Rick Ross Admits To Being A Correctional Officer

Rick Ross has opened up to the public about being a correctional officer before becoming a rapper. In the newest issue of Don Diva Magazine he admits he was a Florida Correctional officer for 18 months. He also had this to say:

"Yes, it's me," Ross tells Don Diva. "I never tried to hide my past. I put my name inside my CDs. My company has my [Social Security number]. I could've put a company name...I done been up and I done been down and that's what makes me what I am. I never ratted on a nigga. I never prosecuted a nigga. I never locked up a nigga, that's first and foremost. I always felt that me being the nigga that I am, I never owed a nigga an explanation. When I'm making my music and I'm talking about blow, it's because I did it. When I say that I'm rich off cocaine, it's because I did it. Those are the street principals that apply."

Personally I dont really care if he was a correctional police officer cause that's neither here nor there. If he did do everything he rapped about that's fine, if not that's fine too. I dont buy his albums or post his freestyles based on the fact he used to sell drugs. I support because I feel like he is a talented artist. His past is his past, for whatever reason he didnt want to come out and admit it before, is his choice entirely. Hip-Hop has seen worse and let worse go [i.e Wayne Kissing Baby in the MOUTH] so this situation can not be that big. His success took a shot at him. Shouts out to Rick Ross, visit www.deeperthanrap.com,  I believe that is also the name of his upcoming album or maybe it is a mixtape....I am not sure, I will get back to you on that one lol. 

In the mean time, lets get back to the Music

They Say History Repeats Itself Right? (John McLame Edition)

I got an email with this information. I will let you make a decision....



When the savings and loan industry collapsed, Keating’s failed company put taxpayers on the hook for $3.4 billion and more than 20,000 Americans lost their savings. John McCain was reprimanded by the bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee, but the ultimate cost of the crisis to American taxpayers reached more than $120 billion.

The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today’s credit crisis, where a lack of regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry and Congress has allowed banks to make risky loans and profit by bending the rules. And in both cases, John McCain’s judgment and values have placed him on the wrong side of history.

Soulja Boy Enjoys His Success [Rich Ni*** Sh*t Part 3]

HAHA! When you leak every song on your album and still go platinum, set a Guinness Book Of World Records on ringtone sales, have the X-Games officially change the move formerly called "The Superman" to the "Soulja Boy", and then get a contract with YouTube where any video you post you receive 15 cents a comment than you can do stuff like this lol...
