    Like these hoes care about reebok sneakers

    all becuz of a ? line?


    cmon eminem talked about ? his mother, killing his baby mother a couple times, and doing coke, ecstasy



    and that album went diamond



    yet ross gets tormented by these ?



    double standards are terrible

    *doesn't remember the early 2000s when the pink mafia and feminists was on his ass and he had to cop out by performing with Elton John at the Grammys post*

    The difference with Em was he always took responsibility for his words. He put it out there that it's only entertainment and shouldn't be taken seriously. He eventually toned it down with Recovery. And not capin for dude and the outlandish ? he said, but he at least acknowledges that there's a line.

    There's nothing wrong with entertaining the public and sayin some ? up ? for shock value, that's part of hip hop. But if you can't bring perspective to what you're saying, you're just being irresponsible. We all know that Ross prides himself on being "trill", even though 90% of what he says is some fabricated ? ... so it looks worse on him when he says ? like that, cuz he doesn't draw the line between reality and entertainment. Plus that "explanation" was the biggest cop out ever.

    So what you're saying is that all Ross has to do to get past this is perform at the Grammy's w/ Frank Ocean & Lady Gaga and all will be forgiven?

    Eventually toned it down w/ Recovery lmao a decade later and ?

    The sad thing in all of this is the groupie hoe Ross was referring to prolly would've let him smash anyway. Ross dumb as hell and heonteenoit

    "I ? and pillage your village, women and children"
    -Jay-Z's verse in Kanye's track Monster


    Personally I don't condone any of these rappers taking about ? like this but how does Jay-Z get away with it even though he blatantly said it while Ross is the subject of public outrage?

    Y'all already know my stance on this, i fully agree with them. Ross is 100% wrong for that,

    BUT..

    My problem with things like this is that crowd that wants to step on anybody famous for a cause, which basically is hidden agenda. Half the ppl in them videos dont even listen to hip-hop yet now they pay attention to Rick Ross words?

    I just dislike ppl who'll try to step on somebody to get theirs even if it's for a good cause. That's how they did 2pac before he even had a trial for the ? case.

    They're basically trying to make people pay attention to ? in general but they're now using Ross, who's popular and has a popular song, to make people pay attention. In order to do that they'll make him out to be the villain which i don't like. Dont get it twisted, Ross is 100% wrong for them lyrics and alot of other lyrics but ijs.

    X's line was the coldest, but it described revenge:

    "And if you got a daughter older than 15, I'ma ? her/take her/on living room floor/right there in front of you/ then ask you, 'seriously, what you gonna do?'"

    But it fits the song, so no one thinks X was just randomly snatching up broads.

    Right now, we have a new phenomena called "petitions". Bitterness and non money gettin is at an all time high. So people wasted the time they could be gettin money, thinkin of ways to try to stop others money. Of course its arbitrary why they go after say Ross, and not others. Like shock value nonsense lyrics are a new thing.

    All the violence that rappers rap about in there songs why now do they try to take action on a line about ? ?
    So ? >>>> Talking about selling drugs and murdering people now?

    I get what you're saying, but your logic is flawed...
    ppl being upset about this doesn't mean no one deplores the other stuff...
    ppl should b up in arms about this... as well as the other ? ...
