Killer Mike Speaks on the Officer Ross Debacle

From Rhapsody’s Rhap Session with Mike:
On credibility in hip-hop and Rick Ross’ alleged past career as a prison guard
I’m not speaking relative to or in opposition of Rick Ross in this next statement, but I will say this: my father was an Atlanta police officer and my mother was a known drug trafficker, in addition to being a business owner and pretty smart, savvy black woman. And I’ve never hid either of those facts. I’m a man and I am contradictory elements to my past and my personality. I’m the same kid that sold dope on Martin Luther King [Drive], paid for a tutor with that dope money, and got himself into Morehouse College because he knew Martin Luther King Jr. went there. My story is the American story. It’s Joe Kennedy. A grandfather who ran moonshine so his children could be better educated. My mother did what she did so her child could have a better life. I’m from that, and that’s what I wanna present in all it’s beauty. I’ve always told my story in that way because I have integrity. I can’t answer in terms of why other rappers do it; I’m just gonna say I don’t lie to my audience. I just think the true stories, the ones with all of our complexities, make better movies and songs. I would’ve loved to hear a Port of Miami where a guy gets fired from his job as a C.O. and goes on to some dirt. But for everybody who’s judging him now, understand that his next album is called Deeper Than Rap. We are politicians; he can spin this into something bigger. Now that the truth is told, what good is gonna come out of the truth?

Lacey Duvalle is a perfect 10. Too bad she got butt and tata implants.
^she dont got butt implants playa
^^^
nah, seems like it cause in a span of a few months she had a just ginormous backside (on top of the fatc that she alreayd ahd a nice sized backside) along with the fake ta’s and look at how the underside and her legs are slightly smaller and dont line up exactly with the huge ass cheeks, a la Angel…dont get me wrong me likey but just sayin ha…
jsut look at a video or something of her before the big ta’s abotu a year or so ago, and chekc the backside…you’ll see a difference.
anyways,
all I know is Jada Fire got the biggest dark ass hell nipples ever…

As long as Kamala continues to deny he used to smuggle cartons of squares for various thieves and molesters while at work, this shit is irrelevant to me. On a related note, that Pledge Allegiance to The Grind is better than I thought it would be.

I dont care either if he was an Officer but he denied STRONGLY!! how many dope boys paid their way through college? just like a stripper paying her way through college! but @19 was it, Ross knew he wanted to be a rapper and there was nothing wrong with being a CO! he shouldve made a rap about him moving weight through the jail while in uniform! the game is a GIMMICK and he chose to use the ever so popular DOPE gimmick! and it backfired! LOL!
***DIES**
Jeezy is beginning to get on my nerve first the lil fairytale about K Cole offering to buy him a ring and now he finally addresses Pimp C supposedly calling him out about 17.5, who cares, CORNBALL! DAMN Hova need to have a POW WOW with these dudes!
