My Mum thought Molly was a date rape drug untill I explained to her that it’s Extasy and not the same as a Roofie which old people mistake it for. Molly makes you hyper, it doesent knock you out, LOL. I love rape-rap and Tyler the Creator is my favorite rapist, Ross is a newbie.
When you are rich and succesful you don’t have to drug women you can have groupies around the world willing to do whatever you ask. I can’t speak on his child’s mother I’ve never heard anything about her but I’m sure she gets a nice child support check every month to support their child.

If I’m hungry I’ll eat it all

YO DIDNT I TELL U THIS NIGGA NEEDS DRAKE TO BAIL HIM OUT AND GET HIS MUSIC NOTICED. OFFICER ROZAY NEEDS COLLABS WITH DRAKE AND JAY LIKE A FAT KID NEEDS CAKE. WITHOUT THEM HE’D BE WASHED.
That would make sense if it wasn’t a fact that Ross two platinum singles didn’t have Drake on it but his Gold selling single was the one with Drake on it.
Ross isn’t the new Biggie, Heavy D, or Big Pun, he’s a southern artist first and foremost with his own style that can’t really be compared especially to dead legends.
Physically Ross and Biggie were both large dark-skinned men with a flair for fashion but they are different.
if a good year is ross getting shot at, cancelling his tour, getting dropped from reebok, gunplay getting knocked out at his own show and meek mill getting ethered by cassidy
People from the Hood get shot at very day but the goal is to survive. (R.I.P P-Nut)
Reebok picked him back up once the controversy over the Extasy lyrics died down but on the endorsement side the profits came in from Ciroc & Belaire Rose and they added an additional 3 Wingstop franchise to the empire for a total of six.
The 4 cancelled tour dates where made up and this years shows in Dubai, South Africa, London, & the Bahamas were well recepted. You missed a great concert earlier this year in Los Angela’s with a live band (1500 or nothing)
Gunplay is a wild street dude, he will continue to get in fights he’ll win some and he’ll lose some and he loves every minute of it, his debut album on Def Jam will be dropping next year.
I sincerely doubt Meek Mill is overly concerned about underground diss records at this juncture of his career, he has endorsements from Monster and Puma in addition to garnering 35-40K a show.
In regards to music MMG had a good year with:
“Bugatti” by Ace Hood feat Rick Ross went platinum
“No new Friends” by DJ Khaled feat Drake, LiL Wayne & Rick Ross went Gold
“Bad” by Wale being certified platinum and his 3rd album “The Gifted” selling 350K copies ranking it the 6-7 best selling HipHop record of 2013, a possible Grammy nomination is rumored.
“U.O.E.N.O” by Rocko feat Rick Ross also made the Top 20 on Billboard.
Other notable succes was Gunplay beating a possible life sentence, Rockie Fresh getting an endorsement from Puma, Stalley getting his first retail release dor his EP “Honest Cowboy”,
Ross making his acting debut on Encores “Magic City” and being the sole rapper featured on JayZ’s multi-platinum album “Magna Carter”.
MMG also added Young Sav to an executive position on the label and DC spitter Fat Trel to a recording contract.
To stay updated on this label that you seem to follow to some degree just go to Ross webste that he relaunched this year called “Rozay Raw”
If you can type fast, read fast, and comprehend fast then that post wasn’t too much ro digest especially if you are multi-tasking and watching the Texas Vs Oklahoma game which is 13-23 Texas at the moment.
For someone Gunplays size he held himself pretty well against 4 men in the BET mele, most dudes nowadays are too afraid ro fight and either shoot first, run or hide behind bodyguards.
I must co-sign these two commenters are hella good at PR. I can’t even knock ya’ll on that..The spin you guys just put on almost had me siding with MMG LMAO
Drake been carrying this niccas career on his back for years now!!! Ross would be lost if he couldnt rely on Drake, Wayne and Jay-z to put him on hits or make his records hits
That’s a cool theory but us people who are familiar with money know that millionairs can have their cars custom made which is why Shaquille O’Neil is over 7 feet tall and 350lbs and has a Porshe, a Lambourghini, and a Ferrari.
I don’t think working in a minimum facility for a year would get you connections, you typically have to spend years building relationships and earning trust before you can get connected.
Awesome dude but 6 months is for training outside the facility, Corrections isn’t an occupation where they let you learn on the job starting day 1 inside the facility.
If Justin Bieber comes out with a new album next month of banging trap songs talking about moving bricks and thug life etc would that be cool with you guys? Just wondering!
What if Jaden Smith made a hot album about trappin and moving work in the hood? Would you guys defend that shit too?
If the white-skinned Justin Beiber was from a hood like Carol City and grew up in that’ environment I’d have no problem with him rapping about street life and criminal activity.
I can listen to Eminem rap about murdering people, raping his mother, being molested by his
step-dad, kissing male mannequins and having sex with underage girls and I’m cool with that…I would defend the fact that Eminem making racist rap songs and still being accepted within the HipHop community is ironic.
I wouldn’t defend Jaden Smith teaming a trap album or moving work in the hood unless he grew up in an environment were those activities took place, for example a place like Carol City Miami where the Boobie Boys and other drug gangs were major due ro Miami being a port city and the cocaine capital of America during that era.
If Ross initially grew up in a rough neighborhood, he didnt stay. In 1992, when Ross was 16, county records show that his mother, Tommie Roberts, purchased a 2,300 square foot home in Rolling Oaks Estates, an upscale cul-de-sac community in Miami Gardens.
Carol City is beautiful as a city, it’s only 6% white so their is a lot of Black & Latino unity, that’s why Maybach Latino is a sub division of Maybach Music. It’s a lot of Cubans, Haitians, Dominicans and Jamaicans down there, I’m originally from Liberty City. Its a lot better than it was back in the day when crack was big but I’d rather live in South Beach which is paradise.
“The racial makeup of the CDP was 52.10% African American, 38.11% White (6.4% were Non-Hispanic White,).[7] 0.55% Asian, 0.19% Native American, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 5.53% from other races, and 3.48% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 42.00% of the population.”
Public records show that William “Rozay” Roberts attended and graduated from Carol City High school and the Wikipedia page for the racial demographics of the school show that it’s only 1% white with an 85% Black enrollment.
Public records also show that William “Rozay Roberts attended Albany State which is a historically Black college.
I’m sure Ross gets plenty of groupies but I can tell he likes Black chicks because he’s been with Shateria, Elise Neal, Keyshia Katore & that rapper braud Primadonna.
“The Massacre” sold 5 million in 2005
“Before I Self Destruct” sold 500,000 copies in 2009.
How does an artist lose 4 and a half million fans in 4 years?
I have never seen a rapper fall off like that with every album they drop selling half of what the precious one did.
“Get Rich or Die trying” = 8 million
“The Massacre” = 5 million
” Curtis” = 1 million
“Before I Self Destruct” = 436,000
A downhill career in regards to sales, once the hype died down and people saw that 50 Cent was just Ja Rule on steroids they jumped off the bandwagon and jumped on the LiL Wayne bandwagon.
LiL Wayne has had incredibly longevity to add to his legacy while a rapper like 50Cent was just an overhyped product of Eminems popularity and fizzled out fast.
50 cents career wasnt ended by Ross, it was ended by bitchass supporting and skinny pants wearing hipster faggots. 50 is still strong and alive, his latest singles are still better than anything Ross has put out, lets see how SK does before we reserve judgement, and also, the fucking morons that are comparing Get Rich or Die Trying with Before I Self Destruct, its calle less fucking people actually buying albums and more people downloading songs. Fucking morons, and also, gangsta rap has been on the decline, which is the real reason why 50 cent is not as relevant as he used to be. He refuses to change his standards..
This shit was pretty unnecessary. Ross got no biz hopping on Drizzys hits like that! If Drake was black it would be one thing but cmon hes only half black where Rozay’s black pride?
I wanna know why william never talks about coming from a good home doing well in school playing football in college going to university to study a great thing like criminal justice having a good job as a C.O. earning a good wage and living a good normal life. theres nothing wrong with that. the fact he never talks about it and hides it says a lot about him.
why do you call it a remix???
it’s not a remix, he just spits a verse on a Drake beat
Yup that’s a remix. Good tune, much better with a rap verse on there.
Filnobep’s parody is better
Laughed when I first saw it but then I heard it. Not a bad re-work.
Dope.
Itz Aiight.
Hot
He at least spit some bars unlike Drake!
Ricky showing kids how to act! 5/5 probably best remix yet.
act like a fraud?
Awkwardly good .:
Lmao At MMG Playboy !!!
Ehh it’s ok
5/5 Dope. Ross been on point lately.
No.

hold on, we’re going home and she ain’t even know it!
we’re going home to date rape!!! Officer Rape Ross!!
My Mum thought Molly was a date rape drug untill I explained to her that it’s Extasy and not the same as a Roofie which old people mistake it for. Molly makes you hyper, it doesent knock you out, LOL. I love rape-rap and Tyler the Creator is my favorite rapist, Ross is a newbie.
When you fat like him u have to resort to drugging ladies to get laid. Why do you think his childs mother is a prostitute???
When you are rich and succesful you don’t have to drug women you can have groupies around the world willing to do whatever you ask. I can’t speak on his child’s mother I’ve never heard anything about her but I’m sure she gets a nice child support check every month to support their child.
kid gonna get clowned hard in high school. daddys a fraud and mommys a whore.

Officer william roberts went the fuck in! The hip hop game is a prison and he got it on lockdown!! He is the motherfucking warden.
Are U white or just pretending to be?
mexican
YO DIDNT I TELL U THIS NIGGA NEEDS DRAKE TO BAIL HIM OUT AND GET HIS MUSIC NOTICED. OFFICER ROZAY NEEDS COLLABS WITH DRAKE AND JAY LIKE A FAT KID NEEDS CAKE. WITHOUT THEM HE’D BE WASHED.
That would make sense if it wasn’t a fact that Ross two platinum singles didn’t have Drake on it but his Gold selling single was the one with Drake on it.
Ross hasnt had a plat single since 2008 and that was thanks to T-Pain who was making everyones songs hot around that time
hes more famous and bigger than notorious BIG.
rick ross = new biggie
“We the Knights of the Templar, dirty little nicca with ten cars”
“This whole clique another Enron, babygirl it’s time for you to get gone”
“Hood nicca with a Escrow”
Ross mean with that pen game!
LOL no where close to as famous and never will be
Dope remix!
Ross isn’t the new Biggie, Heavy D, or Big Pun, he’s a southern artist first and foremost with his own style that can’t really be compared especially to dead legends.
Physically Ross and Biggie were both large dark-skinned men with a flair for fashion but they are different.
On a side note MMG had a good year this year.
if a good year is ross getting shot at, cancelling his tour, getting dropped from reebok, gunplay getting knocked out at his own show and meek mill getting ethered by cassidy
People from the Hood get shot at very day but the goal is to survive. (R.I.P P-Nut)
Reebok picked him back up once the controversy over the Extasy lyrics died down but on the endorsement side the profits came in from Ciroc & Belaire Rose and they added an additional 3 Wingstop franchise to the empire for a total of six.
The 4 cancelled tour dates where made up and this years shows in Dubai, South Africa, London, & the Bahamas were well recepted. You missed a great concert earlier this year in Los Angela’s with a live band (1500 or nothing)
Gunplay is a wild street dude, he will continue to get in fights he’ll win some and he’ll lose some and he loves every minute of it, his debut album on Def Jam will be dropping next year.
I sincerely doubt Meek Mill is overly concerned about underground diss records at this juncture of his career, he has endorsements from Monster and Puma in addition to garnering 35-40K a show.

To stay updated on this label that you seem to follow to some degree just go to Ross webste that he relaunched this year called “Rozay Raw”
how much they pay you do write all that?
win some and lose some?? LOL gunplay hasnt won a fight yet dog
if he really is back with Reebok they aren’t saying anything about it. Must be ashamed to have a rapist on the team
If you can type fast, read fast, and comprehend fast then that post wasn’t too much ro digest especially if you are multi-tasking and watching the Texas Vs Oklahoma game which is 13-23 Texas at the moment.
For someone Gunplays size he held himself pretty well against 4 men in the BET mele, most dudes nowadays are too afraid ro fight and either shoot first, run or hide behind bodyguards.
im talking bout him getting K.O.’d at his own show in his own state for talking tough AGAIN!!! nigga looked like a statue
Rappers get knocked out all the time. That’s what makes them tough. And I have seen Gunplay won a fight about 2 weeks ago.
his dog doesnt count
If this dude doesnt work for MMG he should! he can put a postive spin on anything! I bet you coulda stopped that Reebok shit from going down LOL
I must co-sign these two commenters are hella good at PR. I can’t even knock ya’ll on that..The spin you guys just put on almost had me siding with MMG LMAO
when ross said “bad bitch i hope she bout it” he was hoping that the bad bitch is into sex with fat sloppy bastards who cant see their own dick
I can’t speak on another mans penis but “Fuckwitmeyouknowigotit” is one of my favorite songs off JayZs album.
of course it is, you ross biggest fan boy
You are my biggest fan boy and you love it
Drake been carrying this niccas career on his back for years now!!! Ross would be lost if he couldnt rely on Drake, Wayne and Jay-z to put him on hits or make his records hits
Hahaha,can i have whatever u smoking?
its true! Drake and Wayne have been responsible for almost every hit this guy has had in the last 3 years
“B.M.F” was huge it might not have been big on the pop charts but it was Hot in the streets.
If Drake & Wayne are the formula to make hit records for Ross then he should stick with that winning formula untill they stop making Hits.
bmf was his last solo hit
Nigga rappin about ferrari’s when we all know his fat ass cant fit inside one
That’s a cool theory but us people who are familiar with money know that millionairs can have their cars custom made which is why Shaquille O’Neil is over 7 feet tall and 350lbs and has a Porshe, a Lambourghini, and a Ferrari.
wouldnt it be easier to get some slim fast and drop 150 lbs?
Did Ross just say ‘this whole click another Enron?’
So MMG’s gonna all end up bankrupt and in jail?
At least he got them inside connections so he’ll probably eat good in prison
I don’t think working in a minimum facility for a year would get you connections, you typically have to spend years building relationships and earning trust before you can get connected.
18 months is more than a year
Awesome dude but 6 months is for training outside the facility, Corrections isn’t an occupation where they let you learn on the job starting day 1 inside the facility.
you must work for him. you seem to have all the answers
If Justin Bieber comes out with a new album next month of banging trap songs talking about moving bricks and thug life etc would that be cool with you guys? Just wondering!
What if Jaden Smith made a hot album about trappin and moving work in the hood? Would you guys defend that shit too?

Carol City aint no hood, stop it
If Ross initially grew up in a rough neighborhood, he didnt stay. In 1992, when Ross was 16, county records show that his mother, Tommie Roberts, purchased a 2,300 square foot home in Rolling Oaks Estates, an upscale cul-de-sac community in Miami Gardens.

keep makign shit up dawg!! 6% white LOL sure!!
“The racial makeup of the CDP was 52.10% African American, 38.11% White (6.4% were Non-Hispanic White,).[7] 0.55% Asian, 0.19% Native American, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 5.53% from other races, and 3.48% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 42.00% of the population.”
I like the article the white kid posted:
52% African American
42% Hispanic/Latino
6% NON Hispanic White
Many Latinos classify themselves as white especially Cubans which is why the Census uses the term NoN Hispanic white.
Public records show that William “Rozay” Roberts attended and graduated from Carol City High school and the Wikipedia page for the racial demographics of the school show that it’s only 1% white with an 85% Black enrollment.
Public records also show that William “Rozay Roberts attended Albany State which is a historically Black college.
that dont make him real, it just means he grew up surrounded by niggas
Rick Ross will go gold again with mastermind. He’s proven himself to be a legend. He ended 50’s career and girls love him.
LOL aint no girls love this fat slob
how he ruin 50’s career if 50 still makes more money
It’s no secret that woman love succesful men.
Yes 50Cents rap career was ended but he still has plenty of business ventures to console himself.
his flops singles been out performing anything Ross has released for mastermind thus far
MMG have released 12 retail albums since the last time 50Cent released an album.
Ross has two Gold albums since the war he won against 50Cent.
It was a brilliant chess move to go to war with 50cent because Ross went from just another southern rapper to a CEO/Mogul and a branding machine.
“LOL aint no girls love this fat slob”
There’s chicks in every video Ross does.
Also, Ross earned more and donated it to charities round the world. He made a donation of 10 million to help starving children in africa.
You know those chicks get paid to be in the videos right? LOL
12 retails albums and all of them put together aint sell more than the massacre LOL
I’m sure Ross gets plenty of groupies but I can tell he likes Black chicks because he’s been with Shateria, Elise Neal, Keyshia Katore & that rapper braud Primadonna.
“The Massacre” sold 5 million in 2005
“Before I Self Destruct” sold 500,000 copies in 2009.

oh word? primadonna looks like a man,

hes talking about cheeseburgers
If I’m hungry I’ll eat it all
If I’m hungry I’ll eat it all
I’ll just leave you the bones
If I’m hungry I’ll eat it all
Probably even the bones
HATERS GONE HATE
Fat jokes never get old
DICKRIDERS GONE DICKRIDE
Be real, you came to a Rick Ross song and wrote a fake verse about him eating food, shit is weird
i copied and pasted it. someone made a whole rick ross parody to this song about him eating called “Hold On, I’ll Eat it All”
MC Gusto makes nothing but hits!!!
I just dont feel like I could be included in their movement, I miss G Unit, they made me feel like I could be a part of their movement because of EM.
ross stan doing his reverse trolling trying to make 50 cent fans look bad when hes the most pathetic nicca on here writing essays defending his hero
How long have you been following him and why is it so easy for him to troll you?
Are you a fan of Ross music or just on here to read his essays?
….kinda creepy don’t ya think?
Wow dude, its okay to get pissed if dude is trolling you and your favorite rap group but calling him the N word is NOT cool. Chill out.
how is he trolling me? hes the one writing paragraph after paragraph all i gotta say is one word to make him go off on a rant LOL
Dope freestyle
This shit was pretty unnecessary. Ross got no biz hopping on Drizzys hits like that! If Drake was black it would be one thing but cmon hes only half black where Rozay’s black pride?
@BruthDee
Song title should have been
“Hold on, We’re Going Home…. And She Ain’t Eeeeeeen Know It”
Drake ain’t never had to rape a bitch to get his dick wet.
Niceee,fab’s voice
“Just hold on, a big mac meeeeeeeal”
(Drake screach) ” big mac mealllllllll”
I wanna know why william never talks about coming from a good home doing well in school playing football in college going to university to study a great thing like criminal justice having a good job as a C.O. earning a good wage and living a good normal life. theres nothing wrong with that. the fact he never talks about it and hides it says a lot about him.
when you live a lie for long enough, eventually you start believing those lies are in fact the truth. William is trapped in a lie
That’s a really, really good point. If he were to come clean, it would clear a lot of bullsh*t. song sucks though
straight booty juice!
trash. really trash
STOP THE GUNS. AMERICA WOULD BE SAFER PLACE
only substance ross has is in girls drinks!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
terrible. not even a Drake fan, but I’d much rather hear the original.
Smoothhh could have been the original
