Rick Ross Covers The Source Magazine

    Rick Ross, the boss of Maybach Music Group, is set to appear on the cover of The Source magazine. The magazine is slated to appear in newsstands November 26 a little over a month before his new album Mastermind is set to be released, according to mtv.com.

    “It feel good as hell,” Ross says in a clip for The Source, as posted in a video on mtv.com. “When you look at these dope-ass covers, just being on The Bible, it still means that much to me.” 

    This is Ross’ fifth cover appearance for The Source, according to the rapper.

    Ross appears on the cover of the magazine wearing a blue fur coat and sun glasses. He also dons white pants, red underwear and a snake skin belt. 

    The issue of The Source that Rick Ross is on the cover of is set to also include stories regarding Tupac, The Notoious B.I.G., Drake, Pusha T, Cam’ron, Dom Kennedy and Big Daddy Kane, among others. 

    A video taken at the cover shoot for the magazine appears below, via The Source, as posted on mtv.com

    Ross is set to release his Mastermind album December 17.  

    “The album, December 17,” Ross said of his upcoming release in an interview with New York radio station Hot 97 in October. “I’m releasing a new record myself [with] Jay Z, top of next month. We following up with the one that the streets really appreciate right now. So, we doing it big.”

      1. I wont say he the best because we all know that the God Rakim is the Alpha & Omega but Rozay put in work during his era.

      2. I cant speak on the homosexual portion of your comment but I dont hear any Black brothers talking about this man doing those things to them, its only white people who seem to be enamored with it.

      3. “dont hear any Black brothers talking about this man doing those things to them,”

        would you tell your homies about a fat black man sticking his hands up your anus in the pen????? some things just go unsaid

      1. Thats pretty unfortunate that your GF is rocking an A Cup, my bishes rock Double-D’s & up. You must ain’t got no game lil boi.

      1. Just adults mostly, hes had a solid career compared to most rappers, 6 major label albums since ’06 so yes his fans still support his music.

      2. @Anonymous

        I tend to think that detractors tend to focus on “Platinum” more than the post 2005 artists do, I doubt the true fans care that J. Cole, Wiz, A$AP, Big Sean, Wale, and Lupe go Platinum especially when only a few post 2005 artists have gone platinum (Drake, Nicki, Kendrick, Mackelmore).

        In this age of rap its difficult for an artist to even go Gold even when the album is superb as Pusha Ts new album.

      3. BruthaDee don’t you ever get bored with being an MMG cheerleader? You’re a grown ass man thats like 40 and you’re a fucking groupie!!!

        Being a hater is way more rewarding come over to the darkside!

    1. Cee-Lo & Rick Ross presents Rape Gang
      1. Mollys and Champagne
      2. She didn’t even know it (remix)
      3. Against her will
      4. We got set up ft. Tupac
      5. It won’t hurt ft. Mack Maine
      6. Just like Daddy ft. Birdman & Lil Wayne
      7. Can’t get no pussy
      8. Gonna take it by force
      9. It’s mines
      10. X and Sex
      11. Fuck sumthin
      12. Bout that rape life

      This shit will go platinum!!! lol!!! Supported by pervs and lames who get no pussy everywhere.

      1. Yeah I like High end fashion accesories and fly shit, I tend to notice the year of the Jordans and the name brand on the accessories instead of a mans breasts, weight, height, girth and length.

      2. “You can look at Hip Hop fashion today and everybody in Hip Hop really dressing like Europeans. Nobody’s talkin’ about that. You’re either dressing like a European or a Japanese person.”

    2. Now this nigga is pretending to be Cookie Monster! Just be yourself your once William stealing other peoples identities is not respectable

    3. Ive never seen someone so fat and disgusting be so comfortable with being shirtless all the time. props i guess

    4. Tell me that aint the gayest fucking outfit you seen a rap niggas wear in a minute! 40 year old man sagging his pants, showing his underwear on a magazine cover what an embarrassment to our people.

      1. The possibility exists that the purpose of the outfit was to evoke strong emotional responses from people like you. *Shrugs* (Controversy sells).

      2. ‘controversy sells’ how is the negative input making him money. MMGs time is almost up wait til the next artist that the media shoves at us shows up

      3. If the only things that sells his shit is controversy then we can laugh, boo and hate him even more if he becomes a fat transsexual fag, for example. Will he? Please?

      4. Negative input can kill your career and kill your movement if it comes from the right sectors but it isnt coming from any respectable or reputable sector so it has virtually no negative effect on our success.

        Now if its coming from Scarface, or the streets or from your peers then you are finished, but if its anonymous or coming from non-factors then you have nada to worry about.

      5. Kiddie Mescudi
        Famous rappers who been in the game before William started to rap dont count as respectable? I mean niggas dissed the Officer, but for some reason – not money of course, but his talent – people still fuck with MMGenius.

      6. Who dissed William that hasnt already been dissed? 50?

        Dont be fooled, rappers mostly diss for political or promotional reasons, its almost Never personal.

        They diss each other and then get money together.

      7. cmon man

        Trick Daddy dissed him.
        Uncle Luke dissed him.

        Meek Mill tweeted that 50 and Mayweather disrespected the shit outta Ross!!!

      8. The fact that you compiled a list like that shows that your obsession is unhealthy, now imagine if you had a list that long of girls you had sex with.

        God forbid someone make a list of the people that dissed your God 50 Cent, it would be longer than my dick.

    5. this nigga murked the cookie monester and made a coat out of his pelt. I know Big Bird and Oscar aint gonna let him get away with this shit

    6. You think he would have 1 honest person in his camp that would tell him how bad of a look this is. shit is gross on so many levels. Fat fuck takes up the whole damn cover I’m surprised they got any text or a barcode on there

      1. It’s brilliant, they created a cover to keep people like you away from it so in that instance it worked nicely.

    7. No stage pressance, no charisma, no energy, no talent, no originality.
      Oh and he’s obese and sweaty, and probably smells like shit.

    8. I dont care what you wanna say about his music or his catalog but you seriously cannot tell me that you honestly believe that this cover is a good look!

      Did Biggie ever show off his man boobs on magazine covers and ever music video and show he did?

      1. Yeah Biggie had his shirt off in the Warning video and in the Juicy video but that was waaaaaaay before your time. Like the other dude said if you think its gross then dont buy the Mag.

      1. Maybe they are trolling you to add to the view count of this article, sneaky people will manipulate your navet to suit their own purposes.

    9. 2Pac’s crack, 2Pac’s crack
      Theres all these C.O. niccas searching 2Pac’s crack
      Rubber gloves on me, you can picture that colon
      With my brand new cuffs, know them wrists gon be swollen
      Guarding on Death Row, Hookers having my baby
      But I’m eating my chicken I need a new bowl of gravy
      They searching 2pac’s crack, 2pac’s crack
      There’s all these C.O. rappers spreading 2pac’s crack

    10. How they give this fat slob 5 covers and he dont got 1 platinum album? I feel theres gotta be some more deserving talent out there who are on their way up not down like Ross

      1. The platinum obsession is just Insane Clown Possee fans who brag that ICP have platinum albums and UGK dont, they aint real rap fans just retards.

      2. I never heard an ICP album in my life but you gotta respect the hustle! They going plat selling millions making millions and they dont gotta pretend to be something they’re not! Sure them jugallos are weird but have you ever been to a Ross concert? I’ll take a jugallo bitch over some ghetto broke hood rat bitch anyday

    11. The secret to troll-control is forcing them to react in a certain manner so witnesses can see the discrepancies in intellect and the unsettling behavior of the children of a lesser God.

      With that said I want to read the article to see how Rozay responds to questions about Wale’s hiatus.

      Time to pick up momentum.

      1. Anonymous1 nice job piss off all the trolls to make this site even more shitty. Ross looks like a blueberry snocone in that cover.

      2. @HymenRoth:

        It’s nit about pissin em off, they wake up miserable and pissed off that they are stuck in a wheelchair all day on an obscure rap forum screaming for someone/anyone to pay attention to them so you just have to pray for their parents and keep them busy so they don’t harm themselves or others.

      3. Im just happy that when i wake up every morning I’m not a 40 year old MMG groupie who spends all day defending Rick Ross and hating Eminem

      4. So basically we have a 40 year old talking about 40 year old rappers and a 12 year old spending all day monitoring and reporting what the 40 year old does like a stalker-groupie? Damn homie you wanna talk about wasted youth! Im in a rocking chair with grey hairs and a laptop waiting for my Medicare while you are spending the twilight of your life following me. 🙂 I’m flattered.

      5. i got my whole life to look forward too. you’re a grown ass groupie cheer leading for the fakest guy in rap who’s not even that good!

      1. LOL how you run the rap game when you selling less than kendrick, jay, kanye, wayne, macklemore, jeezy, drake, nicki, eminem, etc

      2. LOL, what a weirdo, Diddy aint sold a record since forever and a day but hes one of the richest and most powerful moguls in the game and the poor guy can’t sing, rap, or produce.

        Hate blinds the losers of the world so badly that they cant see that music business is more than selling records, 50 Cent got em brainwashed.

      3. no one mentioned diddy or 50 on this comment BruthaDee

        Why cant Ross earn more in 2012 than Mac Miller or Questlove with the so called hottest label in rap????

    12. Am I the only person who thought the title of this was somehow a clever reference to his obesity? Usually, an artist is ON the cover of the magazine, not covering it. The writer was clearly being a comedian.

    13. Look up in the sky nigga.
      See who’s up in the sky nigga.
      It’s Ja Rule nigga.
      And he about to poop on you nigga.

      #JaRulePoopsOnYallNiggas

    14. >

      Trinidad James is trying to back track his way out of this and cop a plea. He said ” if anybody wants a problem then bring it” Until Maino spoke up, now he wants to say he was talking about the fans not the rappers. Lol. He wants to pretend to act crazy but now he sobered up all of the sudden. Lol

    15. All this sucka-ness and scary shit I don’t like
      All these Afri-c0on Americans, it ain’t right
      And that goes to crazy ass cr@ckers
      Small claim corp clowns, and strip club rappers
      Out in broad day with they nipples out
      With they stretch marks, blackheads and pimples out
      Yuck, you suck, go away
      You’re always talking, and you never got much to say
      Yuck, you suck, go away
      You’re always crowding space, fix your thirsty face

      1. he cant even headline a real tour on his own!! hes doing 8 dates at small ass theaters cause his last and only solo tour tanked so bad and got cancelled half way thru! might have to go back to being a ymcmb opener!

      2. Whites run the rap game but their are plenty of Black entrepanures touring and selling enough records to make multi-millions and make that precious Forbes list……..somebody mad bout dat.

      3. Ross aint even make the the top 20 on forbes list though!! he got an honorable mention for making as much as Questlove the DJ and Mac Miller the independent white rapper who sold half as much and doesnt own a label LMAO

    16. This fat nigga sat on the Cookie Monster until he suffocated then took his ass to the taxidermy and got a coat made!!!! Where they do that?

    17. “LOL how you run the rap game when you selling less than kendrick, jay, kanye, wayne, macklemore, jeezy, drake, nicki, eminem, etc”

      Ross has had two albums that outsold Jeezy’s last, and he’s not worrying about mack the drunk, or Kid Kendrick. His net worth could help those two dudes floss properly.

      1. and jeezy has 3 platinum albums and Ross has zero

        Jeezyz last album also outsold Ross last album first week and overall so who really cares if Ross best selling 2 out of 6 albums sold more than Jeeyz worst selling album!!!

      2. “Ross has had two albums that outsold Jeezy’s last, and he’s not worrying about mack the drunk, or Kid Kendrick. His net worth could help those two dudes floss properly”.

        All sales to the side MMG has over 30 employees on their payroll hustling together and doing good business as brothers, Jeezy has sold a lot of albums but his former artists, former manager, and former producer are all trying to sue him for bad business.

        Selling records is cool but the labels rape you so you gotta branch out and invest your money in other arenas. Thats what separates the Bosses from the workers.

      3. How long you think Ross and MMG can last though? they on their way out. pretty soon all those niggas gonna be lookg for new jobs when they get laid off. Ross losing money paying all these dudes. He made as much money as Questlove and Mac Miller and Young Jeezy last year. Every man for himself!!!!!

      4. How long will they last?

        As long as they choose. E-40 and Too Short been dropping albums for over 20 years, they dont sell millions but they make a very nice loving doing what they love. When a rapper falls off its a gradual process it doesn’t happen overnight so the factors say that Ross will have these last two albums on Def Jam.

    18. Fuck Reebok Ross should be going after that Victoria’s Secret money. Just imagine all the bras he could sell for them!!! Face it no one was buying Reeboks cause of this guy!

    19. FUCK RICK FALSE THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT, U A PIG SO FUCK U ,AND ALL U FAGGOTS TRYING TO SUGAR COAT THAT SHIT AND SAY WHO CARES ARE PROBABLY SOME SNITCH ASS BITCHES …I DONT KNOW HOW YALL DO IT IN MIAMI BUT OUT HERE IN CALI THAT SHIT AINT COOL ,KILL ALL RATZ LIKE NWA SAID FUCK THE POLICE

    20. When you think about it Kendrick dissed Ross on Control by not even mentioning that niggas names at all among the greats or the niggas hes trying to kill. He’s a non factor!

    21. PEOPLE WHO MADE MORE THAN ROSS LAST YEAR

      LIL JON
      TECH N9NE
      WIZ KHALIFA
      KENDRICK LAMAR
      MACKLEMORE
      50 CENT

      TO NAME A FEW WHO AINT NEARLY AS POPULAR

      1. You have to be a special kind of tiny little hater to pocket watch so rabidly that you have a list of rappers who made more than the next one for 2012. All them dudes made more money than you and got more pussy than you which is the real root of your frustration.

      2. ROSS AINT GET MORE PUSSY THAN ME THOUGH!!!

        HE GOTTA IMPREGNATE WHORES FROM THE BACK OF THE NEWSPAPER!!

        OL PAY TO PLAY ASS NICCA!!!

    22. Man, I wish when g-unit was whupping gunplays ass instead of yayo ad libbing “YEAH NIGGA” he shoulda be ad libbing “where ur plate, where ur lobster, where ur seabass”

      1. Wrong. Ted Lucas owns 95% of Ross publishing, Ross made the 6 million last year with only 5% of his publishing!

        Bawse!!

    23. what good music???? officer rozay been making the same dam song with the same content for atleast 4 years straight.
      box chevy-wack…..no games-wack
      all them selfmade comps sound the same…nothing special.
      no originality…..nothing. his mmg crew outside of wale aint nothing either.
      same beats…same features…rinse and repeat for years.

      but they got paid dickriders like bruthadee, ebro and elliot wilson telling people that its hot when its not.
      then comes the drake,jay,wayne feature to save his latest project….again.

      smoke and mirrors.

      1. You been listening to the same song for 4 years? Priorities Bruh, get your life together and listen to something else. Be a man.

      2. Yaaaaawn white boy say the same shit, Officer, Dickrider, BruthaDee, blah blah blah, 4 years later he still listening to Ross and MMG like they got control of his brain. He can tell you every song and what was on every compilation, he is a sado masochist punishing his ears because he hates himself.

      3. “He can tell you every song and what was on every compilation, he is a sado masochist punishing his ears because he hates himself.”

        Hmmmm…. kinda sounds like a certain 40 year old black raicst I know whos on every Eminem article hating LMFWAO!!!!!!!

    24. The rapper Rick Ross has also been having problems with the Gangster Disciples for using their leader Larry Hoovers name in his BMF song. Its been said the Rick Ross canceled the rest of his Maybach Music Group tour because of safety concerns and YouTube videos posted by members of the gang who threatened to step to the rapper and make a move on him. And recently the rapper was the victim of a drive-by shooting. So where this all ends we dont know but one thing is for sure the rapper Rick Ross past is catching up with him. The lies he has told to build his rap career are finally coming back to haunt him and the man whose story, likeness and image he stole to create his rap persona wants his piece of the pie. Can the rapper get through all this or will he go down like Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer or other entertainers who got exposed as frauds. We will see.

      1. He is rich, happy and on tour, they just filmed a video for “Hold On” to frustrate you even more :).
        He came in the game in 200 and 13 years later you still gonna give him a paragraph of your time.

        Bawse!!

      2. “He came in the game in 200 ”

        damn I aint know Ross had history like that. he must have built the pyramids and shit

    25. i’m maybe 10 or 15 pounds above what i should be, not fat by any means and dont got no titties yet but I dont even feel comfortable taking my shirt off in front of people. this niggas is tripping he feeling himself way too much this shit is gross on so many level. some of his songs is cool though but no rap fans wants to see your tits man get a shirt

    26. they shoulda let Pusha t breathe a little bit. Let him have his own cover for 1 month fuck sharing that shit with Ross

    27. The best part of a Rick Ross article is reading tall the responses to the haters from BruthaDee. NIGGA IS 40 YEARS OLD STILL CHEERLEADING FOR MMG HOPING ONE DAY HE MIGHT GET ACCEPTED AND BE APART OF THE TEAM LOLOLOLOLOLOL

      1. LOL, you really get excited when strangers online respond to your trolling? Go outside meet some fun people and enjoy life. You dont have to be the way you are, its millions of girls online you can chat with, don’t just give up and spend your life flirting with a 40 year old you call your brother.

        Believe in your self or nobody else will.

    28. Why dont you guys post Pusha T’s cover? I thank the lord that The Source is putting out an alternative cover for straight males with a real nigga on it so we dont have to see this atrocious fat tub of lard just to get out monthly hip-hop fix!

      1. in BruthaDee’s mind anyone who disikes Rozay is a white geek bumping G-Unit but its far from true. you can go on HHDX facebook page and see all kinds of blacks, latinos and asians all hating on this disgusting cover

    29. RICK ROSS IS ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS AT THIS POINT IN TIME

      FUCKING MAC MILLER MAKING AS MUCH PAPER AS ROSS THESE DAYS WITHOUT A FUCKING LABEL OR REEBOK/CIROC/WINGSTOP/BELAIR ROSE ADS IN EVERY VIDEO. SELLING OUT AINT PAYING OFF BRUH

      1. networth does not equal cash in the bank LMAO

        niccas think he got 30 million in the bank

        i know mac miller aint living beyond his means buying luxury cars and shit that loses value every day

    30. its crazy to look at this cover and realize this is a 40 year old man still sagging his pants pretneding to be someone hes never been. most street niggas dont glamorize that shit cause they knew it was their way out the hood but this cat didnt decide to be a street nicca until he was almost 30!!

      1. More like 12, he has some serious issues, probably a shut in or some other person with mental problems, with no identity it is safe to expect the worst, he used to troll at Hypebeast with the worst of the worst artists on Aftermath and Shady.

    31. Real Niggas that really was in the street game at 11,12,13,14,etc get tired of that life after a minute..RICK ROSS was never in that life at that age this nigga cam from a good home with money and was graduating school, going to college to play football, studying criminal justice and applying to be a corrections officer… all the real street niggas already done went through his hardcore phase cuz that shit was real for them. them nigga was in the streets from age 11 to whenever the fuck they started rapping. while they was in streets of ATL, NYC pumpin crack shootin niggas this nigga Ross was working in a jail..thats why ROSS looks like chief keef but hes 20 years older..he aint got tired of “that life ” yet cuz he barely started being “street” until his late 20’s when he caught a lil weed charge! LMFAO

      this rap game a fuckin joke and the only niggas that feel rick ross are other lame niggas who aint start bangin till they was damn near 30 SMFH

    32. The alternate cover has Pusha T on it, they are both Def Jam label mates and just dropped a music video together so they are building off each others buzz. Def Jam do a decent job with the rappers on their label but they are moreso a bank giving you a budget than they are in the department of artist development and A&Ring your project.

      1. Uh yeah it’s common knowledge that labels want their artists on covers of music mags close to the release of their album, just like the obligatory promo run to radio stations, 106th and Park and late night talk shows.

        Ross probably has 5 covers for each album and this is Pusha T’s first Cover so the theory has some validity.

        An extreme example would be HipHopDX having 99 Eminem articles around the release of his album.

    33. I don’t give a fuck if source put the cop on their cover they been irrelevant for long long time but y not put up the other cover with pusha t up here beside it hiphopdx are sum amateur motherfuckers

    34. Like it or not but Rick Ross has:

      – flows
      – lyrics
      – dope beats
      – charisma

      Okay he used to be a cop but Jay-Z and Eminem used to be dope rappers and are now pop rappers and Nas or Mobb Deep never sold drugs or bust there guns.

      1. like it or not officer rick has

        No street cred, no platinum albums, no stage pressance, no charisma, no energy, no talent, no originality.
        Oh and he’s obese and sweaty, and probably smells like shit.

      2. @MMG

        You cant survive in this game without a succesful formula, look at your list compared to the list the troll made and look at the difference in mentality. Its the same thing with people who support music.

        Honestly if I got a street fan base like Keef, Juelz, Gotti, Rocko, Nipsey, Styles, Pusha, Meek, Gucci or French then I gotta have Rozay on my album or mixtape.

        If Im a legend like JayZ, Nas, Bun B, Jadakiss, or Raekwon then I have to have Rozay on my album.

        If Im a platinum rapper like Drake, Nicki, Wayne, Kanye, or Game then yep you guessed it gotta have Rozay on my album!

        Ross might not be big outside of Black music but hes huge in Black music where Black folks make Black music without the cut on it.

      1. I dont see anyone mentioning G-Unit except the MMG groupie who think everyone that dislikes Ricky is a G-Unit stan which couldnt be further from the truth!

      2. If you actually take time to read the posts you can easily tell who is behind the posts, its only a few dudes that drop knowledge and industry biz, most posts are just the lunatic attention guy doing everything in his power to get people to respond to him.

      3. When did white folks start calling Black folks “Brutha” aint that an oxymoron? Notice how the gay white child says “BruthaDee” or “40” every post like he crushin.

        I got a groupie on HipHopDX calling me brother and flirting to find out how old I am….gay dude looking for a Black Sugar Daddy because he heard about our prowess.

      4. Middle aged loser blogging about about middle aged rappers, I am only 13 but I blog here because I’m bored not because I am a loner with no friends or social activities associated with people my age.

    35. I feel so bad for the artists who had to tattoo this man. Imagine havin to lift up each breast and watching all his skin jiggling as you drawing lines with your needle. Those are true american heros

      1. While you “imagine” those things and ask us ro imagine them with you Im imagining shoving my cock in Jhene Aiikoo,,we different homeboy

    36. “No street cred, no platinum albums, no stage pressance, no charisma, no energy, no talent, no originality”

      Then why is he about to release album #6? You hate Ross like he stole your Xmas presents last year.

    37. “and jeezy has 3 platinum albums”

      Not anymore sport. His label doesn’t even want to release his next album.

      1. He still got 3 first week platinum albums to RR zero, and they don’t take those back so he still has 3 platinum albums.

      2. Jeezy is a helluva artist, he went Platinum back when a lot of artists could go Platinum (before 2006) but now artists are lucky to go Gold.

        Jeezy can get a release date but he has to learn how to assemble a team around him and not expect Def Jam to hold his hand.

      3. “Jeezy is a helluva artist, he went Platinum back when a lot of artists could go Platinum (before 2006)”

        he went plat in 2005, 2006, 2008

        ross been out since 2005 whats his excuse?

      4. Jeezy didn’t go Platinum in 2008. Ross dropped his debut in 2006 and now he has 4 Gold albums and millions of dollars it is not fair for a guy like me that works at Wendy’s.

      1. I disagree 100%.

        The MMG machine is too efficient to fall off like a G Unit or a No Limit.

        Young Sav, Pucci and Lex got the bizz, promo,and marketing on lock, then Spiff easily the most underrated A&R in HipHop, then the film crew with Dre, John & Shutta. Self sufficient!

        You got MMGs Swisha Suite studio in-house production Shun, BeatBillionaire, AOne, and in house mixing! Self sufficient.

        In order to wrest control from these labels and have some power we have to learn how to become more self sufiecent and learn how to do what these labels do ourselves, keep it in-house.

        If you have a solid team of artists, producers, an engineer/mixer, DJs, managers, videographers etcetera you are a self contained unit for the most part.

        I live watching the inner mechanisms of the game and better ways to maneuver through the obstacles the industry throws at us. MMG still got gas in the tank.

      2. MMG invincible…they’re already starting to fall off, since last year. Why do you think, they’re making all these moves and Jay is helping out Ross. It’s called recouping….stupid lol

      3. Falling off is inevitable, just ask JayZ about Roc-A-Fella.

        Cash-Money is the only major-minor label that has stood the test of time but thats largely due to
        LiL Wayne putting the label on his back and forming YMCMB right when Cash Money was falling off.

        Ruff Ryder’s fell of, Death Row fell off, No Limit fell off and dont get me started on labels like
        Rap A Lot, Suave House and Murder Inc…

        But there are other examples like Strange Music, and Duck Down that manage to maintain a strong underground presence.

        MMG got Lyor, and Moscowitz on the payroll and the Kaballah-witch Julia Greenwald at Atlantic love them young boys on the roster so they will have a better run than Grand Hustle or Derty ENT.

      4. they got a 40 year old nicca on their payroll to respond to all the haters on every blog site shit is a joke LOLOLOL you aint changing anyones mind with your long winded dick riding response you groupie hoe!!!

      5. Ross is only where he is today because of Lil Wayne and Drake putting his fat ass on their backs!!! They had to both help lift him up cause hes so overweight

    38. you like like a cow you fat fuck. you gotta have some weird type of fetish to think thats sexy. the most positive things i can say about that image is you are impressively obese. eat a carrot. then a dick.

    39. nobody supporting ross anymore only paid media sites and paid blogs. basically dickriders who use emotion rather than facts.

      facts are his 8 mini tour of small assembly hall arenas are struggling with ticket sales [struggling with 1500 capacity is a real worry]
      a flash sale of tickets online at various ticket sites still resulted in large patches of empty seats in his Boston gig.
      the rest of the tour looking bleak as well as far as ticket sales.
      thats why they aint showing the usual visuals of his shows cuz they struggling.
      they resorting to taking smoke and mirrors photo angles of the boston show to make it look full but it was largely empty in places.
      with the MMG Selfmade tour bombing as well things are getting worse for ross.

      but the paid cheerleaders will say otherwise……………….

      smoke and mirrors……………..

      1. Brilliant post (all blatant obvious trolling aside). 😉

        Nobody supports Ross & MMG besides you, me, emotional penis-riders & those on the payroll $$.

        Right^^^ ??

        (Money-~Bagz)

        I can only applaud your exhaustive research into the ticket sales, venue capacity, and other research into the tour, I wish more fans and supporters would devote that much energy into the artists they find interest in. {Yezzir}~^^^(

    40. “MMG invincible…they’re already starting to fall off, since last year. Why do you think, they’re making all these moves and Jay is helping out Ross. It’s called recouping….stupid lol”

      Jay helps out alot of artists. That’s called good business, and if MMG was struggling that bad, they wouldn’t be releasing albums still.

    41. “He still got 3 first week platinum albums to RR zero, and they don’t take those back so he still has 3 platinum albums”

      Today that means nothing. You platinum groupies are something else.

    42. “ross been out since 2005 whats his excuse?”

      Ross has never made excuses. Does Drake or Jay Z tell Ross, no I can’t work with you because you aren’t platinum? We all know Ross has never sold a mill, but obviously he’s bucked the trend and made good for himself. There’s not much else to say sport.
