Rick Ross Finally Admits to Correction Officer Past

After denying for months that he once worked as a correction officer in Florida, Rick Ross finally admits to his past career. In July, the Smoking Gun discovered the Miami-based rapper's employment records and blogs were a buzz with info that seemed to upset hip-hop fans and critics. We all know law enforcement is the enemy in the rap world, so Ross was immediately out on the spot to respond to the allegations that he was once on the other side of the law. Ross, who's made his name in the game claiming to be a coke-slanging boss, vehemently denied the claims and went as far as saying the records and photos were doctored ... until now.

Yes, it's me," Ross admitted in a recent interview. "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."

because a man tries to hold a honest job (no matter what it is) doesnt make him any less of the person he is now. HE WAS JUST A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER aka JUST WORKED INSIDE THE JAIL. my god, he wasnt a real cop. i know REAL cops that traffic dope so really, you cant say he didnt do any of the shit he said. people get a life so you wont be so pre-occupied by some other mans life.....

Perhaphs there is a reason why Hip Hop (Rap) is on the darker side of the law. Rap seems to constantly degrade women and seems to maintain a violent approach to law and order,while setting a realy bad example for the younger generation. Granted there might be some good and meaningful Rap songs out there but for the most part they set a bad example of human communications.

Wow! Am I missing something or is this whole thing upside down? He's ashamed of holding an honest job and he is boasting about becoming successful off of selling cocaine? Step aside Charles Barkley, here we have a real role model!

Jamie!!

Think you know who this man is?
This possible President of the United States ?? Read Below and
ask yourselves, is this REALLY someone we can see as the
President of our great nation!!!!

Below are a few lines from Obama's books; In his words!

From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'
From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'

And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

* If you have never forwarded an e-mail, now is the time to Do so!!!! We CANNOT have someone with this type of mentality running our GREAT nation!! I don't care whether you're a Democrat - or a Republican. We CANNOT turn ourselves over to this type of character in a President.
