The Official Rick Ross "God Forgives I Don't" Discussion thread (Release Date 07/31/12)

Its fucked up that they wanna ban this niggas shit. BET been turned into a joke, its full of wackass sitcoms and the only show they got thats geared towards music is 106 which is weak. Why the hell they have to can Rap City? Bring back Big tigger and the basement! or Hits from the Streets with that crazy ass nigga.. To get back on topic though, Ross gone shine, with or without BET.

Okay so Stalley just got a 7-Figure endorsement deal with Nike, Meek Mill has a lucrative deal with Puma and Rozay has a 7 Figure deal with Reebok......but the biggest sneakerhead in HipHop (Wale) doesn't have a deal on the table..... 

 

The Rumor is that Wale is highly upset and very emotional and watching some of the body language in this first Vid is very very interesting.

a message from the real rick ross:

Freeway Ricky Ross

‎"My Name is My Name..."http://allhiphop.com/2012/07/​23/​freeway-ricky-ross-response-to-​rick-ross-funk-flex-interview-​with-open-letter/

This is Freeway Rick Ross, I'm writing this to reply to William "Rozay" Robert's interview with Funkmaster Flex last night addressing my lawsuit. In the streets a name is everything, in Hip Hop it is a career maker. William claims that we are both street dudes and could've talked; he and his music label had that chance and thought they could ignore me because I had a life sentence. In prison when you have a federal life sentence you're considered the walking dead, it is exactly for this reason that they dodged me when I sent multiple requests from prison to sit down about the use of my name and image. When I finally chased William down through my guys on the street, we talked via phone, he gave me a number, and said he would come down to the prison to "chop it up". He never came, then changed the phone number.

On the street when you take someone's name and image the first step is to properly approach them, then you can be the lil homie, if they accept. But because he thought I was the walking dead he just stole my name and image. I'm a street dude from LA, it's documented. William is not a street dude. He is a guy from a good background that had to pass background tests to become an Officer. There's nothing wrong with being an Officer, just don't use my name if you were one to gain traction in rap, especially without asking me... (See story for more)TELL THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH, THEY GAVE YOU THE MONEY AND YOU HAVE NEVER SOLD A DRUG. IT'S OK TO BE WILLIAM ROBERTS II, rather than the second Rick Ross.

hey guys the only thing gee757 and hrap have in common with rick ross is fat and overrated

smh@ this swedish meatball take nas dick outta ya damn mouf faggot ya da she male dretox but atleast dretox was a REAL FEMALE! lol

When you're a boss, every move is calculated. Nothing is left to chance, and no opportunity is wasted. On the surface, it might seem like Rick Ross is just making music, but the Maybach Music CEO isn't just putting work in the studio. When Rozay drops his sixth solo album, God Forgives, I Don't, on July 31, he will have completed a plan over a year in the making.

From the album's menacing title to its meaningful cover, from its future rap hits to its well-laid concepts, the Bawse sat down with MTV News at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Washington D.C. for our Hip-Hop Music Preview, breaking down, in his own words, his long-awaited God Forgives, I Don't.

The Title: God Forgives, I Don't

"I knew approaching this album, I wanted to approach titling it a lot different from previous albums. I wanted it to be strong and impactful. The first half is God Forgives: It's a lot of us need forgiveness. I Don't represented the street aspect of life. I feel we have both sides that we deal with in life. I gave 'em one of those feelings that it was a motion picture, a masterpiece, five-star."

The Album Cover

"We actually used a church to shoot some photos in. I remember sitting in the church just waiting for the photographer, and I remember sitting in there praying, just being thankful. I knew I wanted to have 10 Jesus pieces on. Of course, one Jesus piece was always fly, but I just wanted 10. I just wanted to go to that next level."

The Recording Process

"I keep my circle extremely small when it comes to me recording my music. I put the music together before I even put the words to the music, because I feel it's easier for me to write the words and make it fit the music versus me finding music that can fit my words."

The Cinematic Influence

"This may be 'Inglourious Basterds,' man. We gonna peel your scalp back on this one. Quentin Tarantino, that's one of the vibes I was in when I titled the album. I wanted to approach it like a film."

The Tracks

"Hold Me Back": "That's the struggle, the angle I wanted to take on that record once again from somebody who may not have much, but that don't determine where you end up in the game. From struggle to triumph, as long as you stay loyal with your clique and your family, you can overcome whatever. That's how I feel."

"Amsterdam": "It's based around the red light district, but I kinda flipped it where being a boss you gotta get approval for a green light. I'm one of those people you can't green light. As long I've been in this game, there's been a lot of talk, but ain't nobody stepped on these 11 and a half's. The reason being: This is the red light district, you can't move on this side."

"Diced Pineapples": "When I got out of the hospital — you know, I had a seizure last year — when I was leaving, the doctor told me, 'You gotta eat some more fruit, drink you some water, eat fruit and just relax for a little while.' My fruit of choice was pineapples. For the next three weeks, I woke up every morning and ate diced pineapples, and I put the concept together. Drizzy came in, as well as Wale, and it's kinda like, 'She could be my diced pineapple. This special lady, she could be what I wake up to every morning and help me get by every day."

The Five-Word Description

"Classic, untouchable, boss, success, revenge. If you doubted us being here three years ago, five years ago, you don't understand hip-hop, you don't understand the power of rap music."

leggo!
