I Got It MADE

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.

sLiiMM CHEDDA

i agree wit dude below me... Rick Ross is wackkkk and i dont know why niggahs wud like him..smh

fake ass dude... tlk shit bout the police when your name was officer rucky not too long ago

Young A

If his music watered down then what's 50's? lol

chickenwings

if it aint a big deal to work in law enforcement, why the fuck did you lie about it for 6 months you dumb fuck? you only admitted to it when you found out your former co-workers got ahold of 50 and gave him your graduation video. britney spears hittin a dudes car with her umbrella is 100x more gangsta then you'll ever be fag

SP3unit

The only reason dudes support Ross is cos they hate 50 cent. Look at Bang Em, that dude just got out of prison, where i hear CO's are hated with a passion, and has teamed up with the biggest CO and fraud to be in hip-hop ever.

The reason why Ja got demolished from the scene so fast was cos every1 at that point in time loved 50. Nowadays 50 is the most hated dude in music and you already know if this 50 vs Ross took place in '03 i think Ross wouldve killed himself from all the hate that he would've recieved.

Even Ja was dropping hot music at the time of his demise but the fans wern't buying into the fake shit and lets be honest even Ja has more street cred than Ross at the moment lol.

LawrenceSouljah

Nah but we can criticize niggas who fronted like they was the new Tony Montana when they were just above being a rent a cop.

Flipperacci

Co-sign.

He's turning himself into the next Fat Joe. He'll only put out hit singles with collabo's.

The only hit he got without a collabo was 'Hustlin' as far as I know. Everything what came after that was hot cuz it had featurings.

People can hate 50 that 'I Get It In' and 'Get Up' are wack but at least he did those by himself.Imagine If 50 would work with Lil Wayne and T-Pain on his album he would def sell more then 1 million the first week and guaranteed nr 1 on the charts for a long time . That way it would be over for a lot niggaz in Hip Hop.

Disco Inferno, Many Men, Just A Lil Bit, I Get Money, Wanksta, In Da Club, U Not Like Me, and If I Can't, those are all hit singles 50 did all by himself. Rick Ross, Game, Fat Joe, Ja Rule can't or couldn't even achieve that.
People need to realize that 50's succes is still not reachable for most artist.

kingjanjic

yea these days, def jam albums only have def jam artists on it, they niggas tried of paying other labels to use their artists on features haha, they got smarter n just use their own artists

If you listen to rick ross you are promoting cops to get in the hip hop game.
Rick ross is a undercover government agent that has the assignment of destroying hip hop. He is paul walker in the fast and the furious. Dont be fooled by his antics. Us real hip hop fans can see through the badge. Do not let rick ross arrest hip hop and lock it up in jail for life.

This album shouldn't be called Deeper Then Rap.
