Rick Ross debuted “Pinned To The Cross” during his Verzuz Instagram Live battle with 2 Chainz on Thursday (August 6) and many immediately gravitated towards Ross’ venomous diss towards actor Terry Crews.
“Terry Crews is another coon who was basically bought,” Ross sneers on the track.
Crews has made headlines in recent weeks for his stances on the Black Lives Matter Movement, saying it could lead to a state of “Black supremacy” and an attempt to reclaim the word “coon” by using the acronym Conquer Our Own Negativity. When a fan asked Crews about his thoughts on Ross’ diss, the 51-year-old America’s Got Talent host simply gave a one-word answer.
“FAMOUS,” Crews wrote on Twitter.
When asked about going after Crews on “Pinned To The Cross,” Ross didn’t hold back.
“When shit goes down, ain’t no time to explain yourself. You’re either running with us or running from us. That’s what it’s all about,” Ross told Billboard. “It gotta be obvious. Him tiptoeing and moving the way he moves, I’m bringing it to light, and he can take it however he wanna take it, but I ain’t fucking with him.”
Ross’ isn’t the first person in Hip Hop to send shots towards Crews. In July, Chance The Rapper mused gushed over his mentor Kanye West’s presidential qualifications opposed to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. However, once Chance realized he was in a no-win situation, he began to back down from those sentiments. After he saw Crews’ cosigning, he backpedaled even faster.
Royce Da 5’9 also chimed in on Crews’, calling him as well as current NBA analyst Charles Barkley and conservative commentator Candace Owens as “destructive” to society.
“My idea of happiness is a happy white person,” Royce said. “If I can somehow get to the level of a happy white person and carry myself in a way where I feel accepted by happy white people, then I achieved the American dream. That’s why niggas like Charles Barkley and fucking Terry Crews, that’s why these niggas act like that.”
Gotta love the few left who embrace free speech – identity politics is Absoloutely frightening!
This guy gives his opinion as a successful black man in America, and people R.I.P. him apart online. Usually white folks, of the weirdo Hot topic crowd. He is worried about black on black crime, because certainly that’s who would do him harm, not the cops. People are tripping.
I know fake ass Officer Ricky not speaking. Terry Crews and Barkley know what is real and fake and can read between the lines. This exactly why 2 Chainz beat his ass in the rap battle lol.
Rick Ross is Faker than a 4 dollar bill, at least Crews kept it 100, i aint mad at nothing he said, its only bitch ass niggas and whiny white liberals thats pushing that bullshit, yall really think Crews gives a fidduck what yall think??? lions are not concerned with the opinions of sheep, especially ones only out to pander to certain platforms
Remember when Ricky got shot at and crashed his motorcycle, but then 50 Cent exposed that he staged it?
Lmao this is why culture vultures need to take a back seat, all of what you just said is false. Go back to your Taylor Swift bullshit
Honestly, I can’t say I’m checking for Ross or Terry Crews although I can kind of relate to parts of what both are saying. Ross speaks of the line in the sand that has to get drawn anytime change has to be brought about for the benefit of society, whereas Crews is exposing his insecurities about such changes happening due the afflictions and structural hurdles faced by those driving it under the canvas of branding their quest as a mere self gratification exercise happening at the expense of progress as society knows it. I think BLM has genuine causes at the heart of it. The trouble is, it also has people within its midst who are clouding its agenda and maligning it. The likes of Terry Crews have noticed these anomalies and sought to pick the entire movement apart with giving credit and direction where its due. After all, these few are still in the minority.
The co-founders of BLM have confessed themselves on video that they are TRAINED MARXISTS aka communists.
They are also queers and lesbians which explains why BLM is all about LGBTQ.
BLM website calls supporters COMRADES just like communists do.
Just be reminded that the issues that brought people together had to do with the welfare of black people. The talk centred on ending police brutality and dealing with the high structural unemployment linked to crime and high incarceration rates as well as poor access to essential services like healthcare. Those are the causes that rallied the people in the streets of America and not the circumspect late arrival issues you attribute to the statements made by the “co-founders” of the movement. Moreover, the sentiments you speak belong to a select number of individuals. Anybody that knows civil rights movements or “communism” as you like to call it know that its driven from the ground up and not the other way around. That means, the majority rules. If the leaders of BLM digress from the people’s agenda, the people will find a way to express themselves or a new organization for that to them to do that in. It must also be borne in mind that identifying with these movements core values doesn’t mean that you are agreeable to everything that their leaders say and do.
In REAL LIFE police shoot more unarmed white people than unarmed black people despite blacks committing about 50% of the violent crimes in USA so the whole premise and claim by BLM that police is out to get black people is a LIE and Propaganda.
There is nothing organic or from the ground up about BLM.
BLM is funded by George Soros and comes around for presidential election years.
Last time BLM was big was in 2016 and now in 2020 BLM is again a thing because media gives it non-stop coverage.
The fact George Floyd did resist police officers and refused to get into a police car and claimed he could NOT breath already when he was standing up and when police tried to get him to SIT in the police car just came out from the bodycamera footage released by the Daily Mail makes it clear this footage was intentionally hidden by Minneapolis DEMOCRAT Mayor and Minneapolis DEMOCRAT police chief to make sure people were angry enough to riot.
George Floyd was on fentanyl and fentanyl causes breathing problems and it is clearly visible in the bodycam footage that George Floyd was high as a kite.
BLM is a Soros funded and Democrat tied organization (ActBlue) and black people protesting for BLM are just used as pawns by DEMOCRATS.
Again, it’s clear that you are providing ringing endorsements for a continuation of the status quo where the issues I have highlighted in relation to black people’s welfare continue to occur. I find it particularly striking that none of your responses seem to contain solutions for the problems talked about, show progress about what been done address them to date or show emperical evidence of a widespread transformation of laws and socio-economic welfare for the communities concerned. Your claim of “more unarmed white people being shot than unarmed black people” is based on statistics provided by some of the very same police organizations that have been known be to the aggressors, the same governments that have presided over the decay people have been complaining for many generations and the same think tanks have been funded to serve particular interests at the expense of the black people you denigrate. How can you possibly expect them to release self incriminating statistics that cast dark cloud over their operations and important aspects of the way in which they enforce the law?! Dare I say, white people make up the majority of people in the USA. Let’s pretend what you said is true, should your assertion come as a surprise!? Better still, if were to test the net effect of policing in america by comparatively compiling percentages on which people black or white have had harrowing experiences at the hands of the Police, which ones would come out higher!? You speak of George Soros, an individual, yet I have already told you that one man cannot constitute a movement and that civil rights can only be done from the ground up! I must say your usage of an unarmed and subdued George Floyd’s intoxication levels as justification for his murder for a misdemeanor offence in police custody is quite telling! LoL!! You’re focus is on the electoral aspect of BLM but you neglect to recognise that the core of of its support base, are tired and weary ordinary people who are seeking change of the fundamental issues I talked about in a manner that transcends party lines, elections and various other semantics. Let me remind you again, the reasons at heart of the unification of the people to rally in the streets were police brutality and dealing with the high structural unemployment linked to crime and high incarceration rates as well as poor access to essential services like healthcare. None of the other issues you want to associate with the movement can precede them. Ultimately, the BLM can be abandoned much the same as should any political party if it digresses from that main agenda.
Truth hurts, why don’t you mother phuckers solve your own problems in ten black community? You rely on hate groups to donut for you, once again defying and ignoring what Malcolm X was warning you idiots about: white liberals taking over your cause. BLM admitted to being commie scum, in case you missed that. Stop
Glorifying hoes, baby mamas, guns (that you all don’t know how to operate, nor can legally own, felons) hood rat life, strippers, drugs, gangs, etc. You people can’t blame whitey forever. It’s pathetic when you see migrants working their ass off and making life work for them in America the. You have crt baby blacks born here and they can’t stop shooting each other.
LoL!! In the face of facts you resort to insults! My friend, take a literal interpretation of each and every word that makes up Black Lives Matter! What part of those words defines hate!? The truth is NONE! BLM can subscribe to whatever ideologies it wants to because America is a free country! Remember that!? Your intolerance to other people’s difference of opinion indicates that you are, in actual fact, a true Communist! You’re welcome to stereotype all day and invent the idea of the glorification of “hoes, baby mamas, guns (that you all don’t know how to operate, nor can legally own, felons) hood rat life, strippers, drugs, gangs, etc” as if all black people are living or sworn to agree with that way life but the truth remains, you cannot prove what you are imagining in yiur own head! LoL! What’s worse, if the expression of black people’s concerns to their government is your idea of “blaming whitey” then no-one can help you, I’m afraid! And by they way no-one has an issue with migrants being successful in America. Just remember “migrants” refers to everybody who is not Native American and that includes YOU. LoL!
What? Stop trying to curve the ball BLM is funded by the ones whom created racism, the ones who enslaved all of your ancestors are funding your movment most of the morons protesting for BLM are racist them selves they will not find a new platform to Express them selves they are all sheep being controlled over colorism Yeats ago when BLM first started they went crazy when the news highlighted what they wanted to (get you all worked up) so you did and then the news stopped speaking on it and well so did all of you years pass floyd dies media highlights again you all go crazy it’s like an on and off switch your just another herd of sheep wandering around in circles
Rick Ross is terrible.
Didn’t Officer Ricky make a song bragging about slipping drugs into girls drinks without them knowing so he can take them home and r@pe them?
So what, it is just a song.
But, people like you don’t say shit when people make movies showing black women strippers as heros, black men drug dealers as kings, and black people as slaves, year round. Yet you don’t trip.
My Black people are so fucked up they don’t know which way is up or down, so you enjoy the random festivities of because it sounds.
Ok Bill Cosby whatever you say…
Because it sounds GOOD ENOUGH TO HATE IT.
