Ross seems like a humble individual and I'd like to collab on a song with him.

you know what... I've never been a person to say what someone should or shouldn't do but got damnit man i'm sick of people i know getting "RICH" off the dope game and thinking that sh*t is cute and continuing to live that life and not trying to wash that bread man ugggghhhh but after listening to that prodigy song "The Life" i kind of understand why some people just keep living "the life" cause "the violence dont stop the beef dont cease the money keep coming the paper increase the gun fire dont end the people stay dying so i'mma keep living the life you damn right" f*cked up cause imagine if someone of great influence to people in the street just stood up and said lets stop glorifying this life and take this sh*t over imagine where we would be man... the youth in this country they're in a f*cked up place right now, doing all these damn drugs, eating all this processed food, following these knuckle heads blindly, killing people, dropping out of school, drug dealing, drug using, alcohol abusing, domestic violence, unprotected sex, mental illness, materialism and apathetic mindsets... sh*ts f*cked up man... i'm afraid for the future...

but i cant fault anyone for "getting it how they live" i guess... who am i to judge i'm just saying sh*t is f*cked up and its not cute... for every good there is a bad yin and yang i know how it goes but it seems in our society the crazy sh*t outweighs the positive ish...

what does this have to do with this interview... i dont know a cord was struck i guess... anyway much success to Rick Ross in all the positive things he does...

It's all entertainment...I mean dude may have seen some things, who knows...It don't really matter what he saw if the music ain't hot...I seen his house on cribs too and it was aight for a rapper, but it wasn't a fortress or anything...it was a cozy though...lol

Boobie is a murderer; that man terrorized Opa Locka, Carol City and Liberty City. I have NO RESPECT for anyone for him or on his "team." ALL OF THE BOOBIE BOYS are dead or in jail (none are rapping, so William was a tag-a-long). There is no glory in that life, trust me, I have no father because of it. And I am about damn tired of this dude and the like thinking that they are doing good by Miami by shouting out murderers and dope dealers as f***in inspiration! Wyclef was right about you at Wildsplash, William, it don't take a 2 pt series to see that.

Note to all: Miami has issues, and they are nothing to brag about. We are the damn First 48 every other episode, and it seems to be getting worse. But TRUST AND BELIEVE, we are like any other city. We work, we go off to college, we raise our kids, we fight like hell for our rights down here, and we stand together when it is time. There are always that few trying to make change happen! You wanna see the REAL about the other side of the bridge? Don't google Boobie, good riddens to his a**, he should be UNDER FDC! Google LIFFT of Liberty City, Liberty Square Housing Project association, Miami Edison student protest of 2/28/08, FANM Haitian Women of Miami, PowerU of Overtown, Miami Workers Center, Take Back the Land, McDuffie riots of Overtown, Historic Lyric Theatre and Village of Overtown, Miami en Accion, Uncle Al's Peace in Da Hood project. It ain't all dope and guns!

hip hop needs real change and a new perspective. We have gotten caught up in this era of drug dealing and hustling being cool. You don't have to do that to be cool or hip hop. That's why I mess with my man Mekka Don. He's a smart young brother who still reps the culture but doesn't try to portray someone he's not.

Check the reality show...

He sounds like a decently cool dude in the interviews as far as some of the shit he says and the way he speaks, but I agree with some of these comments. The fact that this drug dealing shit aint cool. People like Rick Ross and Young Jeezy keep reppin how real they are and that they're trying to motivate young, desperate cats in the streets, but how are you gonna do that by playing up drug dealing?? Maybe I'm contradicting myself too, cause I like the music, but at the same time I just feel like these guys aint bein THAT real about it. I'm not denying his life that he claims cause I dont know him, but I'm sure these guys can express more of the hood in it's totality and with more balance. Most of the music is just bragging about how much drugs they sold and how gangsta they are.

Mz Dade I appreciate your comments and am sorry for your loss. i think we tend to take rappers and entertainers out of context.

RIck and other "gangsta" rappers speak to a certain type of individual that came from that life, fortunately i dont have a record, but i have been in situations that i could have easily been locked or dead. Alot of friends however werent fortunate like that. Have you ever tried to get a job with 1 or two felonies? it is damn near impossible unless you want to make 10-20 dollars an hour at 30 years old. it is very hard to live like that. he is showing that demographic that it is possible to have that hustler mentality and turn it into profit legally

not every brotha can quote langston hughes and give a power point presentation on the last quarters earlings to the CEO

So while I do agree with you, you have to just take it light with these rappers and whatnot ,variety is the spice of life, while some spit knowledge other spit "mood music" whether its dance, gangsta, or rideout.

Great post Mz_DadeCounty!

Opalocka, I agree with you on a lot of your points, but not totally on the money comment. If you put yourself in a position to only make $10-$20, you have to make it do what it do. And then work towards making a better way for yourself. Especially at 30!

Good comments by both though!

lol, just because you go to jail doesnt mean you put in more work or have more street cred than the next man, I dont understand why niggas think that.

to me it means either you were unlucky or dumb while doin what you did, that doesnt give you more stripes than the nigga that did his thing in a smart way

re: Rick Ross: The AllHipHop Interview, Pt. 2

Good look at posting up the other side of the game, where real peoples lives get affected. People place too much emphasis on one person's twisted perspective not realizing that person is an Artist/Actor who can paint a semi fictional picture

Mz_DadeCounty — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:17:21 GMT

opalockareppa, I feel you hometeam because I have seen how hard it is for brothas to make the turnaround...it is NOT, however, impossible. You have to be determined to be a stand-up man, your family and responsibilities are the most important thing...so if you better make the most of $9 p/hr if that's your option. This type of man is not who I was speaking of. That "Boobie" era ruined lives and tore up the streets and there are alot of people dead or in jail for the rest of their natural lives behind it...that is not admirable in my eyes. I am pretty sure the family of the 5 yr old child who WOULD HAVE been a teenager by now, but was killed in a crossfire of that mess (google THAT) probably is not one of those people Ross speaks of that are "so happy" he came out with this ignorant a** movie. I understand the music aspect of what you said, I don't like listening to we are the world sh** all the time either. But if he's trying to portray the "reality", he need to tell it all, pretty and ugly. My guess is Ross just tryin' to line his pockets and build his lil street cred.

Thank you Scott Scotch, Hypnotice and opalockareppa for understanding where I'm coming from. Too many people call it "hatin' " or whatever, I'm just speakin' my mind.
