With regard to not getting any Grammy nominations, Rick Ross has elected to take the high road.
Despite the success of the gold-certified Teflon Don, the Miami lyricist garnered no nominations from the Recording Academy.
“Everybody that was nominated this year for the Grammys, I congratulate them, and I feel like everyone deserve it,” said Ross in an interview with MTV News.
“As far as me, I feel like it’s just something else for me to work towards, you know, if that’s something that I’m really, really trying to achieve,” added Ross, giving a positive spin on the matter.
Watch the interview below:
If you make untruthful music that doesn’t pertain to your actual lifestyle then you deserve nil as far as awards go.
yeah ricky rosSISSAY just playn wit people. This ngga aint nothing he be rappin bout. Yeah he might smoke/drink liquar n shit but naw it aint nothing hard about him. Gon head nad have puffy dance in one of your videos and for once make a 1X album 🙂 and to his fans umad
lulz this fat nigga is a sore looser
how is he sore tho. i swear some of yall are so retarded.
Good reaction. He’s right to not hate, that’s bad Kharma!
I Remeber this dude walked out when he was supposed to perform after losing some award to eminem & rihanna a couple weeks ago… but here he is just because it’s MTV he is “giving a positve reaction” fake fuck’r
actually his walking out had nothing to do with the award. Sorry. do some research
oh shit.. my bad.. naw im not interested in research’n things rick ross did.. i just saw this headline and remeber’d hiphopdx. posted that other article earlier.. i just resaid what they posted ya kno..
https://hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.12972/title.rick-ross-protests-soul-train-awards-loss-to-eminem
Haha, please yo, Ross is fucking garbage. If you nominate him for a grammy, might as well nominate Soulja Boy.
Oh you know what? Nevermind. A quick check in Wiki told me Soulja WAS nominated for a grammy. So yeah, give Ross one- obviously that award don’t mean shit anyway.
HAHAAHAHA CO-SIGN !!!!!! LMAO !!! I cant sit and listen to that dude yo #RealTalk
Yo, Gucci Mane will sweep the Grammys this year. Lemonade and Gucci Time are the diamond selling singles. Listen to Gucci!
LMAO, Gucci’s wack.
WACK AS FUCKK !!!!! i dont care what anybody says !!! LAME !!
but who is you?
The grammy’s don’t fuck with co’s or people that talk about , cocaine in every song or people that think they big meech and larry hoover
Yeah they Grammys do fuck with people that use to talk about , cocaine in every song and his name is Jay-Z!
Really wierd, isnt it Officer Ricky? You didnt make the ‘Sexiest man alive’ – Nobel prize or Oscar nomination neither… Listen, you’re not Tony Montana, you’re not a talented artist and yur’ just not price winning material.. The list of things you are is too fat.. euh long to post here.. f8&^ing 5-0
Since when is Ross a lyricist?! Also, since when is not getting nominated for an award a snub? I thought the music had to be…good.
well, in this day and age of the music industry, he did go gold…I’m just sayin’….
Sean W.
You’re right man, just shows you the state of music these days and what kind of trash consumers will buy. At least we still have Cee Los and Eminems holdin it down.
He has never and will never be a lyricist. Sadly the music in this generation has been so dumbed down that even garbage ass rappers feel like the music world owes them something. If Officer Rossifer would have come out in the early 2000’s he would have been laughed at with those garbage ass lyrics. These days he is considered the man.
lmao this guys thinks he’s getting snubed… common are you serious if no one is nominating you for any award is cuz you SUCK not cuz your getting snubed you just SUCK
Rick Ross thinks he deserves a Grammy nomination? For what? BMF? Aston Martin Music? Of course, Soulja Boy was nominated for Best Rap Song last year…so why not? Ross would have to get his fat ass on the stage with a motorized wheelchair anyway, and that would just be embarrassing.
How is ross even still around with his history, everything about him is fake and he still go gold. God i miss the 90s. Pz.
The same reason why Dr.Dre is around after Eazy-E showed off those photos of him wearing pumps mascara and lipstick with the World Class Wrecking Crew. They both made a persona that people can follow. Dr.Dre didn’t even grow up in Compton but claimed it as his hometown.
I respect that. Kanye would’ve acted like a total fag if his garbage wasn’t nominated.
How can you not at least nominate this man for a Grammy!!?? Seriously, who had a better album this year then Ross other than MAYBE Kanye?? And thats definitely arguable. Fuck the grammys tho. Its just a bunch of pompous arrogant white people handing out trophies that are full of themselves and are happy to know that you look their opinion as having so much value! The REAL hood knows whos the best. Fuck what THEY think!
who had a better album than Ross?
the Roots
Big Boi
Nas & Damian Marley
Kanye
r.pgh
U ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Don’t forget about Freeway and Jake One with the Stimulus Package!
kanye
jigga
the roots
eminem
drake
raekwon
anything j. cole dropped
lloyd banks
lupe fiasco (EOTS mixtape)
black milk
cee-lo
AZ (and it was a re-release and still hotter)
shall i continue?
you do know the committee that handles the hiphop nominations is majority black people, right?
relection eternal- revolutions per minute
fuck the grammys no 50 tyson??????
He’s only 16 give 50 Tyson some time he’ll get there. Next year he’ll be…..remix
Rick Ross thinking he should be nominated for a Grammy is almost as stupid as Rick Ross thinking he is Big Meech and Larry Hoover. He should make a song that says I think I’m Dick Tracy, John Mcclane. Catching criminals, that my daily thang. Fat loser.
LOL. THATS FUNNY YO.
Dont worry Rick im sure you will get an oscar award for best actor of the year!! What was that movie you were in, oooh now i remember, it was called ”teflon don” haha
im glad this nigga is a realist, his album was good but grammy good? get the fuck outta here…the grammys are mostly a joke any goddamn ways but there were at least 15-20 albums and mixtapes better than his shit…
this just in!!!
Rick Ross isnt that good
telfon don and distant relatives should of get at LEAST 1 nomination… this i bull shit man,,, at least nominate BMF, damnnnn
He hates life
Hell if this fool want a grammy he better do some of that of that hip pop stuff he better call Justin timberlake ,the B-E-P’s or Justin bieber
shiiit he should not worry the grammys are a joke anyways
how much more of an of industry BITCH can this nigga be?? the grammys??? fuck the grammys and ross’ music. fuck all mainstream music in general.
Have to agree the Grammy awards are a pure joke.. Whoever the committee is they all need to be fired. And not just about Rick Ross but the overall nods in general
I’m sorry but even Young Jeezy was nominated for Lose My Mind ft Plies… Do you think that was better than Ashton Martin Music… Or do you think Jay-Z on to the next one was better…. I however don’t.. Aston Martin music boo booed on bothnof those songs … The Grammys are a popularity contest which is why Tupac doesn’t have one… He was hated… 75 million albums sold and zero grammies… Hell even Coolio has a Grammy
Let me say that again… Coolio has a Grammy .. Tupac doesn’t … And u trust this organization
preach my nigga!!!
Man fuck that shit, Katy Perry & Eminem for best album of the year. Those albums was straight garbage. Rozay album was way better than the fuckin Recovery bullshit. Most niggas recognize that shit. Rozay didn’t sell out to the pop masses like Shady did thats why the nigga got nominated. And to think this nigga Em used to talk bout hatin the grammys and shit and now the nigga sold out his art form for a fuckin award.
Teflon Don >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Recovery
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recovery >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Teflon Don
Like Chief Wiggum was any good?! fuck outta here
teflon don should have been up for it its the album of the year!!!
Rick Ross sucks, I dont care what it sold, your biggest hit on the record is called “MC Hammer”……GTFOH , just be happy theres a few ignorant people in the world left to keep in you in buisness.
The day they Give Rick Ross a grammy, they might as well and go ahead and give “Attack of the killer tomatos” an Oscar
Mc hammer is no where near his biggest hit it’s not even the best song on the cd .. You can’t pick and choose which song you want to bash completely ignoring the good ones.. And plenty of terrible people have a Grammy including mc hammer dumbass
MC Hammer made great albums in his early years. Not every rap album is about the block dude.
Who said it had to be gangster music … I’m not even a gangster .. I was just pointing out the fact that the Grammys rarely get it right
why the FUCK! should this fake dude get any kind of an award.
NAS AND DAMIAN MARLEY deserve a grammy more then drake, kathy perry lady gaga and rick ross combined. for the outstanding and uplifting album like Distant Relatives. its the best of the year.
its a shame how fucked up the music idustry is nowadays where artists can’t get credit for the ART and quality music then live for. while people who make music for money get recognition. smh
Did this dude really just say K’Naan is a “pop act sell out”? I’m going to pull a SNL here and just “REALLY?!” Get the fuck out of here
STFU
wow this ignrant piece of sh1t. ive seen alot of people care about Distant Relatives just not enough of them have heard it yet (just like you. you neer heard it but you hate it anyway) people who bought it agree ITS THE BEST AKBUM THIS YEAR!!! its Nas best lyrically since STILLMATIC nigga. the rest of your ost sounds dumb/ kill yourself if you hate positivity.
You guys suck… More Nas stans who buy into every album. If K’naan is not a sellout, why the fuck would they remix Wavin’ Flags ten different times with Drake, Justin Bieber, all those other Canadian pop act has beens, Will.I.Am and David Guetta? Stop defending him plus he’s hardly a rapper. He’s like Drake but only known for the World Cup song. I’ve heard it’s trash. Damien Marley is nowhere good as his father or his brothers. Overhyped and overplayed with that Jamrock crap. Nas is way overrated. Ether was childish (Gay-Z? Cock-A-Fella? A 15 year old Jedi Mind Tricks Fan would say shit like that)… I want Nas of Illmatic and It Was Written where he put his heart and soul in his music. Nas is like Linkin Park’s new album. Flopped big time because of lack of promotion but it was because both were wack. That’s why you have Kanye still making relevant music but listen to guys like Lowkey or Immortal technique. Nas is done.
I’m down wit the nigga Nas but distant relatives sucked and is the most overrated piece of garbage this year. Nas still be good but that distant relatives was ass. Damian Marley fuckin sucks. it wasn’t even the best hip hop album that came out during that period. Fuck outta here.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Selling out is usually defined as an artist lowering their creative standards in hopes of getting money/fame. Since ‘Wavin Flag’ was written solely as a song for his album then later picked up as one of the songs for the World Cup, how does that make K’Naan a sell out? I agree that the Canadian & will.i.am/David Guetta remixes were less than subpar but they were done after the original song. And tell me, how does letting another artist of a different genre remix your song make you automatically fall into that genre? K’Naan is a rapper. Just because some Pop artists were on remixes of his song does not make him a Pop artist.
I’LL BE COMPLETELY HONEST: I haven’t heard a Grammy worthy Hip-Hop album since GRODT. Was it even nominated? And if you don’t think that album was a massive success critically and sales wise you’re delusional.
You sound like such a dumbass. GTFOH. get rich or die tryin’ was great. every kanye album, every lupe album, every jay album, Blu album, Chamillionaire’s ultimate victory, the gangrene Gutter Water album, all three blackalicious albums, the crown city rockers album One, the gift of gab solo albums, mos def’s newest cds, every album by talib kweli, were better that GRODT. Sorry man. It was a great album for 2003. that’s it.
As corny as he can be, 50 Cent is the only real goon in the Music industry. Other rappers hate him but none of them ever said he was fake.
The always say artist should make positive music in todays society etc etc, when two great artist finally goes and make a exceptional album it doesnt get dominated. IM TAKING ABOUT DISTANT RELATIVES, theses people are a joke, katy perry? damn..looks like em gonna win this one
The Grammy’s are a process like everything else, meaning sometimes they get it right, sometimes wrong. Point being, Ross had a shitty album, so there’s no conspiracy here Bawse. It’s the cold truth…. You aren’t respected within the industry.
He didn’t even go platinum, at least when 50 and Ja went at it they were putting out multi-platinum albums. He barely went gold and Diddy is his manager. Hot beats but nothing NEW as far as lyrics.
at least the Grammys are doin what every hip hop fan SHOULD be doin and ignoring officer ricky.
I can’t comment on how good or bad the fat fuck’s album was because I didnt fucking buy it or listen to it.
fuck you nigga , and you better suck ma dick instead of hatin on the $100 mill boss

Dude’s music has no artistic Merit whatsoever, he shouldnt be nominated for awards with songs like “Blowin Money Fast” and “MC Hammer”, dude raps about the same shit everyone else does, if your gonna nominate him might as well nominate Gucci Mane, Waka Flaka, Soulja Boy and every other mediocre Dumbfuck passin themself off as an MC
yo if u think this “ANUS” dude is pissnig you off click here

I don’t know why people are clamoring over the gotdamn grammys. Don’t expect anything decent to come from these elitist pricks. This is the same crowd that gave the win to P.Diddy instead of the Wu more than 10 years ago.
“It’s nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don’t honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It’s the music business celebrating itself.”
Officer Willie L. Roberts II aka Imposter Rick Roass is at it again!!! One-day he wanna-be Rick Ross, then John Gotti, then Albert Anestia, then King Larry, then Big Meech, I wonder why he don’t want to be himself Officer Willie L. Roberts II from he South Florida Department of Corrections! This compulsive-lying-@ss Pig got some nerve but hey if this is what his fans like/allow then…
Roberts is flaw as f*ck he always trying hard to be extra, hes only average rapper with a avg resume! Jeezy got 3 PLATINUM albums on DEFJAM!!! Roberts DOESN’T even have 1 after 4-5 albums on DEFJAM!!!
I don’t even have to speak on da streetz, on da truth b/c Big Meech already did that on Jeezy’s “The Real BMF” s go take a listen to what Meechie had to say over the phone from prison about Jeezy vs these Imposters like Roberts out here runnin’ round!!!
if an award show gives their best rap album to diddy instead of WU-TANG CLAN, it aint worth takin seriously
When you look at the styles/types of rap nominated then Ross should be there for sure. They could just get rid of The Roots’ nomination and put Ross in and just call it “Best Commercial Rap Album” category. Then have a REAL rap/hip hop category with-
Distant Relatives – Nas & D Marley
How I Got Over – The Roots
R.P.M. – Reflection Eternal
Sir Lucious Left Foot… – Big Boi
OB4CL2 – Raekwon (
Dude that list sucked. Props to the Roots album though.
Real rap/hip hop category
The Roots- How I Got Over
Atmosphere- To All My Friends
Celph Titled/Buckwild- Nineteen Ninety Now
Eminem- Recovery (Say what you want but it is one of the highest selling records)
Jay-Z- The Blueprint 3 (Jay-Z is pretty much as guaranteed as Eminem is).
B.o.B. and Drake are dope but they sing too much. Not really rap if half of your songs have many features and singing. Maybe for Pop album.
Nas flopped and it sucked and Nas is pretty dope. Big Boi ain’t nothing without Andre 3000.
You do not need the krakkaz validation.
“who gives a fuck about a gawd damned grammy!”
sorry guys but you say his gold certified album in one article then on the hiphop sales you say he is teetering on gold and needs 1000 more sales, like wtf??? doesnt matter anyways
it was like 2 months ago officer ricky was braggin about going gold and he still aint done it yet, his album been out for 5 months now
