WOW I HAD TO DO IT!!!!

I'M REALLY WAITNG FOR AN MC THAT DOESNT HAVE A PROBLEM MACKING MUSIC ABOUT HIS REAL LIFE !!!!! TRUST ME THERE ARE ENOUGH OF US OUT THERE THAT WILL BUY YOUR RECORD WITH YOU HAVING TO LIE ABOUT BEING A DRUG KINGPIN. IT SHOULDNT MATTER IF RICK ROSS WAS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER ONCE UPON A TIME, BUT IN TODAYS WARPED WORLD OF HIP HOP IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFRENCE IN THE WORLD. TRUELY SAD.








JULY 28–We don’t mean to pile on the beleaguered gangster rapper (and former prison guard) Rick Ross, but a Freedom of Information request has turned up additional documents chronicling the performer’s penal career. As we previously reported, despite vehement denials from Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts), Florida Department of Corrections (DoC) records show that the 32-year-old hip-hop star worked as a correctional officer for 18 months, until he resigned his $25,794.34 post in June 1997. In response to a TSG request, DoC officials released Ross’s 86-page personnel file, excerpts of which you’ll find on the following pages. The documents include Ross’s employment application (below), which notes that he was a 1994 graduate of Miami’s Carol City Senior High School and spent a year at Georgia’s Albany State College, where he studied Criminal Justice. On a personal history form, he identifies Tommie Ann Roberts as his mother and Tawanda Roberts as his sister. Both women are prominently thanked in the liner notes to Ross’s 2008 album “Trilla.”
