Just in case you haven’t noticed yet, I’m trying to help you build up your music collection before the weekend’s up!

Rick Ross & Birdman had a meeting of the minds and decided it’d be a great idea to collaborate on an album called The H: The Lost Project with the first track being a song called Pop That P*ssy.

Admittedly, the song itself isn’t that bad, but I would’ve never imagined the two of them doing a full album together on some Jay Z/R. Kelly Best of Both Worlds type shit. But whatever works!

Give the track a listen, and post your thoughts!

Welp, looks like losing that endorsement deal with Reebok was the final straw that prompted Rick Ross to finally release a formal apology for his now infamous date rape lyrics on the original version of Rocko’s U.O.E.N.O (You Don’t Even Know It)…

Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son, and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets. As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize. I recognize that as an artist I have a voice and with that, the power of influence. To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it’s wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it.”

—William Roberts (a.k.a “Rick Ross”)

It’s not looking too good for Rick Ross… Yesterday, he was dropped from his endorsement deal with Reebok, and now, Rocko has released the remix to his track, U.O.E.N.O., without Ross’ now infamous date rape lyrics…

The record with Ross, that will always be the original record. But because of the type of traction that the record has as far as radio and all over the country, it puts me in a position where I have to change it.

Rocko plans to release a new version of U.O.E.N.O. (You Don’t Even Know It) every Thursday for five weeks. Listen to the first remix featuring Future and Wiz Khalifa below. Post your thoughts!

Rick Ross has been under fire ever since his controversial date rape lyrics appeared on Rocko’s latest track, U.O.E.N.O (You Don’t Even Know It). Radio stations have pulled his records from rotation, Women’s Rights Groups have started protesting, and now Reebok has dropped the MMG boss from his endorsement deal.

TMZ reports:

Ross has taken a ton of heat for his song, U.O.E.N.O … in which he happily sings, ‘Put Molly [Ecstasy] all in the champagne. She ain’t even know it. I took her home and I enjoy that. She ain’t even know it.’ Translation — date rape.

Reebok tells TMZ, ‘Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so. While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse.’

Maybe now that he’s lost a major endorsement deal, we’ll get a real apology…. Post your thoughts!

MMG head honcho, Rick Ross, has been under fire for his controversial date rape lyrics on Rocko’s latest track, You Don’t Even Know It. On the verse, he describes slipping his date a molly, and having his way with her… and now those very lyrics have caused radio stations to pull his music from rotation, and Women’s Rights Groups to protest against Reebok, putting his endorsement deal in jeopardy.

Despite all of the controversy surrounding his boss, MMG signee, Meek Mill, decided to join him in the hot seat by defending his lyrics during a recent interview with 93.9 WKYS:

You know man, I don’t even care about nobody criticizing lyrics man. People rap about killing stuff all day man. Biggie said ‘rape your kid, throw her over the bridge,’ back then and it was nothing, it was just hip-hop. Now you got all these weirdos on these social sites voicing their opinions about something anybody say. I don’t care. You know what I’m saying? I’m from the hood. I never really cared about what nobody said in no raps. Raps always been talking about killing, drugs, all types of stuff, you know what I’m saying? So you can’t just criticize no one thing nobody say man. It’s imaginary visuals. If a writer write about somebody getting raped in a movie, is he a rapist or he want girls to get raped? No, he just wrote about that in a movie.

Meek Mill isn’t the only rapper jumping to Ross’ defense. In a recent interview with Jenny Boom Boom, Ace Hood went on record saying, I just think people are taking it too far.

Hmmm. Post your thoughts!

Rick Ross has been under fire since the world caught wind of his controversial, date rape lyrics on Rocko’s new track, U.O.E.N.O. (You Don’t Even Know It), causing radio stations like Michigan’s 103.7 The Beat to pull Ross’ music from their station all together.

Put molly all in her champagne/she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that/she ain’t even know it…

Yesterday, during an interview with Q93.3 in New Orleans, Ross claimed that the lyrics were in fact a misunderstanding…

It’s certain things you can’t tweet, you want people to hear. I wanna make sure this is clear: that women is the most precious gift known to man. There was a misunderstanding with a lyric, a misinterpretation where the term ‘rape’ was used. I would never use the term ‘rape’ in my record. And as far as my camp, hip-hop don’t condone it, the streets don’t condone it, nobody condones that. So I just wanted to reach out to the queens that’s on my time line, the sexy ladies, that had been reaching out to me with the misunderstanding. We don’t condone rape and I’m not with it.

Not sure how one would misinterpret those lyrics… Listen to his full interview below, and post your thoughts!

It’s no secret that you can often find controversial and explicit lyrics throughout the world of hip hop, but when does that go too far? Well one radio station feels that both Rick Ross and Lil Wayne have crossed a line they shouldn’t have with lyrics in recent songs.

Towards the beginning of the year, Wayne came under fire for a line in Future’s Karate Chop (Remix), saying, ‘I’ll beat that p*ssy up like Emmett Till,’ and just this week, Ross has been under scrutiny for his bars in Rocko’s You Don’t Even Know It, which seem to encourage date rape.

Michigan’s 103.7 the Beat isn’t taking any of this lightly, and is taking a stand against these controversial lines. The station has decided not just to pull those specific songs, but all songs from both artists.

Many would say both rappers have taken their lyrical content too far and offended too many. The family and estate of Emmett Till have released a statement of disapproval over Lil Wayne’s disregard and disrespectful lyrics. Though his record label issued a statement of apology, the rapper has yet to do so. In the case of Rick Ross, a petition has been started over his blatant disregard for women and the issue of date rape. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that over 300,000 women are raped or sexually assaulted per year in the United States alone. That is a disturbing number and should not be taken lightly. His lyrics not only condone the behavior, but he boasts about it in the song. While some feel it’s only entertainment, many feel it sends and encourages the wrong message. Several individuals and organizations have taken a stand and so are we. Effective immediately Muskegon’s WUVS-LP 103.7 the Beat has pulled ALL Lil Wayne and Rick Ross music from rotation. We pride ourselves on playing music that is non-degrading and non-violent. While we believe in freedom of speech, creative writing and individualism, we refuse to be part of the problem by spreading messages that could harm or end someone’s life.

Considering that both Weezy and Rozay are featured on damn near every track that hits the airwaves lately, this is a huge step for a station to take.

Do you guys think more stations should follow suit or are they overreacting? Sound off!
