Rapper Rick Ross has always said he was a former drug dealer turned rapper, well it turns out he is a former prison guard. A rapper lying about his life? I just can’t believe it!

The Smoking Gun has cleared up a minor controversy surrounding the hot-right-now rapper. Turns out, Ross was in fact a Florida corrections officer, despite his claim that pictures circulating online showing him in uniform were “fake.” Not that there is anything wrong with being a prison guard, mind you. Except when you explicitly deny as much, and especially when virtually all of your best-known songs (like Ross’ 2006 cocaine-dealing anthem “Hustlin’ ” and his recent hit with T-Pain, “The Boss”) hype the outlaw/drug kingpin lifestyle.

Ok i’m not a fan of his but come on, is it such a bad thing he had a real job? I get that he was a cop and rappers hate cops. He admitted he did something illegal that he didn’t do but denied he had a legit job that he did have. My rap past would be awesome, alright the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was actually based on my life. I chopped up people and wore their face as masks. THUG LIFE!

Use-to-be talented rapper DMX was arrested again today on charges of taking someone’s identity. Your DMX, i don’t think anybody is gonna get him confused with somebody else.

Rapper DMX has been arrested at a Phoenix mall on a felony charge of taking the identity of another.

Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill did not have details of the charge, as it stemmed from a Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office case.

The sheriff’s office did not immediately return a request for comment.

See kids, this is what crack does to you. First your on top of the world, the next second your stealing someone’s ID.

When Imus was fired for his controversial statement about the Rutgers women’s basketball team Jesse Jackson went on a campaign to get the N word removed from that rap music stuff.

Jackson said the use of the “n” word and others in rap music are just as bad as the racist comments that got shock jock Imus fired.

Jackson also blames record companies.

Now Jesse Jackson was caught on tape not only saying he wants to cut Obama’s “Nuts” off but he always called Obama the N word. Ahhh snap, that’s interesting.

Al Sharpton spoke out stating:

“I think this certainly does not reflect the Reverend Jackson that we all know and love,” Sharpton said. “I think that we have to be consistent. We have denounced the N-word at National Action Network and other groups. Those of us and many of us who have used it privately said we must refrain from it if we’re going to challenge people using it publicly.”

This isn’t a race thing to me, this is about right and WRONG. That damn hippity hop ruins everything.

Hip Hop legend Nate Dogg showed up for court today looking bad. Nate was in court facing felony charges which he pleaded not guilty for.

I’m not gonna make fun of Nate Dogg cause dude has had some serious problems over the past few years. Get well Nate.

Rap legend Ice-T responded to hip pop trash Soulja Boy’s Youtube video where he called Ice-T old and ton of other stuff i didn’t pay attention to.

Anywho in the video Ice-T says hip hop needs to last forever and the stuff Soulja Boy is doing is ruining hip hop. Later in the video Ice says he’s got money and Soulja Boy only has 15 minutes. Soo true, enjoy those 15 minutes biatch.

Ever since she got a little fame Tila Tequila hasn’t gone nude or done softcore porn like she use too. I guess being a slut on tv pays more than being a slut in magazines. And please tell me rapper Lil’ Wayne didn’t say “MEH” about Tupac? What’s next a ringtone rapper going after Biggie?
