Joining dozens of other celebrities and musicians in reacting to recent news of Ray Rice hitting his wife and being subsequently dropped from the Baltimore Ravens and banned from the NFL indefinitely, Los Angeles emcee Glasses Malone spoke with XXL about the incident.
Footage from the February 15 altercation was first released in April before a full video documenting the entire incident surfaced on September 8. The latest security footage shows Rice punching his wife unconscious in the elevator following an altercation and then dragging her out into a lobby.
Coming to Rice’s defense, Malone alluded that the running back hitting his wife was justified—”if you hit someone, be prepared to get hit back”—and said outright that men and women “are not equal.”
“If you hit someone, be prepared to get hit back,” Malone said. “Women are fighting for rights to be equal. They think they are men. Now, I’m looking at Ray Rice and his wife and they look like they are intoxicated. She actually slaps him. They got in the elevator and she got in his face. Whatever they’re doing, that’s their couple thing. She hit him and he backed up. She rushed into him and he threw a check and then hit her. My point is, I get it, in your mind. Women are saying, ‘oh you’re stronger than us.’ Then stop saying we’re equal.”
Addressing the NFL’s disciplinary response, Malone leveraged blame on Janay Rice, the football player’s wife, for the abuse.
“Does he deserve a suspension, sure,” he said. “We don’t think it’s okay for men and women to fight. So suspend him for two games. But to take away his pay and indefinitely suspend him when there’s worse things that’s happening in the NFL, I don’t know if that’s really fair. I mean, if she got over [it] and married this man, she must have understood the place they’re in and she loves him. So for the rest of the world to come up with the act of chivalry—chivalry died with the Women’s Rights Movement. It’s dead. All of these things link together and they leak into situations like this. Why would a woman physically challenge a man if you know he’s stronger?
“I’m really disappointed in people, especially women,” he continued. “I’m feeling a certain way with men too. The idea of not hitting a woman is all within chivalry. You cannot do what a man does. That’s not your purpose in life, that’s not your role. The oxymoron is for a feminist group, a group that’s pushing equality to complain about this situation. This is how men deal with physical disagreements. If you assault, us we respond physically. [Look at] Solange in the elevator with Jay Z. Say she fuckin’ drops Jay Z. She hits him and he falls. Now people looking at Jay Z saying you let Solange knock you out. Do you buy his records? Do you respect a man that allows a woman to knock him out? No you don’t. So why is Solange allowed to assault Jay Z? Say it’s just family drama and she’s allowed at the next award [show]. If it’s the other way around, Jay Z is not allowed at the next award [show]. Stop pushing equality.”
Malone finished by outlining his view of gender roles (which he says is biblical) before equating the incident to a “fight” instead of domestic violence.
“I believe a man should provide and protect for his family, and a woman should nurture and love hers,” he said. “We have different roles, but we are not equal. My role and responsibility should be greater because God designed it to be greater…I fought all of my best friends, we all had physical altercations with each other. Friends and partners fight. You can’t start a fight, then say afterwards that you’re being abused when you got hit back. You can’t do that. Everybody should be held accountable for their words and their actions. Watch what you say. His wife lost a fight. I’m not saying it’s cool, but people who love each other fight. Get the fuck over it.
“My views are very biblical,” he added. “I never had to hit a woman. If you think I’m sexist, I’m not.”
Chris Brown reacted to the incident in an interview with MTV.
“Help is great,” Brown said of dealing with cause of domestic abuse. “I still talk to my therapist twice a week, and it helps me to…If I’m frustrated and I’m dealing with something, to vent and say what I’m going through so I can hear from an actual clinical person, ‘This is how you should react,’ or ‘It’s good to feel this way because feelings, emotions, and energy are supposed to come and go. It’s not supposed to stay there, you’re not supposed to keep it inside, because it’ll bottle up and you’ll become a monster.’ Dealing with my anger issues and understanding myself has helped me really focus on what’s important and not F up.”

Saying some dumb shit like this could really fuck up his career but he doesn’t have one so he will be aiiight.
Agreed. People will do and say anything for a quick 15 minutes.
His wife attacks him first. He had to defend himself. He was in fear of his life.
a grown man in fear of his life from a lil drunk bitch?
Women actually kill men you know.
she attacked him bc he spit on her lol. look again
lmao real shit tho
Glasses Malone is a bumm..Ice Cube didnt even wanna work with him..lol..
And look where Cube is today, making songs like Drop Girl.
^^He’s making Hollywood money too so life ain’t all bad now is it?
Wait a minute, so he doesn’t even wear glasses? or did he get contact lenses???
lol i forgot this dude ever existed
Fuck outta here..like someone else said, if he had a career these dumb ass comments would ruin it.
This dude is ignorant.
Completely.
I fill what he is saying you put your self in a mens place you get treated like a men im not saying knock a bitch out im down with the grab in shake ah bitch let her know you cant win here its women out here that beat men and they just take it because your taught not to hit a women fuck that shit you can hit me but I cant do shit back im knocking ya fucking teeth out so next time you will learn to talk it out well maybe not talk cause your jaw will be wired chut BITCHHHHHHH
Chances are she turned down 7-8 nice guys and kept them in the friend zone or whatever and was attracted to bad boys who had money, well bitch this is what you get when you go that route, you signed up for this remember that, maybe one of the nice guys is so nice he will still take you back, but something tells me her dumbass will stay with him, so no offence but I hope she gets anger smack, it’s called NATURAL SELECTION
I agree. I really don’t care if some stuck up gold digger gets beat up. Its her choice to live that way.
friend zoned bruh i feel your pain
Lol it’s the same thing when they say there is a double standard for men and women, when men sleep with a lot of chicks they are a player, but when women do it they are a slut, no it’s easy as fuck for girls to get laid they just have to say they want it and any dude anywhere will give it to her, men have to be charming, smooth have to fucking work for it, so if a dude gets a lot of pussy props to him, if a girl does it props to her too but it’s easy for them, and harder for guuys
And your a natural dipshit. Ray Rice needs to pick on someone his own size, cause beating up women only proves what a coward he really is. His wife may stay around, and for that she should seek help, but still doesn’t give him the right to beat her down.
“men have to be charming, smooth have to fucking work for it” lol fuck is you talking bout son, all you have to do is throw money at their faces and they’ll be on their knees
ol boy talking about “men have to be charming” smh fuck outta here
“ol boy talking about “men have to be charming” smh fuck outta here”
Says the fucking loser who gets zero pussy…….faggot.
He is DAMN RIGHT!!! This chick named Shakieria Long recently stabbed a dude for not boning her. These chicks get to wilding out and going Housewives of the Hood on a dude and he supposed to lay back and be politically correct and get his teeth knocked about by Sharkeisha or kicked in the nuts in an elevator? F that, if you go to hands you get hands!! Salute to Rice, she won’t do no dumb shit like that again. Dudes gonna be tucking there tail on TV and saying there’s no reason to hit a woman but like Chris Rock said… there’s a reason to kick a old man down a flight of stairs.
x
I’d like to see Immortal Technique throwing tantrums at Glasses Malone the same way he did with Floyd Mayweather.

Who the fuck is Glasses Malone?
He shoulda taken the pussy after he knocked her out. It ain’t rape if it’s your chick
“My views are very biblical”
This explains your house negro ways.
You have to laugh when somebody spews such ignorant views and then has the nerve to act like they are righteous. He’s just like the Black Israelites or the Nation of Islam. We know, we know, Santa Clause was really black, the white devils are distorting the history in the text books! Science and Mathematics! LMFAO
What color is an albino?
Is this mans views warped like the KkK, Aryyan Nation, Skinheads and Neo Natzis? Did the catholic church abuse him and cover up their crimes?
^^ don’t even try it. His genes are too recessive to comprehend a simple argument.

no it describes you bruthadoodoo
remember how hard they were pushin this dudes shit like 7-8 years back then his album got delayed for years only to sell like 15 copies when it finally dropped? new west my ass
Ray Rice committed a cowardly and foolish act of violence fueled by alcohol, emotional immaturity and madness.
White society loves the caricature of the brutal black male with violent tendencies and savage behavior because it fits their stereotypes and helps them justify their mistreatment of Black males and the slaughter of Black males by so-called peace officers.
Chris Brown gave Rihanna a beating 10 times as worse as that haymaker Ray Rice gave his fianc but
Ray Rice has lost his career while Chris Brown is still topping the charts with a majority female fanbase….
Moral of the story is if you are going to beat a woman at least do it in private or be able to sing and dance well enough to make women still love you.
stop it fam. seriously. you’re just ranting for the sake of ranting.
Ray Rice will be back just like Mike Vick. Chris Brown was shunned for a minute too it took him a few years and that gay michael jackson tribute to win the public back.
“stop it fam. seriously. you’re just ranting for the sake of ranting.”
naw it’s Bruthadee he’s a middle aged angry racist
How bout you just don’t do it all. The only reason CB came back was cause he has talent. Singing songs doesn’t hinge on whether your pimp hand is active or not. Ray Rice can be replaced like that.
My people love to hit women.
Sup my niggas
Wow he’s stupid
REAL TALK
Swallow a bullet Glasses Malone.
I agree
You cant suspend a guy for a couple games like “all good bro, dont smack your partner over again” and then months later be like “nigga you fired for that shit”. If I was him I would be like “WTF I already got in trouble and now I’m in worse trouble coz now theres a vid of me actually hitting her which everyone knew I did?”
yes you can, and they did LOL. keeping him around would be terrible for business.
knockin bitches out call me ray rice
real shit. wait for the flood of ray rice punchlines
Glasses Malone…………………………………needs glasses!
You gotta be a deaf/dumb/blind fuck to utter the bullshit he did.
he definitely has a point and made it well.. even tho his music is booty
goodsh!t, deep bro!
“And your a natural dipshit. Ray Rice needs to pick on someone his own size, cause beating up women only proves what a coward he really is. His wife may stay around, and for that she should seek help, but still doesn’t give him the right to beat her down.”
^ do you clean your horse with a toothbrush or bleach?
I bet there’s someone IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD beating their wife and you ain’t saying sh#t OR addressing that “coward” with your phony ass principles.
Anyone that thinks they can justify what Mr. And Mrs Rice both did should seek out council. Both were wrong as well as the NFL and the Ravens for acting like judge and jury.
