After persistent court battles granted Rick Ross legal rights to the stage name he co-opted from Freeway Rick Ross late last year, the author and former drug dealer recently released a video statement calling on the MMG founder and other Hip Hop artists to tell the truth about the origins of their success.
Deriding a “Hip Hop to prison pipeline” and the ongoing glorification of drug culture in the music industry, Freeway Rick Ross asked to join together with rappers like Rick Ross in a campaign against “thug culture.”
“To William Roberts, a.k.a. Rick Ross, who’s using my name, I’m inviting you in to come with me,” he said. “Let’s fight this culture. Let’s fight this penitentiary culture that Hip Hop’s been spreading. Let’s make a difference. Me and you need to come together and you need to tell them that you didn’t make your money selling drugs and making music is how you became famous. See, it’s nothing wrong with making music just like it’s nothing wrong with being a correctional officer if that’s what you did. But so many of our friends who look up to you and look up to me are out on the streets thinking that they can go out and sell drugs and parlay that into a record career. I don’t know if you know that they’re not gonna make it, but I know that they’re gonna wind up in prison with prison sentences three and four times what they should be because this war on drugs is no joke. I have ten or eleven friends still in prison right now with life sentences including one that even you know, Big Meech. I know how much you respect me and care about me, otherwise you woudln’t have took my name. Take a chance with me now. Let’s make a difference.
“Even if William Roberts, a.k.a. Rick Ross, don’t decide to come with me and join hands, then the rest of the artists out there,” he added. “Let us come together. Professor Griff, KRS-One, and so forth. Let’s join hands. Let’s change this thug culture. Let’s change this Hip Hop to prison pipeline. Let’s make it happen right now, today.”
Touching on similar statements he’s made previously, Freeway Rick Ross continued with a warning that Hip Hop and the entertainment business are the precursors to a life of crime and/or in prison.
“I’m letting you know right now that the establishment is using Hip Hop to prime these kids for a life that’s gonna send them to prison just like they did with me,” he said. “When I was coming up there was Super Fly, Tequila Sunrise, Scarface, all these movies to make you think that you could start with nothing and then you could have the whole world in the palm of your hand.”

Freeway is an old and bitter broke man
you would be bitter too if some fat cop stole your name and life while you were in a prison like the ones he used to work at
So it’s safe to assume your’re loaded?
Just let it go already, Jesus christ
my brain hurts when I have to think
You have to work with the conscious rappers as far as that part of activism is concerned, with Rozay just let him continue to bring jobs to the hood and give back to the community in that manner.
The best way to fight recodivism and incarceration is to provide economic opportunities for our youth via any means necessary even in the music industry.
I doubt rap music has the ability to force a normal functioning individual to embrace prison any more than crime movies, pornography, and violent video games….the biggest influence these rappers have is influencing the youth to become rappers instead of businessmen.
why dont ross rap about that then, why are half the songs on his new album about selling drugs? nickel rock, neighborhood drug dealer, coke like the 80s, cmon. he graduated school, went to college to study criminal justice, worked a legit job and now he owns chicken wing restaurants. enough with the fairy tales.
guess what OP. you dont have to be a mental patient to be influenced by rap music to do something wrong. what you are saying is insane. OF COURSE we don’t need to worry about people that are stable and secure. it’s the nigga from the broken home, or the nigga that was beaten as a child, that we need to worry about. OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY. and they are being taught to do something that will ruin their lives.
OP, you are talking about recidivism. Meaning you want to rehabilitate people that are already criminals. Most people won’t make it that far. What about stopping them from being criminals in the first place? What if you get killed when you could have been something great?
Great Video and Message. People below are kids he Dont look broken nor old in that video in fact looks young and vibrant. Good Message great video. 300K hits on WSHH wow
Rozay is a fat slob what kind of real women want that flab only aid whores
Rozay never had a plat hit ha ha ha
real nigga stand up!

not everybody is 100% stable. most young people searching for an identity, in the absence of a stable household, or parental figures, will indeed latch on to rap music and use it to find their path in the world, a path that will land them in prison. i should know because i am someone who did something dumb because of a rap song. i had no parents to give me security and guidance, and there are many people out there like me. lie to yourself all you want that there arent.
modern slavery is giving you 30 years then making you sew clothes in prison for 25 cents an hour, and taking that money back with fees for not tidying your bed and charging 25 cents a minute to call your family.
” i should know because i am someone who did something dumb because of a rap song. ”

William Roberts is a devil sent by the illuminati the poison the minds of urban youth and get them sent to prisons like the one he used to guard, which in turn puts more money into the rich white mans pockets.
get off the couch and get a job you bum
The “Silver Conductor” here. MusicLuv to ALL eyes that see read and hear this. Why add to what they the Ozers behind the curtain want you to do by going to prison. Whether it’s a mindset belief or a badge of honor, Don’t Keep Feeding the Cowardly Lion. The SC.
http://www.thesilverconductor.com
its fucking entertainment if these crack babies cant distinguish the difference between reality and fiction and to much we can do about that person…if you let a song,movie,even somebody you look up to persuade you to do some bullshit yo following ass deserve the consequences that was dealt to yo ass straight like that!!! Power to the people!!!!
real nigga
William has almost completed the transformation… why you think he’s been losing all that weight? It’s so he can look more like OG FREEWAY RICK
Problem is, many of the youth cannot distinguish between reality and fiction, therefore they believe everything this rappers rap about.
Why hasn’t the CIA been tried in front of the United Nations? If former agents are coming forward and admitting their guilt in trying to sabotage and destroy the black race through drug use, isn’t that all the evidence you need? Makes me wonder about Ebola, Aids and so on. Long live the Original race. They have been trying to destroy us in America since 1492. Enough is enough!
“Long live the Original race.”
Long live the dinosaurs too, bruh bruh.
This the realest shit I ever read on this website and it comes from a commenter not a blogger or a publisher! It’s so sad that Malcolm had to bring real talk’son back after all these years
At the end of the day, blacks are better at killing blacks than any white man ever was.
Clean your own kitchen, it’s not the white man’s fault.
@fhhdx I’m not blaming the white man it’s not their fault if they are being brainwashed by the government for decades and decades! In the late 60’s and 70’s everytime you watched the tv or news it was war on POVERTY! In the 80’s and 90’s it was war on drugs/crack
In AMERICA POVERTY= blacks. In America drugs/crack= blacks
THINK ABOUT IT ITS BEEN A WAR ON BLACKS IN AMERICA SINCE THE BEGINNING
^^^ Thats cuz we learned from the best. At killing period. Thats why they hunt for sport, pleasure, laughs. Any animosity build within our communities has been ingrained in our culture since slavery. They split us up and made us hate each other for more reasons that the shade of our skin because they new we would have more opportunity to kill ourselves off in the long run. Of course blacks are better at killing blacks… they’re around blacks more. The same way hispanics are better at killing hispanics and WHITES are better at KILLING. you stating the obvious and telling us to “clean our kitchen” doesn’t negate the fact that whites put us in the kitchen and made the mess to begin with. you just taught us how to make it worse.
@Real talk’son and @chamlin
I appreciate you both. Thanks for backing me up!
it was the white man who taught black people self hatred through the 400 year institution called slavery which keeps people at the lowest mental state generation after generation.
its not the white mans fault anymore the white men are being brainwashed too and they have a sweet plan for those dumb white folks its called the army watch that lone survivor movie true story
After reading this. I’m watching CB4 again.
funny ass movie. chris rock is a genius man, who knew his work of fiction would come true?
…or “Fear Of A Black Hat”, another hilarious movie about fake studio-gangstas. lol!
this is real right here.
Gyeeaaaaah 8 HYPE IN THE HOUSE
you left out the G cause the G ain’t in you
Stupid old ass bastard who sold drugs to people in his community and killed people who resisted him selling drugs to young children. So now that you have been to jail and you cant get no work coz no one will hire ur old ex-con ass; you wanna take the old man advising the kids not to sell drug. FUCK YOU. I dont know how and why you got released; you should be serving tripple life or be on Death-row for the shit you did to ur community. Go hang yourself. Piece of shit.Scum…lowest dirt ever.
fuck you. He’s trying to help the kids. The Dope game is ran by the Feds anyways but I bet yo dumbass didn’t know that? Have u ever sold drugs or lived in drug-infested neighborhoods? If so, how did u like living in those conditions?
” killed people who resisted him selling drugs to young children.”
got any proof of this?
Props to the real Rick Ross for telling kids the truth. I’m glad HHDX carried this story and I hope they carry more. Conscious rap > Gangsta Rap anyday of the week. Most of u commenters who like Gangsta Rap have never sold drugs a day in yo life and most probably have never lived in the hood. But u getting mad at the real Rick Ross for talking about it? GTFOH
a lot of niggas that bump gangsta rap is about that life so fall back nigga. if you been about that life then u wud support this movement. the system wanna enslave all of us and that shit is real its a war out here and they want us all locked up. nigga america has the highest incarceration rate in the world. think about that for a while lil niggas before u D ride the fake ross
Black people..we are only 149 years removed from slavery. Never listen to the white man tell you “slavery has ended, get over it”. We are only 2 generations removed from bondage! That’s nothing! Even though we were “freed” in 1865, we still fought for 100 years to maintain and sustain that freedom up until the 1960-1970’s during the civil rights movement. So, in essence, we have only TRULY been a free people since the 70’s! Wake up, y’all.
rapper rick ross is only popular cause idiot high school kids buy anything about drugs..stupid generation
So Rick Ross don’t know the real Noriega?
My whole world is a lie!
LMAO
no but he paid some old criminal from florida to let him record a conversation with him to put all over his album solidifying to the haters how real he is. it only took him 7 albums but black finally acknowledged william.
He simply did that to irritate white people who blog about rappers online.
lol @ ruining your album with a bunch of corny ass phone calls before all the songs to piss off bloggers
Rick Ross may be fake but you’re a snitch.
He’s right.
This dude is def the next to blow watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN6bch5Zyc4&list=UUuaD8eff7EUa9Y2tNXq8wTg
i cant think of 2 many things worse than stealing a real ogs name and him not giving you his blessing. ross will always be a lame until he reaches out to this “old broke bum” as you geeks wanna call him
what the fuck is a Freeway Rick Ross
The real Rick Ross not the fat flabby fake prison cop that stole his entire life and image to get famous, the guy who actually lived what William Roberts raps about in his nursery rhymes.
This old ass nigga again. Nigga needs to give it up. Only reason anybody know of this old ass nigga is that Ricky Rozay made his name famous. If it wasn’t for Ross this crackhead only known for fucking up his own neighborhoods.
Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whats worse? fucking up your own neighborhoods, serving your time and trying to make it right? or pretending to serve drugs to your own community and glorify violence and drug dealing when you never lived that life… i gotta go with the latter.
it’s embarrassing at this point
Why are so many people siding with Rick Ross over Rick “Freeway” Ross. This rapper hasnt done anything to encourage the growth of rap, just pretend to be a gangster. Freeway however lived it, played a big part in the movement of drugs around america, got caught out after making several million. Dont you people see, he has a problem with Rick Ross but not the rapper freeway, because freeway never pretended to be shit
@StupidBlackFolks
Prison is to help reform a man, and he has shown signs of being reformed, based upon his comments, and rather do good.
Ricky rozay however has been caught out time and time again at being fake, giving fake ass little wiggers like you the mindset of a gangster. Rick Ross is glamurising the life of a thug without being one, giving kids the worst ideas that “if you can make 1 catchy bad record, with albums of 1 flow type, boasting about being a plastic ganster”.
FUCK THIS FAT FUCK, Learn to take your flow froa better rapper than DMX!
YOU BITCH ASS NIGGAZ ARE FAKE JUST LIKE THIS INTERNET SIDING WITH THAT FAT FUCKIN PHONY CO who lied to sell a gangsta image…. THIS IS THE BIGGEST STUNT IN HIPHOP HISTORY and that fat fagget got away with it… THESE NIGGAZ REALLY BELIEVE THIS FAT FAG…. Fuck ROZAY hes a bitch ass nigga I never like that bitch nigga since he came out in 06…. you suburb ass niggaz know nothing money doesnt make you a real nigga… niggaz wit money get killed all the time hes a mediocre rappers whos not even real…. at least Game and Jeezy are real…. this bitch nigga was the cops and white people love police so of course there gonna defend this fat fagget…. Rozay and Iggy Azelia are the same if you ask me to weak ass phony fake muthafuckas fuckin up our culture further… you niggaz rather listen to a phony than to listen to the real person he stole his whole identity from….MINDFUCKIN BOGGLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freeway Ricky a bitter bitch mad because another man used his name to get rich without fucking up his own community and for you dumb asses that really believe people are out here selling drugs and shooting people because that’s what rappers rap about just kill yourself right now so you won’t poison the gene pool.
man need to stfu for real, or stop makin music videos like this bullshit here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZxsssX08KE
fucking old ass hypocrite
Hahahaa Officer Ricky fans are butthurt HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Your favorite artist is a FRAUD and you lil homos are listening to the biggest Homo ever, Officer Ricky. HAHAHA
Every time somebody mentions Rick Ross around me I tell them niggaz “YOU GAY NIGGA, LISTENING TO OFFICER RICKY” them homos don’t say shit to me!
You know why? Officer Ricky fans are the biggest pussies.
This is Ziplok and I am with Freeway Rick Ross I am conducting a team pushing this Freeway Rick Ross social media and I know for a fact thanks talking to Rick for about 1,000 hours this year that Rick is real and William is fake. I even work with some of Ross people that have made money with him before and they dont even like William Roberts too much just the money, Rick is the coolest person I know outside of my family and cooler than MANY of them too. either way this site needs to support Rick and not Will Roberts.
by the way hit me up if your interested in The Real Rick Ross is NOT A Rapper shirts or Freeway Rick Ross The Untold Autobiography or if you need to book Rick for an event….. i am the guy to call for that info.
I can tell you haven’t been on thiS eaRth to long.. you sound like a baby…fool.. freeway wrote a book because of rick rozay PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
it’s sad to see my black people arguing over something they have no control of. and whats more messed up, some of yall have poor spelling and grammar. then you want to put that facade on a pedestal. freeway wants to do something to change our self destroyed community. but rozay wants to talk about what he never done and talk about using modern day roofie (mollie for you slow folk) on women. william roberts is mc gusto. CB4 for life.
Please can,you tell them to lease me alone
Homey is just trying 2 get some airtime, he don’t care about what kids think or what’s being popularised, he just wants sum cake just as much as Rozay wants it, if he was as real as he says he is he would nt mind that sum1 will take a hit 4 his doing, I mean mathfuckas who do this shit 4 real their never brag about it.
