The growing beef between 50 Cent and his Southern enemies Rick Ross and DJ Khaled is escalating to the point of no return. I stated before that 50 was disgusting for some of the things that he says and does but this is an all time low. This beef should have been kept strictly on wax or at least between the parties involved and not family members. You be the judge. Is 50 taking this too far ???
The growing war of words between 50 Cent and Rick Ross has totally gotten out of hand. In this video 50 Cent interviews the mother of Rick Ross’ son. The video is very embarrassing for Ross and is sure to harm his street cred even more that the C.O. rumors. 50 decided to do the video after Ross said that his diss record “Try Me:Officer Rick” was trash and gave him 48 hours to come out with something better. It’s sad that 50 always has to resort to personal attacks instead of keeping the beef on wax as the old schoolers used to do. Ross thought that 50 would keep it Hip Hop and use music as his form of retaliation. Obviously, he doesn’t know 50. SMH.
This is a new single from “The Boss”. The song is centered around what seems to be the favorite topic to the majority of rappers today which is how much “Swagger” they have. This song is a demo that Ross sent to Jamie Foxx and Akon which he wants to include on his new album “Bigger Than Rap” that should be released in the first quarter of 09′. “”Swagger Up” contains a sample of the 1980’s hit song “Nite And Day” by Al B Sure. What do you think of the demo ?
Our sources in Miami tell us that rapper Rick Ross had a party last night in Miami to celebrate “Trilla” going platinum and it was Dead As Hell. Promoters for Club 112 in North Miami had hoped for another successful Sunday night in the Strip Club turned Night Club. Club 112 was formerly Crazy Horse which featured male and female strippers but the club was a failure. The promoters had been optimistic because of a string of recent success at the club on Sundays including a night with Young Jeezy and Plies who both packed 112 which is the largest club in Miami. Miami is Ross’ hometown and he claims that he is the “Mayor” (not Trick Daddy) but out of towners were able to pack the house while he couldn’t.
To make things worse, the promoters got into a physical altercation with Ross and his entourage. One of Ross’ people got hit over the head with a champagne bottle. Many people are saying that Ross took a big hit when the news of his former job as a C.O. was revealed. Our sources tell us that his former gig is old news to those in the music biz in the Miami area but he lost respect because he continues to deny it. The question has to be asked, did the rumors hurt Ross’ street cred and will he recover ??? Stay Tuned.
Another single from The Boss and Birdman off of their collabo album tilted “The H” due Dec 2, 2008.
These collabo alums are becoming very popular these days. First T Pain and Lil Wayne announced forming T-Wayne, then Nelly and T.I. announced news of their project. Now comes word of The Boss, Rick Ross, and Baby the Birdman doing an album. This is the first single “Sun Come Up” which contains a sample of Freddie Jackson’s 80’s hit “Have You Ever Loved Somebody”. The album is titled “The H” and is due Dec 2, 2008.
For weeks now rumors of a former job as a correctional officer have dogged Miami rapper Rick Ross. Ross brags of his days as a major player in the dope game constantly, so the allegations threatened his street cred. Now an article by Hip Hop Weekly threatens to make the situation worse. The problem is, Ross says that portions of the interview were manufactured. These are statements from Ross that can be found on his website http://capriscorp.com/deeperthanrap/?p=848 :
After claiming he was conducting an interview for Don Diva Magazine, Sam Ferguson was granted an interview in which Ross took him to his hood in Carol City where and reflected on his early days of hustling and his current success. The story was later ran and titled by Hip-Hop Weekly as “The Man Behind the Admission” and contained questions with answers that where never asked while Rick Ross was present.
“There is nothing to admit. I’m a made man with nothing to prove. I’mma 10millionaire” Ross later added, “niggas must really be broke to be going to these measures. I’m happy to help niggas sell they magazines but don’t feel you can disrespect the set. Sam Ferguson is a liar, he’s an informant, he’s a rat, he’s a Bitch. I hope he’s offended; get at me in the streets nigga you know how we play. This sh*t about to get Deeper Than Rap.” If Hip-Hop Weekly disputes this they should release the audio and play the world the so called “Admission”. Which they won’t do; it doesn’t exist.
The article that Ross is upset over was actually published in Don Diva Magazine. The article in Hip Hop Weekly is about the interviewer, Sam Ferguson, who has a long history on the Miami music scene and has known Ross personally for over 10 years. Ferguson is the narrator for the M.I.Y.A.Y.O. DVD which Ross produced.
The first paragraph of the Don Diva article:
“Ross and Sam laid back in the Chevy outside Ross’ Mom’s house in the heart of Carol City; the city he’s carried on his back since the inception of his career. In the Kush-clouded car, Ross wasted little time in getting to the matter at hand, ‘Who is that in the picture Ross,’ we asked. ‘It was me,’ he boldly declared. ‘Why did you deny it before,’ we inquired? ‘I done been up and down and that’s what make me who I am. I never ratted on a nigger! I never prosecuted a nigger! I never locked up a nigger that is first and foremost. I always felt that me being the nigga I am, I never owed a nigga an explanation.”
Hip Hop Weekly’s Article, “The Man Behind the Admission”
The article Rick Ross is referring to in Hip Hop Weekly, is not even actually about Ross but about P-Man Sam who interviewed him. The article mostly centers around Sam’s history and his roots in hip hop and his relationship with Ross. There’s only two direct references to Rick Ross’ C.O. allegations. The first being when HHW says, “Ross decided to come clean about his past. He reached out to someone he knew would allow him a chance to tell his story in his own words; he reached out to P-Man Sam,” which is exactly what he said in the Don Diva interview. The second was a direct quote from Sam himself, in trying to defend Ross he said, “One of the things about the situation is that it is so not relevant to his life that it didn’t make sense. I knew from his [Rick's] perspective how he felt about it, and I wanted people to kinda’ understand, the correction officer thing was just a young boy doing his thing… You’re looking at 18 months, to define the character of a man in his 30’s, and that’s not fair. People that know him can attest to the fact that he’s been through a lot. He’s a straight guy, a grinder. I won’t say he was out here making millions, but he wasn’t out here locking people up either.”
Ross continues to deny all allegations even though sources close to him, including his own sister, have confirmed that he worked as a C.O. in a Miami prison in the 1990’s.

Mr. Ross has been in the news quite a bit lately with the accusations of him once being employed as a correctional officer and the shooting at his charity event. Through it all the self proclaimed ‘Boss of All Bosses’ has been hard at work on his new album “Bigger Than Rap” due later this year. This is a single from the album titled “We At War”. The track is cool with a little reggae vibe.
This song is actually pretty old in the Miami area. But I decided to put it up because I get alot of requests about Ball Greezy from our Southern visitors. This is the remix of the popular club banger featuring Ross. Greezy is a Miami native and is signed to the Iconz label. You should remember The iconz from the song “Get Crunk Up”. For those who don’t know, a “Shone” is a girl that’s basically down for whatever sexually.
