You mean someone in Hip-Hop is lying about their past in an effort to gain “street cred?” Shocker…

so what if “the boss” was a c.o., we all know drugs are controlled from the “inside”. what better way to make connection and gain favors. are you guys stupid? if ross was a c.o., he probably got the best prices because he gave a dude some special liberties like letting his girl bring him a ballon. keep pushin ricky ross. while the price of a gram in NY is 32 to 40 dollars, if i was a c.o. at rikers and a cat from washington height could give my a hook-up for 23 a gram for a carton or two squares, can you say come up, id rather be a c.o. with the legal right to carry a GUN selling drugs then the dude on the corner because law enforcement protect their own. ross keep denying because the feds are watching…the jewel is dropped

Ashamed of being a C.O.? Now, if the job was on the up-and-up, he could claim he was proud of his past. There are of lot of men employed as C.O.’s and its no big deal. IF, on the other hand, he was a snitch, or IF he was booted out of the profession for misdeeds, then he would be ashamed. That shoe might fit in this case. And he invites the screw-tiny by being evasive rather than totally honest about it.

gangster gangster why is he lying it makes him look like a fraud or like hes part of gunit.

i don’t have a problem with rick ross, i love his music and his lyrics…we all know rappers exaggerate…he shouldn’t make anymore comments because he is looking more and more stupid…be thankful you had a job…please stop with the lies already!!!

I’ve been tracking this story for a few weeks. Rick Ross’s story doesn’t add up. People defending him are either his “clingers on” trying to save face and protect what money they can, or just simply haven’t thought this through. If he truly was a “boss” why deny the legit gig as a CO. Bottom line, if it’s true you have nothing to hide. Plenty of “ballers, hustlers, and bosses” have held down square jobs, even as ..no don’t say it..police officer. The only people that would react like Bill Roberts AKA “Rick Ross” are people that have no real experience in the game…But hey that new joint with Nina Sky is hot..seriously.

as a C.O. myself it truly bothers me that he would be ashamed of being one if he was simply on the fact if you do your job the right way you will always be able to hold your head up in every neighborhood you visit simply on the fact you just go in to just do your job to the fullest without trying to tear another man down simply because he is locked up will always get you respect aint nothing wrong with being a C.O. if anything it shows that he has a real true to the heart tough simply because you kept your composure around some of the toughest and meanest individuals out there without cracking under pressure you would truly be surprised how soon a person quits simply by being scared to work the job the numbers are amazing only like 1 out of 10 can maintain after one month and they just quit from either being scared or the pressure

OJ didn’t do it!!! Rick Ross is a true gangster!!!

I love my boo Rick Ross!! But it does bother me that he would deny it!! I mean its like you gotta be ashamed to have a decent past! But if he would have killed someone or did time in prison then they would have glorified him for it! Either way i still love his music know more than ever!!

Just because ur a rapper dosent mean u cant hold down a ligit job.
Rather u be a c.o then a murder

He denies it because he claims to have been a drug dealer on the come up, and I quote “I made a couple million dollars last year dealing weight” end quote. It doesn’t matter if you were an alter boy before being a rap star, once you portray a paricular “character” ie: gangster, baller, heart-throb, etc, the consumer expects the artist to live up to that persona.

in his song the boss he talks about he made couple million dollars last year in the street dealing weight instead we find out he was looking over the people dealing weight man this dude needs to just stop and admit it how are you going to deny it and they got pictures but I was never really a huge fan anyway. but in a way i kind of expected it to be like this

Ross is lame as hell just like fake ass plies and fake ass T.I.,and fake ass young buck

THATS THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE EVERYTHING RAPPERS RAP ABOUT IS NOT ALWAYS SOMETHING THEY’VE DONE OR EVEN BEEN THROUGH. THESE ARE JUST SONGS. SOME THINGS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES LIFE IS SOMETIMES BETTER TO HEAR ABOUT. IF I’M JUST AN AVERAGE 9-5 PERSON WITH A JOB AS A SECRETARY NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THAT BUT IF I SOLD DRUGS FAUGHT WITH THE POLICE ETC THATS SOME GOOD STUFF TO HEAR ABOUT. JUST THINK ABOUT IT. ITS JUST LIKE READING A FICTIONAL BOOK. REGARDLESS OF WHAT ROSS USE TO DO HE IS STILL A GOOD RAPPER I LOVE ROSS REGARDLESS….

The problem with hip-hop right now is that people like OFFICER ROSS wants to be a rapper when he is a CO. Either your a born MC or a wanna be. You can’t work as a Corrections Officer then rap to the world about how you sold this and clapped that. You a liar! Its one thing to have a 9-5 like a regular joe but to go from one extreme to the next shows how hip-hop has become nothing but a business and is falling apart as a culture.

The thing is “street cred” has nothing to do with the “hip hop” culture. I remember when “MCs” used to rap about getting out of the illegal life. Now these rappers promote it. (Notice I said “rappers” and not “MCs”) A lot of these cats get in the game without knowing the history. Makes me sick to my stomach to turn on the radio. Just my “two pennies”. I still love the game, just not the part that’s on “MTV” or “BET”. On another note, you can’t get mad at “Rick Ross”. As long as these absent minded fans are buying this stuff, more and more “ringtone studio gangstas” will continue to flood the airwaves, because if you think “Rick Ross” is the only one, you’re sadly mistaken. Either you love it or do something about it. If you don’t have a resolution, let it be and do you. Remember, negative press is better than no press at all…(Hint, hint)

DAMN…WHY CATS BE FRONTIN MANE.. IM SICK OF RAP NOW.. I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO’S WHO ANYMORE. I DON’T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE. BUT WHY DENY IT?? THEY GOT YOUR SOCIAL, YOUR MAMA NAME ON THE C.O. RECORD!!!! THEY GOT THE FLASHLIGHT OUT ON U..!! WOW LONG ARM OF THE LAW, HUH?
FIVE-O….ANYTHING BUT THAT BRUH..
OFFICERS ARE OVERSEERS WIT UNIFORMS ON DO UR F–ING HISTORY ..KRS ONE’S “BLACK COP”…
FUCK THIS SHIT MAN, I CAN’T STAND RAP RIGHT NOW… IM OUTT

I dont understand what the fuck yall are bitching about…he was a C.O. almost 15 years ago, get the fuck over it. It’s a job just like all the others out there. I dont see why yall cry about it, he was trying to make some doe as an adolecent let me the man breath. He might be lying about the “other” life he claimed to live, he may not be lying. Just cuz you a C.O. dont mean you a straight edge dude. I know plenty of C.O.’s and cops, crooked ones ones at that…Dealing this and that, and really living that G life.

In all honesty…I had no clue WHO Rick Ross was until ALL this drama!!! Hey, you either like his music or NOT!!(Milli Vanilli)
I was born in East La,raised in Watts and did 14+ years in the California Department of Corrections…retiring as SERGEANT!
To me the worst part of this whole thing is Rick Ross’ shame!Whatever you choose, REPRESENT with PRIDE…
the Dept OR the STREETS!!!!

rick ross is a fraud cop..lol
he cant buy no weed of me fuck dat

That is kinda smart. It’s seems smarta 2 be a c.o who is protected by da badge and gun, than a regular corner boy dat is not. But still crime dosen’t pay. Do da crime , in da long run, do da time.

There’s something I don’t get.

Why does Rick Ross get “exposed” for being a former C.O., while Ice Cube who graduated from college with a degree in architecture before doing the first N.W.A. album, and whose parents both worked for UCLA, goes by unnoticed?

Because Ice Cube is actually a good rapper. Ross is shit anyway. Same thing with Vanilla Ice, if he could actually rap decently no one would’ve cared that his background was bull.

“working with the police, acting like you know me”Rick Ross is faking, he should of just came clean about being a C.O. Besides it takes a lot of heart, and a big set of balls to even work in a prison. Anyways he’s a hypocrite, and a fake for not being trill(to real)about his past job with law enforcement!

l.i.d boy are you kidding me??
Have you been to prison??

Its the boys inside VS the screws there is no collaboarting and hooking up!

Rick Ross is a piece of shit and if he tours Australia there will be plenty of ‘real’ street cats at his concerts but they wont be there for the music!!

F*CK RICK ROSS!

You can go to college and still be a Gangster. Its plenty of educated thugs. But being a C.O contradicts everything he was rapping about and on top of that he lied about it. So that makes me think he’s Super Fake because if he lied about being a C.O. that proble means everything else is a lie.Ross is a Real life CB4 nigga. A mili vanili gangster. A fraud! LOL

Im a C.O. in Florida. They would not provide any info without written permission from the former or current employee. this rumors evidance is 100 percent fabricated

This whole situation is dumb you mean to tell me u can loose respect for someone because they had to make an honest living back in the day to support their family ” wow” what has this world come to.We are sending the wrong message to our youth by saying its not ok to work at Burger King but it is ok to sell drugs so they can have street cred. What a bright future they will have. LOL

Wanksta is the NEW Gangsta!

Okay,okay…He said he use to be a drug dealer,right?So why is he still walking around talking about the pictures are false,and so is the evidence….His fatass need to be a man, and admit that he was a C.O!!!

This just in: Young Jeezy learned how to read and write!! He’s not hood..he’s a wanksta!!

This is no big deal…the only reason Ross is denying this is for obvious entertainment/monetary value. The fact that he’s lying about it should be the issue if people are that “hurt” about it. Other than that…SO WHAT.

People act as if a C.O. is the law…they’re not police officers..related,yes…but he wasn’t out arresting people..lol..use some thought people.

And if it makes any of you that are so disappointed in him..feel any better: some C.O.’s sell drugs…some C.O’s are gang members…now that’s hustlin. People love to use the term “hustlin” but really don’t have a true feel of what it really means.

Rick Ross should get into politics: “I’m in the White House!”

Nasto blasto isnt a fan of the southern cats makin it is he.

I think we’re all agreed that regardless of whether he could have seemed hard for not quittin, or pig for being one in the first place, the worst thing he could have done is lie.

And i think thats a message we can all instill in our kids, whether future drug dealers or police.

p.s. Ill still play ross. check him out on brown paper bag…fire.

News Flash…ALL RAPPERS LIE. It is entertainment. NONE of this hip hop dudes live like they claim they are living…It would be stupid for them to do so. If I signed a 40 million dollar contract, BEST believe I wouldn’t live in the hood. My children would go to private school, and I would say bye bye to ghetto living. Ross and ALL of these other hip hop cats are phonies. If you are a REAL thug, you don’t need to say it every time you get a chance. I don’t know where you cats are from, but in my hood, the cats who sell “d” are low. They DO NOT announce it. The cats that sold dope back in the day, don’t talk about it or glorify it…Most rappers claim to be street, but in fact, they go against on of the most basic hood principles, Here no evil, see no evil…Real G’s don’t make it out then tell beautiful stories about what they have done…Al Capone didn’t run his mouth about what he did. John Gotti operated under a code of silence. These dudes are fake. ALL OF THEM. Put your favorite rappers name here________, yep, he is full of sh*t too…

who really gives a shit what he was. some rappers are bout it, live the life, write there own shit and actually WERE who they say they are. to think that a person is gonna pump rocks and rap about it at the same time is just ignorant, but that doesnt mean that in there past they didnt do dirt. and as for what “the truth” said, open your fuckin eyes..if u pick out mainstream rappers your obviously gonna get a bunch of pussies. but ur gonna try to tell me that redman didnt live in his house in brick city for years after he was famous. prodigy or havoc beat the shit outta saigon on stage at a concert. cuban link got his face cut wide open in a bathroom at a ts concert. and you mean to tell me these people arent hood? sure most live in nicer areas now but most of them did all they talk in there songs now. i mean did it ever occur to you that maybe they wrote these raps years before they ever even thought about gettin a deal? recognize talent, dont get caught up in all the media bull shit. if u like ross’s raps then listen to them, if not then dont. but if ur not gonna listen to someone just bc of there past then go fuck urself, you dont deserve to hear music.

The only real rapper that have been there and done that on the street is C-murder. All others are just fake azz and nothing more. C-murder was the street and his sales comes from real street dude. Rick Ross is a shame.

some times rapping about what happens in real life gets boring….

Knew a C.O that sold Drugs. Do the Math. How you think locked up G’s without visitations get they dope some times?

Knew a C.O that sold Drugs. Do the Math. How you think locked up G’s without visitations get they dope some times?

fuck all u bitchis talkin shit…and fuck tha police…rick ross is a mean rapper but dat shit bout him bein a c.o dunno bowt dat shit..trick daddy culd b tryna start dis shit like 50 and the unit tried ta say the game was a strippa… anyone seen that clip where glocc 40 n all those crip niggas try ta fuck up lil wayne baby and dem in their excalades after makin got money clip in l.a…uts some buzzin shit dunno if dat true either thou …FUCKEMALL!!!!! SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY!

My man Rick Ross has never been a CO and will never be.Ross.Keep selling drugs and make more music for us.I love you Ross.

What a BIG FAT FAKE!!! His career is done with…LMAO

The thing is in my opinion it does not matter if rick ross was a C O or not but rick claims he is miami’s biggest drug dealer thats funny one question ricky why are you rappin

Also if he was a C O and used that as a front to sell drugs thats cool but your not the biggest drug dealer in miami history nor are you the biggest drug dealer in your neighborhood and to all the rick ross fans his music is cool but he should have admitted it and left it alone 50 cent has power in the industry ask styles P what 50 cent did to him and stopped styles album from being released and they not on the same label lol!

You sorry ass motherfuckers just run your mouth like shits….THA BOSS is DA Boss and that is final…whether he is a cop or a CO doesn’t matters…by the way.if he is one and denying.it is because he doesn’t want to have any present record with the feds or any criminal background act or agent..so leave the fuck him alone…he sips Hennessy at home cooling his heels with his fat customized head pendant..and you say he ain’t a drug dealer??? sure he is on..no doubt..he got the dough and he’s loaded..but nigga tryna keep it cool with himself trust me..so you haters and sorry ass motherfucker..you just get the fuck out now..

You learn who is fake by really listening to what they say and what they do. Rick ross dug himself into a deeper hole by denying allegations before before knowing 50 cents next move. 50’s strategy is more calculated as usual because he dosen’t try to win small battles. He wont shoot at you without aiming. Rick Ross should have known his past would catch up to him. 50 is the type of person you either sidestep, make peace with or fully confront without pause.

I feel The Game was the only rapper to come close to getting past 50 cents armor of intel. Game and 50 are not on the same level but, Game proved he was not like Rick Ross, Fat Joe, or Ja Rule. Anyone who wants 50’s kind of beef should really learn from the man who pretty much by himself put beef on another level (50 cent). 50 wont stop till no one is buying your records, or talking about you. You pretty much dissappear. All the things you hear from Rick Ross does not even make sense. You sell that much drugs and say it on record? You know a real drug lord and say it on a record? Nobody believes you. Funny thing is you might really believe yourself.

There are alot of rappers and singers who rap or sing about things they never done or have enough since to never do so people be for real and come to reality.

4get officer rick ross…u can’t do that shit…went from an officer 2 a gangsta boss rapper…4get that fake ass…he’s a COP>>>>>>

Every last one of ya’ll sum bitches. Let them two mutha fuckas Fight! Don’t nann of ya’ll mutha fuckas know Gorilla or Boss Rhino can’t ya’ll see that this is a fucking Circus. Ya’ll some dick ridaz and don’t even know who flooding your own block. Every rappa is Liar. Rapping is an art of telling and fantasizing hood stories. The best even exaggerate…Jay Z, Scareface, Bun B, 2Pac, Biggie, Big Pun….I’m from Little Haiti and we gone show ya’ll sum trill music in the near future…Ya’ll leave that nigga Boss Rhino alone at least the nigga got street credits. Some of these studio gangsta’s couldn’t even bust a grape in a fucking fruit fight.

What everyone has to understand is that Rick Ross is talking about the life of the Ricky Freeway Ross. It is he who really did all that Rick Ross is saying. Rick Ross is just rapping on his behalf. But now Ricky Freeway Ross is outta jail, maybe he’ll pick it up himself…

The fact that Rick Ross was a C.O doesnt mean anything.We all know crooked cops dont we? On the other hand the fact that he denies it may be a reason to question how much if his life is true!At the end of the day the Boss makes good music.And the fact that he may have been a C.O actually would have been a great way for a hustler to grind under the radar.A bit safer than standing on the corner dont you think?

a man for all these stupid comments about that it was smarter
for rick ross to be a co. to help him sell drugs is funny to me yes we all know of croked cops but they still addmit they were/are cops!!! reguardless of rick ross being a co witch is bad enuff being that he allways raps about haveing homeboyz locked up im guessing in florida & him self shooting people & pitching coke
the thing that people should be up set about is hes lieing about
ever being a co, whats the big deal if he just would addmit it but its this bs of him lieing about it when facts are pileing up ageainst him that is bring up his credabilty as a rapper!!! & hes not telling storys about freeway ricky ross hes acting like he was him at one time i mean like he the rapper rick ross sold that much coke in his lifetime…

Prisoners call CO’s boss. Idiots! Ricky ross will tell you that.remeber your I’m the biggest boss. Just some of real thugs who do know that side of the law know he’s still a pig in any kind of police officer uniform.so get it right wannabes.remeber you take a oath to be a cop.he’s still a pig oink oink!!!

I got a couple more things to say. I Apologies for the misspelling in the first comment.But now for some real truth about CO’s there all pricks sometimes they hold grudges against fools. Ricky ross is a cop he can say anything he wants. But a real g. Would keep it gangsta and admit it. He knew this will destroy him. Now he looks like a lier. Ain’t that right boss. This time next year I’ll finsh my eleven year parole and another pig(rick ross) will be out of a job. Boss! Need me do anything eles boss before I lock down boss. Remember that boss. We the oink oink!!!!! A cop is a cop people. Wake up.

Rick Ross is a straight scram no one fucks wit anyone affiliated wit the police the fact he aint acknowledgin that he was one makes the case that much stronger that he hung around in dade county jail listenin to real thugs rhyme what they rhymed about an prolly jacked all they shit an got rich off it, i only hope that its the other way around, they played him made him to it kidnapped his momma untill he dropped a hundred stacks in all they canteens nahmean but fo real he juss bit of all them o.g. lifers so muthafuck rick ross he aint a boss he a bitch let him come round the latin kings i kno an claim he a king watch how quick he get gun down real talk

dude, he is making hits right now, he was 19 at the time of him being a CO, shit changes. he is an talented rapper and is making hits, 50 did this beef cuz he saw that…50 wasnt on top cuz he fell off in 2005…..ross is boss

50 didnt even start they beef dumb ross did

in is song he mentions i know pablo and noreaga pablo escobar died in the early 90s

It real crazy, when i hear pple still talk bout the `boss`.em brushed-out cats are always outta to tarnish the kinda image u ve made for yaself either he is an ex-co is no one`s fuckin biz,wat shit em niggaz know bout u, will be used in credin uuu,or not. everyone has a past and we always tryna exxaggerate to no minimal sense.if i ever told u i wash plate rounda clock at some lowly rated motels aint u suckaz gon spit that shit in ma face someday either am out there as a boss.so!!!!! lets stop this shit.we are rappers we exxagerate a lot, just like em oda cats in the game.wat Tu- said bout his X-bout with faith is wat asssholex ————— telleme
my stage sounds much like ross gat a vagabond sign which is the sideburn but for sure we gatta plans.. fifty gatta no game he aint gat a shit, dnt even like im back wit kanye who sounds more sensible..i never knew wat 50 is been talkin bout in his songs he is just a luckywack dude unlike THE GAME tell me aint ross tighter than fifty thats the nu-controversy byeeee

Doesn’t really matter what he did before, when he was 19. I knew of real estate guys, mortgage brokers and big business owners moving major weight, not your bullshit rocks and 40 sacks, but container loads. And when they win, they win big, and they do it over and over again. So maybe he started in prison movin rocks to junkies, then one day met a connected guy who hooked him up hard, like big time, when you start wholesaling its a whole new world kiddies, then maybe he had some cake and started rappin for fun. Who knows for sure, but the only thing I don’t like is lying about it after the fact. Thats a bitch move and ruins credibility.

$hit i dnt kno w@t d@ fuck 2 $@y.but da realist nigga iz soulja slim r.i.p. ross i still dig yo music jus cant trust ya.palm beach county fuck ya

The Album isn’t bad. It isn’t great either. A few solid tracks, a few ok tracks, a few garbage tracks. Definately not a album u need to run to the stores for, but overall, not a bad effort. This album is not a tradional Miami album. Definately has a northeast sound.

50 never fell down in 2005, and it was ross who started the beef and 50 will finish it he always does look at how ross is doing now hes going down the drain soon he will be chillen with ja-rule cause both thease bitches suckkk!

G-unit for life

FUCK ROSS

One wo ever on here that is down with 50 kick rocks .50 mad because he is a loser and he losed his touch , 50’s the real cop (only cops record people) remember the bullshit he pulled with buck. Rick Ross I fucks with new rapper trying to grow, what smart rapper is still selling, many if any. all the dumbs end up in jail, for doing the dum shit. Who gives a fuck if he was a CO, My step dad is a CO in of the top jails in Jersey and mad people give that man his respect, so stop being haters, and give that man his credit. HATERS NEVER WANT PEOPLE DOING BETTER THEM GIVE UP 50 YOU NOT HOT

The fact that Rick Ross was a CO isn’t what’s effed up. It’s the fact that he didn’t admit to it when first asked that ain’t cool. I know all these rappers ain’t lived the lives they claim. There is often poetic license taken when writing any song, rap or otherwise. But to flat out lie and deny it’s you when you’re confronted with a picture of yourself is a bitch ass move. Then he finally wants to admit it when the proof stacked up higher than Erkels pants. He lost mad respect from ME. He could have admitted it from the get go and saved himself a lot of embarassment and back peddling. He should be proud he had a job at some point. You can work and still sell drugs. One doesn’t negate the other. The most successful drug dealers are the ones with jobs which help cover up their other “activities”. Just be who you are!

rick ross can be my lady and my lover, come here, gimmie a kiss…you fake ass fat phoney, as pac would say

Just dont lie. A Man only has his word!

You all act like everything rappers say is supposed to be true. When the fuck is it ever true? 90% of the time it’s all bullshit, and they don’t care because they know stupid asses like you eat it up like pussy. Who cares if he was a CO or not, he’s still a fat slob.

Another modern day studio Gangster gets paid.

When will people stop buying the bullshit and feed the hiphop artists that actually speak about some real shit.

You got niggas like Rick Ross glorifying selling dope to his own people, popping caps at his own people, and making money off his own people. How ignorant does this shit sound? And you wonder why we always on the headlines?

Another house nigga gets paid for dancin jigs and selling out his soul for the almighty dollar. Rick Ross is just as guilty for selling this bullshit as the dumb niggas that buy it. Stupid niggas. When will you ever learn.

People need to put real shit in the deck.

J-Dilla Rest in Peace
