  • Rick Ross Talks 'Hood Billionaire,' Dissapointment with Timbaland Over 'Movin Bass' Leak And More in Google Hangouts

    Rick Ross continues the promo for his new album "Hood Billionaire," which hit stores Monday, Nov. 24. He has been releasing a slew of music videos to keep the world squarly focused on his album and now made a stop in New York at the YouTube headquarters to talk with "MTV News" producer and radio host Sway Calloway and Rob Markman.Joining the segment "Real Rap," Rick Ross fielded questions from pear-eating fans all around the world and discussed his album Hood Billionaire to his secrets to business success, and shared the backstories on some humorous moments captured in the career of MMG bawse Rick Rozay, via "Hot New Hip Hop."The most noteworthy moment of the Google Hangouts session was when Calloway asked Rozay about the sticky situation that arose when Timbaland leaked the early version of "Movin Bass." This became apparent when the project dropped and the version on the album, featuring Jay-Z was totally different and did not feature Tink.

  • Rick Ross Shares Music Video for 'Hood Billionaire' Title Track [WATCH]

    Rick Ross's most recent studio album, "Hood Billionaire," was released yesterday, Nov. 24, and today the Florida rapper has shared the music video for the album's title track, which you can check out below. Not that much happens in the video: Ross raps at the camera, flaunts some cash in a dark room and is occasionally interrupted by a few quick shots of the streets — it is not clear what streets exactly — as well as some real-life footage of Ross sitting courtside at a Miami Heat game.But what makes the video unusual is that is it peculiarly bookended by short promos for "Hood Billionaire" and the upcoming fourth installment of Maybach Records's Self Made compilation series, as well as some shout-outs to rappers Stalley, Meek Mill and even some advertisements for Wing Stop and Luc Belaire wine.It feels like you are watching the video in a movie theater — a crappy movie theater, but still. Since this is not a particularly hooky track — or even a star-studded one, since Ross appears on his own — it seems as if this video was made as more of an advertisement for the album as a whole rather than just for this one song.You can check out Rick Ross's music video for "Hood Billionaire" here:

  • Freeway Rick Ross Calls on MMG Rapper to Fight 'Hip-Hop to Prison Pipeline,' Discourages 'Hood Billionaire' from Glorifying Drug Culture

    Former drug-dealer-turned-author Freeway Rick Ross is looking to make a change in the way hip-hop is perceived and the way drug culture is so heavily glorified. Ross is calling on the MMG rapper, who uses his name for entertainment purposes, to join his fight in ending the "hip-hop to prison pipeline." He believes the "Hood Billionaire" and other rappers should tell the truth about the origins of their success.While the "Hustlin" rapper has built a successful career from his tales of pushing drugs and becoming a self-made boss, Freeway believes these types of rap influences can be detrimental to the young people listening to it."To William Roberts, aka Rick Ross, who's using my name, I'm inviting you in to come with me," he said in a video, per "HipHopDX." "Let's fight this culture. Let's fight this penitentiary culture that hip-hop's been spreading. Let's make a difference. Me and you need to come together and you need to tell them that you didn't make your money selling drugs and making music is how you became famous. See, it's nothing wrong with making music just like it's nothing wrong with being a correctional officer if that's what you did."But so many of our friends who look up to you and look up to me are out on the streets thinking that they can go out and sell drugs and parlay that into a record career. I don't know if you know that they're not gonna make it, but I know that they're gonna wind up in prison with prison sentences three and four times what they should be because this war on drugs is no joke. I have 10 or 11 friends still in prison right now with life sentences, including one that even you know, Big Meech. I know how much you respect me and care about me, otherwise you wouldn't have took my name. Take a chance with me now. Let's make a difference."Freeway also called on other members of the hip-hop community to support the shift.
