Rick Ross Justifies Prison-Guard Past In New Track

Rick Ross Justifies Prison-Guard Past In New Track
MTV News gets a sneak peek at Deeper Than Rap.

When MTV News had the chance to listen to Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap on Monday, two things stood out to us immediately about the much-discussed track "Valley of Death": It does not feature Lil Wayne as advertised, at least not on the album, which is due out on April 21. But Ross does speak briefly on his controversial stint as a prison guard.

"N---a never had a gun and badge," he stresses, dismissing the word that he was indeed an officer of the law. "Can't criticize n---as trying to get a job."

Later he implies that while he was working as a corrections officer, he was also on the streets, declaring that he had "two jobs."

"I'll C.O. so we could bow our head and pray over the meatloaf," Ross rhymes. "You can label me the biggest label in the game."

On "Face," Ross teams with Trina to talk about receiving oral sex while driving in traffic. "Bossy Lady," meanwhile, is more of a grown and sexy track, which features Ne-Yo on the hook. "Baby, you will shine just like I do," Ne-Yo sings. "Just like you're supposed to/ Everybody knows you're the boss' girl/ Envy of all your friends/ Moves that we're making got us on top of the world/ Baby, you're the boss' girl. ..."

Rick makes a bevy of promises to his woman on the song and even spews a few satirical lines. "My kicks Brown, now I'm lookin' for Rihanna and them."

"The fat Tommy Lee, I made out with, like, eight broads," the Miami kingpin jokes on "Yacht Club," a ragamuffin-inspired party record that features newest signee to the Maybach Music group, reggae artist Magazeen.

Robin Thicke checks in on "Lay Back," another party jam aimed at the ladies. "If you came to get this party started, girl, just say, 'Dadadadada,' " Thicke commands. "Take off your clothes and just lay back."

"Shawty laid back, so we laid up," Ross raps. "When I fade to black, we made up.../ My car's a virgin, first one to hit it."

For the most part, the production on the album is cinematic, thematic and soulfully rich. The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Drumma Boy, DJ Toomp, the Inkredibles and the Runners are among the main producers. T-Pain, John Legend, Lil Wayne, Nas and Kanye West are among the guest stars. Mary J. Blige, who Ross beamed about working with, is not on the LP.

Deeper Than Rap's track listing, according to Def Jam:

"Mafia Music"
"Maybach Music 2"(featuring Lil Wayne, Kanye West and T-Pain)
"Magnificent" (featuring John Legend)
"Yacht Club" (featuring Magazeen)

heres my stance
If he had came out bak in 06 of whenever he started and admitted all this to begin with, thatd hav been kl in my eyes. Well, not cool, but OK. U kno what i mean....

But the fact he's decided to continue with this fabricated drug dealer ish is so stupid!

And the album lks like it has too many collabs on there. Too many singers n shit
