William Leonard Roberts II born January 28 1976 better known by his stage name Rick Ross is a manufactured gangsta rapper
He graduated high school went to college and spent a year at the historically black college Albany State University in Albany Georgia studying criminal justice
Then trained and passed as a CO William worked as a CO for 18 months
Had a clean record untill January 2008
Ross agreed to perform a wide range of correctional officer duties including shoot an inmate attempting to escape
These online hackers putting a picture of my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples body I’m in the entertainment business
or think of it this way. What if a c.o came into hiphop right now and started putting out all this gangster inspired music. would you? buy it? no of course not. the fact that ross already had an established career kind of helped him in a way.
Oh. . .there goes Meek using the same lines over and over again! -_____- I didn’t like him before the record deal and I don’t like him now. He won’t last long in this business. The underground hip-hop is for him. That is all.
Hating on Rick Ross is so old. Makes you look like bitter ol Jay Z hating on Chris Brown at the 2011 VMA Awards. Same Jay talking about Black unity on Murder to Excellent. When you see me, see you. No Jay, when I see you , I see a hater with big lips. Everyone done forgave Chris Brown, only you bitter, shrunken old ass self be in the same spot hating on the lil dude. Shit even Rihanna added him on Twitter. Unless you is fucking her Jay, I see no reason for you to be mad, you old ass shrunken hating man.
Now back to the matter at hand, still saying you cannot listen to RIck ROss is a played excuse and truthfully you missing out on some great shit. Yes, he was a CO but the point of music is to spin stories even if these stories are not yours but you tell them. Well, Ricky tells some good ass stories and in infinitely more interesting ways than your favourite rapper. Shit in a way he makes it cooler to listen to rap. He has consistently improved right from his first album to Teflon Don. The fact that he was a Co only meant he was exposed to more criminals and he knew their stories and he has successfully woven this into great rap with banging backdrops. He is no different to Lawyers who having been exposed to different cases write fictional books and sell these books. John Grisham being a very good example. I don’t see people running around saying John Grisham used to be a Criminal lawyer so you do not believe his stories.
If by now you run around believing half of all you hear in rap is the truth, then you really are a idiot.
The only thing I believe in rap is when real raich ass rappers brag about their wealth because that is actually true. They have made the money and this is how the spend it. Kanye, Jay – wearing a $400 Don C snakeskin Snapback, shit is true. You see them wearing it. I believe that haha.
Live life.
Apologies for the rolling chain of grammatical errors in my last comments. Sometimes, one gets a bit worked up about these ignorant comments.

Go sit the fuck down somewhere spewing such idiotic toilet logic. Never heard a dumber analogy smh.
Does anybody else care that aside from dropping the same kind of mind-numbing tracks, Ricky and his crew of idiots are also illiterate? Is he “a boss” where the song title should then be “I’m A Boss” or is he going to boss (IMA has always been short for I’m gonna, am I right?), which, by the way, should never be a verb, but I guess if anyone can pull off that kind of nonsense, it is Ross. ANYONE?
@Actual/Factual
Actually, seems like your logic is lacking. That was a perfect analogy. He’s an entertainer. It’s an image, and he’s putting on a show. You’re an idiot if you think even half of what he said was true and that he personally knew Noreaga and Noreaga owed him favors. You’re an absolute retard. But it’s pretty intelligent to tell someone they’re wrong without pointing out exactly why, right?
@LVCHead1954
A number of things are wrong in your analogy as stated below:
1.)John Grisham does not deny being a trail lawyer, nor does he deny writing fictional stories about his courtroom inspired criminal muses. 2.) Also John Grisham is not out in the public promoting a false lifestyle and a stolen legacy from real gangsters who put in work and either died or went to jail for their malfeasance as being the truth. 3.) John Grisham is not nor has he gone in front of impressionable youth and claim that he was something he’s not other than a fictional author.
Now compare these assertions I just made against the Man known as “Rick Ross”.. wow
new songs..

Wasn’t there already a video for this track? Niggas recycling a hit on some Black & Yellow shit lol they prolly gon shoot a new video for the remix with Tip and Hov too.
@ Airborne
Nobody said Rick Ross’ stories were believable. No, no one believes them. But to say being a CO ended up being a study project for fuel to becoming Mr. M.I. Yayo “for great rap with banging backdrops” is ridiciulous and a stretch in comparison to lawyers in the actual field of what they are writing about, when Rick Ross himself said it was just a job period which is it all it was with no correlations to his rap career. Grisham = actual criminal lawyer which serves as the backdrop for the stories he writes. Rick Ross is just a fucking rapper with a stolen rap name of a real coke dealer. What “image” is Grisham portraying? what “show” is he putting on and how does that compare? Where the fuck is anyone talking about truth to Rick Ross knowing Noriega? Please you’re the one making it look easy to tell someone their wrong with no basis for doing so.
and @BLACK GOD hit it on the nail as well, shit probably made a better a point than I did. Using that analogy to add legitimacy to an entertainment is dumb. Period. If the “exactly why” doesn’t jump out to you than you are dumb. Period.
@BlackGod, thanks for putting your point so eloquently across unlike some. I totally understand your point of view. Mine stems from the fact that both Joh Grisham and “Rick Ross” are peddling work of arts based on their experience. Difference is John Grisham puts his on paper, Ross puts his on paper and transfers it into music which obviously reaches a lot of people especially impressionable young kids. Now this is where I expect parents to intervene and to a large extent, I expect people to take responsibilities. I have been listening to rap music from a very early age and I knew very well what most of these guys rapped about was fantasy. They are just painting fictional pictures. Just like Slick Rick did, Rick Ross is doing. Any adult believing whatever rick ross is saying is silly and frankly very stupid. If he really was what he purported himself to be, would he still be on TV, I think not. I am pretty sure, some government organisation would have picked him up by now. Which lends credence to the fact that even they recognise this guy is just painting fictional pictures. I never for once believed that “Hustling” song, neither do I believe any lyrics on “I’m A Boss”.
What I do like is like John Grisham spins good stories based on his background, Ricky does the same, albeit not on the same quality standard but Ricky has done well so far compared to some of these sub par gangsta rappers trying to do exactly that.
Niggaz really are retarted,, hes not recyclin the first video was an underground video,, the second is the official …. N he wasnt the only rapper to that..
None of you people know Ross or have ever met him first of all but if your mad that he was a CO then I understand cause I myself felt the same way when it came out. My thing is this, when are you gonna let it go? And have you heard the saying that real recognize real? Alot of people say other people are fake when their actually real and what I mean is if were talking music then there is no way possible to really know if what he’s saying is real or not. Im talking about the person cause Ross calls himself a boss , now is that a real statement or not? Ross been talking about the same things his whole career now is that real or not? Ross says he’s self made now is that real or not? As for the CO thing I personally dont understand it because I dont know nothing about being a CO but Ross was 19 when he took that job so if your put yourself in a 19 years old mind state for a second you’ll see that most cats that age dont have jobs like that so the fact that he got that kind of job at such a young age shows me that he must have been a focused person. Now going from a CO to a drug kingpin is an extreme change but is it possible that he was both at the same time? Nobody will ever know except the people that really know him but it is possible that he was working in the prison system but still living in the ghetto around the drug business and some where down the line he got involved. Lastly I think people always forget that one person can have multiple personalities and most people change through out the course of life. So its very possible that Ross had a different life plan 15 years ago but he changed, so is that not real? Just some shit I was thinking cause I dont know Ross I just take the music for what it is.
@lookatmenow it was a behind the scenes of the making of this video. good try tho.
MMG is one of the hottest labels right now. They have potential with Wale Meek Mill Stalley and Rick Ross. They putting out music people can relate to in the hood and those in college can relate too with people like Stalley and Wale. Rick Ross has worked hard every bit of the way taking all criticism and just doing him. I have so much respect for MMG their music and Rick Ross.
@Velmer
thats not how the english language works buddy.
the songs name is “I’m A Boss” NOT “Ima Boss”, take out the conjunction and it becomes “I Am A Boss”. Get your backwards ass out of here.
Only reason this song is relevant is because T.I bout to jump on it
@ marty mcfly
I met Ross in vegas and beyond this rap shit he’s actually a cool cat. Not long enough to know his life of course, but nonetheless a cool cat. I don’t think anybody was mad at him for being a CO, at least not anybody in any of these comments. Shit I wasn’t mad when it came out that he was either. I know a few cats from the streets that wish they would’ve done something in law enforcement of some kind, but were too busy worrying about the stigma that any kind of uniformed job has in the streets and amongst their peers, but now got records and can’t even think about those types of jobs. At the end of the day its just rap. Muthafucka watched TV, seen a persona, watched scarface-esque movies, came across books on gangsters/drug dealers, watched gangster rappers before him, probably was involved in a little street shit, etc., and began to rap. His perspective is no different than a young jeezy, just a little more mafioso these days i guess. He ain’t interviewing criminals to write his raps, and taking trips on boats with coke dealers isn’t apart of his def jam deal in the form of research expenses. He’s just a rapper man, fuck the bullshit analogies just keep it in the rap context. That’s what’s wrong with rap fans today. The music don’t ever turn off for them.
