Got to say that last part is the straight up truth.Rap veteran Kool G Rap has vouched for Rick Ross and stood by the rapper despite his past employment as a corrections officer in the 1990's.
According to Kool G, Ross' pre-rap career employment carries little relevance today.
"I don't pay attention to all that sh*t," Kool said in an interview. "To me, if dude was a C.O. or whatever, dude was making a living. And I ain't gonna get too much into this sh*t because I'm not trying to make a circus out of this sh*t, because I'm not one to promote controversy and I'm not one to try to down another man out there doing his thing. What I will say is, I don't see a problem if he woulda just said, 'Yeah, I did that, but I'm doing this now.' Rather than people trying to use that to bring him down, he coulda just came clean and just said it like, 'Yo, I'ma real dude. I used to do this, but I'm doing this now.' So I would never try to down [him] for what he do or anything like that, I just think - hip-hop is a game where people appreciate you when you're more honest." (Hip Hop DX)
He also said there is a substantial amount of less credible artists allowed in hip-hop without debate.
"This is a game where everybody holds you so accountable for being real," Rap added. "But the fanbase is f*cked up too, because they supposed to be a fanbase that hold people accountable to being real so much but they let all these f*ckin' fake muthaf*ckas sneak right through the cracks. So I don't be wanting to hear nothing about Rick Ross and all that sh*t. It's a lot of fake muthaf*ckas that slipped right through the cracks, and get over. [They're] talking that gangsta life but ain't really - Let me tell you something, man, there's no way you can be a gangsta and rap at the same time. You can't have your feet in both worlds. It's impossible. 'Cause a gangster gotta be on the low. And a rapper has to be in the open. So it's like, the two contradict each other." (Hip Hop DX)

Although we’ve just entered into a new year rapper Lil Kim is continuing to add fuel to the fire between herself and fellow rapper Nicki Minaj. During Lil Kim’s New Year’s Eve performance at Hippodrome in Springfield, Massachusetts the rapper took the time during her set to yet again call out Nicki Minaj.
Lil Kim went on to explain that she believes that Nicki Minaj and Keyshia Cole’s “I Ain’t Thru” is aimed towards herself and Mary J. Blige.
Quote:
“I think this other bitch got a song with Keyshia Cole, right? Coming at me and the mothafuckin’ other queen, Mary J. Blige,” yelled Lil Kim during her performance at Hippodrome. “Me and my girl Mary J. Blige about to eat these bitches alive where they won’t even fucking exist no more and erase they fucking social security number! We gon’ remind them who the fuck we are! I’m not playing with this bitch for 2011. I’m saying, we can rock together but bitch you ain’t taking nothing from me!”
