I’ve built. The kids I feed in Africa. Don’t just say, ‘He wasn’t locked up for three years.’ I don’t care if I was locked up for one day. It’s that experience that allowed me to become that person who I am, to make a better society for who is listening.”

From Rhapsody’s Rhap Session with Mike:

On credibility in hip-hop and Rick Ross’ alleged past career as a prison guard
I’m not speaking relative to or in opposition of Rick Ross in this next statement, but I will say this: my father was an Atlanta police officer and my mother was a known drug trafficker, in addition to being a business owner and pretty smart, savvy black woman. And I’ve never hid either of those facts. I’m a man and I am contradictory elements to my past and my personality. I’m the same kid that sold dope on Martin Luther King [Drive], paid for a tutor with that dope money, and got himself into Morehouse College because he knew Martin Luther King Jr. went there. My story is the American story. It’s Joe Kennedy. A grandfather who ran moonshine so his children could be better educated. My mother did what she did so her child could have a better life. I’m from that, and that’s what I wanna present in all it’s beauty. I’ve always told my story in that way because I have integrity. I can’t answer in terms of why other rappers do it; I’m just gonna say I don’t lie to my audience. I just think the true stories, the ones with all of our complexities, make better movies and songs. I would’ve loved to hear a Port of Miami where a guy gets fired from his job as a C.O. and goes on to some dirt. But for everybody who’s judging him now, understand that his next album is called Deeper Than Rap. We are politicians; he can spin this into something bigger. Now that the truth is told, what good is gonna come out of the truth?

I can’t say I fully agree with you Mike I think his credibility is shot, he will have to make some incredible music for us to forget about this, similar to how Lil Wayne made everyone forget all about him and Baby lip locking sessions.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, The Smoking Gun has just released a bunch of documents that seem to not only confirm Officer Ross’s work history and also shows that he was a good worker. Check out his “Certificate of Appreciation” for perfect attendance given to the Boss by the Florida Dept. of Corrections back in 1996.

Shaking My head right now…..

In case you been living under a rock:Rick Ross Exposed

Damn Ross I don’t know how you going to bounce back from this one man, all you had to do is not deny it.
Not up on the whole Officer Ross thing go here:Rick Ross Exposed

Well Well Well, ever heard the term “only time will tell” well in this case time is definitely snitching. Like I told you guys before I knew Rick Ross use to be a C.O. since last year I just didn’t know it was this big secret and that most people didn’t know about it or the fact that this cat has been denying it.

Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) was appointed a prison guard in December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54, according to the below personnel record, which was provided to TSG by Jo Ellyn Rackleff, a DoC spokesperson. The rapper’s social security number is identical to that of the jail guard. According to the official document, Ross was earning $25,794.34 when he left the department in June 1997. After graduating from the DoC training academy, Ross was assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County (the lockup is one of three statewide that serves as an intake facility for new prisoners).

I didn’t care that he was a C.O., the Trilla album is still fire but once he once he denied it, it’s only a matter of time before life provides to the proof about who you really are and who knows maybe he did move major weight after he left the force, maybe he made connection with inmates who had connects but you messed up by lying and now you look phony and the greatest rapper alive co-sign you.

Props: The Smoking Gun, making it hard for these rappers.

Last night, I spoke with one of my sources who informed me that this recent publicity stunt launched by Trick Daddy was pre-planned. This stunt has been in the works for a period of time. However, my informant believed that this was “beef” was settled when this stunt wasn’t pulled earlier.

Here is the kicker: the photo of Rick Ross in his work uniform is in need Rick Ross. Now, if you saw the video, which was uploaded to HipHopMusicDotCom.com, Ross explains how ‘disappointing’ it was for this picture to be released. The only way it’s disappointing was because his big boy, boss, was exposed as being a correction officer. Well, folks… it looks like another ‘disappointing’ blow for another ‘d-boi’!

The strange thing is that Rick Ross denied it and there is proof that he was, why lie? I don’t think is matters whether or not you were a C.O. that doesn’t mean you can’t still be a real individual or that you never sold drugs, because trust me I know my share of dirty pigs (I mean cops).

90 percent of all rappers are not real gangsters but I still like there music, it’s usually someone they grew up or someone they heard about in their surroundings that comes across in the lyrics. I think the Trilla album is one of the best albums that came out this year and I knew about the whole C.O. thing along time ago and that didn’t change the opinion of him. Why he’s denying it I don’t know but lets see how this plays out as the evidence continues to rolls in. Maybe it’s all B.S and I was miss informed.

Sidebar:Why is Trick Daddy coming at the new M.I.A. cats he’s responsible for putting these cats on, makes him look like hater.
